Need for Speed: Most Wanted On PS3 - Part 4 - The Final Part - Backlog Conquering


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PlayStation 3 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I was surprised that there were no major copyright issues with the music, except for a couple of countries. So not only enjoy the racing but also enjoy the music. You can see in the top left, when the track changes, what song is playing.

I did it, i beat all of the Top 10 Most Wanted drivers. i think i thought it was going to be harder than it actually was. some of the other racing i had done across these 4 parts, to earn upgrades and points, had been more difficult than beating the Top 10. for a couple of drivers, it was more difficult to take them down after the race had finished. I did have fun and i enjoyed just going around and looking for cars, billboards to smash, and gates to break through.

What i'll do for next week is a video showing how i beat all 10 of the Most Wanted drivers in a race. taking them out afterwards is more difficult to edit into a video, but the races are fine. i'll cut out the mistakes, they're in these 4 parts if people want to see them.

I continued looking out for cars to drive, secrets to find, and of course challenging the Most Wanted. I managed to beat all of them up to Most Wanted 2, so i finished this part with a car i hoped would be fast enough to challenge the final 2 Most Wanted drivers in the next part. The Porsche Concept i spent most of this video driving was not that bad, just not a lot of colors. And of course, i made some silly mistakes and had some bad luck with the local drivers!

Need for Speed: Most Wanted On PS3 - Part 2 - Backlog Conquering


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PlayStation 3 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Due to music copyright issues, there maybe times in the video when there is no sound due to it having to be muted. if this is the case, i'll turn the music off in Part 2 and we'll just have car sounds instead.

My goal for this part was to try and win some of the Most Wanted races. By the end of the video i had won races 10, 9, 8, and 7 but it wasn't straightforward. the Alfa Romeo in 10 was difficult because when i won the race the car crashed before i could take it out. it never respawned into action so i had to do the race again until i won and then i shut it down just before it took itself out once again! Race 7 was against a Lexus and whilst i won it i wasn't able to shut it down so it appears throughout this video as a black symbol on the map and appears now and then.

For me, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a PlayStation Plus game that i got a long time ago. i've never played the PlayStation 3 version of the game but i do have it on PlayStation Vita and have played it quite a bit on there. So this may not be a series of videos where i complete the game, but i'm going to race around and get cars for a few videos.

Puppeteer On PS3 - Part 8 - The Final Part - Backlog Conquering


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PlayStation 3 game Puppeteer. this game came out in 2013 and was developed internally by Studio Japan. this game can be played in 3D and with PlayStation Move controllers, but for this series i'm playing with the DualShock 3.

This is the final part, this is the whole of Act 7 and the credits. whilst this is the longest video i did for this game, i wouldn't say this was the most difficult Act. i died a few times but it never took long to make progress. it was nice having some older mechanics come back and i liked how, in the final boss fight, the combined my attacks and the cinematic QTE attacks into something more seamless. I wasn't surprised by the character reveal at the end, i assumed it was the case, but it was nice to unlock one final head just before the credits.

This was a mix bag kinda part. the first curtain call was tough with platforming that kept changing, for example sometimes you had to move quickly whilst other times you had to wait. The boss fight wasn't too bad. the other two curtain calls weren't as tough but the cut race section was still frustrating. But the story kept me going and i liked the kinda twist at the end. the next part could be the final part and i'm excited to play it!

Puppeteer On PS3 - Part 6 - Backlog Conquering

Our new game is the #PlayStation3 game Puppeteer. this game came out in 2013 and was developed internally by Studio Japan. this game can be played in 3D and with PlayStation Move controllers, but for this series i'm playing with the DualShock 3.

it'd been a few weeks since i last played this game, as my copy is from PlayStation Plus and my subscription ran out, but thankfully it didn't take too long to remember the basic controls. during the first curtain call i didn't even loose a life. But that doesn't mean this part was easy. i don't think i quite understood the first Dog boss fight and a couple of times i found it difficult to do an accurate slam attack. Thankfully, the story continues to be fun and i really am enjoying it as well as the gameplay.

Another new Act and another new location, this time a Wild West kinda place. In previous parts i was getting a little frustrated with the platforming in the game as it's not quite great. there was less of that here as we were introduced to some new powers, some new mechanics with those powers, and a particularly fun top down racing sequence that took me longer than i'm proud of to fully grasp how to play. the style of boss fight in this part was similar to that in Part 4, but the final boss fight and QTE finish was interesting.

The location in this part was fun and unique. playing on a ship has been done before, but not quite like this. the same with inside a whale, under the sea, and on an island. the bosses in this part were different to what has come before, too. instead of one and done, they were a persistent threat throughout. the only thing holding back the game is how the platforming isn't quite as good as i'd want. but so far it's been a lot of fun.

the first two parts cover the first act of the game. in this part i decided to see how long a video would be if i did the whole of an act so this is Act 2. as ever, it was just fun to watch the story unfold. i did find some of the platforming a little awkward. it's not quite as satisfying as i would like. thankfully, the combat and puzzle element to the game is good. the boss fights here are all very different from each other and just as fun. they're not overly complicated but still quite epic to be part of.

In this part i finished the first act. it seems like each act is broken into 3 parts. in Part 1 i finished the first part of the act so in this part is completed the Act. Puppeteer is very watchable. it's so easy to watch, the characters are easy to hear, i'm really having a great time with the story. we got a lot more of the story in this video revealing that maybe one of our goals is to save 4 individuals.

This Part is perhaps a little shorter than what the other parts will be. this video focuses on the first part of the first act of the game, basically it reveals the story and gives us a tutorial. it makes a fantastic first impression. it may not be 1080p, but the art style and the presentation with the stage are fantastic. it's all go at the start of the game so for quite a lot i'm quiet as i'm also trying to take it all in. i've never played this game before and after this fun first part, i'm interested to see where it goes next.

James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod - #PS1 Classic On #PS3 - Part 2 - I Had Enough


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PlayStation Classic version of James Pond 2: Codename: RoboCod played on PlayStation 3.

I think 2 parts is enough for me to have an opinion about this game. i said it in the video that if i had this on Mega Drive there's a good chance i would sit and play it because we had few other games. but nowadays there are plenty of other games i could play. i wasn't really enjoying the graphics, music, art style and level design! basically, there was very little about this game i was actually enjoying. i will keep it installed and keep the save file, so never say never, but for now i'm done.

Backlog Conquering - ToeJam & Earl On PS3 - Part 5


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PS3 version of ToeJam & Earl. this version came out in 2012 as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and was developed by M2. Prior to this playthrough, i hadn't played ToeJam & Earl before but on Mega Drive i had played ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. 

Part 4 ended with me dying and realising that i hadn't saved since i reached the previous level. that meant the first thing i had to do in this video was to, once again, complete the stage and take the elevator up. thankfully, this didn't take too long. i got the ship part and found the elevator up in just a few minutes. Stage 16 went even easier, especially considering it killed me in the last part, with the elevator going up being found quickly. But 17 took around 20 minutes to finish. i had some of the worst luck with enemy placement and random exits. i made an attempt at 18 in this part but once again i didn't have any luck so called it a day.

i lasted around 4 minutes into playing Part 4 before i had to reload the save. i'm grateful that this feature is here as ToeJam & Earl continues to be a tough game. i don't know if there's an element of randomness about the game or if everything was specifically placed there by the developers. for example, i would get stuck dancing, hit by a cherub arrow, all the while trying to doge the mole. another example would be the tomato firing ducks being placed in areas where there isn't much space to avoid them. By saving and reloading i am making progress and getting ship pieces, but there are times when it feels like i have little or no luck.

Part 3 was tougher than i thought it would be. i just couldn't get past the 8th stage! i'd get there and end up getting knocked down, over and over again! i was having some bad luck with the enemies as well, especially with the bees, they'd chase me down and even knocked me off a stage. so in this part, not much progress was made but i did get another piece of my ship!

Part 1 was mostly me learning what the game is. i knew that it was different to ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, i just didn't know how. after that video, i understand better what it is i need to do and how to play it. So in Part 2 i set out to find all my spaceship parts. i made quicker progress this time and still found new power-ups. I'm also saving more during this playthrough. i haven't edited that out of this video so let me know in the comments if you'd prefer that i cut when i save in future parts.

Backlog Conquering - ToeJam & Earl On PS3 - Part 1


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game, now that Anthem is finished, is the PS3 version of ToeJam & Earl. this version came out in 2012 as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and was developed by M2. I have not played ToeJam & Earl before but on Mega Drive i have played ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. Going in to this, i knew that the two games were different, i just didn't know how different they actually were.

So this part is mostly me exploring what ToeJam & Earl is. i try out all the buttons, make mistakes and learn from them. i mostly worked out what to do and how to play it. unfortunately, i did die but i hope to take everything i learned in this part and make a proper go of it from Part 2.

Backlog Conquering - Anthem On PS4 - Part 11 - The Final Part


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the #PlayStation4 version of #Anthem. i have previously played around 5 hours of this game back in 2019, but i stopped playing once EA announced they weren't going to update the game. The main reason for picking up Anthem now is that the game servers are going to be turned off on January 12th 2026. I started recording these videos before the servers were taken down so from Part 5 onwards, these will go live on YouTube AFTER the servers have been shut down. You can't play Anthem anymore as the game doesn't have an off-line mode, it was online only.

Backlog Conquering - Anthem On PS4 - Part 10


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

You can't play Anthem anymore as the game doesn't have an off-line mode, it was online only.

Unfortunately, this is more like Part 10 B. i lost the first part of this video when my recorder crashed. so at the start of this video i do try to explain what happened in the story up to when this video starts. i recorded this the late into the day Anthem's servers were going to close. i had hoped this would be the final part, but right at the end the game forced me to do yet another quest once again delaying my progress. I do end this part at the point of no return where i can choose to do the end game. but you'll have to come back and see if i had enough time for one more part or if this was my final Anthem video.
