You've been updated.

 

I too am hyped for Project Z. I watched the trailer last night, and it seems like my cup of tea based on the little that was revealed.

So, I did mention procrastination, right?  Anyway, I just got the platinum for my first game in this event, Forced!  It has a nice looking platinum image too!

 

1Lac0002.png

 

The enemies in this game, however, can go die in a fire.  I've never seen so many jerks.  In most games, the enemies just try to kill you and OK, that's fair.  But these guys swarm you, restrict your movement, knock you down etc.  It can get very annoying in the harder trials when going for the challenges.

 

I'm glad I pushed through the annoyance and difficulty.  I played this game for a couple days at the end of October, completed a few more challenges without any trophies to show for it and just recently decided to try to make the final push for the platinum.  I'm pretty sure I was fueled mostly by spite at the end!  ;)

 

This is certainly a game that started out looking like a good challenge, but just got more and more annoying as I got closer to the platinum.  I'm the slowest achiever of the platinum.  At least, that's something.  :)

I just got a second one, Furi.  That's probably it for me for a little while at least.  I would like to try for some of the other ones on my list before the event is over, though.

 

1L12f9a7.png

 

Furi is a good game, but it had been a while since I had last played it, so I figured it would be rather difficult to start it back up at the hardest difficulty (since that was all I needed for the platinum).  It certainly was.  I had to get beaten again and again until I learned the bosses' patterns and get the timing on blocks, but I made it.  I'm glad this event gave me a little more incentive to get back into this.

It's been a while, 9 months into the event to be precise.

 

I wonder who is still kicking on with what they started...

@Sardavanua Getting to the end of Torment: Tides of Numenera, is it any good?

@Leon Castle Congrats on completing Tales of Hearts R, up to 4 games from your list finished, tis going good.

@Edunstar84 Congrats on finishing Tales of Zestiria, hopefully still an enjoyable part of the Tales series.

@Giulian_Steel Nearly finished LittleBigPlanet2, up to 3 finished games nearly. 

 

Under 3 months left, has everyone forgotten this exists?

Well, I'm still trying to finish my games.

Just need 1 more playtrough for the Torment ToN plat. The game is a blast! But I'm a sucker for Oldschool RPGs anyways, so yeah maybe it's just me:dance:

 

Currently I'm taking a break tho, to play some Path of Exile.

 

Gave up on Darkest Dungeon quite some time ago, can't stand the RNG...

 

Next game after ToN will be Pillars of Eternity.

I'm still going and have been thinking about this lately.  The last 7 trophies I've gotten have been in games from this event (4 from Trackmania Turbo and 3 from Reus).  It's been slow going with these, but right now my main goal is to push for the Reus platinum.

 

It's a tough and annoying game in several ways, but the most annoying issue is all of the crashing that can happen in the longer games...  The autosaves aren't that frequent, so it's possible to lose a decent chunk of time if you're not manually saving often...  And even if you do have a recent save from right before the crash, you'll just crash it again if you make the same moves.  So, you've got to do things at least slightly differently than you originally wanted...  Ugh.  I think if I can get through all the crashing to get everything done there, I'll be able to push through the difficulty of the 1-hour challenge trophies.  At least it doesn't seem to crash much at those lengths.  That's the plan at least.  We'll see.

 

Anyway, this was a nice opportunity to vent I guess.  ;)

With just over a month left on this event, I thought I would do a little rundown to show how the participants are doing and to ask if there was anything that would make the event better if it was to be done again.

 

So, to the completed games!

Congrats to the 24 completed games so far, many of them are on the UR end of the spectrum.

I'm thinking of doing a variation of this event, but more on the idea of completing games that are sitting at a high percentage but not Platinumed or 100% to get that push to get back to the games that got away. Just looking for input :)

With Tales of Vesperia plat. I have cleared the event... I think. Might get DB Fighterz plat too before the deadline as the Zeni I miss is not much as it's much higher then I remember.

I broke my limit with clearing all 3 Crash Bandicoot games

1L25a470.png1Le6b57f.png1L2dc066.png

With DB Fighterz, I'm going to wait for the log in zeni being much higher than the one I got after returning to the game in April.

                                                                                                                Two more past month, finally! 

Little Big Planet 2: Levels are easier in the sequel, i had trouble acing only two of them. On the other hand the Community aspect takes longer and is slow to progress. 24 hours in Create Mode was certainly a unique experience, because i did it normally while watching other things.
 

Mass Effect: Lots of patience for this one, and i knew that i had to do another run just because of Liara. The higher difficulties are not remotely scary with the gear / levels carrying over. It can be tiresome doing the same missions over and over for the affinity trophies, but if you focus early as possible for a character, by the time you complete both Noveria and Feros you should be done and may speedrun from Virmire onwards.
 

As for the lack of updates, my system stopped reading discs mid-January, is not a cheap fix, and despite effectively trying to solve in the following months, couldn't do it, and it's not a priority anymore with other things going on in my life. So, from the challenge, i have Catherine and Batman: Arkham Asylum in digital format, and i hope to get both done until August.

One year ago today, I set off on a noble quest to plat ten of the hardest games I've ever come across (and Mirror's Edge). Some were tedious. Some were outright absurd. But I had hope, determination, and quite the reckless nature. I gathered allies across the forums, encouraging them to tackle their greatest trophy feats as well. An epic battle was about to unfold,

Spoiler

AND I DROPPED THE BALL HARD!

 

But seriously guys, I'm sorry for just up and abandoning this thread only a few months into the challenge. I took a few weeks off the forums a while back to focus on life stuff, and by the time I came back, I just wasn't super into this idea anymore. I know that's no excuse, and I'm sorry. Thanks for @Psy-Tychist for picking up the pieces while I was gone.

 

I'm talking like this event is over, but there's still just under three weeks left to SURPASS YOUR LIMITS! Congrats to @Leon Castle for already finishing the challenge some time ago. As promised, you will get your "stellar badge" when the event ends on August 5th. For those who are close, don't stop now! If you still haven't gotten a single plat off your list yet, no worries. It's never too late to start!
