Welcome to the event! I'll have a section in place for you next update Got a game done early with Papers, Please at 9 months, 2 weeks. Rarity 9.62% A 100% non-platinum game to boot, that’s a rare one for me. Papers, Please is an indie, point & click game set in a early 1980s fictional communist country. You play as a new inspector (drawn from the work lottery) at a border crossing checkpoint. Where you must work meticulously hard checking entry paperwork for discrepancies, earning meager wages that are never enough to support your family without sacrificing food or heating some days to pay the bills. The opposition is frequently pressuring you to aide them with tasks to usurp the government that can start as simple as letting certain people in without their papers, & can escalate all the way to murder. The gameplay revolves around this checkpoint station. Checking minute details on people’s paperwork from weight, country, picture, fingerprints, seals, names, DOB, it goes on for 20 more items. It gets overwhelming, as everyday sees a new item thrown in or changed. & at the beginning, I felt rushed to process enough people to make living wages. Then I got a bad ending for being trustworthy, & that’s when I had enough of this game, leaving it to rot on my list. Well, I finally felt like giving it a fresh start, & my opinion didn’t improve all that much. I certainly had my method down for processing the randomly generated people, & it was satisfying to clear a dozen a day, but at the same time, it felt like a slog. I’d cringe every time I heard that tickertape citation print out telling me I missed a discrepancy. The game just didn’t click well with me. Next up Been playing some fun games for KYC, so nothing backlog related is vying for my attention. I've been considering joining this event since I'm VERY bad about starting new games before finishing current/old ones. We just update here during the month that we finish one (that applies to the six months old rule), right? Also I had to reply to you playing Papers Please, because theres a game by the same dev called Return of the Obra Dinn that is just fantastic. Much better than Papers Please. Really worth playing if you ever find yourself looking at or considering it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to a near endless endeavor Like Psy-Tychist said -someone's always good about answering questions quickly here for me, so always feel free to ask about anything you're unsure of- any game 6 months or older from trophy earned is eligible. Just be sure to share your completion journey here, we enjoy reading them; & try to include the duration & percentage (that helps me out). Other than that, it's work at your backlog at your own pace. I'll check out Return of the Obra Dinn, the name sounds familiar for some reason. As long as it doesn't requiring exacting tasks like Papers, Please, I'd be willing to give it a shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bruin-rocks Posted March 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2021 Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate All 31 Trophies 18th March 2021 • Platinum in 7 years, 4 months Another game done for March, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate(Vita). I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Not sure why I never really got into it 7 years ago. It’s a 2.5D Beat’Em Up, the fighting system is a little similar to the PS3 Batman games, albeit dumbed down a bit. It’s a pretty short jaunt through Arkham Asylum, but any longer it would start to drag. There are seven boss fights throughout the game, and they all require a different strategy to beat them, utilizing certain items to benefit you in the fights. The Asylum is full of small nooks that you can open up after finding the right items, they usually lead to collectibles or shortcuts. All in all it was an interesting game, I’m glad to of cleared it from my list! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gretchen27 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 Okay, y'all know I'm not one to post progress updates often, but I just earned the Avatar Rockstar trophy in Tetris Effect That's taken me months, logging in on Saturdays & participating in the weekly ritual for a few avatars here & there. Basically, if the world earns enough points playing certain game modes, you're guaranteed one avatar. & each game you play gives an avatar, but the chances are low it's a new one (& subsequently gets lower the more avatars you already have). I've played for 1hr+ before & only got one new one. So I am proud to have finally collected 100 avatars right now. & while I'm on the subject of clearing long overdue hurdles; I've been grinding levels in Exist Archive for quite some time, & just this week went after the highest level dungeon bosses I was stuck on. Cleared them. Then boldly tried a post game boss. 2hrs later with the damn thing reviving 4 times, I smartened up enough to look up how to beat him. Turns out I had to destroy all 5 of his body armor parts before getting his HP to 0. Yeah... found that out after using all the buffs & potions I'd been stockpiling. Thankfully, I was able to reload the save, & taking another hour destroying the parts, was able to beat him. Now I get to find out if my party is good enough to speed run all the bosses. Doubtful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JourneySilvers Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 As soon as I asked to join this challenge, I went looking through some vita games that I could clean up, and I just finished VA-11 HALL-A! Its a VN with drink mixing/bartending gameplay. You chat with and learn about the customers who come to the bar VA-11 HALL-A, and try to help them with their issues as well as learning about the protagonist you play as (Jill). I finished the main campaign of this a long time ago and loved it, but due to me missing some trophies that would require either multiple playthroughs or very attentive save management, I never stuck around or platinum-ed it. I'm glad I eventually did though, because this game is a really beautiful experience, and I always wanted the plat for my profile. My first trophy in the game was on September 16th, 2018. The latest trophy I had gotten before continuing it for this challenge was on May 20th, 2019. I was at 60% completion and 23/34 trophies. The biggest hurdle (other than the fact that there is no text skipping for a VN I had to play 3 times) was a bullet hell minigame that took me a few days of practice, since I have very little experience with bullet hells.

Popular Post JayDeLosDioses Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Adding another 100% to my list: Sid Meiers Civilization VI in 1 year and 4 months. (Mostly because they're still releasing DLC for it. The final one of the season pass tomorrow.) Currently sitting at 0.10% rarity, myself being the 7th achiever of the 100%. The achievements for the new DLC are already released on steam, but so far no new trophies for PlayStation. For anyone having this on their list and struggle with some trophies. Use the Hotseat multiplayer mode Create a two player game and simply play both nations. EDIT: @Gretchen27 you've got my games mixed up for the monthly streak. Eekeemoo was in February, not January. Just a heads up though, no need to change it, as long as a game is counted for january Edited March 24, 2021 by JayDeLosDioses 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crispy_Oglop Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Hey all, update time! I made some decent progress in getting Platinum 169 and Platinum 170 with Nioh and Thimbleweed Park respectively. I still have some DLC progress to make in Nioh so i'm going to keep that up as In Progress status. I might fall 3 bronze trophies short of the 100% for this one though. They are all based on higher difficulty completion (a.k.a Way of the Demon difficulty). I was initially all in on this, but thinking about the time commitment vs it just coming down to 3 bronze trophies - I'm not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze for me - I've completed most of the base game missions on the difficulty needed, but the grind is real to gear up to be able to progress functionally. It's quite a time commitment. I'll no doubt keep it in the list and chip away at it, but i might de-prioritise it a bit more vs other games once i've knocked out the other DLC trophies. I guess it comes down to how okay I am with getting to 97%/98% completion with it and putting it down for good. In other news - Thimbleweed Park is just a wonderful point and click adventure and clearly made by developers who loved games like Day of the Tentacle and the early Monkey Island games. It's just a wonderful atmospheric crime adventure with the same sort of humour and puzzle solving as those games I mentioned. They also did a fantastic job of tailoring the puzzles to each difficulty. The only gripe I have with the trophy list is the handful of pointless filler trophies - picking up a crazy amount of dust specks / reading 100 books / calling a tonne of phone numbers. Other than that, I really enjoyed this. Highly recommend playing this through on hard mode with the full puzzle system implemented and without a guide. It's a relatively cosy platinum even without a guide. Next up, I think i'm going to work on.....well I actually haven't thought that far ahead. This year so far has slowly turned me into a procrastinator and I have no idea why. Send help....and coffee!

I was so close to the platinum back in the day and I have no idea why I stopped. I'm genuinely annoyed at myself for this. I don't even know if I have my old save so i'll likely have to start from scratch, which means I will definitely be more motivated having a few folks working on it at the same time in tandem. Feel free to add me on PSN (make sure to pop a note in reminding me you are from PSNProfiles) and i'll add you, in case we end up doing co-op at some point (same goes for you @Aviditas90 and @roxas1233). I'm actually kinda happy to start from scratch and rediscover it, I truly thought this game was a bit of a masterpiece.

Popular Post Askey Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'd love to join! I have four games to add so far for 2021. Alteric: First Trophy Sept 4th 2020 - Platinum Mar 19th 2021 - 6 months, 1 week, 6 days This game is notoriously glitchy and has terrible frame rate issues so I had to set it down for awhile to keep my sanity. Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms: First Trophy Jun 1st 2020 - Platinum Jan 4th 2021 - 7 months, 3 days, 19 hours Got bored after awhile but finally came back and finished it. Minecraft: First Trophy Feb 3rd 2015 - Completed all DLC Mar 19th 2021 - 6 years, 1 month, 2 weeks Shout out to @Geji304 for helping me get all of the online trophies. Uncanny Valley: First Trophy Jan 2nd 2018 - Completed Feb 2nd 2021 - 3 years, 1 month, 2 days Had a trophy not pop for me so it fell to the bottom of the play list for a couple years. lol I just got the Plat in Bioshock 2 Remastered but I'm still working on the DLC.

Popular Post roxas1233 Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 After going over it for while this seems like a nice way to get through some of the games i never picked up again after playing them for a while. Either where i just gave up or lost interest. I went over all my games and i created my backlog which i am actually quite excited about. Spoiler Yakuza zero - July 2018 Person 5 - August 2017 Borderlands 3 - September 2019 Sekiro - March 2019 Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage - November 2018 Batman Arkham Knight - November 2019 Bloodborne - March 2016 Mad Max - April 2018 Rage 2 - June 2019 This challenge actually fits right into what i am currently during as i just completed the original Nioh. I got the plat for Nioh 2 when it came out and i enjoyed it alot. So it was just a matter of time before i would go back to the original. I started over and whent through it more easily than i thought. I would like to get the plat for that one, but some of thoses last missions are a pain. Maybe ill go back to it again some day. Right now i am going with playing Bloodborne as my main game and take it nice a slow, hopefully together with some of these guys who have been so friendly here on the forum (dont know how to add you in here yet :/). I think i will pick up Yakuza zero along the way and just focus on the story which i found very interesting last time i played it. For me it was all the side stuff that killed my motivation as it was soooo text heavy. I dont like reading for so long in games so i called the quits. But i think when i just focus on the story stuff ill get by. Quick question: Do i have to have trophy on my games before i can play it in this challenge? Have a nice day all of you. Looking forward to see what is going to happen here 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first playthrough where I got all Detective Clues, and as many Batsuits as I could took me about 4.5 hours, by second playthrough took 1 hour and 34 minutes, and my Third one I had to go back and collect all the upgrades, but even with that my 3rd playthrough was 2 hours 2 minutes. I did all this without the use of a guide as well, so I got stumped in a few spots, and took a bit to figure those out. So all in all I think this platinum is doable in 8-12 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO count it you need to ether finish the store, get platinum, get all still achieveable trophies, or finish dlc. With the dlc the rules are a bit bendable how much you need to finish. alot people do the "all dlc done" thing but in some cases just 1 dlc can be enough or all but 1 dlc or something like that. i guess some reasoning for the desicion to count it would be nice in that case but thats just my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
