Fall/Winter 2020-2021 Backlog Challenge

[Static_Rook]

Update 6 - 10/12/2020

 

Avengers 64% 67%

Shadow Warrior 31% 91%

Super Weekend Mode (Vita) 

 

Well, I wanted to be done with Shadow Warrior before this update, but I'm still slogging through Heroic Mode. Currently stuck on Chapter 10 and gave up for the night. The level is like an hour long with 3 or 4 big fights. I've played through it twice so far and need a break before trying again. I ran into a bug on my first attempt where an enemy spawned outside a certain room and couldn't be killed. Because of that, the door to the next area wouldn't open. I looked it up and I guess this is kind of common for that spot. So I re-started the level and made it past that part, but then I died to the Berserker right at the end of the level. 

 

Still on the Avengers grind and picked up a couple more misc. trophies in that. Only 40 more Hives to go!

 

Super Weekend Mode for Vita is now my quickest platinum. Like I wrote in the mini update, I swapped it in to make up some time and because Hotshot Racing's plat is still unobtainable. It was nice to balance out Shadow Warrior with something quick and easy.

 

Week 7 plans

 

-Finish Shadow Warrior

-Start Resident Evil HD

-Hives, Hives, Hives in Avengers

 

Good luck, everyone! I hope your hunting is less frustrating than mine.

1. Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki

2. Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (releases 10/27 in NA) 0 out of 53 trophies

3. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (57%) 40 out of 55 trophies

4. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (11%) 8 out of 38 trophies

5. Marenian Tavern Story (0%) 0 out of 50 trophies

6. Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk (0%) 0 out of 58 trophies

7. Alphadia Genesis (91%) 32 out of 34 trophies

8. Liege Dragon (39%) 22 out of 34 trophies

9. Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition (0%) 0 out of 15 trophies

 

128 out of 363 trophies earned.  1 out of 9 games completed

1/5 swaps

 

Still chipping away at that obnoxious treasure chest trophy in Alphadia Genesis.  Pretty much I decided to make it more bearable and just focus on knocking out 1-2 dungeons a day rather than trying to plow through the whole game again too quickly.  Went ahead and started Liege Dragon in the meantime which is definitely a much better game.  The story is pretty ordinary JRPG fare of save the world from the evil creature, but I think there are some interesting twists to it even if some of them were very predictable.  It's also a bit more challenging than the normal Kemco fare since it doesn't have a way to lower difficulty.  The whole thing with the monster guide that is a new set of trophies for this game actually is pretty interesting too.  How that works is that you scan regular monsters and then after finding their info you defeat them between 5-15 times to get rewards.  Every 5 kills gets a reward.  Most are generic consumable items that are useful, but there are also some skills, key items, and equipment tossed into the mix.  For example in an earlier dungeon if you complete one of them you get a key item that weakens the boss.  The trophy to complete the monster guide is likely to be a bit of a grind, but at the same time it's useful to do it before the boss of each area because it does make the battles smoother.  There is also the addition of being able to upgrade armor now and I also like how they added random conversations between characters when you stay at the inn.  Many are just a comment from them pertaining to current plot, but sometimes there are humorous conversations between two or more party members.  Overall, the game is fun but definitely don't expect it to be as easy as others by the same dev lie the Asdivine series and such.  It's definitely more challenging like the ones by the dev of games like Legend of the Tetrarchs and Monochrome Order.

 

But pretty much I think I'm just going to focus on knocking out some easier stuff that I hadn't started and get that part of the backlog down to where I wanted it to be by the end of the year first, and then I'll go back to focusing on completing some of the longer stuff.  So once I wrap up Liege Dragon and Alphadia Genesis I'll move on to Ara Fell.

Update #8

The Miami Heat at full health would have beat the LA Lakers in 6 games. Anyway,

 

I finally beat Psychonauts for the first time since playing it for the first time in maybe 2006. Such a fantastic, funny, awesome game and I wish it had a sequel although who knows if they'd be able to recapture all the things that made the game great. It doesn't pull punches for a "kids game" and it's just a blast to play and the characters are so memorable. I really enjoy Tim Schafer's games and this has me super excited to finally check out (and speedrun lol) Broken Age in the next couple of days after putting it off forever. 

 

Until next time

Before I write todays update just wanted to say nice job to everyone on all the progress you guys are making.

Keep it up yall!?

 

Weekly Log 006:

 

UMvC3-

So for 3 out of the 7days I got to play Marvel 3, I was reletlessy trying my hardest to knock out Morgins 10th Mission.

I trired and tried but to no prevail, I could not.

The starting motion on controller for her mission its just so hard to connect consistlty.

In the end I desided it would be best to just shollow my pride,  skip this beast of a mission and  just go 480 missions cleared for the trophy using the DLC characters missions to skip the near impossible(for me at least)10th mission some characters have.

Im sure I could do Morgins Mission 10 if I keep at it but its honestly not worth it tbh.

This Succubus has complently drined me on this one

 

I did end up clearing Iron Man's Missions(1-9)

I may have been able to beat mission 10 but based on some reaserch I did this seems like another one to pull out the skip card on.?

Chris's Missions(1-7) also done but I was feeling kinda burnt out after my long ass Days Gone session so I ended it there.

Mr Redfield is gonna have to wait till next time.

Witch is a shame cus I was really liking his gameplay style, Im a huge Resident Evil fan so it figures. lol

 

Days Gone-

Platinum aquired!!!

 

After 3 days had gone bye(ha!)

of me clearing out the modrate sized map of Farewell, killing freaker after freaker and having to do one of the most stupid and pointless trophy added into a easy game ever(use boost and nitro at the same time for 5 secs)

I got the shiny plat.

Overall I think this game is very good but man does it have its flaws.

Its undercooked for sure.

 

For starters the final mission...oh man what a dry finsh to the game...

 

I was really liking how they were building trwoeds the end. it wasnt great or anything but it was looking like it was gonna at least be a soIid calimax at least.

You strom head 1st into a millitary Compound after your friend rams his turck full of explozies into the to give you a opeing.

Then you spend(and I kid you not) the rest of the mission just fighting tru wave after wave of nothing but humans.

No horde, no freakers and you dont even get to ride your brike once during it(you know one of the main parts of the game)

None of that, just shooting generic goons, thats the final mission. Just sad.?

But hey at least the the final boss is just a 1button qte, thats something right? lol

 

Not saying I didnt enjoy the game cus I did, its just there is so much jank and undercook stuff that its pretty hard to say its anthing else then a 7.5 out of 10 game.

After getting the plat for Hozion and Spider-Man, Days Gone, just feels so bland when I was cleaning of all the extra content.

Exploring hardly felt fun due to looting areas really not serving much to the core gameplay.

Clearing out camps is alright but its uninspried.

Hordes would have been awesome, but they chose to put far to many in the game witch resulted in the getting boring and losing thier appeal fast.

Should have just put ten in the game at set locations with varying locals/gimicks 

Tho I did sometimes find it funny when a horde would randomly show up out of no were and clear a whole came for me while I didnt lift a finger. lol

 

I still got the DLC left to do, so Decon St John jounry is not quite at its end.

Still gotta do...

 

-Challenges(I hear these are a huge difficulty spike)

-Clear New Game plus

-Clear Days Gone on Survival II(Very Hard Difficulty)

 

NG+ and Survial 2 can be combined so thats not too too bad, but Days Gone was surpisly long so it may take me a good 3session or so.

Dont know how Ill fair on those challenge but hey Ive beat harder challenges in other games so Im not worried all that much.

 

Ok thats all for now guys/gals.

Sorry for my log post and see yall next week.✌

Added Vampyr (for Halloween Play Event here on PSNP)

 

Added Root Letter Vita 

 

Finished Mad Max 

 

First couple of hours were great playing Mad Max till it felt repetitive.

 

All the bosses bar one have the same attack pattern, and strategy.  They could have done so much more with the bosses.

 

The Story is 3-4 hours long, but all the collecting/camps/challenges/races could take 50-90 hours.

 

It took me 100+ hours (4 days+ 4 hours) to platinum it. 

 

Used all 10 Save Slots, just in case I ran into any glitches. Thankfully nothing glitched out. 

 

Once I got 0/191 Scavenging Points....I would add 36 to see if it matched my stats page. Always check every 2-3 scavenging points I completed.

Update 5!

I'm a day late with this update, whoops! I forgot what day it was...

 

I finished Letter Quest Remastered! Finally got another one crossed off the list. I will now be bolding games I've completed, since Letter Quest is a nonplat. I also started the LEGO Ninjago game. LEGO movies/shows have never had a sense of humor I jive with, so I can tell it’s going to be a bit painful for me to work through this game. At least it was free and is supposed to be relatively short. I’m going to break it up with working on other games here and there between sessions of it. The goal this coming week is to finish either The Devil's Daughter or LEGO Ninjago and then immediately follow it up with Mr. Massagy. Once that one's out of the way, I'll finally be starting Ghost of Tsushima!

 

I’m probably going to wait until next week to do it, but I’m pretty much 100% on swapping Far Cry Classic. I’m too tired to put myself through the added stress of trying to deal with where I left off on top of the stress of my daily life.

Edited October 13, 2020 by Hiyo_Rain
kept messing up my own formatting ugh

[Crispy_Oglop]

A super tiny, super quick update from me to say that I'm absolutely loving Odin Sphere. It literally took me about 13 years to play it, but i'm there now and really enjoying it  Seems like a relatively straightforward platinum trophy too! I might also check out Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim after this.

 

I'll have more to say when i'm done properly (still have two more character stories to get through) but yeah, it's beautiful and a bit like playing a side-scrolling storybook RPG.

1.  Life is Strange 2 
2.  Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning 
3. Marvel’s Avengers: 73%
4. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: 0% > 24%
5. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
6. Watch Dogs: Legion

8. Cyberpunk 2077

It's only Tuesday and i'm already ready for the weekend. Hope everyone is getting through it okay and with minimal stress!

I decided to swap the arcade games with Gravity Rush 2 and God of War, both of which I’m very excited to have on my list.

In other news I’m taking a small break to get the plat in Hellblade (was to high a percentage to have in the event) as my 40th. After that I think I’m gonna work mostly on the Sypro series, which should be a lot of fun.

Played some more SpongeBob tonight and enjoyed myself. I wanted to keep going, but I also wanted to sleep.  I'm once again doing block/bomb grind for Super Bomberman R, but not to the extent I was before. I will get it at some point. However, that isn't on the list, so you can ignore that.  

 

I probably will be using some swaps soon since I want to focus more on my physical library than my digital one. I'm yet to decide exactly what, though. 

[JayDeLosDioses]

Hellow everybody, it's a me, Jay.

 

Using the Halloween sale to do something crazy!

I am adding to my list:

The Witcher 3 - Complete Edition

 

Some of you might remember that I've played Witcher 3 - GOTY in my first backlog challenge exactly a year ago.

For whatever reason the NA and EU version are called differentely and have extra trophy stacks, so a year and 10 days later...

 

Added bonus:

Getting the platinum or 100% for the NA version would also mean, that I've got the full set in 100% for the Witcher 3 base game, 100% for the Witcher 3 GOTY Edition and 100% for the Witcher 3 Complete Edition.

I know that a lot of people frown when people stack the same game multiple times on their profile, but it's for one of the greatest games of this generation (and it's not quick and easy )

@JayDeLosDioseswow! That is a task! How long does it take you to plat  the Witcher?

 

[JayDeLosDioses]

1 hour ago, gladiatorrrrrrr said:

@JayDeLosDioseswow! That is a task! How long does it take you to plat  the Witcher?

 

Around 120h for the GOTY - it was my third most played game of 2019 and therefore listed in the recap  

But that's with all DLC included, so maybe 70h - 80h for the plat alone. 

 

I've made my own little guide too, missing the DLCs though

But it includes:

• all quests
• what quests cancel out others
• all contracts (including the two I find easiest to do for Even Odds on Death March)
• what build I enjoyed playing the most
• breakdown of what raw materials are needed to craft gear / bombs and potions
• all gwent cards and NPCs
• good locations for the misc trophies

I've also been sloppy with the side quests a bit at the end, only listing the few you need to do for better gear

EDIT: However, I'm working on it again to include the second act of the game aswell. And somewhere down the road the DLC too.

 

For the quests and cards I've used a lot of the wiki and just put it down in my own words.

I like it more when I can change a guide while playing - either deleting what I've already done or simply adding my own expierence if I ever come back to a game again for whatever reason.

 

I've uploaded it to google drive, you can take a look if you want. 

Just keep in mind that I've made it for personal use only, so not everything might be clear to others

[Xenoblast91]

UPDATE 3.0.: Mid-month, so it’s report time! These have been unexpected busy days for me, since have 4 games to play simultaneously, got a new job and have a training program for a CrossFit competition that’s going to be next month in which I’ll be participating with a partner and the sessions have been insanely intense (this is another hobby of mine, which has helped me to stay in a very good shape, healthy and attentive for other areas in my life). But feel great overall! The month has been a mayhem in regards for PSN and their decision towards the platforms, and despite this is only the dawn for the upcoming PS5 I disagree with few of the corporate choices that Sony has made in these days. This is making me mad at moments but I remember that I must change my overview on that matter and focus better on playing, which is what bring us today here, of course!

 

Few objectives have been achieved since the progression for the games are slow rather than difficult (aside from 2; more of that in a moment). Been playing super causally Rocket League with some friends on and off, the trophies are pretty straight forward but since the game doesn’t figure in the main list and can’t consider it as a proper for the challenge but it is from a personal standpoint anyway. Although, few requires hours of play I guess they’ll come naturally, exactly as I like the trophies to be. Overall, I’ve got 51% on it, so there’s still other stuff to finish before I can tackle this game in its fullest.  

1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered – 0%➡100%
2. GTA V – 26%➡33%
3. Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 – 7%➡40%
4. Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer: Comrades – 0%
5. Final Fantasy VII [OG] – 0%
6. Lego Marvel’s Super Heroes 2 – 0%
7. Psychonauts – 0%
8. Doom Eternal – 0%
9. Star Wars Battlefront II – 0%
10. Cuphead – 0%

        Swaps used - 1/5: 
       Assassin's Creed Origins➡GTA V

 

Now, coming to the core of my progression, GTA Online has proved to be an experience. I can recall my fond memories playing GTA San Andreas back in the day, and this has revived my likeness for this saga. @Mihold which needs a special mention here, as he has giving me a significant hand with few of the trophies, since both of us are committed for the fully 100% of the game; we already beat the OG Heists and now we’re focusing on the Doomsday Heists. Also, he introduced me into a community crew in-game which are primarily concerned with grinding businesses for money, which was a huge boost in order to prepare ourselves for this indomitable task. However, 2 of the trophies in that DLC seem daunting (and truly are!): Elitist and Masterminds Challenges. The first, requires us to beat certain goals within the final mission on a series of levels called Acts, which are 3 in total. The second, refers to redo the whole DLC or Heists in order, on hard difficulty, with the same team, without dying and doing all preparation missions, without any skip and to top of it you must do it 3 times (one run with 2 people, second with 3 and the final with a team of 4). Well… Yes, sounds super tedious, and truly is. We screwed both on them but the good part (if any), is that we're becoming better on them. We just need to finish Act III, and we have memorized and mastered that part. Now, we must rerun the thing in the 2 team Challenge and try the Elitist in that run too. If not, we should wait for the other Mastermind run in order to achieve it. So guys, please: if you want to help us or know anyone interested in giving us a hand in regards this crazy challenge, I’ll greatly appreciate your help towards that. (Looking for committed players is a challenge in itself for sure.)

 

That was a huge rant or may be a good relief in this thing (what’ve done…).

 

Ok, on the other hand we have the Fourth Ninja War and the consequences it has for our beloved blond teenage thirsty for recognition and colossal willpower. I’ve been playing the Story Mode at parts, and the best thing is that is dubbed! I started watching the series in Latin Spanish when it came out in Cartoon Network in 2007 for North America, so I feel a huge punch of nostalgia in that matter. I have no idea in that time that the anime existed, so my first touch with it was directly through commercial TV, and I’m super glad that it happened that way. Now on the game itself, I managed to play to almost half of it but still few things left to do. However, as this challenge requires us to 100% a game, I’m hesitating to let the game only with the plat and wait until December if Sony cares to low down prices for DLCs since the only one for this game costs $20USD, an amount that I believe is unfair considering that it only gives you 3 trophies but a good deal if you like the game and want a true expansion that gives you a glimpse for the sequel of the series and enjoy the gameplay and features that the title provides you. I’m here for the trophies so yeah, isn’t a good deal to me at all. But I don’t know, what do you guys think?

 

When finishing all this chaos I expect to play something more relaxed, just to calm the nerve and help me to focus my real life stuff as this is demanding in every aspect. But aside that, I can stay firmly that I can do it and I’ll manage to beat finally this as the whole year I couldn’t and left many games incomplete, as TLOU stands in that way since August. Sigh. I hope to plat that one soon, or maybe not. Who knows? However, the list grows and grows, and since the wish list from PS Store is going to be removed, I used the feature here on PSN Profiles that allows you to track your wish lists and other games that you have in mind to finish. Oh! And I almost forget. I purchased a game that has been under the radar since the last year, and I want to try it: Ghostrunner. You know, cyberpunk fast-paced action packed with lots of blood while using a katana? Heck, and absolute yes, of course! So let’s see if I can add it or swap it for the other one listed here.

 

I think this has been the longest post I’ve ever written, so sorry for the long post and the time for this, but you’re not required to read the misadventures of this clumsy and sometimes unaware common dude, LOL.

 

Alright guys, Xenoblast91 over and out this time and see you in the next update! Happy to read the progress of all of you and wish you stay on the same vibe and tune! Blessings and happy hunting!

UPDATE 3.0.: Mid-month, so it’s report time! These have been unexpected busy days for me, since have 4 games to play simultaneously, got a new job and have a training program for a CrossFit competition that’s going to be next month in which I’ll be participating with a partner and the sessions have been insanely intense (this is another hobby of mine, which has helped me to stay in a very good shape, healthy and attentive for other areas in my life). But feel great overall! The month has been a mayhem in regards for PSN and their decision towards the platforms, and despite this is only the dawn for the upcoming PS5 I disagree with few of the corporate choices that Sony has made in these days. This is making me mad at moments but I remember that I must change my overview on that matter and focus better on playing, which is what bring us today here, of course!

 

Few objectives have been achieved since the progression for the games are slow rather than difficult (aside from 2; more of that in a moment). Been playing super causally Rocket League with some friends on and off, the trophies are pretty straight forward but since the game doesn’t figure in the main list and can’t consider it as a proper for the challenge but it is from a personal standpoint anyway. Although, few requires hours of play I guess they’ll come naturally, exactly as I like the trophies to be. Overall, I’ve got 51% on it, so there’s still other stuff to finish before I can tackle this game in its fullest.  

1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered – 0%100%
2. GTA V – 26%33%
3. Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 – 7%40%
4. Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer: Comrades – 0%
5. Final Fantasy VII [OG] – 0%
6. Lego Marvel’s Super Heroes 2 – 0%
7. Psychonauts – 0%
8. Doom Eternal – 0%
9. Star Wars Battlefront II – 0%
10. Cuphead – 0%

Now, coming to the core of my progression, GTA Online has proved to be an experience. I can recall my fond memories playing GTA San Andreas back in the day, and this has revived my likeness for this saga. @Mihold which needs a special mention here, as he has giving me a significant hand with few of the trophies, since both of us are committed for the fully 100% of the game; we already beat the OG Heists and now we’re focusing on the Doomsday Heists. Also, he introduced me into a community crew in-game which are primarily concerned with grinding businesses for money, which was a huge boost in order to prepare ourselves for this indomitable task. However, 2 of the trophies in that DLC seem daunting (and truly are!): Elitist and Masterminds Challenges. The first, requires us to beat certain goals within the final mission on a series of levels called Acts, which are 3 in total. The second, refers to redo the whole DLC or Heists in order, on hard difficulty, with the same team, without dying and doing all preparation missions, without any skip and to top of it you must do it 3 times (one run with 2 people, second with 3 and the final with a team of 4). Well… Yes, sounds super tedious, and truly is. We screwed both on them but the good part (if any), is that we're becoming better on them. We just need to finish Act III, and we have memorized and mastered that part. Now, we must rerun the thing in the 2 team Challenge and try the Elitist in that run too. If not, we should wait for the other Mastermind run in order to achieve it. So guys, please: if you want to help us or know anyone interested in giving us a hand in regards this crazy challenge, I’ll greatly appreciate your help towards that. (Looking for committed players is a challenge in itself for sure.)

 

That was a huge rant or may be a good relief in this thing (what’ve done…).

 

Ok, on the other hand we have the Fourth Ninja War and the consequences it has for our beloved blond teenage thirsty for recognition and colossal willpower. I’ve been playing the Story Mode at parts, and the best thing is that is dubbed! I started watching the series in Latin Spanish when it came out in Cartoon Network in 2007 for North America, so I feel a huge punch of nostalgia in that matter. I have no idea in that time that the anime existed, so my first touch with it was directly through commercial TV, and I’m super glad that it happened that way. Now on the game itself, I managed to play to almost half of it but still few things left to do. However, as this challenge requires us to 100% a game, I’m hesitating to let the game only with the plat and wait until December if Sony cares to low down prices for DLCs since the only one for this game costs $20USD, an amount that I believe is unfair considering that it only gives you 3 trophies but a good deal if you like the game and want a true expansion that gives you a glimpse for the sequel of the series and enjoy the gameplay and features that the title provides you. I’m here for the trophies so yeah, isn’t a good deal to me at all. But I don’t know, what do you guys think?

 

When finishing all this chaos I expect to play something more relaxed, just to calm the nerve and help me to focus my real life stuff as this is demanding in every aspect. But aside that, I can stay firmly that I can do it and I’ll manage to beat finally this as the whole year I couldn’t and left many games incomplete, as TLOU stands in that way since August. Sigh. I hope to plat that one soon, or maybe not. Who knows?

I know that a lot of people frown when people stack the same game multiple times on their profile, but it's for one of the greatest games of this generation (and it's not quick and easy ) 

 

I think anyone who judges harshly for stacking a game you truly love needs to go mind their own business and go play their own games.  It's your profile and if you love the game that much, then stack away!  Since I'm sure those games are also not cross buy, that to me is just showing further support for a game you love.  I honestly think many people on this site are overly judgemental about other people's profiles and it honestly disgusts me that people do this so much when the most important thing is that we should all be having fun.

 

Anyway, update for me!

 

1. Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki

2. Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (releases 10/27 in NA) 0 out of 53 trophies

3. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (57%) 40 out of 55 trophies

4. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (11%) 8 out of 38 trophies

5. Marenian Tavern Story (0%) 0 out of 50 trophies

6. Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk (0%) 0 out of 58 trophies

7. Alphadia Genesis

8. Liege Dragon (79%) 30 out of 34 trophies

9. Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition (0%) 0 out of 15 trophies

10. Cat Quest II (0%) 0 out of 20 trophies

 

138 out of 383 trophies earned.  2 out of 10 games completed

1/5 swaps

 

Finally wrapped up Alphadia Genesis.  That was definitely more of a tedious plat than it really should have been.  Kemco definitely seems to be stepping up their game because Alphadia Genesis and Liege Dragon both were far from easy and straightforward plats.  Liege Dragon is fun enough, but it's actually a pretty decent challenge.  You actually do need to spend some time building up your characters well and coming up with solid strategy to beat the bosses.  As of now I've beaten it and gotten the normal ending plus the three character endings.  There are two more endings remaining that require doing some extra dungeons that are really challenging.

 

Decided to go ahead and add Cat Quest II to the list as well for another short and fun one to knock out.

Well yes, but actually no. 

 

By you saying people lifting in the bad form, I can agree with that. CrossFit itself is a brand, but the techniques used in the training itself come from powerlifting, weightlifting, calisthenics, aerobic training, acrobatics and plyometrics. Has an array of methods, but I myself suffer from a bad positioning while an exercise called "Power Clean". There are 3 critical positions in doing so, and in the 2nd I tend to lift a little bit my hips while that shouldn't happen, which can cause an injury on my lower back. But that's why you require technique and that's why many people don't grasp about it.

 

With respect to the poorly executed pull ups, again there's a technique for that. You need to do a kipping movement in order to develop that exercise. I can agree that it can have an impact on your tendons and muscles, but since you can train slowly to that point you shouldn't worry about it. The secret in everything is progression. That's the only way you can improve. At the box I'm attending there's so rookies now that the coaches must take care that they're doing the exercises according to their skills and so. 

 

LOL no, of course! I've been doing this since 2 years now almost 3 in fact, so no worries. I'm glad that I can explain this to you, and if you're curious about this please don't hesitate to ask any other questions about it!

another Friday , another update.

 

Vampyr

Finished the game last weekend. What a joy! Good and unexpected ending. As it is with Plus this month I would recommend everybody do try it out. It is really not a hard game, some (mini) bosses may take a couple of tries but other than that it is very doable, also on the non-embrace run. I was lvl 25 which is a couple of levels below the last boss and managed to take her down in 4 tries. Platinum 99 in the pocket!

 

Hitman 2

Finished the Isle of Sgail DLC and have begun working on the Himmelstein DLC. That is the last one before I need to do all DLC of Hitman 1 as this is it included in this one. It is a long stretch but still enjoying the game a lot.

 

AC Chronicles (PSvita)

Made my way through the first two memories (which I already did couple of years ago) , this game will take me a long time to complete as it is essentially 3 games in one.

 

Current status:

 

As Vampyr was my 99 Platinum I decided t make BF1 my 100. I spend most of my gaming time with any BF, bit of an addiction. So not part of this challenge but I am working my way first to do this platinum before moving on with the others.

 

Good luck with the trophy hunt!

Finally something consistent : one platinum done!

 

1. One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 -  achieved

2. Trine : Enchanted Edition - 12%

3. Diablo III : Reaper of Souls - 3%

4. Naruto : Ultimate Ninja Storm - 3%

5. Shadow of the Colossus - 2%

6. Far Cry Primal - 2%  -> 18%

7. Middle-earth : Shadow of Mordor (PS3)- 8%

8. BioShock Infinite(PS3) - 1%

 

One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 - completed the absolute worst one from my list. Not going to describe again why I hated this game, you can find it under my profile or under my checklist. I do not want to be King of the Pirates anymore X_X 

Far Cry Primal - I started the unga bunga simulator and...it's pretty fun. Not the best Far Cry out there, the story is pretty stone age level (heh) but I can't deny that I love taming animals and petting the good bois. Doesn't look like an awful grind either, compared to...well...the rest of the Far Cry games.

 

[JayDeLosDioses]

Platinum #455 

The Age of Extinction  - Nexomon: Extinction

 

I'd say Nexomon is the best pokémon clone out there so far.

It's a enjoyable 50h platinum with a surprisingly "low" rariity of 21%.

There's nothing hard in the game, just a bit of RNG when hunting for the legendaries.

But you'll have a catch rate of at least 60% for each, so that little bit of running around is still quicker than the 100 ball's I've thrown at that stupid shiny Zapdos that doesn't even look good  ... 

 

Anyway onto the next:

Witcher 3 - Complete Edition

 

First of all: I'm a moron and forgot to edit in the link to the document I've wanted to share about Witcher 3, so here it is.

Witcher 3 "Guide" - most of the things are already written either in guides on PSNP or other parts of the world wide web. 

Feel free to comment / suggest anything you want.

 

There's a "walktrough" in it, that has half of the quests ordered in a way that you can't miss a single one, I've got lazy after working a few weeks on it tbh, but every quest with a missable trophy tied to it is already included.

Currently working on a good route to pick up all Gwent cards, races and brawls without going out of my way too much while doing other quests.

 

I've also already picked up the first 5 trophies for the game:

Kaer Morhen Trained / What Was That? / Fist of the South Star / Let's Cook! / Power Overwhelming

   - Work on the Spyro Trilogy starting with the first game. 

   - * Plat Ghost of Tsushima on milestone trophy. Recent DLC has changed the overall percentage of the game, however I still use the percentage on just the base game.

Update #4 | Trophies earned: 30/161 | Swaps used: 1/5 |

1. God of War - 37/37 - 100% 
2. Ghost of Tsushima - 0/52 - 0%
3. Until Dawn - 4/19 - 14%
4. Doom  17/55 - 21%
5. The Last of Us Part II - 2/28 - 2%

Progress is almost non-existent. I’ve played all kinds of games that are not on the list.

God of War is done! And that’s it. I’ve been grinding the multiplayer for Far Cry 2, and got the platinum in Glass Masquerade. A not too hard but nice looking puzzle game. I’ve started MotoGP19 and MediEvil, both not on my list... I have considered swapping some titles out and I might replace Until Dawn with MediEvil but I’ll have another thought about it before I actually do. MediEvil is going to be platinum #199 so if and when I do finish it, it’s time to start Ghost of Tsushima.

 

Keep it going and have fun everyone!
