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

[MattbluePT]

I decided to add ps+ to an old account, which I had previously with a friend to share ps+ service, so now I'm trying to complete those games, so this will be good for my backlogged games from then. This was the first one:

 

The Cave PS3 (100%) [7 years, 1 month] 100%: 5.07%

[JayDeLosDioses]

Since gaming sessions for this game either get ignored or abandoned I'll try it here

If anyone is interested in doing all the multiplayer bs in Dead Rising 4, send me a friend request.

 

[TheDragonfly44]

Finally Finished Lego City Undercover. Only took me 1 year and 8 months. Not very fond of it but as I spent more time with it I did start to like it a little more. Think ill be done with lego games for a little while lol. Just happy to be able to scratch that off the backlog

[Kishnabe]

April Update, had to get this done for the streak.

 

I and Me • NA All 13 Trophies 26th April 2021 • Platinum in 2 years, 1 month

[Gretchen27]

Reminder for everyone: the submission form for April will be closed in about a week, on May 3rd. Try & have your completions logged in before then if you can. Link.

 

Ironically, it's looking like I won't get a chance to use the form myself this month. Starting those handful of games for KYC has, as usual, made picking what to play next difficult. Probably didn't help when I recently bought Animal Crossing 

 

I'm chipping my way through LEGO Harry Potter, which is doing its best to be my least favorite LEGO game. Slim chance I'll have it finished by Friday though.

IMO, LEGO games are exactly like the LEGO sets to build. They're getting worse every year with one hidden gem sometimes.

All of the LEGO [Insert Hero Franchise] games are dull, repetitive and grindy.

Star Wars The Complete Saga is still the best game I've played. No voiced characters, no open world grind collectibles.

[Ich1994-1994]

So form is filled but i still wonna post a readable update here so here it comes

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition 51 of 70 Trophies 1st April 2021 • Platinum in 6 years, 1 month

First game if the Month was Dragon AGe InQuisition. i stopped playing because back when i started it i simply had no idea what i am doing and managed to get stuck in a bad situation on the highest diffuculty with no older savefile and lost motivation to go on. at least thats how i remember it but now that  ifinished the game i really dont know how i should have pulled this off^^. Anyway this game is GREAT. i loved it enoug to get motivated to play the other ones in the series on ps3. i like the story, like talking to the people and i also kinda like the open world alot. its in different areas of a bigger map and that gives some varirity on th eopen world without making it endless and hugh. also i really like the dragon fights. if any of you still have this in your backlog dont worry to much about the difficulty. in the end i wnet as a archer with 2 mages and 1 warrior in my party and could win every fight almost with ease. skilled the fighter very very defensivley to get attention had on mage be a healer an one a damage dealer and became a damage dealer myself and it worked fine. in the beginning i sometimes needed to search for possibilities to make progress a little bit but that got less and less over the game. i loved my time with this and for sure will play the dlc one day. ATM just spent to much on ps3 dlc because of the store closure^^

 

Minecraft All 127 Trophies 2nd April 2021 • Completed in 6 years, 7 months

Not alot to say to this, finally done with all minecraft games^^ for this one there is a very helpful gaming session going at the moment

 

Killing Floor 2 All 58 Trophies 3rd April 2021 • Completed in 3 years, 11 months

Not a lot to say here. cleaned up some more trophies here^^

 

Wake-up Club All 12 Trophies 7th April 2021 • Completed in 7 years, 10 months

one of the more frustrating games to not have at 100% in my profile for me. i started it because it was free and seemed easy and then this aweful trophy were 12 humans players have to wake up together stopped me from going on. in the end i found a gaming session and it still took a few days but we mad eit to get that trophy. (Its also buggy btw). after that just some grinding was left  and after 7 years its finally over^^

 

Zombie Army 4: Dead War All 62 Trophies 8th April 2021 • Completed in 11 months, 2 weeks

With season pass 2 on sale my coop group for that game and i deicided to finish it together. we even finished the whole missions instead of just doing the last checkpoint^^ its a little frustrating that there is a season pass 3 comming also but at least the game in coop is not too horrible.

 

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012  All 26 Trophies 11th April 2021 • Completed in 9 years, 9 months

Oh magic the Gathering. how i love this game. i finally got to buying the DLC for this one and in the same go made sure to finish the whole series. the games are much more simply than the game in paper but still fun to play from time to time. i think i liked 2013 the most because it got the coolest cards^^ luckyly i had some people help me on the very short online part of this and the other games

 

Sunflowers All 15 Trophies 11th April 2021 • Completed in 8 years, 5 months

Another game that was free and had trophies which was enough reason for me to start it at that time, but this game is surprisingly fun. with cross breeding its also pretty quick to get all the flowers and thanks to some glitched the legendary flowers are also very easy to get once you have one of them. also the NEAR Trophy is still obtainable. the games doesnt care its something actually gets sent. it just wants you to press the button. had a fun morning with this

 

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers All 21 Trophies 18th April 2021 • Completed in 9 years, 10 months

Another magic the gathering game. the dlc were a little hard to find but for anyone who is still searching: with a german store you can download the trial of this game and then go to the store via the ingame menu. there you can buy everything still. unlock key and all the DLC. mechanicly this game is the worst of the 4 but its still fun. i am just really happy to have this series completed now^^

 

PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap All 16 Trophies 18th April 2021 • Completed in 8 years, 11 months

i dont know why but this game made me rage like nothing in a while. its a little like motorstorm RC but simpler. all you can do is speed up or dont (no brakes) and switch lanes. there is 5 of them and a lot of other cars that you should or should not crash into (depending on game mode) but due to the amount of other cars it often gets a little luck based if gold is even possible in a level. i almost gave up on this just because it was so efficient in making me mad but one morning it somehow worked all of a sudden^^

 

F1 Race Stars All 65 Trophies 20th April 2021 • Completed in 8 years, 4 months

i didnt expect to be able to finish this. but for some unknown reason a friend of mine has his time on the leaderboard. its far far from beeing in the top 1000 but its there and i could beat it very easily. also the trophy to hit 3 people behind the saftycar worked first try on my second console at my girlfriends place. the gold medals in time trial were pretty easy after beating a friend was done. alll in all a very fun game. i can only recommend you to clean it up^^

 

Alice: Madness Returns 45 of 51 Trophies 23rd April 2021 • Platinum in 9 years, 2 months

and last i finally was able to motivate myself to do some collectibles. i just really hate to play after a video guide thats often semi good. the game actaully is pretty good. and has no problematic trophies. the DLC is the whole first game and atm i have no space on my 12gb ps3 to install it so i will do it some day in the future^^ to anyone who doesnt like playing higher difficulties. in this game its enough to play the first and the last checkpoint of every chapter to get the trophy and in most levels the last checkpoint is even after the final boss. so you dont have to do much more than 2 fights for the trophy

 

Edit: Another unexpected completion

 

MotorStorm RC (Vita) All 32 Trophies 28th April 2021 • Completed in 8 years, 2 months

 

Dont know how that happen but i kinda sat there and started some random game and then suddenly finished it^^ it was fun 

 

MotorStorm RC (ps3) All 32 Trophies 30th April 2021 • Completed in 7 years, 5 months

 

Edit2: OK i really didnt expect this because i thought the last trophy of Red Faction battlegrounds seemed to be a big grind. i wanted to start it tomorrow but after beeing done studing i thought i might just check it out tonight already to see what is comming up. Turns out it can be done within about half an hour^^

 

Red Faction: Battlegrounds All 16 Trophies 30th April 2021 • Completed in 10 years, 4 weeks

So another completion for this month^^ The game itself is a topdownshooter mostly designed for online mathces for up to 4 players. there are some training missions offline that you have to get t 3 stars but nothin too hard really. also 2 people with 4 controllers are enough for all online trophies. might even be doable with just 1 console but i am not sure about that. i myself did it with 2 consoles.
Anyway fun little game can only recommend it. it has 2 dlc but they are not too expensive and take only about 30min each to complete.

 

ok now i am really done for this month. dont think i stumble into another completin within the next 1,5h which is all thats left from this month for me^^ Weird month with alot of games that turned out to be much easier done than i expected^^ 

 

 

 

i am pretty happy with my month overall. got alot of stuff done and also finished some multiplayer parts of games were now other trophies are still missing.for now even tho my profiles feels chaotic i feel like i did a big step to my disired completion rate of 90%^^

currently i am working on
red faction battlegrounds (done^^)

 @Gretchen27 my total games removed count wasnt updated in march so with this months 14 games and the 2 from march i am standing at 70 games

[SyIaris]

Form is filled out as well.

 

Sniper Elite 3  + 100%

Reasonably fun, but I'd suggest playing 4 instead. This is missing some nice tweaks to gameplay and added in some bugs instead, though we didn't run into anything terrible. Having to redo a level on the hardest difficulty because progression broke isn't ideal. Satisfies the weird stealth kick I've been on since lateish last year, even just a little cleanup.

No idea why I got the urge to buy the DLC and finish the list, but hey, ~30 GB free for something else. Hitler DLC is absolutely not worth full price.

 

Sniper Elite 3 (100%) [1 year, 1 month] P: 3.94% AR: 1.57%

[Fnee2000]

Sadly my streak has come to an end. For the first time since June 2019, I was not able to clear a game off my unfinished list ? It was a mixture of being way too busy and just a plain lack of motivation to play games this past month.  Will see if I can get back on track but not sure when that will be...

[JayDeLosDioses]

Five down, seven to go.

 

Like last month I've completed my game for the month on the first day. 

Burnout Paradise Remastered [3 years] AR: 5.64%

I'll fill out the form as soon as there's one for May  

 

Before I write a short summary about the game can I just take a moment to say how AMAZING the soundtrack is?

Every time you launch the game you get Paradise City as menu song.

You get Killswitch Engage, Route 66 by Depeche Mode. Only thing I've disabled are the classical songs.

Oh and of course: HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! I don't like your girlfriend! NO WAY! NO WAY! I think you need a new one!

 

But now about the game:

There's two trophies that need at least 8 players. Both of them aren't hard, just annoying.

The other multiplayer trophies can easily be done while waiting for all 8 people, or just with one friend.

Sadly the races aren't hard at all. The other cars scale to your car, at least I think so, everytime I got back to a slower car the NPCs went back too.

But if you can point a car remotely in the right direction there shouldn't be a problem completing all the races.

 

You only need to complete 50% of the game for the platinum. Otherwise the rarity would be much lower I guess.

As I said, it's not hard, but gets repetitive really fast.

There's only 5 types of events.

Normal races,

Stunt runs

Road Rage

Marked Man

Time Trials.

There is one challenge in all of them. Finding the way.

There's no GPS in events and freeplay. You can't mark a destination either.

The only way to tell where to go in events is to check your cars indicators when reaching a crossroad.

 

According to my PS5 it took 35h to get the platinum.

Plat difficulty: 3 / 10

Enjoyment:    7 / 10

Soundtrack  11 / 10

i can only agree. the original i played alot on my friends xbox and it was one of my first games when i finally got my own ps3. back in the day i even finished all the online challanges for that p12 diamond. sadly the online progress is saved local i and lost my savefile at one point and in the remastered i never found enough players to finish all the challanges. 
Anyway soundtrack is awesome!!

[AUSTRALIANDJ]

I forgot the date and just remembered to post. Finished this like 2 weeks ago.???

 

But my monthly game was a simple game that stayed around way too long, simply because I didn't like it. I am a school teacher so I get roped into spelling games. But the deatomiser trophy was just dumb and annoying.

Bit of a dark game - a good platformer but I just didn't love it.

Hey, congratulations on the streak, I think you might have the longest streak in the event, don’t beat yourself up though, I wasn’t able to complete a game for April either, for pretty much the same reasons, life has been busy so many things are happening in my life at once I just didn’t have time to get into my games, my desire to play games has been low since the beginning of the year, I was hoping I could still keep a game a month, but I failed my own challenge, my PS3 cant connect to the internet anymore for some reason so all those backlog games are locked out now, and I’ve been playing Sonic Racing Transformed on Vita, I’m loving it, but I only do a couple races a day so it’s slow progress, and I’ll hopefully finish Player Unknown Battlegrounds but that game is a huge drag.

Gravity Rush All 64 Trophies 2nd May 2021 • Completed in 7 years, 4 months

 

 

Really wanted to finish this as a second game for April but yeah. 

At least one down for May. 

As much as I love this game I dislike the vita version for the controls and framerate drops. 

 

Might get Gravity Rush 2 done this month as well.

Tried everything, my PS3 was a day one purchase, so it’s probably about time I pack her away anyway. Ethernet cable won’t work, tried restarting the router, tried resetting PS3 to factory settings. You name it, I’ve tried it.

Alright, first try at using the form responses to make this summary. I have not looked at a single profile, which saves unbelievable time, but we’ll see if everything is here.

 

Sign-ups are still closed. I didn’t have the free time last month to work on the OP. & tomorrow marks 3 years hosting this event, so I’d like to get caught back up ASAP. Maybe I’ll be able to work on it this weekend.

 

@JayDeLosDioses

Yeah, this LEGO game is a real dud for me. Most of the Vita ones I played through were great for a weekend, but the little puzzles in HP are dull. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever bother with the second part.

 

@Ich1994-1994

Removed count fixed.

 

Congrats platting DA: Inquisition! I hope you end up enjoying Origins just as much. I couldn’t guess the hours I’ve spent playing it; I can tell you I’ve used every available save slot, then overwrote a bunch for all the times I went for a fresh playthrough.  

 

@Fnee2000 & @bruin-rocks

Don’t be too hard on yourselves. Keep playing for fun, & eventually, some of those games may end up in the backlog naturally. Not like those already completed numbers can go down

@Gretchen27

Ehh, couldn't really find time to update and did not saw your 'deadline' earlier.

Completed 3 games, if it's too late its too late but I will at the very least post them here:

 

Driveclub All 128 Trophies 20th April 2021 • Completed in 1 year, 2 months

I'm still amazed how great this game looks and plays. One of the highlights of the generation for me, too bad Sony killed both the franchise and the studio.

 

Driveclub Bikes All 51 Trophies 27th April 2021 • Completed in 1 year, 2 months

Gameplay wise it's not as good as a cars game. Bikes look great but it's visible driving model was made for cars. Still a great game to play and very glad I finished it.

 

Street Fighter 3: Online Edition All 12 Trophies 28th April 2021 • Completed in 3 years, 10 months

Just a classic I bought on one of the sales years ago. Looks quite dated so it's more of a fan service than a game for everyone. I appreciate how different the game feels from rest of the franchise. Glad to have it done.

Hey there!  Sorry for the lack of updates but I got a platinum for May:

 

Need for Speed: Most Wanted 54 of 61 Trophies 6th May 2021 • Platinum in 4 years, 4 months

 

I love this game but I doubt I will be able to 100% the DLC trophies just because of the multiplayer time commitment (and I would need 6 other players and the game is dead).  Still, I really enjoy this game and I will still try my best to finish it.

There's a gaming session for dlc now, maybe try joining.

And yep, that's a really good game. I have Vita version to finish (thankfully no dlcs there)

[Aviditas90]

Warhammer: Chaosbane All 44 Trophies 14th May 2021 • Platinum in 1 year, 11 months

 

 

So I was in a "Diablo" mood and remembered this game. 

It was okayish. First playtrough was fun but skipped the rest with the 2 accounts/controller method since the characters and skills felt really underwhelming. 

Might have never finished it if I had to do 4 more runs legit since I really disliked all characters expect the archer. 

But her voice acting was so terrible that I had to mute it. 

 

Since I am into Warhammer the lore was a plus point to me but that's about it. 

 

Might start working on Titan Quest for more Diablo feeling. 

 

And yes... I still have to finish the Ps3 version of Diablo 3 but damn I hate the classic Diablo 3 without the Expansion. 

[SyIaris]

Watch_Dogs 2

Got the urge to at least give the multiplayer a try, wasn't as bad as I expected - only took about an hour to get the last three trophies, and only got killed a couple times by pairs. May try and boost the last DLC trophy if my internet's ever reliable again, but eh.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom All 33 Trophies 17th May 2021 • Platinum in 10 months, 1 week

 

 

Another one done.

Never played the original one but had fun with this Remaster. 

Not really much to say about it. 

It's easy, fun and fast. 

Never watched the TV show either so it didn't fel that special for me. 

 

Really wanted to finish some more games this month since we're getting cats at the end of this month so I'm not really sure how much "gaming time" I'll have the first few weeks with the kittys. 

 

So i'll prepare a game for next month to keep the streak going. Guess it'll be far cry new dawn or j-stars victory vs+ (but damn this game gets boring really fast). 

 

Also i really wanna jump into a series of games. Thinking about Resident Evil or Uncharted since i have most of the games in my backlog or at least own them but never earned a trophy which kinda is a shame.

Those are tough to choose between, both series are great for different reasons. I'd put a vote down to suggest Lost Legacy if you end up playing Uncharted; or, one of the Revelations games for Resident Evil. 

 

& who knows, maybe the kitties will make great gaming buddies ?
