Are there even people with more than 1 game within that range that asked to add several?

 

Well I have 4 games within the 30%-35% range: Hitman, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3 and Dirt 2 (actually even 5 but I tend to ignore FIFA games when it comes to trophies) so I don't think it's that unlikely since I don't even own that many games (about 100) compared to other people. This rule allows me to add all those games if I want so that's great!

You’re WAY overthinking things. Don’t worry so much.

 

I thought of increasing the minimum to 10, but you could do 5 in six months if they’re really long or, if you’re like me, you’re insanely slow. xD 

I'm not worried, I was curious and now I'm not. Thanks for answering.

Nice, i see how the change in the rule helps you. Haven't scanned through all replies before asking, but good to know the change wasn't just out of nowhere as it initially seemed to be.

I'm deferring my list from the Summer 2019 Backlog Challenge where I've been pretty dreadful, to be fair.. The intention was there, but I started with a game that was a bit of a sucker punch to the kidneys (Beach Buggy Racing) and lost all direction with the list - instead opting to work on the multiplayer for F1 2017 (level 50) and mopping up what I can on The Four Kings Slots & Casino.

 

I plan to give this list a much better, more focused attempt during this challenge.. ? I'm adding quite a few games to feel less confined, but instead of adding another bunch of unstarted games I'm adding games that I've already started and haven't really given them as much attention, taking advantage of the rule a maximum of five games can have a completion percentage of up to 35%, but the rest must be 30% or under, in the hope that my increasing overall completion % will be an additional motivator for success.

 

Deferring from Summer challenge:

Assassin's Creed II (PS4) : 0% => 18% => 30% => 38%

Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3) : 0% ↔️ Color Guardians (PS4) : 30%

Beach Buggy Racing (PS4) : 17%

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered : 0% ↔️ I Am Alive (PS3) : 9%

 

Additional Games:

Final Fantasy VII (PS4) : 10%

God of War (PS3) : 5%

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS4) : 31%

Heavy Rain (PS3) : 11%

Killzone (PS3) : 32%

LEGO Jurassic World (PS4) : 16% => 34% => 61% => 64%

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PS3) : 15% => 21%

Saints Row: The Third (PS3) : 3%

Spyro the Dragon (PS4) : 25%

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (PS4) : 26%

Watch Dogs (PS4) : 26%

Wolfenstein: The New Order (PS4) : 7%

 

---

 

Updates: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6

Maybe a stupid question to end my post:

Can I add games I´m currently playing?

In this case it would be Minecraft, currently a 24% game. But I played it at least 5 times a week with my friends for the past month. Not going for trophies because currently we´re base building, looking for places we need and stuff (and my friends don´t hunt trophies).

But if the game stays below 35% I could add it later?

I don't see any issue with it, as long as the game's completion stays below 35% before adding it.

 

It may fall foul of this rule

  • After the event begins, you can make up to three swaps as long as you haven't worked on it during the challenge.

So we'll flag @MidnightDragon to clarify.. :)

I am pretty sure that adding games is fine as long as they are under the relevant % but your swaps have to be out of the original list you submitted.

The games I add below 30%

  • LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (5%)
  • GTA San Andreas (10%)
  • Borderlands: The Pre Sequel (10%)
  • Ghost Recon Wildlands (17%)
  • Borderlands 3
  • Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered (10%)

I start with 6 games for 6 months, because I never did an event like that.

I want to get a feeling how I enjoy gaming with the preassure of failing an event.

Pretty sure I´m going to add games later (personal goal I already have in mind is 15. But don´t tell anyone so I can change it if I fail. It´s a secret.)

Yes, you can as long as it stays under 35%. If it goes over before the challenge starts, you can change it. You can swap as much as you want before. Once it’s started, the rule @iXanon referenced applies.

 

And added.

Thanks for the replies :)

 

I´ll add it as late as possible to the challenge, if I add it at all.

I´ve got enough other games below 30% I can do, without possible rule bending :D

It´s still nearly a month, anything can happen during the time, and the minecraft trophies are easily done with both creative glitches anyway.

 

I´m not changing any of the 6 games I added.

I have them in mind for quite a while now, no excuses anymore! Enough buying new games while others aren´t close to be done.

You could do 50 EZPZ. :P Also, raised the max due to the time frame. Left the minimum alone because you could choose five really long games.

Oh goodness, I don't really want to do Little Adventure of the Prairie AGAIN. :(

 

But I'll see what I can do, maybe just one of the game I played for KYCX and a few Artifex Mundi titles to round it out or something. I'll join once I get a list done. Right now I am so busy with Kingdom Hearts 3 (and working on DQB2 for the Switch, I am writing a really long narrative walkthrough for it. xD I plan to start speed-running DQB2 once I'm done with the Switch port.)

I’m going to add some games to my existing 5. Usually I don’t see games that are not on my trophy list as backlog games.But since my collection of bought but never played games is ever increasing, I’d better start some of them.

 

I’d like to add the following 4 games

  • God of War - 0% (0/37) (PS4)
  • Plague Inc. Evolved - 0% (0/55) (PS4)
  • Steins gate - 0% (0/42) (PS3)
  • Silent Hill 2 - 0% (0/28) (PS3)

 

Original Line Up

  • Hunting Simulator - 1% (1/31) (PS4)
  • Fallout 3 - 2% (3/73) (PS3)
  • God of War Ascension - 4% (3/36) (PS3)
  • Until Dawn - 14% (4/19) (PS4)
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 15% (23/100) (PS4)

Okay, I'll join. I think I found a happy list that I can work on casually. It's a list of 25 games, which is half max but I did take the mod's advice and put a bunch of easy games on it, including some Artifex Mundi titles I banned but, since the online for Dragon Quest Builders 2 requires PS+, I might as well pay for a 3-month sub and use the cloud save option to get those games I hated completed. I hate them because they have trophies for doing puzzles fast and the Mundi titles always auto-save during puzzles so you need to back up your save so you can try again if you fail the speed challenge. :( But hey, I've balanced it so I can work on the games in the morning and work on my Dragon Quest Builders 2 optimization for trophies during the dead of night.

 

I have to re-purchase most of these games on PSN but hey, I have the money. (I've already platinumed most of these games on other accounts so they count as backlog.) Also, I think this list is good so I am probably not going to change it unless I decide to add in a few short games.

 

LONG GAMES:
(1) Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered
(2) Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (3%)
(3) World of Final Fantasy
 
MEDIUM GAMES:
(4) Castlevania Requiem
(5) Secret of Mana Remake (3%)
(6) LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
(7) LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
(8) LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Deluxe Edition)
(9) LEGO Jurassic World
(10) Ratchet and Clank
(11) Dark Cloud
 
SHORT GAMES:
(12) Enigmatis: Ghosts of Maple Creek
(13) Enigmatis 2: The Ghosts of Ravenwood
(14) Enigmatis 3: Shadows of Karkhala
(15) Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart
(16) Nightmares from the Deep 2: The Siren's Song
(17) Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davey Jones
(18) Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride
(19) Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan
(20) Grim Legends 3: The Dark City

Quick switch made, Watch Dogs in for Alien Isolation. May end up making more beforehand though. Likely going to start working towards some of these prior to the start to get ahead. Plus I am trying to do all the DLC and assignments on Battlefield 4 which is taking up a chunk of my time right now.

 

Zombie Army Trilogy 0%

Watch Dogs 28%

Far Cry 5 0%

Metro 2033 Redux 0%

Dying Light 0%

Modern Warfare Remastered 5%

Walking Dead Final Season 0%

Zombi 0%

Best of luck to you @grifteskymfning, that is quite a list! 51 games to try and beat in 26 weeks. Just under 2 games a week will be needed and you have some fairly long games on there.

 

Oh and you have Terminator Salvation on there ? bringing back some memories there. That was my very first Platinum over 10 years ago...

It was my first platinum as well, waaaay back when on my previous account. It's been sitting in my backlog with one trophy for ages, time to put that wrong to right!
