Dunno who that is but they have a great username!

Yeah I edited it. Was too restrictive. It’s now about finishing games! Whatever they are whatever platform it is. Rule 1 is just giving advice.

If games from any system count, and it goes to thread inception, I might have a couple.

Things I assume need to be backlogged already, so me getting and finishing COD Vanguard's campaign this week isn't gonna count for anything.

Looks like from thread inception, from the backlog, earlier this month I cleared out: Fell Seal, Dragon Quest VI Remake. Problem is I don't have timestamps or end screens for beating them because they're Switch and phone respectively. So I'm basically on the honor system here. Might be easier for me to just start from zero and stick to the systems with trophies and post them here.

New Terminator DLC on Dec 2 and new EQ expansion on Dec 10 so I'll be busy, but I'm gonna try to call a couple shots for backlog and do them. If this challenge was in January I'd get way more into it because I have a bunch of things to play before Elden Ring.

Switch literally has a physical screenshot button tho?

Right but don't you need timestamps for it to qualify? I could post the shots from the Switch game and the phone game plus their "date taken" info or something.

Achievement should have a time stamp from when it was earned, such this here entry to the contest.

Yeah, but that doesn't help with Switch unfortunately.

I'll stick to PS4 for the challenge, cause it'll be easiest to validate via PSN profile later.

Deciding between Ys: Memories of Celceta, Amalur Re-Reckoning, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, and Code Vein for the next backlog item to clear.

I've been trying really hard to get into Jedi: Fallen Order because I've got a file about halfway through it and I like the game a LOT in theory, but for whatever reason every time I resume it I just sort of fall off quickly. I think it might be the awful map (see also why I gave up on Control). I wander around lost for a few minutes, go "why am I playing this" and shut it off.

Do Switch achievements not have the timestamp at all?

I don't think Switch even has achievements of any kind. Best you can do is a picture of the screen with today's date next to it or something like that.

Replayed Hades on PS5, here's trophy proof.

For the second game I'm trying to finish Code Vein. Definitely not making this easy on myself!

Would you believe I've never played the HD versions / remakes of Resident Evil 0, 1, and 2 despite having all of them for years? That might be my next thing to take a swing at if I get past Code Vein. The toughest part will be getting past the subpar RE Zero. I could just skip it, but no, I've completed everything from 3 onward and have to finish the series.

Wrapped Dark Souls 2 and 3. If I can actually bring myself to play another game I’ll add timestamps but those two took it out of me for now. Great games

I do think we should keep this thread going. It’s a great motivator.
