Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Enjoyment: 5/10

Difficulty: 6/10

Time taken: 1 month, 1 day, 6 hours

 

Aside from ProStreet, Hot Pursuit has probably been my least favourite Need for Speed of the X360/PS3 era. It was made slightly more playable through the discovery of handbrake drifting around tight corners, but even this manoeuvre isn't without its flaws. I'll be honest, I was close to smashing my PS3 controller to bits whilst doing one or two of the preview / rapid response time trials, and it's been a while since a game has made me rage to that extent! So I'm glad its over, and my controller lives to fight another day.. Now there's just one more NFS title on the PS3 that I'll be aiming to complete in the future, the first SHIFT.

Enjoyment: 6/10

Difficulty: 1/10

Time taken: 1 year, 6 months, 2 weeks

 

Even though September 2022 is a long way away with the upcoming Gamesparks shutdown, I decided to err on the side of caution and get this finished.. Afterall, it's a pretty enjoyable game and the trophies aren't too difficult. It's a crying shame that this didn't receive a bit more love from Sony and its developers, really.

ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron

Enjoyment: 4/10

Difficulty: 2/10

Time taken: 2 days, 14 hours, 48 minutes

 

Despite having played this back in the Genesis days, I don't recall ever finishing all 17 levels, though perhaps the overwhelming feeling with this game was that I much preferred the original. Having finished gathering earthlings in Funkotron and shipping them off back to Earth this evening, that still remains to be the case. I'll openly admit that I couldn't be bothered collecting Lamont's favourite things as there was no trophy associated with doing so. and I cheesed the save system to make this a bit of a cakewalk in the end..

I was going to do this as a community event, but.. I decided not to (unless there's serious demand) ?

 

Instead, I'm posting this as an aim to try and finish as many PS3 games in my backlog as I can in the coming months.. The recent issues with Driver: San Francisco, Far Cry 2, Need for Speed: Underground and Watch Dogs have served as a stark reminder that the lifespan of the PS3 is on borrowed time.

Well, I managed to finish up the multiplayer of Driver: San Francisco [PS3] and Splinter Cell: Blacklist [PS3] prior to the original shutdown date of September 1st 2022.. Unfortunately this came at the cost of Killzone Shadow Fall [PS4] which I made a conscious decision not to start.. It was a bit frustrating that the Ubisoft games subsequently got a further month on top of an already lengthy shutdown notice, while Killzone got the grand total of about 3 weeks, but c'est la vie.

 

The TT Bean Dive recovery is going pretty well in terms of percentage.. though not necessarily on the games that were dived (some of it is), and this has also been helped recently by the TT Alphabet Challenge which involved unlocking a trophy with the first letter running through A-Z in order, with no more than 2 skips. I decided to skip both X and Z.

Start completion % 61.56
End completion % 58.32
Final dive % 3.24
Current completion % 60.16
Recovered completion % 1.84
Trophies needed for recovery 81
 
Total games dived 8

Lately "Project PS3" has taken a bit of a break, and I've been playing against potential server shutdowns again, this time in the form of both DiRT Rally and DiRT 4 that were noted for shutdown on 03/10/22. Although it seems that this was seemingly incorrect since they've not shutdown afterall, I still feel like it was a worthy exercise to get those online elements out of the way.. I also chose to buy, start, and finish Animal Super Squad (EU) prior to the GameSparks shutdown (thanks to @clivey1990 for informing us that 100% was possible using the downgrade trick), and I've also started Onrush prior to the 'extended shutdown' on 30/11/22.
