Played through Guacamelee! 2 after it had a discount and enjoyed it as much as the first game. 

It's a really good series with plenty of self-aware humour and references to keep you amused while smashing skeletons.

 

Am still looking for a Speed Run and an MP game to add to the list, does anyone have any opinions or options?

Second game complete - Kingdom Hearts 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage.  This now means I've finished all of the Kingdom Hearts games and just need to wait until I can collect my pre-order of Kingdom Hearts 3 ^_^

 

After being disappointed with Dream Drop Distance;  A Fragmentary Passage really gave me a renewed sense of excitement for Kingdom Hearts 3.  It plays really well and looks incredible.  The game in itself is only 3 hours long with watching all the cutscenes, but it has a number of objectives you need to complete, some of which require additional playthroughs.  There are objectives for not taking a hit during certain boss fights, which were surprisingly very easy after I'd heard so much about how difficult they were.  Critical mode was very unforgiving though and I'd even go as far as saying it's the hardest Critical mode out of all the games so far, however there were little tricks that made the bosses easier that you could use to skip their desperation moves.

 

I figure I'm going to change some of my list around soon, as I know I won't be able to complete everything I have listed in the time frame.

Finished the Bioshock DLC for the Speedrun category and started Zombeer for the Unpopular. I don't know when or how I got that game but it is pretty terrible.

 

Curious how hard you found those trophies? That was my original Speedrun plan, but I keep changing it :P

They're not bad at all. I watched a few videos to get an idea of the paths to take and get some tips.

 

I'll be honest though, I used the glitch on Worlds of Hurt and played through on easy. Even doing that I finished at just over 13 minutes so it takes a little planning to make the time for the trophy. I got it legit on the PS3 version so I don't feel too bad for taking the easy out on the remaster.

 

The other two are pretty simple once you know what to do. I got both within the first couple of tries.

 

The other trophies aren't very difficult either. Again I'd recommend checking videos for the trickier ones.

That's You! is finally done. Good lord, those 30 games took forever, and I nearly made my PC explode through running 6 android emulators at once, but I did it! And now I never need to hear that announcer's shitty voice ever again.

Not sure what's up next. Maybe Jazzpunk. God knows I need a break from that mindless clicking, and Jazzpunk is hilarious.

Started playing Cartoon Network Battle Crashers and I've managed all but one trophy, Best Friend Forever, which meets the criteria for the MP category . Going to have my daughter help me with it.

Just need to figure out what to do for peripherals and I may actually get all ten.

Aaaand that's Jazzpunk down too, qualifying me for the badge! That was even faster than I remember doing it the first time, haha. Glad I played it again though, that game's funny as hell.

Next I think will be Dead Space: Extraction. I've heard decent things about it, so maybe it'll be good! I enjoyed Ignition and the first game at any rate, though I hear it's very different from the others. Guess I'll be finding out soon.

The Brigmore Witches DLC is done, which makes all of Dishonored completed! This was a great stealth game all around, from the story, to the subtle music, to the gameplay. While I felt that character development wasn't this game's strong suit (with the exception to Daud), I still appreciate the interactions with some of the characters. The insight on Daud, the game's "villain" as part of The Knife of Dunwall's and this DLC's subject and focus was a really interesting shift from the main game that i liked.

Alright, Cartoon Network Battle Crashers is done. My daughter caught on pretty fast so it didn't take more than a couple of hours. Glad to have that one off the backlog.

Two more categories left...

I am disgusted by what I'm about to say, but I just finished Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back. It was only one of the worst games I've ever played. So far, I haven't been impressed by either of the games I've completed for this event...

 

But the ones in progress are friggin' great.

So I redid Word Sudoku by POWGI, and gawd I hate that mongrel and his goofy smile. I didn't even finish the game last night as I was busy with MapleStory playing the Zero class(best class ever!) and grinding dungeons, so I forgot the game existed.

 

I did use a video guide but even then I had to drown my brain in podcasts to keep from turning off the PS4. It's really boring. Now I know what I don't like Sudoku. ??

 

Oh, this is the unpopular category as I found it had, at the time of declaration, 1451 owners. Only 49 to the limit but the other options were way way less appealing. :(

 

On one note: After seeing Cassy putting Skylanders on her list, I realized I could put LEGO Dimensions on my list as it also requires a toy pad. I just saved myself working with PlayLink, and there should be a good deal on the full toypad and game starter pack. Probably not going to go for any DLC, I spent all of my free money on MapleStory NX. xD

Just finished off Gem Smashers for my EZPZ down.  It's an absolutely terrible game that I recommend everyone avoid at least the Vita version of because it's a buggy mess.  No game should require a freaking hard reset of my system to earn a trophy in it and that's how much of a buggy mess the game is.  On top of that, the game isn't even all that great to begin with.  I just can't recommend to anyone, but seriously, don't bother with the Vita version.

 

At least I'm doing well with Ys Origin and Ys VIII.  Only two playthroughs left for Origin and nearly done with my first run of Ys VIII.  Still going to be sticking to just these games because I don't have anything with DLC that could reasonably be completed before this is over.  Have nothing with speed run trophies either.  No bad rep games, I avoid MP like the plague to the point of not buying games with online features and don't own any peripherals (including a smartphone for playlink).

I'm late, but still on time! This will be my first participation in an event, let's see how it goes! ?

 

I'm aiming at completing the following 5 games:

 

Category Game (all EU / PS4) Qualifier
EZPZ    
Ultra Rare Thumper 3.61% Completion    
Platinum-Less   Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris     
Unpopular    
DLC    
Difficulty Downwell Well Master
Speed Run Bound Speedrunner
MP Red Dead Redemption 2 Notorious 
Peripherals    
Bad Rep  

 

 

 

Depending on how it goes with RDR2 (only one more single-player trophy left, then I can start the multiplayer...) I might swap Thumper for Hollow Knight or Downwell for Darksiders III.

Wow, an update with actual progress, it just took me like half of a month-

 

I'd like to switch Furmins for Ultratron for my Platinumless category, because I have arrived to an unfortunate conclusion that Furmins is one of those irritation-inducing, RNG-coded games where even if you know what to do, you aren't guaranteed progress, because the game not only expects perfect placement, but also tends to change the outcome based on whatever mood RNGesus is in at that particular moment. 

 

Also, I've finished Type:Rider for the Speed Run cat; the Clarendon level took a few attempts, but nothing too hard. I'd say that the main struggle of that section is dealing with the physics - the dots feel very heavy and lose momentum at the most unopportune moments at times. While my successful run did include the sniper glitch, I found the reticle to be easy to avoid. As for the wire sparks, I ended up leaping off the balcony, skipping the first wire entirely, hopped over the incoming spark and just booked it to the end, hoping that no returning sparks would catch me; made it juuuust in time.

Well Zombeer is a horrible game, and honestly I don't think I can bring myself to finish even one playthrough. But I realized that I finished Suicide Guy the day the event started, so I'm going to use that for my Unpopular category. The NA version has 1,446 owners.

 

That just leaves the peripheral category for the sweep. With plenty of time left I'm going to look into borrowing a PS camera, or maybe buy one cheap if I can. May as well try out The Playroom for it since we're all stuck with it on our PS4.

Glad you got 100% on that, that's something I can probably never do. I will do a beginner run of that game so I can watch all of the cutscenes for it before I play the copy of KH3 I picked up, though. ;) Good luck on KH3.

Big Update time :D

 

I finished Enigmatis 1 and 2. The latter is definitely the better one. More storytelling, more diverse puzzles. Only disadventage is the map is less detailed :( ... in my 2nd playthrough of Enigmatis 2 i used the memory like minigame and while it was entertaining it was also very easy. You don't get any penalty for an error... But both titles showed me again that Artifex Mundi's games are great. Hopefully i'll get the newer ones soon too....

 

Also completed Mecho Tales. Storytelling almost none so i have no clue what it was about besides shooting robot alike animals :P:D while it ran smoothly there was something i didn't like: behind the hero was floating a little drone that did the shooting. If you enter a new level the drone isn't visible and so its projectiles won't fly around. So even if an enemy is close by (and already attacking) you must move forward an inch for the drone to appear... this made fighting enemies on different heights difficult too. I jumped and shot but sometimes missed because my drone wasn't flying high enough. At the same time i was hit by the enemy :(

I'll be honest: the only reason i wanted this game are :gold::D ... not a bad game, but not something great either...

 

Besides that i made good progress in Gat out of Hell (story completed, several collectibles taken) and Word Search. This'll be my next and probably last game for this event :D ... i won't get any peripheral title so i'll finish with the minimum for a badge :)

Sorry I've been MIA. Rather sick... again *sigh*

I'll try to get to updates within the next day or so.

There's still plenty of time left, no need to worry about updates. Your health is more important.

Get well soon!
