I just wrapped up the platinum and all the DLC trophies in The Surge. I was interested in the idea of a Sci-fi souls like and it delivered well in that regard. The game is much smaller then any of the souls games though and the level design is much more convoluted. Hopefully they fix some of those issues in the second one.

100% the trophies for The Adventures of Pip. That was a fun lighthearted romp.
Gah so many of the achievements are broken in the red faction remaster. Especially multiplayer ones, they tracked at first but now my stats aren't updating and neither are the achievements registering progress. Bizzarely one single player achievement is broken, vehicles destroyed, while other single player stuff is fine.
When DOOM first released it had a ton of tracking bugs related to quitting the game. Basically you had to just leave the game on /system in rest mode. It took them way to long to patch those bugs. Fortunately by the time I got to it they had fixed them but I would have been pretty pissed. I also make wildly liberal use of backing my saves up to the cloud and a USB drive.
Finally got my monster hunter world platinum. Awesome game and we worth playing but Capcom adding the giant RNG grind of collecting crowns into the game was am asshole move. Final play time was 212 hours but only about 40 of that was actively going after trophies. Next up is Nier Automata. I am undecided on whether I want to use the trophy store. Have to wait until I get into the game and see how much fun I am having.

Hate to say it, but the crowns thing has been around a while. The achievements in prior games just weren't linked to console accounts and only showed up in-game.

Oh I know, this is not my first monster hunter. Had about 400 hours of playtime before this one came out. I don't have a problem with crowns, I have a problem with crown trophies.
stupid goddamn motiga and their bullshit penta achievement. >\
this is so agitating. I should not have to feel like I need to people on my goddamn team to "let me finish the enemies off" for an achievement or feel that they are "stealing" my kills.
this is the antithesis of team play. ugh.

I'm very slowly working on my Monster Hunter plat...but me and a buddy have promised only to play through it together...so it's very slow going because we are both parents with full time jobs. We play once every couple weeks.
In other words, I'm never getting that plat. :P
In better news though, I'm working on finishing Fez, Telltale Batman, and Citizens of Earth. I am on a indie/smaller game kick at the moment. One of these days soon I need to take a crack at the dlc for FF XV.
I'm in a monthly leaderboard race with a long-ago former roommate. I have no idea if I'll ever match or exceed his gamer score, but I have beaten him on the leaderboards for the last several months.
He's bringing out all the stops now. We're halfway through, and he has 3500 new gamerscore. I'm ~400 behind him. I'm really, really hoping he already burned "blew his load" (for whatever reason, I can't think of a better way to describe this) and will only see modest increases for the rest of the month (he got ~1400 in one 48 hour period), because it's starting to break me.

Knocked out two yesterday.
I 100% Fez. Not sure why it took me this long to play Fez, but man was it a fun ride. Clever puzzles, with the exception of the anti-cubes that required you to learn button prompts by learning the made up language of the game. Those were terrible, but the rest was aces.
I also got the plat for Minit. This game was pretty great and a neat concept.
So... if you have still have Gigantic, or can you install Gigantic for like 5 minutes (Xbox or Windows 10 version) and help me knock out an achievement, I will seriously gift you a $5 dollar xbox live gift card code.
I need 9 people. I'd like to do this today/asap.

Don't have an Xbox but I am curious as to the urgency. Any particular reason you want it done so badly? Also I finally made it past the first boss in Gauntlet slayer edition on hard so I am making progress there again. Nier automata is also really fucking good in case anyone didn't know.

The servers for Gigantic close on July 31st. I have been trying to get a penta via playing Gigantic normally since its launch... it's the last achievement I need to complete it., and I've simply run out of will to try and get it naturally. I want to do it today or this weekend because I genuinely annoyed at this game. The sooner the better. On an infinite timeline I imagine it possible (there are players who just started playing that got this achievement), but yeah.
My matchmaking rank is high enough for the circumstances to get a penta kill (kill five players within 15 seconds of each other) to be extraordinarily unlikely, and since I have to compete with my team to get the kills... it's just... the worst. This is the achievement/thing that I have ranted about how much it sucks and is counter to teamplay, etc, since launch.
It really just boils down to luck. I have 433 double kills, 54 triple kills and 9 quanta kills (with 7 of those 9 being failed pentas - couldn't find any enemies, missed a shot, a teammate got the killing blow... the worst of these being the 9th, where I got an enemy player down to a sliver of health, my dot would have killed him and a player on his team healed him... it's just the worst.

Oh. Yeah I avoid multiplayer games like that for this very reason. Like I might go back and clean up some of my trophies for smite but getting the platinum is definitely not something I will actively try for.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of multiplayer games/achievements at all... and Gigantic is only game that's just a competitive game that I've played this long. I really liked it.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Have you tried going to TA and setting up or joining a session? If the servers are shutting down, there might be a bunch of people trying to do the same thing.
They're not going for that achievement specifically. I do have a post up there asking for help, the only session that's up right now is this continuous comeback / grind to level 100 farming one that starts at 2300 and runs 3 hours. I've done everything they're trying to do legit too so it's just... bleh.
It's also full.

Did you manage to snag that cheevo yet? I just got my Nier: Automata platinum today bringing me up to a nice round 70. Given the immense amount of content that just dropped in No Man's Sky I am actually about to hop back in one it finished patching. Seems like a good a time as any to finally earn the platinum I started at release.
I'm available tomorrow to help Donuts, have you tried the Xbox LFG feature as well?

Night in the Woods has a cheevo for performing well in its three 'guitar hero' sections. The game is about 8 hours long, the sections can't be replayed if you goof, and there's an autosave at the end of the scene so you can't rewind. The first two songs are easy to perfect and the third is not. There's a practice section in your bedroom where you can play songs to git gud ahead of time, but turns out it's probably glitches and will void the achievement!
There's also a cheevo for bombing on all three that I don't have yet either! Barf!
They actually bought Gigantic back up yesterday so people can play it before shutting it down again but I still couldn't pop it, nor could I find a group to cheese the achievement.
Which I kind of think is a better outcome because the asterisk in my mind would have annoyed me more than the failure to get the achievement does.
Was such a dumb achievement requirement. Meh.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Just got my first platinum in apparently a while. Dead cells which is a rogue lite similar to rogue legacy. Slightly easier but very enjoyable. I am over 77% completion now. Honestly I was shooting for a steady 75 but as I close in on 80 I am starting to want to shoot for it.
Have to say I'm in a weird place with achievements too.
I technically got my most recent base-game completion with Everspace since I started playing that again with the DLC.
I'm still working on We Happy Few, Destiny 2, Dynasty Warriors 9, The Division, and started Defiance 2050... that's a lot of games starting with "D" too.
Fortunately Defiance 2050 has a broken 50 dailies achievement, so I don't have to prioritize playing it that much. Other games I think I'm playing too but not sure.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
I just hate my internet connection. Can't keep a stable connection so I find myself sticking to games I already have 100% (at least for single player).
I am hopping around a bit myself. Started Destiny 2 with my friend but I have no intention of getting the platinum, might go for most of the trophies that are not too crazy. Still working on agents of mayhem, which is much more fun then the sales figures would lead you to believe. I also am playing a bit of darkest dungeon every now and then but the devs keep patching the game for the worse which is sapping my drive.

Got my agents of mayhem platinum. Probably going to get my buddies copy of Spiderman since it is a relatively short platinum.
After the most recent patch one could revive people back again, so that the “revive 50 people” hurdle could be take again. I also pushed through the 50 multiplayer games, because wow, that is one laggy online game.
I really don’t like online trophies, because you never know how succesful a game’ll be...
I'm in a monthly leaderboard race with a long-ago former roommate. I have no idea if I'll ever match or exceed his gamer score, but I have beaten him on the leaderboards for the last several months.
He's bringing out all the stops now. We're halfway through, and he has 3500 new gamerscore. I'm ~400 behind him. I'm really, really hoping he already burned "blew his load" (for whatever reason, I can't think of a better way to describe this) and will only see modest increases for the rest of the month (he got ~1400 in one 48 hour period), because it's starting to break me.
So, after overcoming said former-roommate by an uncomfortably small margin, he pretty much phoned it in for two or three months, once having barely 150 G for a whole month.
But the giant has risen again--he's at 415. Yesterday he was at half that, and I sprinted past him finishing Assemblance (which fortunately was one of those weird AR viral games that I had always been curious about anyway) for an easy 1000/1000, excluding the slightly tricky final 100 points that required a stopwatch to execute properly. However, since I seldom make much headway during the week, I'm 15 gamerscore behind him (and despite returning to Shadow of War, I doubt I'm making much headway in that game). Shadow of the Tomb Raider has seen a very slow but relatively steady trickle of points since I started playing it (plus I think it's an excellent title on its own so far, easily one of the best games of the year), but I do have an emergency option for an easy 1000 G standing by if I need it from the more competitive days.
Thought I wrote a post about this already but evidently I did not. A while back, I ran into the suspend breaks achievements bug in Dynasty Warriors 9, so I was unable to get the one for unlocking all the characters. Having put over 100 hours into the game, I didn't want to restart everything, plus I had progression on the other achievements (Koei bakes their platinum trophy into their achievement lists in their games).
I tried to offline rush through and unlock all the characters, and that didn't work. So... I emailed Koei support. They were surprisingly helpful, and ultimately wound up patching the game (and telling me when it would be patched) and the achievement popped. Now I just have to finish the rest of the achievements. But I've basically just been tooling around in Destiny 2 and Defiance 2050 at this point.

Awesome for the patch. Can't say I expected that of koei. I am finally finishing up Gauntlet slayer edition which is just the grindiest of grind. Just two more left and I can park it forever. Also a buddy insisted I start ghost recon wildlands and now I have to finish it so hopefully it is an easy platinum.
Yes indeed. And I am about an hour away from my platinum. Honestly I thought it would be more like gauntlet dark legacy which is one of my favorite games.
Edit : And platinum get. Maybe 70 hours total because of all the damn grinding. Plus that is my biggest gap so far between starting a game and getting the platinum.
I guess I kind of missed it, but apparently there was a nifty little music licensing fuckery with GTAIV. A bunch of stuff was removed because Rockstar only licensed them for ten years and that ran due in April.
It's the usual kind of shame in that you paid for it, now get fucked. Why bring it up? Well, I don't think I'll be getting 100% on the game, ever. If you don't connect to XBL, you won't be prompted for an update (which is apparently 6+GB and FUCK. THAT. NOISE.) and you get to keep the content. I can live with that since I got all the singleplayer datestamps. But man, that's some bullshit right there.
huh, that only applies to the digital version, right? I mean the music would still be on disc?
I've been playing Ashen and Rebel Galaxy. Enjoying both so far. Ashen has a bunch of achievements worth 17 points though... namely, most of them. It's such a weird choice.
