Hello new here and very excited

[Wildcat0728]

Hello to everyone who decide to read my introduction! Very grateful. My name is Alex and I have been a serious gamer for nearly four years now and platinum hunter for about a year.
 

I have played games since I was little, you know the normal Mario game on NES, but was never serious about it. I mostly grew up playing Zelda games and NBA games for Nintendo systems. My parents refused to get Playstation or XBox. They didn’t like violent games. But honestly I never really cared. I used to get motion sickness playing games, something I found out while playing Perfect Dark for the N64. So that sucked. So I just avoided most games.

 

However, one day I played The Last of Us Remastered, nothing crazy, just in Normal mode ... but I didn’t get sick and the story was just amazing, it changed my whole perspective of games. I was hooked. In 2017 I started to play a ton of games on the PS4: Shadow of Mordor, Batman trilogy, Uncharted series, Bioshock trilogy, Horizon Zero Dawn, Darksiders, and plenty others. The stories were just amazing to me and I couldn’t believe I was missing out. However, I wanted to challenge myself and I ended up playing all those game’s on the hardest difficulty available. Which were really challenging for some games but I got through them.

 

My first ever platinum was Shadow of Mordor. I just loved that game. Now the sense of accomplishment has been sourly lacking in my life. So maybe I’m making it bigger than it really is because I know it’s just a digital trophy, but I didn’t get many trophies growing up, so the feeling of getting this just felt wonderful. 
 

I ended up setting rules. I will not platinum a game unless I truly love the game. I will always attempt the hardest difficulty. And no easy platinums. This to me will make me continuously feel like I’ve accomplished something. Also, avoid multiplayer. I’m not a major multiplayer guy. I made some exceptions. But who knows, maybe with this community that will change. 

 

To this date I have acquired 30 platinums, currently working on my 31st with many more planned. I found a new love in games and so excited about the future with the PS5, which I do not have yet. Hopefully soon.

 

Looking forward to meeting you all and thank you for your time if you read the whole thing.

26. Borderlands 2
27. The Last of Us Remastered
28. The Last of Us Part II
29. Sekiro
30. Spider-Man: Miles Morales

  31.  Ghost of Tsushima

  32. God of War II (PS3)

 

Currently working on God of War series, currently on Ascension. 
 

I would really love to platinum GTA V, Destiny 1 and 2, Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, so maybe this community can help with those. Other than that my order goals are the Dark Souls trilogy and the Yakuza series. Can’t wait to play those games.

 

Also, I would like to add I do not want majorly hard 8/10, 9/10, or 10/10 Plats unless the game is in my top five of all time and I just have to get it. I do not need that stress in my life. Plats rated 4-6 are my comfort zones. But always play on hard if available no matter what.

That’s all I have for my intro. Thank you so much for your time. I hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas and an amazing New Year!

Welcome. I too don't do the easy Platinum thing. (Nothing wrong with it...just not for me.) This site is a great tool for Platinum Hunters and there are amazing players for nearly every title available that are here.

Welcome to the site  You have a nice list of games there for sure. I can definitely recommend the Yakuza franchise, it's grown to become one of my all time greatest game series.

Thank you! Yes I am very much looking forward to it. Nothing wrong with it at all. It depends on the person. But for me I enjoy games more when they present some type of challenge, and with that, Platinums should be challenging.

Hello thanks! I am very much looking forward to getting help for certain games. I also hope I can help when I can.

 

Thanks for saying my list is respectable. I am actually quite happy with it and enjoyed every single game. So hopefully the next will be just as good!
