Alright, look forward to another completion then. & I see you're playing Persona 4. Hope you're liking it. 

 

 

I can focus on it more once I finish Sackboy. only 195,000 more bubbles to go. What I have played is great though. I feel like I am returning back since I have already beaten the dancing game. The music is just as good and it is still a pretty top notch game. Even with being an older title.

Welcome!
 

Yeah, it's a great feeling to clear out an old game. That is an extensive list you've got there. Could you do me a favor & post a copy/paste friendly version (just titles & start dates if you like, with no bullets or bold font)? Sometimes copying a post doesn't let me change those features, meaning I'd be typing it all out. Thank you

Thank you @Gretchen27!
I have edited a stripped down version into my last post, used a code block because they're usually very copy-paste friendly.

Not sure if it counts, because it's a new trophy list, but I finished cleaning up Hitman 2. Started it on November 27th 2018, finished July 2nd 2020. Here's a summary on what I played from the game recently.

Spoiler

The recent DLCs I played were 3 very different maps, with 7 trophies each - 5 , 1  and 1 

 

The first was a bank in New York, and Agent 47 was tasked with stealing data either from a secure bank vault or from multiple well-guarded people around the map, and to kill the CEO who was a loose end that lived up in her fancy office on the most part. I found myself disguising myself as IT nerds, guards, market investors, etc, to make my way around and complete the objectives.

 

The second map was on a resort on a tropical island, on which there were 3 people to take out. Lots of fun to be had, as well as lots of opportunities to do the mission. It was a beautiful place to be.

 

And finally, the last map was a sniper one. Perched on a mountain in Siberia next to a prison, I was tasked to kill a high profile criminal who was getting ready for release, and the warden who was letting them go. Starting a riot to hide my tracks, I took down the targets, the guards, and caused chaos throughout the prison. The trophy list had a few tough ones, and included a multiplayer one who was easy to do, after waiting 40 minutes for a play partner.

@Mr-ttaM

Much appreciated for updating that list! You're on the board.

 

& in regards to Hitman 2: I'll allow it since that DLC was given a very unusual separate list. If it were a standalone like Freedom Cry, I'd have said no. Anyone else in the event who did the expansion can add it as a completion as well.

 A-maze-ing!

 

another one bites the dust..

[Gretchen27]

Okay, think I've got the new ranking system in place for everyone now. Turns out there's a 75 icon limit per post, so previous ranks did not get icons. & I fixed the inactive participant mess of spoilers in spoilers. They're simply listed with the accompany info moved to the spreadsheet I use for the end of year summaries. I can copy the info back over if someone rejoins. 

 

Let me know if you find any errors. 

[MattbluePT]

This month I started early. I'll try to complete at least one more from my backlog for this month.

 

LittleBigPlanet2 - Completed in 7 years, 11 months (7th July 2020)

 

I'll leave the 100% for when I decide to buy the PlayStation Move controller.

I can post the trophy icons I use in Monthly Madness for you.

Those are images uploded by the original event creator to avoid that issue.

[kingofbattle8174]

And I am actually o the board for July. 

 

 

Uncanny Valley

 

Completed in 1 year, two weeks and 1 day. Finished this off for Games by Numbers. A PS Plus game I picked up for my Vita and have been slowly getting those playthroughs finished. I hate that you have to wait for the timers for the first few days before you can get going to do anything. It really slows things down.

I am already fighting her on easy and can't beat her. I played through the game on normal difficulty but can't seem to get past her even on easy. I have been trying periodically for about two years. I play a decent amount of games myself but struggle with anything that requires specific timing for the moves you use since I have manual dexterity issues. 

 

Oh damn... well I think the issue most people have with it is the style of the fight itself. The entire game is essentially just running head first into things, this one you must play it like a Souls experience. Where dodging and parrying are 100% required. When you fight her, allow her to make the mistake first... if memory serves me correctly, she does two dives across the arena and then staggers for a bit... so thats an easy attack point, as is her four swing combo... keep dodging back and to left and you should avoid her and once she's done, pounce. 

 

Might be stupid question you have all epic/legendary runes equipped correct? And they are upgraded as well? Cause those make a big difference.

 

Lastly, I'll gladly give it a go in share play if you want... I know it's Share Play is super laggy, but I feel like it shouldn't be too bad.

I could also help you in share play if you would like. I did the Queen on Hard and found it best to constantly dodge(you get a couple seconds of invincibility, then we really quick with an ax throw(makes her stumble every now and then) then you go in for a big combo and get the hell put as quick as possible and back to the edge of the map. Keep that up. BUT KEEP IN MIND, the ax throw doesnt always cause the stumble so keep a close eye. It’s like a 5-10% chance she will actually have her little stumble. As @Leigrez pointed out, this battle is more a “Souls” battle than a God of War one. Take your time. Take advantage of cheap openings and GUARD GUARD GUARD. Every now and then on one of your guards you can sometimes get off a party for HUGE damage.

[REAPER4536]

I finished my Backlog game for July:

 

Battleborn - First trophy 25th February 2017 - Completed in 3 years, 4 Months 

 

Another Server shutdown avoided and since it's an online-only game, I got the 100% too. The platinum rarity lies at 1.45% while the 100% is at 0.61%. I just heard that the servers are not working again so I am glad that I rushed that game when the servers were working at the beginning of this month.

I am looking forward to a couple more backlog games before I can lay my hands on cyperbunk 2077 or maybe BFV/ some PS Plus titles.

[Kristen Danielle]

Hey, there. This is @Kristen Danielle. I had to switch my accounts because I wanted a 100% profile and the Dante's Inferno servers were pretty much shut down for good. If you could change my username on your list to SirensSalvation, that would be appreciated. The old account is now an alt. The games on my agenda for this event are RE0 through RE7. ?

[bruin-rocks]

@Gretchen27 I am currently working on The Last of Us Remastered 100%. Just cleaning up Grounded. I just recently beat Last of Us 2, and now want to play them back to back so figured I’d clean up the 100% and just play on Grounded. Also my totals for each year are a little off, in 2018, I only cleared 7 games off my backlog, not 41... I think you may have accidentally added my 2018 totals and my 2020 total so far together.

I love reading your backlog list because it looks kind of normal to begin with until April 2019 and then it's just an explosion of text.

 

Also, I am still on track for at least a backlog game a month with Whispering Willows (Vita) at 2 years and 9 months, rarity 56.19%.

Who else is still kicking on at least a game a month so far in 2020?

[hayesb]

I've finally managed to platinum a damn game, took me long enough 

 

Grand Theft Auto IV - Platinum in 8 Years, 2 Months - Rarity 0.95%

 

Now onto Call of Duty: World at War!

 

EDIT: Also just noticed this is my 40th Platinum! Sweet!

[AUSTRALIANDJ]

So figured I'd better post for July while I can.

 

This month almost ended my yearly backlog challenge.

Basically life got in the way and I'm moving house. Been staying with a friend about 2 hours from my PS4 but fortunately he has one. Tried to hit Team Sonic Racing pretty hard early July but after the shift didn't have my data in the cloud. So I had to logically have a think about the games I could potentially play where the online servers would remember my progress. Came down to Gems Of War, Battlefield Hardline and Super Star Wars. The first 2 grindy as hell. Therefore.

 

Super Star Wars 27th Mar 2016 (4 years, 3 months)

Had one trophy left to get. Beat the game on Jedi without losing any lives. Basically only way I was ever doing this was save scumming it. Eventually got through it thanks to that feature. Cause nobody doin dat legit!

 

Anyway I'm grateful to still be alive. Here's hoping I get my PS4 back soon because Battlefield Hardline and Team Sonic Racing are ripe for the picking. Lets just hope they don't come in before the end of July. (I refuse to hold off on games just for the monthly challenge)

 

Good luck all in wrapping up your July games.

[Leigrez]

I luckily got a big one done this month...

 

Rock Band 4 • NA All 62 Trophies 19th July 2020 • Completed in 4 years, 7 months

 

Hopefully I'll actually get around to completing Evasion and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor DLC next month.

 

Edit - I stuck to it and actually finished off another one. 
 

Guitar Hero Live All 50 Trophies 23rd July 2020 • Platinum in 2 years, 11 months

GH Live has hands down the worse calibration of any rhythm game and that 100% on expert was so frustrating due to the vertical notes. Glad it’s over with. 

Edited July 24, 2020 by Leigrez

[bruin-rocks]

I’m just hitching a ride on the old bandwagon here...

Killing Floor 2(PS4) - 100% in 3 Years 1 Month. Rarity 0.71%.
My second backlog game for July.

[Fnee2000]

Well, kept my streak alive but was kind of worried for a moment. Haven’t had much motivation to play games this month. Just decided it was time to clear something off the backlog. Decided to knock off the last unfinished backlog LEGO game on my list. This one seemed worse then LEGO LotR in terms of all those side quests and building bits. However, I managed to knock it out in just over 28 hours (according to my save file)...
