Injustice - Platinum Trophy
Straight off the back of the rage and frustration I felt getting all 720 stars on S.T.A.R. Labs I went immediately onto the final trophy Ultimate Battler.
I'm sure many of you who have earned or attempted this trophy will know that the first 17 battles don't cause too many problems, maybe a few retries and some challenging moments.....and then you hit battle 18 - The Max - and it's like hitting a wall at 60mph, it stops you dead in your tracks.
You realise you are really going to have to pay attention.
The Max
Day 1 - Defeated 3 of 10 opponents - more luck than anything else, I was still trying to find a groove and accept this isn't just going to happen without concentration and practice
Day 2 - Defeated 2 of 10 opponents - realising yesterday was more of a fluke, I just want this trophy and be done, my head isn't in the right place for this, S.T.A.R. Labs has lowered my tolerance and frustration has taken over
Day 3 - Defeated 2 of 10 opponents - I've done with this game, I don't want it anymore, it isn't worth the hassle, I can accept that I'm not going to get the platinum. I take the disc out, put it back in its case and back on the shelf. I'll start Mega Man 11 tomorrow instead
Day 4 - My brain doesn't allow it. I put the disc back in and everything has changed. I'm watching what my opponents are doing, realising that at times they are going to completely destroy my health meter, that's just the way it is, but stay calm and keep going. I end the evening defeating 6 of 10 opponents and now it actually feels possible
Day 5 - All 10 of 10 opponents defeated - I'd been getting consistently to 5 but then I suddenly went from 6 defeated to all 10. The adrenaline when it was over was insane, I was shaking for at least 15 minutes afterwards, it just all came together.
Here were my opponents:
1 - Doomsday
2 - The Joker
3 - Black Adam
4 - Sinestro
5 - Harley Quinn
6 - Lex Luthor
7 - Zod
8 - Catwoman
9 - Superman
10 - Green Lantern
Impossible
I got this on around my 4th serious attempt, it really wasn't so bad, but wow did it come down to the wire on Battle 23 against Ares
Fortunately Battle 24 was against Cyborg, but what an ending, not only did I beat him, I got a perfect round
Finally this one is done. I never want to see this game again.
I'd just like to say a thank you to @Sergen, your videos really helped

Yeah that's pretty much the same order in terms of difficulty for me. Batwoman was very moody, one fight I just perfected her ass and the next one when she appeared she just blitzed around without managing to catch her. She has some broken AI for sure.
And yes, the only reason why this game has such low percentage is because it's a DC game and it was given free at some point, many people played it but never bothered to complete it (for good reason).
For sure, SSF4 is way tougher than this game. But even if it is tougher, it felt amazing to pull those moves and finally figure out the combos. In Injustice, I just wanted it to be done
Never would have expected to jump like Super Mario over barrels in a fighting game...

Ah that explains a lot if it was given away for free, on saying that 1902 platinum achievers for SSF4 and 421 for Injustice.
I guess frustration puts people off long before difficulty.
Almost forgot about levelling to 100, I feel bad for anyone that doesn't have an arcade stick, turbo button and an old shoe.

Injustice - World's Finest - Complete All S.T.A.R. Lab Missions with 3 Stars
One of the most stressful, frustrating and rage inducing trophies I've worked on in years. So much of it down to luck, forget all the difficult ones listed in the guide, it was fighting Lex that sent me over the edge. When the trophy popped I got no satisfaction at all, I instead just stuck my middle finger up at it, turned it off and went to bed.
It's made me realise I don't have the hunger anymore to put myself through this like I have in the past, it just isn't worth it.

@Copanele Ultimate Battler is the final trophy for me - I am interested to see how this works out. If you say it's decent then maybe this will be a nice way to end the game.
Up to now this game has been one long frustrating experience. Trophies like "Feel The Burn" and "Metahuman". Also trophies like "Around and Around We Go" which is a great title as going "around and around" in circles is exactly what I was doing for all three of these trophies trying to figure out which one I'd missed.
I remember going through every character god knows how many times only to discover that I'd input the buttons to one of Banes moves incorrectly, but the incorrect move looked exactly as the move described, I think that was for Metahuman.
On top of that the game crashes if it's been on for any length of time, so I've finished Star Missions before and the buttons to quit out had disappeared, I had to force shut the game down which meant I lost the stars I'd just earned. That happened around 10 times. Also for "Top Rung", after I'd completed every character the trophy hadn't popped, I went into the menu to discover that Cyborg hadn't registered, even though I'd done it. Maybe that was an instance as well where the game crashed, can't remember. I'm just thankful there was an option in the menu to see which ones were left.
Anyway thought I'd get that off my chest.
In a few games time I'll be onto Injustice 2 where I paid £4.99 to do a special move for one character trophy that took less than 2 minutes.
I'm done with this franchise.

Just letting you know, what I also experienced during the "beautiful" time with this piece of tra--game.
If, at any point, you observe a lag spike OR you see that the game is loading endlessly before finally continuing to work (like 5 minutes stuck in a loading screen), don't bother continuing. It's an online/offline bug and your progress won't be recorded until you restart the game.
Had that happening to me in the nastiest arcade mode when I was going for Ultimate Battler so I had to do it all over again.

Thanks for the heads up @Copanele. I will certainly keep an eye out for this bonus feature
