Popular Post arsenal4life1471 Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hey Everyone, This is a Backlog Event/Contest/Forum for Everyone!! and Every Console From people who don't mind not platinuming (is that even a word) / 100%ing games, to People who just want to try and get through the single player mode be it a story mode or other single player modes for example from campaign in a call of duty to a play through of skyrim AND If you a hardcore trophy hunter your also welcome This may help people start games that they do eventually want to platinum but just need to take it in small steps as normally starting games can be the hardest thing and once you've done a play through you may want to start another playthrough tt clear up the trophies hopefully or you may join this with the intention to Plat every game (Obviously non Trophy games you can't plat) or a chance to maybe focus on games from other consoles its up to you. Yes you might be thinking whats the point if your not going to platinum the game this is for catered to more casual players who may be under representing in backlog events and there is not another backlog event to cater towards them as most if not all on here are aimed at going for 100%/platinum of which is also encouraged here for people who want an bit more challenge. so what do we do? In this event you will be doing a pyramid/tree see how far down you can go. The amount of levels but must be no more or no less than 5 levels see my example below. There is no need to platinum games just play through once so for example a play through of uncharted 4 on explorer mode will do and you can then check that of the list although going on to platinum the game does net you more points on the leaderboard (find out more later on in this post) How do I sign up? No need to "sign up" as sign up is open all the time. Lust post saying your list and away you go. THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS> you must keep up the updates posting it in a new post every time and don't just edit original post as i will not see them This is to be done when completing a playthrough and if you do go on platinum the game another update is needed. also follow the page would be great aswell Rules 1.You start from the top and work you way down the pyramid meaning you have to complete a level one game first before moving on the level 2. For example being game if your level 1 game was Red Dead Redemption 2 you must Complete a playthrough on that before unlocking level 2. 2. Each level the choice gets greater so level 1 will have one game 2nd level will have two etc. So in the first level make sure its a game you really want to playthrough to start of with. For example im starting with Spiderman on Ps4 as thats my most anticipated game to start for example. 3. You can move on/ Unlock the next level if you like once you have completed Just one game on the level above. so once you have done a Level 2 game you can move on to Level 3 or you can complete both level 2 games then move on to level 3 its up to you. 4, You may Work on more than one game at once in this event BUT they must be from an unlocked level For example you can't be working on a level 5 game while you have only unlocked up to level 2. 5. You may only start a new pyramid once you have completed the one you are on meaning all games must have a playthrough. IN regard to the leaderboard once you have completed your pyramid and move on your points are looked meaning if you do go back and platinum a game you will not gain those extra plat points. (see more down below. 6. I will be checking your trophies to see if you are telling the truth. i expect to see a trophy for completing the game even if its only on easy or the equivalent mode. 7. Multiplayer only games must be platinumed/100% as there is no singleplayer so you can't do a playthrough. You can then tick it off and will score maximum points on the leaderboard and example would be Six Siege. 8. Any Console/Pc games allowed With or without trophies and from whatever generation or whatever system. 9. Suggested format below but if you can make a cooler looking pyramid please do. NOTE: if you have HD trilogys/collection or or bundles they count as seperate games for example the Spyro Reignited trilogy on PS4 would count as 3 games not one. so you can either put the 3 on different levels or just put one game in i.e Spypo Riptos rage on one level Spyro 1 on another etc. or just have one game and save the others for another pyramid. NOTE: Dlc can count as a game but must be story based or the equivalent. and example of this would be freedom cry dlc for assassins creed black flag ONE SWAP ALLOWED PER PYRAMID !! EXAMPLE CLICK SPOILER BELOW: Spoiler Green = currently playing GAME = playthrough completed Game = PLatinumed (100% not needed and games and only for games with platinums) LEVEL ONE Marvel Spider-man (PS4) LEVEL TWO A way out (ps4) Star wars Force Unleashed (Ps3) LEVEL THREE Jak and daxter Hd Trilogy The Precursor legacy (ps3) The Saboteur (ps3) Lego Star wars 3 Clone wars (ps3) LEVEL FOUR Infamous (ps3) Hitman Blood Money (Ps3) Unravel (ps4) Battlefield 4 (ps4) LEVEL FIVE Yakuza Kiwami (ps4) Sleeping Dogs (ps3) Borderlands 2 (ps3) gravity rush (ps vita) Unravel 2 (ps4) Edited October 1, 2021 by arsenal4life1471 Rewording/ Updating rules. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittheroadbucky Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I’m interested! I have a pretty short attention span so a lot of times going for the plat in one go isn’t really attainable for me as I game jump quite a bit ? I have a question though: for this would games in the pyramid need to start at 0% trophies wise? For example I have the crafting trophy on The Last Of Us but I’ve never finished the game before, so would I be able to add that if I was starting a new playthrough? ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal4life1471 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 you dont have to start from 0% trophies or even start a brand new playthrough. so for example you say i had done half of a call of duty campaign once and never finished it and now i wanted to add that to the list you dont have to start a new playthrough carry on the old save like normal it doesnt matter. so in short yes you can carry on where you left of in last of us whether 0% or 20 % it dont matter i look forward to seeing your pyramid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hittheroadbucky Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think it sounds really fun ? it’s a good excuse to start working through my backlog. I’m working on the Fallout 76 plat at the moment (I just have the level 100 trophy left) but after that I can get started on this. Also, quite a few of the games in my pyramid I’ve previously started at some point but most of them were years ago so I’ll be starting fresh playthroughs. Level One The Outer Worlds Level Two The Last Guardian Days Gone Level Three Far Cry 5 Prey Mad Max Level Four Bioshock Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition Darksiders 2 Mafia 3 Level Five Watchdogs 2 The Last of Us Deus Ex Mankind Divided Infamous Second Son The Order 1886 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal4life1471 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 some good games on there and some long ones too good luck. i personally really enjoyed mafia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittheroadbucky Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I’ve not played past the opening chapter but I absolutely loved it. The soundtrack is amazing. I haven’t looked into the trophy guides or anything for my picks because I didn’t want them to influence my choices. Mad Max is a game that I’ve put off for ages because I’ve heard that it’s buggy so that one I definitely wanted to include in this otherwise I’d never get around to it ? Also I forgot to specify on my pyramid but all those games are on PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal4life1471 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 i was the same with mafia 3 started it then played other games but went back and it was worth it. This event is perfect for games like mad max the games you dont want to start because it maybe buggy but if you can do a playthrough you may then push on to the platinum another time.

hittheroadbucky Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Ooh well done! What did you think of it? I enjoyed the game, but towards the end I kind of felt it was a bit of a grind. I haven’t started on my list yet. I just got the plat for Fallout 76 last night so I’m ready to make a start on The Outer Worlds. I did start a playthrough on hard back around it’s release when I was off work sick, but I never got far. I think this time I’ll probably do a normal run for my first play and then I’ll head back in at some point to get the supernova difficulty.

arsenal4life1471 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I thought it was a great game right up my alley. i feel it was fantastic and perfect length and the platinum wasnt to difficult either. i got the game of the year addition so im glad i got the dlc as well but havent started that yet. i dont feel it was a grind as i enjoyed doing the leveling up and do most of the side mission etcs before completing the game so it felt just right. on to the next level i go also well done on the fallout 76 platinum must of been hard putting up with that game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittheroadbucky Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Some of the DLC looks really good. One of my friends has a couple of them and he loved them. I haven’t grabbed any and tbh I probably won’t. I enjoyed my time with the game but the plat is plenty for me ? Thank you! I had the game since about a month after launch when it went down to £20 ridiculously fast and it was rough at the beginning. From December ‘18 until this April I only managed to level my character to 23 ? I went back to it after Wastelanders released and I had so much fun with it, even the base game features felt more exciting since there were random NPCs dotted about and gave the game more life. If you played it before and haven’t gone back to it I’d definitely recommend checking it out again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal4life1471 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 not really a fallout fan tried to get into 4 but just wasnt for me and all the stuff around 76 turned me off for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hittheroadbucky Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Aw I love the fallout games. I was a bit disappointed with 4 though. Fallout 76 was a train wreck at the beginning not going to lie ? it is getting better now. That being said I don’t know how some people can get to level 400+ ? like I did the last main quest around level 70 and most of the side quests, so the last grind to level 100 felt a bit repetitive. There’s not really enough content to keep me playing past earning the plat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikkelEhlers Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) This sounds like a great event - I will definitely join. The backlog only ever seems to expand. LEVEL 1: Trine 2: Complete Story (PS4) - Just Started LEVEL 2: Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition (PS4) Celeste (PS4) LEVEL 3: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition (PS4) Oninaki (PS4) Sonic Mania (PS4) LEVEL 4: Salt And Sanctuary (PS4) Bastion (PS4) Titan Souls (PS4) Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (PS4) LEVEL 5: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PS4) Dragon Ball Xenoverse (PS4) Diablo III: Reaper Of Souls (PS4) Mad Max (PS4) Hollow Knight (PS4) I'm pretty excited for starting these games, but damn it's hard to choose.
