A Casual BACKLOG EVENT NOW FINISHED

[be_minor]

Update #2(?): I finally completed Dishonored Definitive Edition (minus DLC). I had technically beat it with a high chaos ending on September 1st, but I wanted to complete a 100% stealth playthrough. Wow, what a difference that made! My highest praise for Dishonored is being able to play the game any way you want; kill or spare main characters, go for all the collectibles or don’t. They definitely reward you for taking extra risks, but I found even doing the minimum in my low chaos playthrough super fun. I mostly only end up platting games I thoroughly enjoy, and Dishonored is officially plat #35.

How are you enjoying Danganronpa @Mr-ttaM ? ?

 

I can’t wait to play Ghost of Tsushima; I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Do you think it’s a real contender for GotY @MikkelEhlers ?

Well I haven't played The Last Of Us Part II, so can't speak for that, but out of the games I have played that have come out this year I would say that Ghost of Tsushima is definitely up there to be a contender for me (and probably many others). It's not because it's open world is especially "ground-breaking" but it's all the small things like the minimal HUD, follow the wind and so on. And there's a lot of content as well. I'll wait till the update with the multiplayer comes out before my final verdict, that could be really cool. Other than Ghost I think definitely Nioh 2 and FF7R are up there for me, though I haven't completely finished them yet...

Also Cyperpunk hopefully later this year, is probably really good!

 

 

What game, are you going for next? some good games on your list  been wanting to try out greedfall ever since it came out, so when you get to it please tell what you think 

[FFATMA]

If you locked me in a room and made me have to choose the GOTY out of TLoU2, GoT or FF7R, I'd probably crawl out after several agonizing days and go with TLoU2.  All three games are ridiculously good!  To be clear, I haven't played too far into GoT, but I've loved every single aspect of it so far!  I'm currently doing my Permadeath run of TLoU2 and I'm about halfway through so far.  It's crazy how intense it makes every encounter!  Even something as simple as jumping a ledge makes me stop and prepare for a bit before the attempt!

[MikkelEhlers]

Some day I will get around to playing TLoU2 but I really want to play the first before part 2 - Maybe I'll put the first game on my next pyramid so I'll actually get to it instead of just postponing it! 

[Phantochi]

Hey everyone, long time no see, i finished a game for the level 3 of my pyramid and didn't updated it here, since then i'm kinda lacking the motivation i guess to trophy hunt or to even play games in general, recently i started a few more games that i'll probably never go back to, and also went back to Final fantasy XV, finished the game and i'll go for the platinum, i ended up loving that game so much, even cried a bit in the end, they kinda rushed some of the characters development imo, the ending chapter also feels a bit rushed, but i overall it was fun. 

 

Also finished my first playthrought on Metro last Light Redux, i'll definetely go back to it and finish the platinum, i love the metro series and this is the only one i'm missing, but i'll do it in the future, for now i'll go back to this challenge and start a game on the level 4 of my pyramid, which will be *rolling a d4* Batman Arkham Knight, only played a few hours of this when it came out, so i'll start with a fresh save, this is will probably be my last game here for a while, i'm planning to do a horror month next month and only play horror games, but i'm a big pussy, so maybe i'll keep one of those games on the side just so i have other stuff to play when i ran out of diapers, but i don't know yet

That's a great list, the only one that will give you some headaches is Rayman Legends, i see you haven't done much progress towards truly awesome, so get ready to play this game for 30mins everyday, for 2~4 months lol

 

anyway, welcome, and have fun on your hunt 

[be_minor]

It’s funny you mention Greedfall, @MikkelEhlers ; that’s next on my list. I’ve been wanting to visit it for a while too, so when it appeared on PSNow, I saw it as a sign. I’m still in the tutorial though. I’m trying to decide if I want to play the game on the hardest difficulty for the platinum, or play through it once to see how much I’ll like it. Though, after watching gameplay and reviews, I think I’ll love it.

 

@FFATMA Without playing Ghost of Tsushima - or Cyberpunk 2077 - The Last of Us Part 2 is my GOtY too. I have yet to attempt the new DLC trophies, but I can imagine being terrified of ledges on a permadeath run. ?

 

Congrats on completing level 3, @Phantochi ! I definitely understand that lack of motivation to play sometimes. For me, it manifests with real life or shiny new games. Good luck on a horror-only October though. As someone who’s avoided Until Dawn for how scary I perceive it to be, I feel your pain.

 

Hey, all backlogs are good backlogs IMO @hittheroadbucky Sometimes you just need to go for your own goals. ?

 

And welcome @Koro249 ! As a fellow newbie, I wish you the best of luck moving through your backlog. You have some really fun and challenging games on your pyramid. Can’t wait to read about your experiences with some of my all-time favorites!

It's even worse for me right now because my new The Last of Us 2 controller is experiencing drift right now.  I'll line up a jump and as I'm sprinting towards it, the camera drifts off to the side, messing me up!  I had to restart my run due to a very easy jump being missed due to this.  I am currently about 80% through my newest run though!  The

whole skyscraper part and the hospital basement

parts are pretty nerve-wracking on Permadeath, let me tell you!  But definitely fun!

[be_minor]

@FFATMA Holy sh--, I cannot even imagine playing that entire Day on permadeath, let alone with drift. ? Stuff of nightmares... That'd be a great challenge for next month though. ?

Thanks! I was playing some easy plats just to keep my profile moving since i don't feel like playing anything

 

Yeah, i also get spooked really easily, but i love horror related stuff, i always hold off every game and movie to enjoy all together during october, i have a bunch of new games to go for during next month like RE remake 2 and 3, and i'm really looking forward to play those, so maybe that's the motivation i need like you mention

[hittheroadbucky]

I got plat number 50! Honestly kingdom hearts one was an utter bitch ? that being said, it’s one of my all time favourites and I’m glad that it was able to be a big milestone plat ❤️ Honestly though I do not recommend going for it ?

I really like that idea! Buying new games/ movies/ media of a certain theme and playing them all at once, kinda pushing me to complete it as a self-made challenge. That's probably why I love joining these events so much. ?

 

Congrats @hittheroadbucky !! That's amazing! What was the most difficult part for you? I've been meaning to play KH for years.

Edited September 21, 2020 by be_minor

[hittheroadbucky]

@be_minor Tbh I don’t think I went for the platinum in the most strategic way. I had one playthrough on normal difficult I was using for the majority of the trophies. Then I did a Beginner run so I could get the speedrun, unchanging armour and no continue screens. Then a final playthrough on proud/hard mode. You need so many materials for synthesis that I didn’t realise as I was playing, so on my 100% playthrough I maybe had an extra 15 hours grinding to get them (after I’d already maxed my character to 100 and done everything else ?) 

 

The most difficult part was probably the final battle on my beginner run using the starter Keyblade though ? which I didn’t expect. I ended up running the final battle twice. Once with my beginner equipment so I could use continue screens and then a second no death run with good equipment. The hard playthrough I expected to be the most difficult (I literally never play games on hard mode) but it wasn’t actually that bad. 
 

Very stressful platinum run at times, but I’m so happy I have it! 
 

I’m not sure what I want to work on next now ?

I've also been eyeing it, and then one of my friends actually bought (I hadn't even mentioned it to him) and also seeing it on PSNow - Definitely a sign as you're saying ^^

 

Personally I don't do first playthroughs on the difficulties, but I do understand the meaning if you can finish the trophies in one playthrough

I think the plat requires 1.5 playthroughs if I want all the trophies, the first playthrough being extreme. But I've been thinking about it and would rather just start playing and enjoying it. I don't want to stress or get stuck, and then put the game down indefinitely. I did that with Elex ?

Hmmm... what games do you have left on your pyramid? Any shiny new games in the backlog??

 

Again, congrats on the KH plat. I don't think I have the stomach or skill to attempt it, so kudos to you! 

[Sword]

I suppose eventually I'll have to stop lurking this thread and actually post a pyramid but it's fun watching non-hardcore trophy hunters go at it.  I love it.

Just a small update before i disapear for a while

 

I'd managed to plat Resident Evil 1 HD, was pretty hard, and super boring by the end since you have to beat it like 10 times, but i'm happy to be finally be done with it, and this got me passed 67% completion, almost reaching 70% which is in my bucket list for this year. 

 

Also made some progress on Batman Arkham Knight, i'll try getting the plat for Batman and Metro Last Light before moving to the 4th level of my pyramid so this may take a while, specially now that a personal challenge of mine is to finish The evil within and Outlast 2 in october 

 

Btw, what happened to op? It's been a while since his last update, guess we won't be seeing him again around here, it sucks for us and new people that will be joining

Yes, do it, Sword! We'd love to have you in here. I'd personally really enjoy seeing what kind of pyramid you'd come up with. ?

 

At least you're making some progress, @Phantochi, and having fun (hopefully). That's really what matters most.

I've been wondering this too. ? Maybe they're busy with IRL, but it might be a good idea to appoint a second to keep up with updates? Just a suggestion for when they get back. 

[Pray_4_the_End]

I would like to get in on this action! I've tried to add a mixture of games I would like to start/some I've started and never finished/and a handful of Vita games I've been sitting on as well. I'd like to have most of these done before picking up my PS5 on launch day, but realistically I'd be happy with at least half by then lol. Definitely gonna try and have them all beat by the end of the year though for sure.

Thank you! It looks like Borderlands 3 is patched so I think that’s what I’m next planning ? my boyfriend and I are also working on Man of Medan every now and again because I’m hoping to plat that before Little Hope comes out ?

 

I have Mad Max on my pyramid but I think I might change it for something else. Their servers are shutting down at the end of October and I don’t feel like rushing to get things done ? like I’m not a completionist by any means, but at the same time I don’t want to start a game that I know is legit unobtainable ?

Hmm, there are only 2 online trophies for Mad Max, so maybe I'll try to at least knock those 2 out so that I can get the platinum sometime in the future.  Doesn't look like they're too bad. I haven't started this one yet but I had been planning to, so thanks for the heads up on the server closure!
