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

[MattbluePT]

August started with less 2 games on my backlog

 

Brutal Legend  100%  - Completed in 7 years, 11 months (4th August 2020)

 

Journey (PS4) 100% - Completed in 9 months, 1 week (7th August 2020)

 

Will probably do one or two more. AC Brotherhood is next, whenever I get the motivation to complete chapter 5 again, as that trophy glitched somehow.

Congratz on this awesome game. I have heard that the 100% is close to unobtainable. But damn nearly 10 years and you got it done.

How do you implement that game into your post. Like how do you copy it while it's not an image.

 

Super simple, on your trophy list on the other part of the site, just highlight the info, hit copy and then paste it in a post... it will say at the bottom after the paste that it is a specific format, just hit the X cause you know that. It's one of the best features of this site, to be able to grab images and things like that and be able to share em.

 

Also the game is not unobtainable whatsoever... bad information from EA support (saying it's down), because the DLC has been removed from the store and periodically the online goes down for a week or two every year, it makes a scare for everyone. Right on the back of the Dante's Inferno case though, it states plain and simple if they give notice of server closure, you have 30 days from that point before it closes... so you can always bring it up to the BB and force em to reopen it for the mandatory 30 days. 

 

Took me 3 solid days of grinding it out, so its not as bad as I thought.

My August game is done!

 

Need for Speed - Done in 1 year 11 months

[IGUnique]

I'm a little short on time this Month so decided to do borderlands 3 dlc pack 3  to keep the streek going.

Borderlands 3 All 68 Trophies 11th August 2020 • Completed in 10 months, 4 weeks

[xEl_Cidx]

August 2020 - Update - Goal achieved

 

Killzone (PS3) - First Trophy 01/02/20 - Goal 100%

[MattbluePT]

+1 for this month:

 

Nihilumbra  100%  - Completed in 6 months, 2 weeks (17th August 2020)

[Fnee2000]

Got another game in the plat bag for the month. I have a couple of DLC’s to work on now, so this should be a 100% by the end of the month. That is my hope at least. Interesting story but I liked Fallout 3 more overall. Then again, I originally played this back when it first came out and I was awfully close to being finished when I stopped playing back then. So I don’t fully remember a lot of the earlier story lines. Anyway, back into the wasteland for a little while longer...

 

Fallout 4 (PS4) - Platinum in 4 years, 9 months

[TomoTakino]

This topic seems like a lot of fun!  I'd like to join if that's OK.

[Ich1994-1994]

Had less to do in the last days so i had some time for gaming and got a game for august done

 

sly cooper and the thievius raccoonus (Vita) after 1 year and 11 months
i am easy above and avarage of 1 game per month this year already but still wanted to keep the streak of actually completing at least 1 per month going

 

[Fnee2000]

An amendment to my previous platinum. I finished up all of the DLC’s. Including having to farm for 100,000 damn tickets ? I did enjoy the Nuka World DLC besides having to suffer through that one trophy. I tried the “cheats” people had on YouTube, but I couldn’t get any of them to work. So I just buckled down and farmed the normal way. Anyway, another game completely removed from the unfinished games list...

 

Fallout 4 (PS4) - Completed in 4 years, 9 months

[Gretchen27]

Managed a game this month with Resident Evil 2 100% at 8 months, 3 weeks. AR 4.67%.

My first introduction to the Resident Evil game series. Did things a bit out of order by watching the movies first. They're the rare exception to good game movies (though I admittedly love the Hitman movies to), & I really enjoyed the game. The whole two different routes & playable characters from different viewpoints is a great reason to replay & keeps the game fresh. Though I'm not a fan of the gauntlet modes. That's really all I had to clear up here is the free DLC pack for the Ghost Survivors, find some extra collectibles & do the survival raid for the sheriff's scenario. The first batch I had minimal trouble with, that last task though was a nerve-wracking challenge. Got it done regardless.

I wanted my game this month to be Resonance of Fate, but I just couldn't finish it. I'm over 40 hours into the game &  haven't even completed the story yet. It's been my main focus lately since I've finally gotten the hang of the combat system, still my gaming time has been short of late. I'm going to try & have it as my game completion for next month so at least I can have a PS3 backlog game crossed off for the year & a pretty old one for my list to boot. 


@TomoTakino Welcome! I'll add you in on the next update. Also, just to let you know, games are counted on a monthly basis so you can add in any you have completed for this month if you'd like.

I completed a game for August, I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to find time but I managed to snag Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified (PS Vita) - Platinum achieved. First trophy June 23rd 2017, 3 Years 2 Months. Rarity 3.02%. 
 

Just another Call of Duty game to add to my list of completed backlog games. I believe it’s my fifth CoD Backlog game. This one was great for being a Vita game, extremely frustrating when your joystick breaks and you can’t properly move your character....

[bruin-rocks]

Minecraft (PS4) - 100% complete, first trophy April 18th 2015, completion time 5 years 4 months. Rarity 0.20%. I’m starting to feel guilty crossing off the same games over and over. But thats my second game for August complete.

Save them for closer to the end of the year then & just do a wrap up for the handful of games that don't know when to quit with the update trophies. That way you'll only count them once for the year with minimal guilt while still maintaining the spirit of the event.

[hayesb]

FINALLY! You guys have no idea how happy I am to be done with the campaign of this game. And in turn for doing so... 

 

Call of Duty: World at War 45 of 65 Trophies 26th August 2020 • Platinum in 7 years, 10 months

 

Heart of the Reich was such a pain, I ended up having to watch walkthroughs for that specific mission on how to beat it on Veteran. I cannot STAND the abuse of grenades in this game! lmfao. Thankfully it's done with. Sum of All Zeros was also a bit annoying but after turning the brightness up I got it done on the first try! I'll be returning to the game again soon for Zombies and for the 100%, but for now I'm satisfied. 

 

Next up: inFamous!

[Kevvik]

Managed to finish a title after a pretty rough summer.

 

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter

First trophy - 21 Nov 19

Platinum - 26 Aug 20

Time to completion - 9 months, 5 days

 

Let’s see if I can get a few more done this fall.

Could we just make that a rule in the event? A game can “only be completed once per year” with the exception of getting a platinum and then doing the dlc, but stuff like KF2, and MC, can we make it so they only count once a year?

Id agree with this. I personally don't like reusing games ive already posted on. Save it as a one liner at the end of your legitimate post if you must. You can't do warframe 31 times.

Ticked another one off in August.

 

Team Sonic Racing completed in 1 year 2 months (21 May 2019)

 

I chose this as the alternative to CTR. It was honestly very enjoyable. Good game play good soundtrack and whilst probably never going to be as good as CTR or Mariokart I liked what it offered. It was challenging as well.

 

Only downfall. Having to rely on AI to win team races. Quite rage inducing at times.

 

Anyways on to the next...

[bruin-rocks]

I’m currently working on Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends, just finished the multiplayer grind... 625 games of just quitting to a menu... what a blast that was. Now to clear up arcade mode and get 1000 KOs. I have three characters left for arcade mode. Hoping for a late August/Early September clearance. 

I’ve been working on my Ultra Rare Trophy count. I’m also at 550, I was below 475 at the start of this year so I’m making good progress. Death Road to Canada really helped with that, same with La-Mulana Ex, Kung Fun Panda is just another game with ultra rares for me to collect while also knocking out backlog.

?

The loading times alone were probably agonizing enough...

The loading times surprisingly weren’t too awful cause I had two PS4’s side to side so they connected quick, the worst part was the random people still playing the game getting in the way of my self boosting... it’s an old, boring, stupid game, as to why people play it, it’s beyond me, but they kept trying to join, it took probably 10+ hours to do all the boosting in total, I started about 3 years ago and made it a third of the way through the online portion then the game became free on PS plus and my boosting went to hell... so I figured servers should be dead enough now to start back up and sure enough, VICTORY!

I still have to get my completion for this month and it is getting close. Right now I am working on Poi, on the new game +. I need to now get to 40 medals to unlock world 4. I think I am around 25ish. Not that it is a hard game just finding time to do it. 

[bruin-rocks]

Game Number 3 of the Month: Kung Fu Panda and the Showdown of Legendary Legends (PS4) - Platinum achieved, first trophy July 17th 2017, completion time 3 years 1 month. Rarity 0.72%(thanks to PS Plus and an extremely long multiplayer grind) I was luckily able to own two PS4’s to make boosting so much easier, it’s your typical arena fighter in the same vein as PlayStaation All Stars. Highly unrecommended.

I feel that's more fitting as a personal rule then one that has to be an actual written rule. Yes, it's disheartening to see the same game used over & over, or obviously seeded titles. Still that's similar to the debate over the worth of a profile with easy games vs. ultra rares, ultimately, an individual's choice. I don't want to put too many restrictions for participants that genuinely may only be able to complete DLC here & there. Keeping up with lists that add trophies is still progress.

[Berendsapje]

Can I join in on the fun too?
