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

[Summers_day122]

Here's my game for the streak: 

 

Dead By Daylight  124 of 125 Trophies  25th July 2023 • Platinum in 2 years, 8 months

 

I'm back earning the platinum for the PS4 version, and while I already have the PS5 version platinum, at the time I earned the majority of the trophies here there was no crossover with PS5 progress, or limited crossover. All of which is to say that the trophies I consider to be some of the hardest - killer adepts, where you have to win with the limited resource of the perks that come with each killer - had to be done all over again. This is along with a substantial grind to unlock other trophies. Doesn't matter though as I'll probably be playing this game until it dies.

 

and a bonus game:

 

The Sims 4  All 51 Trophies  3rd July 2023 • Platinum in 3 years, 3 months

 

Playing the sims was fun for many hours, but there comes a point when you notice just how much content is locked behind DLC which is overpriced, even when it goes on sale (shakes fist at EA). After that it's a slow-ish grind through the remainder of the trophies. There is a method using the gallery that allows you to unlock all the trophies in the game that I did use for some of the trickier trophies to set up - surprisingly not for the most RNG dependent trophy requiring your sim to give birth to triplets which happened completed unintentionally. Given that the gallery method for trophy unlocking exists, I'm surprised that the platinum is still very rare, and has been for years.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale All 34 Trophies 28th July 2023 • Platinum in 9 months, 2 weeks

One completion for July, but I’m getting to the end of a few more games ready for August and September. Chicory was a fun game, I’d suggest taking your time as there’s a lot to draw and colour in, even if you’re just going for the trophies. I coloured in most of the map, but got a bit tired in the art classes which I left until the end, meaning I had about 18 pictures to draw in a row…some of the feeling pictures might have just been blobs of colour
 

I was hoping to get Catherine: Full Body done too, but unfortunately I ran out of time. It’s the Summer holidays and my 6 year old is scared of some of the blocks, so I’ll get back to it in September

My gaming time has been limited lately, as in one of periods of not really being into it too much, but still managed to get a couple rarities. 

 

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier All 60 Trophies 16th July 2023 • Completed in 10 years, 6 months

 

Great Game, Managed to get a big group together for the MP a couple years back and really enjoyed it, but tend to enjoy most of the Tom Clancy games. This was no exception with lots of replayability, even managed to get the better half to do the coop with me.

 

James Bond 007: Blood Stone All 51 Trophies 11th July 2023 • Platinum in 12 years, 6 months

 

Might not be the most popular opinion, but Daniel Craig is my favourite Bond (might be something to do with my age), the MP was pretty poor from what I remember but quite like going back and reliving the movie. 

 

Minecraft • Set 2 All 14 Trophies 20th July 2023 • Completed in 1 year, 1 month

 

Does this even count? I wish they would stop bring out trophies for this, much preferred the game when it first came out and was simple, much like Lego.

I'm jealous of this 100%. I got locked out due to the broken leader board. But in reality, I probably never would have managed that racing trophy through the docks. Great work!

Yeah I just managed to get it all done near release I think, I never really understood the leaderboard issue as seen people say the servers were still up for a while

[AUSTRALIANDJ]

Random appearance from me after bowing out of streak challenges. Just had a few months gaming with games that were fresh, can't really attack backlog. But the tony hawks grind was significant and it hung around for 6 months so here it is.

 

Great game in essence from back in the day, but all trophy work is done well before the grind is even 60% done so the rest is utter pain. My fingers needed day breaks from spamming the same buttons.

 

 

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

All 37 Trophies

17th July 2023 • Platinum in 11 months, 2 weeks 3.50%

 

Cheers everyone and hope youre getting those backlogs down!

I have one for July, ironically completed on my birthday.

 

Worse Than Death All 31 Trophies 24th July 2023 • Platinum in 6 months, 2 weeks

 

Been playing games from my PS3 more lately, I think I have earned more trophies on there than I have in 2 years.

Hopefully a PS3 backlog game will be on here for August.

@AUSTRALIANDJ nice to see you pop up again, and congrats on the completion! I was having a wee look at your profile, and surely Gems of War also counts as a July completion?

Apotheon All 31 Trophies 12th August 2023 • Platinum in 8 years, 6 months    Turns out this Game was not bad at all. It had some realy nice Boss Battles and Gameplay Mechanics.

[Fanatixa1]

Hogwarts Legacy All 46 Trophies 11th August 2023 • Platinum in 6 months, 2 days

 

First completion for this month. Glad it's finally done. 

[Psy-Tychist]

Two games finished this month so far:

 

Catie in MeowmeowLand • EU All 14 Trophies 13th August 2023 • Platinum in 10 months, 3 weeks

 

Just had to finish the Speedrun and eventually got there. I am the slowest achiever of the Platinum but there are only 16 achievers.

 

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 56 of 68 Trophies 5th August 2023 • Platinum in 6 years, 4 months

 

I have finally finished the Uncharted numbered series with this. Looks gorgeous and a fitting end to Nathan Drake and his story.

Yeah, I sort of agree with that sentiment - I stupidly bought the games and didn't realize that I'll never 100% it because they KEEP ADDING MORE CONTENT.

[Gretchen27]

Apologizes for the delay, real life either drains my energy or time at the moment.

[damage_6-9]

Finally popped one for August, ( #2,900) am off to Bali for a couple of weeks on Friday, so this is probably it for the month

 

Aborigenus • AS

All 12 Trophies 20th August 2023 • Platinum in 1 year, 6 months

 

 

[Fanatixa1]

One more completion for me. I finished the DLC for Powerwash simulator. 
 

PowerWash Simulator All 51 Trophies 18th August 2023 • Completed in 6 months, 2 weeks

[Ich1994-1994]

Little written Update from my side since i didnt really do one in a while 
July and August have been quiet productive thus far

 

Destiny 2 All 24 Trophies 11th July 2023 • Completed in 5 years, 10 months

In July i finished Destiny 2 DLC. i was a bit intimidated by the triumph seal for a while and i feel like its quiet impossible to get back into this game without someone helping you who is an active player but on this attempt i finally managed to orient myself in the game an dfigure out what actually was part of this DLC and had to be done. The guide say the gambit seal is the best one but i final the forgotten city one much easier. it takes 6 weeks at least but can be done with just a few h per week which i usually did right on the evening of the weekly reset. in the end i had fun with the game but no itention to get back to it without more trophies (and i hope no more get released)

 

Fort Defense • EU All 10 Trophies 23rd July 2023 • Completed in 9 years, 6 months

I generelly like to player tower defenders and this is an ok and relativley short one. you basically just need to 3 star every map but there is a limited number of barrels you can get that i spend to much of before the last level where you can buy an extra tower slot. without that slot i was unable to 3 star the mission so i basically had to start the whole game over. in the end after i finally motivated myself to do that it took just a day to get the game from 0 to 100% and with teh extra tower slot it was also super easy.

 

Men's Room Mayhem All 14 Trophies 24th July 2023 • Completed in 10 years, 2 months

one of the early vita psplus game. i was just missing the very last challange. i never managed to do it and this time after retrying i finally realised that the german translation is wrong in a way so that "near misses" and "close calls" to flipped in the discription of the challange. so i tried to get near misses while needing close calls for the challange. with that information i was finally able to finish this last trophy

 

SteamWorld Dig All 14 Trophies 25th July 2023 • Completed in 9 years, 4 months

This is a truely great game. al i was missing was the 100% speedrun trophy. i had an old file where i was about 3 minutes to slow.... Anyway with the help of a speedrunning video of the game where i really only managed to pull off one of the shown tricks i managed to get a time about 1h below the target. i might actually do the second game as well now.

 

 

Tales from Space: About a Blob All 13 Trophies 6th August 2023 • Completed in 11 years, 9 months

Another pretty cool game that i played most of in local coop. alot of the collectibles are a bit easier with 2 players since you can jump of of each others head with gives you extra attempts on semi missable collectibles. the speed challanges where tough until i realized that collecting the blob friend collectibles gives you alot of extra time which made the remaining levels alot easier. i would probabl do it again.

 

Altered Beast All 12 Trophies 6th August 2023 • Completed in 11 years, 10 months

another game that got significantly easier buy using coop. nothing much to say here. without nostalgia its really not that great to play.

 

Golden Axe All 12 Trophies 12th August 2023 • Completed in 12 years, 1 month

similar to altered beast. coop made things a lot easier. i guess i am too young to enjoy these kind of games on ps3 but i got them from psplus and started them 12 years ago. finishing them now is alright.

 

 

Currently i am working on cuphead. i already got the platinum and now play the DLC that i am also almost done with and at the same time i play the horizon forbidden west DLC so clean 2 more game up from the backlog. i also finally got the last zombie trophy in black ops 2 and play some assassins creed valhalla from time to time. so still a few quiet long project ahead. but it felt very good to get some shorter stuff done in between and see some more progress on the unfinished games stat.

thats all from me happy hunting to all of you

I completed AI: The Somnium Files at 1 year, 8 months. 

 

A unique story driven game I would highly recommend anyone who likes mysteries give a shot. This quirky game peaked my interest from a trailer after I can't even remember what browsing rabbit hole I went down. Having high hopes for it, I tracked down the collector's edition off of ebay (yes, I took that much of a gamble I'd like it). 

 

Needless to say, I'm happy to have that edition in with my collection. I even bought another digital copy of the game for my Switch. It's well worth it for replays. Plus, I feel the handheld version will make it easier to play every option in snatches of time. Because I may have the platinum now, but that does not mean I chose every option, yet. 

 

AI pans out based on your choices. The story sees you playing as Date, a special Detective working a string of murders. He's a special kind of Detective not because he has an AI partner that doubles as his eyeball (she's called Aiba), but because of the unique way they interview people. They don't just talk to people, they psync with their subconscious & view their dreams. Dreams that are disjointed fragments of their memories, it's not the whole truth, but it's close enough to keep a case going. 

 

I won't get into the story for heavy spoiler reasons (seriously, there are many outcomes). I'll say though, the story is as dark & twisted as it is funny. It pulls both spectrums off well, & all the characters I thought were well created. 

& as you can probably guess, the sequel's special edition is already in my collection, & I can finally start that up. 

 

Next for the backlog... maybe Root Double. I take it with me to the gym to read on the stationary bike, but it's a long story. I might be closing in on finishing side 2 of 4. & then I'll have to go back for all endings. 

 

I'll also be working on other story driven games from the backlog like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, The Quarry, or Detroit: Become Human (looking for this to be my 150th platinum).
