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

A bit of both honestly. I'm still missing gear and I can't find it. I also can't find a way to buy or craft what I'm missing, so it's just luck?

Collectibles are the worst kind I've seen in a video game so far. If the internet is right, and it always is , other people in a random lobby can steal them from you. If they even spawn in the first place that is.

It’s best to find a farmroute and then just reload the world and go throught it again and again. The game is absolute hell

Agreed, but as long as I still need two pieces of Intercepter gear and god knows how much Ranger gear I'm missing I'm happy with getting whatever I can grab on my way through missions, at least I've hit level 30 yesterday so I can use my embers and coins and try my luck in the tomb.

 

Most of the time when thinking about why a decision was made in a meeting during developement I can kinda come up with a reasonable idea why someone would think idea XY would be a nice touch and could play out well in the finished product.

But then there's RNG collectibles and I can't wrap my head around it, You know the meme with the guy getting thrown out of a window for suggestion something? Those collectibles would be an idea of the other two persons in that meme, while a better idea was thrown out.

I'll take it... only because it is a separate trophy list from the main game. 

 

[JayDeLosDioses]

Ladies, gentlemen and everybody else - I've completed Anthem! 

 

First of all - the good things:

• Flying around in your javelin is quite cool
• Guns are okay, they sound nice.

Now the things that ruined my experience with the game:

• To start the game I had to open like a billion ports, because otherwise it would just boot me from the server every other minute
• I had to play the whole story twice, because two objectives in the Sentinel and Freelancer challenges didn't unlock. Wanna take a guess which? Correct, both MANDATORY quests you need to progress the story. 
• All javelins feel pretty much the same, as long as your not playing on anything higher than hard there's no reason at all to ever switch. 
• The hub world is boring af, you're on your own, there's no interaction with anyone other than NPCs
• Having to find gear / weapons before you can even craft the most basic gear without any additional effects is time consuming and pretty much useless. All it does is annoy the player.
• Waiting for a collectible to spawn. Why would you ever think that making collectibles RNG related would be good? AND WHY DO YOU ADD 300 OF THEM?
• Anthem has one of the worst wikis for looking up quests, there's like no information when a quests unlocks, all it says it that the previous side quest must be completed, duh. But no mention of required main story progress - and the guide here also isn't the best imo (but most of the guides on PSNP aren't useful if you're looking for a specific trophy honestly)
• The story is so bad, it's good again. It's like an accident, you know it's wrong to look, but you can't look away. 
• Spoiler

  • THE FINAL BOSS ALSO DOESN'T DROP ANY LOOT IN A LOOTER SHOOTER - LIKE WTF?

Overall the game just doesn't make want to ever buy or even play a BioWare game again, I know they've made Dragon Age and Mass Effect, I've never played them and I honestly don't want to try them after that hot pile of garbage I was playing. Possibly the worst first experience I had with a game studio so far. And I'm pretty much buying all Ratalaika games the day they are released - I've seen some questionable indie games  

 

Well anyways, that's 4 / 12 done for the year, and 9 / 50 counting games I can't add to the challenge.

SteinsGate:0 might be next. I really want to play Final Fantasy 12 but I know that I can't finish it in three weeks, so before it comes out of the backlog pile just to go back in - it just sinks deeper into the void.

If you want you can check out my backlog list if you're interested in what I want to try and finish this year. I also need inspiration for the six open spots, so feel free to leave a comment in the empty spaces (or about any other game if you have some usefuls hints)

 

EDIT: Well, that's SteinsGate of the list. Skipped through it, story didn't really connect with me. Can't like them all I guess.

After 2 very long years I've finally completed MediEvil. I just couldn't find the motivation to pick it up to play or play more than one level at a time. Overall I didn't like the game too much, and that really showed, because it should not have taken me over 2 years to complete a game with such an easy and rather fast plat. I'm just glad that I completed it now, but I have to say that the little goody you got for collecting all the lost souls was a really neat idea.

 

I'm absolutely certain that I won't be able to complete any more games from my backlog this month. Especially since the new Pokémon game is coming out tomorrow and I'll probably invest most of my time into this game for the next few weeks.

 

I haven't completely mapped out which games I want to finish this year, since there are so many that qualify and most of them have really long/high completion times/difficulties. I'm still trying to get enough points from the Daily Challenges in Rayman Legends and I have so many Multiplayer/Online based games like Destiny and The Division that I'd really like to finish up before the player base is completely dead. Another game I'm hoping to finish later this year is World of Final Fantasy, so I think I'll take some time each week to make some more progress in this game, since it's sitting at just 10% right now. 

 

For February I'm planning to complete Tomb Raider: Underworld while simultaneously chipping away at some bigger games. (:

[Zbir_Vladimir]

Resistance: Burning Skies All 25 Trophies 27th January 2022 • Platinum in 10 months, 1 week

 

To be fair I popped it just to have something on the list for January.

I'm all in in Destiny 2 now and that will stay like that for a time being.

Oh, and dailies on Rayman Vita, they also take time due to low playerbase, but its going decently good. Should finish this one before 6 months mark.

 

As for the finished game it was... ok/average.

Alright for playing and even enjoyable a bit, just not exactly a quality one would expect from Resistance series game.

 

[Sylvanticore]

Greetings all

 

I come to you in need of guidance, if you take a look at my account I am sure you'll see many many games that need to be completed, ranging from games that require maybe a few trophies to games like Metal Wolf Chaos XD and Watch Dogs that have only 1 trophy collected in total. The problem I am having at this current point in time is I find it increasing hard to pick a game and sit down to play it for more than a few minutes, let alone hours so I want some help picking games I have in my collection that people feel I should work on for the coming months.

 

I already picked a handful of games that count towards the backlog event such as: 

A Hat in Time

Amnesia Collection

Batman: Arkham City

Cat Quest II

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

Darksiders

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Horizon Zero Dawn

Kingdom Hearts

Monster Hunter World

Murdered: Soul Suspect

PC Building Simulator

Rogue Trooper Redux

SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics

Sonic Mania

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Terminator: Resistance Enhanced  (Not totally sure if this one would count as it's just the dlc that needs to be finished to 100% this)

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

 

Those are the ones I currently have downloaded onto my PS5 at the moment but actually sitting down to play them is what gets me, if you saw this list I put forward now and had to finish one which would it be? (also suggestions of games in my library to finish soon would be nice as well)

 

Thank you.

 From your list (and games I've played aswell) I´ve enjoyed the most. Cat Quest and Murdered Soul Suspect aren't too long or hard either, just a few tricky collectibles in the second one.

 

I think Bugsnax is an underrated game. I had a lot of fun playing it. Sure, it's not up there with the best games, but a solid 7/10 for enjoyment imo.

Sekiro is always worth playing, took me a while to get into the deflecting coming from Dark Souls, but once you get it, the game is a lot of fun. And it's beautiful from start to finish, amazing landscapes. (Same for Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, but I'm a FromSoftware fanboy)

 

Can't comment on the other unfished games, haven't played most of them or didn't like them

Having just had a great time with Cat Quest II, I also think you should play this one (for the puns alone). I also think Bugsnax is underrated, agree it's a great game and I think it's got a good and enjoyable trophy list.

These two would be other potentials for me as well, because I went back to finish Frozen Wilds DLC this month and honestly I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the combat in HZD. Am now early on in ultra hard new game + and it's not too bad so far.

And for Tomb Raider, I guess I would recommend starting the grind to Multiplayer Level 60 soon if you haven't already, because although the solo method to get there is effective, I can't stand doing it for much more than an hour at a time ?

@Sylvanticore

 

Will be happy to help with Rogue Trooper & Tomb Raider

[Sylvanticore]

Thanks for the responses, I'll go through the short ones people suggested, @damage_6-9 when I get round to them I will message you

 

So I went and got Terminator Reistsance Enchanced out of the way today, it is nowback to being 100% however I am unsure if it counts and I kind of need @Gretchen27 to confirm if it's allowed or not, see the reason I ask is because when I played it originally 8 months ago I got the platinum in 1 day and 6 hours, DLC came out a while ago and I only got it today and took me around 3 hours to complete. Because of the DLC though the game is now got a 100% marker and because of the space of time between it now has the 100% at being over 8 months. Does it count at all? I'll let you decide and will wait for your answer before putting it on the form.

 

Terminator: Resistance Enhanced

Time to 100%: 8 months, 1 week, 1 day

If you are having trouble sitting down and committing time to a game I'd say start with something easy to get the ball rolling. Like others have already said, I'd start with these two. Once you've sat down and popped a few plats, tackling the longer games won't feel as daunting. 

[Gretchen27]

Peeps, it happened! I've finished a backlog game 

Feeding Frenzy 2 has been completed after 6 months, 2 weeks. It's a non-platinum PS3 game, that's rare for me to complete. & yes, as with the recurring theme here lately, it shouldn't have taken me this long. I was playing it off & on couch coop, which with 60 levels did actually take awhile to beat. We had some good laughs along the way. Though I wouldn't recommend this game for solo players as cleaning up was boring & glitchy. 

 

Currently, I'm bouncing between visual novels on my Vita & Switch (one on here has been stealing most of my time & I did pick up today the new Pokémon game). I'll try to finish Muv-Luv soon, though February's game is probably going to be another close one with Vita Pets. There's a lot of back tracking to do before I can figure out the collectibles I missed. & it's slow traversing the map...

 

@Sylvanticore

Terminator counts. It happens plenty a game comes out with DLC after people have had time to earn the platinum. 

 

 

In the spoiler below are the Form submissions for January (ignore the terrible formatting, its the best that can be done from a phone). I'm on vacation next week for my birthday, so I'll update the usual stuff & add people for the challenge when I get back.

Nice job! I will put my games into the form later today or tomorrow

[ninjamonkee9900]

Horizon Zero Dawn All 79 Trophies 29th January 2022 • Completed in 4 years, 1 month

 

Like so many other players, I wanted to get back to this before Forbidden West. I Platinumed Horizon Zero Dawn several years ago, but never completed the DLC or 100%. Love the game, and was very fun to play through again.

 

I finished two games on my backlog this month, and I am looking forward to next month!

[hayesb]

Managed to complete 2 more games and reach some milestones for myself! Batman Arkham City Plat and 100%; as well as PGA Tour 2K21 as my 60th plat, with the plat landing as my 5000th trophy!

 

Batman: Arkham City All 71 Trophies 29th January 2022 • Completed in 7 years, 4 months Plat Rarity: 4.48% ; AR: 0.90%

 

 

PGA Tour 2K21 All 30 Trophies 30th January 2022 • Platinum in 8 months, 5 hours Plat Rarity: 9.82%

[be_minor]

Happy to have the platinum for this one finally. I wasn't sure I'd ever be down for finishing the game on nightmare, but playing Bloodborne recently has made me more confident with difficulty. I plan to 100% the game at some point, but it requires finishing the end game DLC and at least one more partial playthrough, and I'm a little dragon-aged out at the moment. Fingers crossed I can keep the backlog streak going this year for the first time!

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition 63 of 70 Trophies 30th January 2022 • Platinum in 5 years, 10 months

[MattbluePT]

Completed a game that's been on my backlog for a long time. Decided to go on and bought the Reloaded Edition and ended up repeating almost all the career, as the save file was different from the save I had just to get the Koenisseg Agera just for one DLC trophy. But now I'm finally done with it. Ended up enjoying the game more than I thought, although in the end it was more of a boring and repetitive task.

 

Grid 2 All 61 Trophies 31st January 2022 • Completed in 6 years, 2 months

[SyIaris]

Well, this post is rather overdue...

Thanks for the extra motivation last year, @Gretchen27 !

 

Finished Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands for January, and happy to have it crossed off. No particular plans for this month.

 

While I still have quite a few unfinished games on my profile (80 at the start of the year), there's a pretty good number that are long, plats I don't care to try for, or have little interest in - while I'll make an attempt at another 12 streak, I'll be pretty happy if I can get a decent number of them to "good enough".

Did make it to my long-attempted goal of 80% profile completion late last year! This topic and a general push not to leave stuff halfway finally did it~

Have a quiet little goal of trying to get under 2,000 unearned and keep it over 80% this year. Nothing fancy, I'm pretty content after hitting the main one I've been failing for years.
