Fall/Winter 2019-2020 Backlog Challenge


Recommended Posts

I'm a bit disappointed in my progress, but I SEVERELY underestimated how time-intensive my courses were going to be this semester. My two free days with the bulk of my gaming time have now been mostly dedicated to traveling from NY -> CT -> NY, and then attending class or doing homework, and dad time to top it off. I know the responsibilities come first but looking at my list unchanged for the most part is quite sad lol 

 

Because of this, I'm going to take off two titles, The Unfinished Swan and Chocobo's Myster Dungeon EveryBUDDY. The Unfinished Swan, as my huge decrease in time just makes it all the more painful to play a game I really don't care much about. Perhaps another time it will get some lovin'. As far the Chocobo's Dungeon game goes, it's quite a grind involved that will probably burn me out with the workload, so I will shelf it for now. I enjoyed the ps1 game and this one as well, but I have to choose between making the most of my gaming sessions and my sanity at the moment. I hope the next update I have is a positive one, with some decent progress or another platinum

Dragon Quest Builders - Still on Chapter 1, Day 21, and I can't even fathom how I'm going to complete it under 20 days. I played a bit today, but kept on dying, so for my sanity I'll continue tomorrow. I seem to always make easy games hard for myself. Can't wait until everything clicks. All this, and not one gratifying trophy has popped yet.

Update...

 

Been a while since my last update, the Borderlands update. I haven't gotten around to much since then. I did knock off two long standing games from my backlog, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Wheel of Fortune, both for PS3 and were on my list for 9 and 10 years respectively. I also knocked out the FMV game Erica, which was OK. The 5 playthroughs was a bit much though, since not much changed during each one. Still trying to get what I can done before The Outer Worlds releases on Oct. 25. Probably won't drop another update until around that time, unless I have a lot to update. Now to figure out what I want to do next, updated list is below...

Alright, in an effort to prevent getting burnt out, I jumped over to Horizon Zero Dawn for a bit.  It's a great game save a couple of minor annoyance (fast travel really being the biggest), but I'm enjoying it.

My first game on this list entering October, I got the platinum while at my parents' house while they are traveling cross-country across Germany. ;)

 

Anyways, it was such a chore. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the story - the first time it was there. After that, not even giant man-eating dinosaurs ripping into each other made me enjoy getting 100%, and I usually love completing collections. I guess I was jaded after the ease of the Vita version. The hub worlds were massive open-world affairs and if you don't have a gyrosphere, lots of luck walking across the entirety of the Islas if you haven't checked the blue kiosks to unlock fast travel points! :(

 

I missed a gold brick in the end, as usual. Luckily it was in the T-Rex arena in Jurassic World Park and it was the one I couldn't get earlier because I needed a Compy to go through a tube to reach it. I switch to the Compostnaguthus(forget it, I can't spell that tiny dino's name), went through the tube, and grab the brick for 100% completion and the platinum.

 

Probably not going to do the LEGO Harry Potter Legacy Collection any time soon - even though the hub worlds are much smaller, there are more story levels(four more for a total of 24 levels). I'm pretty much burned out on LEGO games for the rest of the year. I am going to sit back, playing more Dragon Quest XI S's 2-D mode, and then lull myself to sleep while listening to Games Done Quick speedruns. ^_^

 

Tomorrow is another day, might boot up Ratchet and Clank or Dark Cloud. Not really wanting to do more Deadly Tower of Monsters right away even though it's really easy to get through. I have completed 65% of my list and have five months left. There's no need to rush. :P

Don't despair! I felt this way with the swamp level (2nd map) as I kept getting disorientated in some of the sections. The time pressure made me forgetful and detracted from enjoyment. Play at your own pace for now and then you can re-challenge the levels from the menu screen at your own leisure once you know what is needed for completion. I think have a guide ready, have some kind of mapping system (I building little block posts every now and then to help me navigate) are helpful, knowing how to play optimally to be under the time limit - eg avoiding death as it progresses time, will come as you play.

Thanks for the assurance! I think it's starting to click now, or I just feel a little bit better after earning 2 trophies :P. The tip about having little block markers is helpful. There are times when I go back up a mountain having forgotten where I stepped off. Tomorrow, I plan on defeating the chapter 1 boss, then I'll start a new playthrough for the time challenge.

Not an update, just moving all of the unfinished games to the top for ease of organization. ;)

 

Might wait until the final week of October to do Castlevania Requiem and tag team it with Castle Costume for a Halloween marathon since I am no longer eligible for trick-or-treating and the go-to for most trophy hunters on Halloween(horror genre) is one genre which I won't touch with a 10-foot pole. xD:devil:

So finally got started on two more games. The Deadly Tower of Monsters will have to wait until after I get back home and can veg out on stupid pills. :P

 

Dark Cloud pushes all of its miscellaneous trophies, for the most part, in the first area, Norune Village. In fact, Norune is the only town you have to build to 100%(save the last one but that's mandatory to progress the story) to get a trophy. I'm reached the point where I got my first party member and can do the glitch to make my weapon insanely powerful, making the bosses a joke as long as you can dodge them. I got Excellent on the first two duels but that won't last. Ratchet and Clank is fun to play too and getting Kerwan Gladiator was easier than before because I knew how to do things. ^_^
