Unfortunately, I wasn't able to earn any trophies in my list yesterday due to having to sell candy half of the day. I played Lara Croft GO on the Vita... and found out the trophy list was shared so I wasted my time and money on a game I didn't need to play. (And yes, the loading times are atrocious so that was even worse.) I could have gotten some work on Adventure Time: Secret of the Nameless Kingdom but I was a fool. :(

 

Anyways, I'll get back to work after mass this morning. (It's 1 AM right now, I need to get some sleep.)

 

EDIT: Also, I am definitely not completing this challenge - I have since decided to drop The Unfinished Swan from my life, and yes, it's because of Minimalist. I can follow the guide up until the walkway in the garden but then I screw up and hit the paintball button too many times. I have ADHD and get really pissed when things go south and I start throwing. (I got the latter term from this Maplestory video.)

 

Is the trophy doable? Yes.

Am I going to be enough of an a$$hole to earn it? Nope! Especially not after dealing with Gone Home's Homerunner!

 

Needless to say, I will complete the remaining games during the summer challenge even though I already admitted defeat. Luckily, it's not on my account since I didn't earn any other trophies on it, so I deleted it from my library.

Congratulations to all those making progress on this challenge!

 

My status update is dismal.  Games on my list have all been on my backlog for a reason other time. I tried to make progress on Heavy Fire Afghanistan today. The controls are still not at all intuitive to me. Right stick enters cover, not camera like most games. Which means all buttons accessible by thumb [X, circle, diamond, square] are not accessible while in cover! Meanwhile I keep pounding the D pad, which does nothing.

 

Neither L2 or L1 is a scope zoom. There is no zoom. And worse, L2 throws grenades, but no indication of where. Apparently one time I tossed a grenade into my squad, which I did not even realize I had, since my score was subtracted with a friendly fire message. Like the grenade toss, there is no indication of where the squad is on the screen.

 

The game emphasizes the use of cover. But then throws you into areas where there is no cover, such as a machine gun, or on a turret mounted above a humvee. Yet your enemy in a similar situation is heavily protected.

 

Occasionally, the screen shows a picture of a controller and an arrow. I have yet to figure out what to do then. But doing nothing seems to work best.

 

The game awards you for poor marksmanship. The only way to collect ammo or health is to shoot it. Several trophies are tied to the number of bullets shot. Or for breaking stuff by shooting it. I can't tell what counts as a breakable collectable. I believe there is even a trophy for making under 5% of your shoots in a mission. The only positive here is that you don't have to purchase ammo.

 

I am not ready to admit defeat. But I will have to pause a bit. I ran out of cash to put in the swear jar!

Sorry to hear that. I heard horror stories of Heavy Fire Afghanistan and am glad I hate FPSes. xD Just be glad you have three months.

 

Anyways, I made a decision - I plan on getting my 29th platinum today but not on this list, so I am going to try to complete Gone Home to get at least one game on this list completed and so I can get started with Dragon Quest Builders as my 30th plat. Then over the week I'll get down to business with 100% ABZU and the other games on this list. I might earn a trophy in Deadly Tower of Monsters today, just to get it on the account.

I'd like to join in on this challenge. What's funny is I don't think my backlog is considered the same as others. I only load games on my account if I am going to 100%. So, instead, my backlog consists of games that I physically own but have never started. It's kind of a problem... I own so many games I've never even put in my PlayStation.

 

Here's my list:

 

PS3

God of War II (0%)

God of War III (0%)

God of War: Ascension (0%)

God of War: Chains of Olympus (0%)

God of War: Ghost of Sparta (0%)

 

PS4

Odd World: New n' Tasty (0%)

Final Fantasy XV (0%)

Borderlands 2 (7%)

Finally got my first game completed, Gone Home Console Edition. It took a while to get through the game a few more times but after the Homerunner trophy, every else was cake. ^_^

 

I plan on spending tomorrow getting 100% in ABZU from 0% since it looks really difficult to find save points. I'll also work on Deadly Tower of Monsters to get a trophy from it. Then the days to come will be focused on one game at a time to get as many trophies as possible in each so I don't burn myself out on multi-tasking. ;)

I'm taking a break from Life is Strange and diving into God of War again. I love this series. I made it all the way to Pandora's Temple from where I was at today, which is pretty good progress (for me). I'll probably finish the game by Tuesday...? I have no idea when I will since the chickens sometimes decide to rebel and it takes a lot of time to get them back in check. Either way, progress is being made.

 

Also, if anyone wants to boost anything in this list or anything in their list, I'm down. Especially with Far Cry 3 since I have no idea how populated the online co-op is nowadays, I would imagine it's rather dead.

Weekend #1 of Challenge is done.

 

Midnight I hear you regarding Unfinished Swan. That trophy is why I didn't put that game on my list.

 

So my nightmare continues with Heavy Fire. I have managed to make it thru level 5 Rookie run. Almost half way through this play through.

3% -> 20%. I started this game in Aug 2012. Right now I feel I will be lucky to finish it by Aug 2017!

 

Lumpy you have in my opinion a very challenging list. I can try to help with far cry and wolfenstein.

 

Good Luck and Happy Hunting everyone!

Digimon World: Next Order (17%)
Gravity Rush 2 (7%)
Never Alone (0%)
Nier Automata (0%)
Nights of Azure (18%)
Puyo Puyo Tetris (0%)

Croixleur Sigma (11% -> 23%)
Day of the Tentacle Remastered (0%)
History Legends of War: Patton (0%)
Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed (25% -> 28%)
Ultratron (0%)

 

On the console side, I started Starwhal up and got a few easy trophies to start that out. A lot of stuff is in versus mode, which will require a lot of grinding later. I also played Gravity Rush 2 for a few missions, but got no additional trophies in there yet.

Moved to chapter 3 in Neptunia U, finishing all quests up to this point for 52% quests completed. I'll need 100% eventually so it's good to get everything out of the way as soon as possible.

I believe @colinmazzini asked me about Croixleur Sigma - it's an interesting hybrid of a hack and slash and an action RPG. There's a choice between four characters (I've only unlocked three though) and many weapons for each that have special moves and level up as you use them. Also, there's plenty of modes in the game - story, survival, score attack, challenge, and I haven't unlocked all of them yet. Plus you can dress up the characters with a bunch of ridiculous attachments that provide various stat boosts or other powerups. In this, I managed to clear the initial character's story mode in under 10 minutes to unlock an additional battle at the end, which rolled the credits and unlocked the third character. So it's a beaten game, but given the trophy count there's still a lot to do. I also cleared all of the challenges that I have unlocked (10) but no additional trophies there - meaning there's at least more than 21 total.

Just got the 100% for ABZU. It wasn't too hard a game, just a bit long and needing a guide. I had to go back for one seashell as I missed it - it's the one in the second jetstream in Chapter 2.

I wanted to try to get a trophy on Deadly Tower of Monsters but I was getting a bit disjointed and needed a nap after handling swimming controls. xD Big week this will be - I have to get started in pushing those single digit % to double-digits.

I feel you, bro. It was a cool Banjo-Kazooie clone but it was just that, and the aspect of freezing time with your camera should have been executed a bit better. Oh well, easy plat if you are skilled enough to get past the first stage of the final level.

That final stage made me more frustrated at a game then I have been in a long time just because the controls and camera angles made it far harder than it should have been.
