“What the Hell Is That Still Doing There” Backlog Event Ver. 3.0

[IGUnique]

First game of Februari. Took me long enough with 5 years and 11 months. Sadly the DLC isn't free with EA play and well basicly no-one is playing it so it will just be the platinum for this one. 

 

Battlefield 4 43 of 68 Trophies 5th February 2021 • Platinum in 5 years, 11 months

[Zbir_Vladimir]

Decided 2020 is a year of cleanup and doing that from January so I can probably post monthly here for a bit of fun:

 

For January it would be:

 

 

Atomic Ninjas All 12 Trophies 7th January 2021 • Completed in 2 years, 5 months

 

Needed to just pop few trophies as this stacks with Vita progress. Regardless, game is closed so I can put it here

 

Bodycount All 42 Trophies 10th January 2021 • Platinum in 2 years, 1 month

 

Had online done and needed to clear SP. Was not that bad as I expected and I was even having fun until out of a sudden game crashed when I reached final boss (and it was solid all the time earlier). Reloaded only to find out save file got corrupted. In the end I had to do entire hard playthrough again (but it felt much easier 2nd time so I wasted only couple of hours)

 

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days All 61 Trophies 10th January 2021 • Completed in 2 years, 3 weeks

 

Again, had most of the online done for some time (needed to grind the 'arcade part' and extreme playthrough). Extreme was... extreme. Cheap as f, opponents popping headshots instantly with your guns being absolutely inaccurate. Had to restart some checkpoints dozens of time but plowed through that. Liked the story (quite refreshing to be bad actually), disliked the rest.

 

FIFA 20 All 32 Trophies 30th January 2021 • Platinum in 1 year, 4 months

 

I love football but they really went too far with trophy difficulty in FIfa 20. Division rivals was so freaking hard that it took me a year to reach div4 (but did it without boosting so still felt as sort of accomplishment). Volta grind was ultra boring but easy in general. Thx to frustration with divisions in Fifa 20 I did not bought Fifa 21 so suck it EA.

Do you still own a PS3?

I see quite a few games you can finish off reallt quickly if you still do.

Yeah, I do still have a PS3, I just have such little time to game, that when I get the opportunity I prefer jumping on my PS4, but I’ll take any recommendations for PS3 games, one such game is Terminator Salvation, I have been working on that for ages. It’s so boring.

I know that feeling, but if you just stick with it, you can knock out the game in about 4 hours. Then you can trash it.

Other options I have seen which shouldn't take too long and some of my faves that you haven't finished yet:

Batman: Arkham Asylum - The Challenges can be ... challenging, but with a little bit of practice, you can do it.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - You have the trophy for getting all the orbs left and that's it. Did the save file get deleted or something?

Journey - The last couple of trophies will take about 20 minutes at most. You'll get one when you boot up the game and the other two you can load the levels and play offline if you want no interference.

Machinarium - The game can be completed with a guide in less than an hour, and I've completed it twice

Alice: Madness Returns - The levels are long and finding the collectibles can be a little time consuming, but this macabre game is a little platforming gem with some serious messed up themes.

Sleeping Dogs - A great game which I need to finish, the only pains are getting enough money to get all the cars and my save game vanished. GTA Hong Kong seems an apt title.

Dead Nation - The Morbid playthrough is a little brutal, but you can do it with patience and doing a level at a time. The Rifle, the Blade Cannon and as many Mines, Flares and Grenades as you can carry will be your ticket through the hellscape.

Tales of Monkey Island Ep1 - There are some great guides for the game, you can get through it in less than 3 hours easily.

Dead Space series - I love the DS games, DS 1 I need to finish on the hardest difficulty, the same with DS2. If you ever want to pick up DS3 at any point, let me know

Puppeteer - The sheer amount of trophies for this game is bonkers and once you know how to get them, they aren't that difficult. Then again, I do love platformers which  don't take themselves too seriously.

Dante's Inferno - It really is a cheap GoW clone, but the game is a lot easier. If you can stomach doing another playthrough or half playthrough, this will be easily crossed off the list.

South Park: The Stick of Truth - Very fun and quite an easy RPG (I think I died twice in the whole game). The collectibles are a bit of a pain, but some forward planning and you can clear it all out before you get to the final boss.

Thanks for the recommendations, I unfortunately don’t own most of them on disc, but if I find them cheap I will pick them up. 

Batman Arkham Asylum: I kick myself for never finishing this. I loved it so much but the ending killed it for me, so I never wanted to play it again on Hard. But I might jump back in cause it’s been so long

Jak and Daxter: I had one orb left, and my power went out and wiped my save, I was to young back then to know about back up saves. So I have to collect all the stupid orbs again. 
Journey: I loved it, but it’s too slow for me, especially with the little time I have to play, I like big action now it seems, another reason I should jump back on Arkham Asylum. 
Machinarium: Thank you for the recommendation there. I always missed that I guess, I’ll knock that out soon! 
Alice Madness Returns: I don’t own it but really want to. 
Sleeping Dogs: Sounds like it’ll be the action I’m looking for. I will start that soon

Dead Nation: I struggle... I die... I struggle... I die...

Tales of Monkey Island: I may try it out. I wasn’t a big fan though. 
Dead Space: I have all of them, and I love them all, including 3(I played it on the 360 and loved it) I’m down to give it a shot again, I also want to do the other two, but, they are difficult games for the little amount of time I have. I hate dying and losing progress, I usually just power down at that point. 
Puppeteer: Forgot that existed I have it on my PS3 though... Maybe I’ll clear that sometime. If I don’t get big action I like games with shorter “levels” so I can take breaks.

Dante’s Inferno: I got that in my list. 
South Park: I also have it on disc, been meaning to play it. But my last memory of it was standing outside a garage wondering what I was supposed to be doing. 

overall I have increased my PS3 playlist, it’s just a matter of firing it up, my PS3 also doesn’t have HDMI capabilities, so it’s harder to set up. I have a bunch of adapters to change the output for my PS3, so it eventually works with an HDMI cable. My PS3 is also 13 years old, so it’s sort of a collectible for me, I’m afraid it will die, so I take care when I use it.

Batman:AA - Yeah the ending was lacklustre and kind of ruined the buildup of the game, but Arkham City makes up on the story and boss fights by far.

Journey - I have no doubt that you can wrap it up in half an hour and not worry about it. 

Alice: Madness Returns - If my version would work on your PS3, I'd send you my copy

Dead Nation - I struggled a lot too. The issue with co-op is that they increase the difficulty by one to compensate for the extra person, so it's easier to play solo cos it's like playing the whole game on Undead otherwise!

Dead Space - Yeah, HC mode on two is my last trophy. It's a bitch to do without practice. I haven't practiced for about 5 years now.... If you want to do DS3 co-op sometime, let me know.

Puppeteer - There are quite a few levels, but they can be done in 15 - 20mins each, so they don't outstay their welcome. The bosses are very fun too.

South Park - Once you get to the open world, you can wander and find quests, it shouldn't be that hard to find the main questline. After that, just lots of toilet humour til the end.

My platinum for February is done. Finished up Dying Light with the help of @JayDeLosDioses. We are working on the DLC now and I know he is close to the plat as well, just missing the same trophy that I was closer to getting. Anyway, Platinum is out of the way. If we somehow finish the DLC before the end of the month, I will amend this posting...

Mercenary Kings All 26 Trophies 10th February 2021 • Platinum in 5 years, 1 month

 

My 2021 Backlog Streak continues. With an ultra rare to boot! Platinum Rarity 1.39% I love Mercenary Kings, I originally put it down cause I thought the grind would be harder but it wasn’t so bad and now I’m helping a friend through it, and I just picked up the Vita physical version, so more bullets to be fired and grenades to be thrown coming my way. 
 

Mercenary Kings(PS4) [5 Years 1 Month]

Edited February 11, 2021 by bruin-rocks

[JayDeLosDioses]

Completed in 10 months and a week.

GRID

 

It's finally over... Around the Globe is done.

At least it's a gold trophy, because it's one of those that can kill a game for trophy hunters.

6 months of extra on and off grinding for a single trophy.

Yes, it's at somewhere between 60% - 65% rubberbanded, but after doing the first 10k I was already losing my mind.

 

Other than that GRID is an okay-ish racing game from Codemasters.

It's not as good as the F1 games and they have a weird fetish for doing races on reverse layouts in career mode.

Which sucks. Tracks are build to be driven one way and if you reverse it a lot of things don't add up anymore.

Like curbs and run-off areas. Playing thousands of hours of F1 games the flow of reverse tracks also feels weird.

 

EDIT:

 

And another 100% on top of that.

Goat Simulator DLC clean up in 1 year and 2 months.

The controls in Waste of Space are awful for the Spaceship. I hate it.

Waste of storage space it was...

Congrats on GRID! Codemasters is great in making grind trophies... (currently working on that f1 2017 online grind and need another 2-3 seasons in career....)

 

Another entry for Februari and a game that is perfect for this event "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End". Never wanted to complete the survival on crushing, had the game sitting on 95% for over 3 years and now it's finally 100% completed. Also a very nice 0.82% completion rarity.

No F1 grind was as bad as GRID so far

Those games are fun at least.

Have knocked one over for February:

 

Red Bow 

First trophy- 27th January 2020

Platinum  - 15th February 2021

1 year, 2 weeks, 6 days

[Crispy_Oglop]

Hey all, time for an update and a bit of a list re-do - I think I was a bit hasty with building out a month-by-month breakdown. So i've decided to remove the month milestones, I'm playing newer backlog games & newer releases too as part of a separate challenge. So tying specific titles into specific months is a bit overwhelming and counterproductive to balancing both healthily.

 

I'm currently working on a final playthrough of Observation to clear up the last couple of trophies that I need for the 100%. Truly one of the best science fiction stories i've ever experienced. If you are into slow burning narrative sci-fi that really makes you think, this one is well worth a shot.

This month I managed to complete a game that has been sitting on my backlog for months. Also, managed to complete a DLC from Little Big Planet 2, has i'm trying to complete everything Vita related, has I'm thinking of selling the console. So, for February I have already completed the following:

 

MotorStorm RC

All 32 Trophies

9^th February 2021 • Completed in 7 years, 3 months

100% Rarity: 7,11%

 

LittleBigPlanet™2: Cross-Controller DLC 7 of 7 Trophies

[bruin-rocks]

I’m currently playing Swords of Ditto, I have no memory of playing it 3 years ago, but apparently I did, not sure why I put it down back then either because I was having a blast playing the game the last couple days. But now I have a tedious grind ahead of me, but it’s but really as bad as I am assuming it will be, I’m already 20/50 penguins, and 40/50 history runes, and I still have to beat the final boss three more times for the secret ending. 

[Phlegeth]

My next game is going to be Bloodborne.  I just grabbed the last two weapons I needed and a level five gem.  And I'm like halfway through the Chalices.  Of course, the second half is defiled and I've heard the stories.

[hayesb]

Game for February COMPLETE! Slowly but surely chipping off the PS3 backlog!

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 All 51 Trophies 16th February 2021 • Platinum in 7 years, 6 months 8.03% Platinum/100% Rarity

[Phlegeth]

Bloodborne 35 of 40 Trophies 19th February 2021 • Platinum in 3 years, 1 month

 

 

Plat for February done.  Going to start on the DLC in earnest now.

[Psy-Tychist]

Working on some of my UR games in my backlog this month E.g. Nova-111, Neon Chrome and flOw, bit slow going so far. 

 

Hopefully have a few games to show for this month.

[Kishnabe]

Super Tennis Blast • EU All 33 Trophies 10th February 2021 • Platinum in 1 year, 8 months

 

 

Awesome Pea • EU All 34 Trophies 10th February 2021 • Platinum in 1 year, 11 months

 

 

The Cat and the Coup All 4 Trophies 13th February 2021 • Completed in 2 years, 4 months

 

 

Cat and The Coup Speedrum was a pain for me.  I would try 2-3 runs every few days. Missing by seconds 100's of times.

 

Finally got a good clean run.... 

 

 

[Psy-Tychist]

Finally got through flOw and increased by UR count for the year by 6!

 

flOw

All 14 Trophies

21^st February 2021 • Completed in 4 years, 2 months

 

Rarity: 2.63%

 

Onto Neon Chrome and Hand of Fate!
