This means that you do not have to complete DLC for the game to count, but you must 100% the base game trophies. You also can have made progress in the game prior to the event starting so long as it is completed during this time frame (ie-- the base game must not have been completed before the event starts). 2) You can list your games out in advance, but you are not locked in until you post that you have completed a game for a category. Once you post that you have completed a game for a category, you cannot change that category's game or move the completed game to a different category. 3) Even though a game may fit more than one category, you may only use the game for one category in this event. 4) I will not be checking games to make sure that they "fit" a category. It's up to you to use your best judgment to stay within the spirit of the categories and would be beneficial to list your reasoning for using the game for a category so that other event participants have more example games to chose from. If I or other participants have experience with the games and make it known that the game does not fit in the category, you may be barred from using it unless you justify your reasoning. The Rewards 1) Anyone who completes 5 or more games will receive an event badge, artistically devised by spacey_dweeb who also did the fantastic event banner. There will be no additional badges for completing more than 5 games. 2) If you complete all 10 games, you will be entered into a drawing for a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man GOTY Edition (physical copy). A $20 US PSN card has also been donated by an anonymous forum member which will also be raffled to those who complete all 10 games. If you do not want to be entered into these drawings for whatever reason please note this when you enter the event. Tracking Games will be tracked in a Google Sheets spreadsheet HERE. This spreadsheet will be updated by the wonderful Jens and myself periodically. If you list your intended games, they will be documented in the spreadsheet so that others can get ideas for games. Once a game is mentioned as being completed for a particular category, the cell will be highlighted to indicate completion. Happy gaming, and happy New Year!

ladynadiad Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Sure, sign me up! Here's a tentative list of some stuff I may play. Lose the Weight - Dark Cloud Focus on Family - htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary - This one isn't obvious at first since it seems like you're just leading a young girl with a firefly, but when you start getting the memory fragments they always show the girl with people who appear to be her parents. Since those are the majority of what story this game has and most of the characters, it fits. Update Relationship Status - Go to the Gym - Danganronpa 1+2 Reload Find Time For Yourself - Queen's Quest 3 - It's an Artifex Mundi game and about the only one I own since it was more to get that elusive Q titled plat. Get a Better Job - Valiant Hearts: The Great War - So I finally got this on PSN and maybe it's about time to get around to playing it (I've had the Xbox 360 version forever, but don't like playing the 360 much) Finish Your Masterpiece - Okami HD Volunteer More - Seek Hearts - It may not be out in NA yet, but we already have a trophy list and it has a trophy for completing all quests which indicates that it has sidequests like every other Kemco game. Do Better in School - Corpse Party: Blood Drive Make More Money - Also if by chance I finish 10 games, no need to enter me into the drawing. The game just isn't my sort of game.

ArtikSkarab Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yeah! A new Eigen event which I will definitively be joining. Will be figuring what games fit the categories as I'm clearing them for the ABC challenge. Also, if I do all 10 challenges, I do not need to be included in the raffle as I already have a copy of Spider-Man! I am still thankful for the generosity!

Sanevin Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 This theme is a great idea! I'll give it a shot. If I do get all 10, I'm not interested in being entered for the drawing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassylvania Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm in for the event. I'm out for the drawing. I'll probably play Spider-Man as one of the categories. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigmaCloud Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yeah, I'm definitely signing up. Don't think I'll be able to get to 10, but just in case, I'll abstain from joining the raffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlaskar Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'll play, but with some asterisks: I don't need to be entered into the drawing, and I'll be going for the platinum trophies for these games (some I've beaten already but haven't started to trophy hunt)... Volunteer More: Borderlands Lose the Weight: Borderlands 2 Focus on Family: The Last of Us (Remastered) Update Relationship Status: Until Dawn Go to the Gym: All Assassin's Creed Games Available on PS4 Find Time for Self: The Witcher 3 Get a Better Job: Virginia (although her job is pretty sick) Finish Masterpiece: Okami HD Do Better in School: Life Is Strange Make More Money: Red Dead Redemption II Among others I'll go for but there's the ground work thanks for the inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuroraHistoire Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I would like to join too, if that's alright. I also don't want to be entered in the drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristycism Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I'll definitely join the event! ^^ I'll need to come up with a list later as I'm on mobile right now and it's annoying to type out lists on mobile But I love the categories you've come up with, they're a nice twist on new year's resolutions! (I'm sure I've made all of them at least once....) I somehow haven't bought Spider-Man yet despite wanting it since it was released, but I'm in the UK so postage would be too expensive and I'd feel bad (plus customs can be an issue). So don't enter me for the draw either Edited December 27, 2019 by Kristycism Removing off topic discussion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's you're only reason for opting out, you shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigen-space Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 An anonymous forum member has also offered up a PSN card as a drawing prize as well. For those that have opted out so far and have been polite, I'll consider you opted in unless you note again that you'd like to be opted out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraHistoire Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I would like to opt out of PSN card drawing and any other future drawing prizes that may be added. I enjoyed seeing some more obscure games in the examples. It was really surprising to see Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection and Little Dragons Café.

SpaceCoresDad Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm in love with this idea already. Count me in as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litha Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm in! Most of the games you listed as examples are in my backlog. I'll mull it over for a bit and post a list soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yen-Pop Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I'm definitely in! I'll update this post once I have a list of games ? EDIT: Here is my list so far! Trying to not start too many games before I plug through more of my backlog. Lose Weight: Focus on Family: Bioshock Infinite (PS4) 88% Update Relationship Status: The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan 19% Go to the Gym: Brutal Legend 72% Time For Yourself: Better Job: Bendy and the Ink Machine 77% Finish Your Masterpiece: Volunteer More: Trover Saves the Universe 0% Do Better in School: Make More Money: Assassin's Creed Rogue (PS3) 80% Edited January 1, 2020 by Yen-Pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litha Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Here's my list: Lose the Weight - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered (one of the trophies requires a speedrun with the Doughnut Drake i.e. obese Drake skin. I hope that counts.) Focus on Family - The Last of Us: Remastered (I'll probably get a bit of a head start on the multiplayer.) Update Relationship Status - Mass Effect Go to the Gym - God of War (PS3) Find Time For Yourself - Everybody's Golf (fishing mini-game) Get a Better Job - Spider-Man (yes he loses it before the halfway point, but who cares?) Finish Your Masterpiece - Sound Shapes Volunteer More - Dragon Age: Origins Do Better in School - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (if I can find a copy of the Ultimate Sith Edition that doesn't cost my house, if not I'll go with LEGO Harry Potter) Make More Money - LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 I'd also like to opt out of the prizes; I already own Spider-Man and have no interest in going through the rigamarole of setting up a US account to use the gift card.
