[Video] 40 second platinum walkthrough!

[esstee11]

40 second platinum!
Ok ok maybe 3 minutes if you miss a catch!
only $0.99 in the NA PSN store!
Just catch 15 baseballs in a row, easy as that!

*NOTE: God forbid if you are struggling and want to make it even easier, If you close and restart the game, it will always start with this same pattern.
If you miss a catch and carry on, the pattern will change.*
 

 

 

The pattern!:

*labelled 1-15 in the order the baseballs will come, and where they will land on screen.
Use the dots on screen as markers to help you know where to stand.
Close and reopen the game to get this same pattern if you need to try again.*

Gaming's highlights ladies and gentlemen...

Trophy huntings pay to win.

I’m all for short and sweet platinums and a good Ratalaika game but this is kinda ridiculous for a platinum ?

[Mumble_Taker]

I'll wait for a sale

So, does the game just become ridiculous after a while? I mean, honestly, a catching game is pretty bad, but it could provide some amusement. But the baseballs started loop-de-looping after a while. What the hell?

So this all started with Hannah Montana: The Game, Terminator: Salvation and Megamind over a decade ago. Fast forward half a decade later and we’ve got 3-4 hour platinums with video guides, another year’s passed and you just gotta tap the ‘X’ button 10k times, almost another half decade is passed and now we’ve got games that reward you a platinum for catching 15 balls? I believe there are also games that can play themselves with a platinum unlocked at the end, am I correct on this?

 

Anyone remember The Simpsons Game for Xbox 360 which infamously unlocked an achievement upon starting the damn thing? Should the lack of effort we’re currently whitenessing keep up, picture ‘Press Start To Play’ except now you’ll be unlocking an entire trophy list PLUS 2 MORE stacks for the EU and Asian versions!

 

But let’s really think beyond the trophies for once. This game was released for the PlayStation 4 and is playable and boosted through backwards compatibility on PS5. No matter how much money is being asked, this PLAYSTATION 4 GAME is asking for money and it looks like it’s made for an early 80’s home gaming machine or for free on Cool Math Games and perhaps some other Adobe Flash (R.I.P.) game websites. Sony is very committed to censoring Japanese content and in other cases it’s very difficult for studios to license their game for release on one or all regions to the PlayStation Store but then they will allow this?!?

 

Yes, I myself am a sucker for these games but this really is all Sony’s fault for what’s going on here. Before it’s too late can I push to allow Ratalaika Games and Green Lava Studios continue each their businesses but ideally every other publisher/developer/porter should be gone. That includes you, ‘Sometimes You’.

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

I too love an easy plat but this is beyond ridiculous...

 

It's getting to the point where trophy hunters are essentially paying to get a plat and not the game itself

 

If this had the old style of 9 bronze, two silver and one gold trophy nobody would consider buying it 

 

Mark my words by the end of the year there will be a game with trophies like this...

 

- Launch the game

 

- Go the the options

 

- Adjust the volume

 

- Adjust the brightness 

 

- Look at the controls 

 

- Save your changes 

 

- Revert your changes 

 

- Start the first level 

 

- Move character in both directions

 

- Jump

 

- Defeat the first enemy 

 

Platinum unlocked

It's already happened on Steam, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it here. There are games on Steam that give you the full achievement list just for opening the game... And I'm talking 5,000 achievements at once--it's kind of ridiculous. ? But, to be fair, I suppose Steam has very little achievement regulation.

Yes, this is what I was going to add, the Steam games that are just thousands of achievements for a small fee. 

My trophy list has been soiled by more games like that than I'd like, and Sony didn't help anything with their ridiculous restructuring of the trophy level system. Going from level 60 something to 600 something took a lot of meaning away for me. The numbers just don't matter any more. 

I've tried to stay away from the easy plat games, but some days I just want a quick game to waste some time. I suppose I could play a game I already own, but it appears that I am pretty addicted to trophies :/

The fact that this got a platinum trophy beyond me.

The fact that so many people go for plats like this is crazy.

It's so hard not to honestly. Yes its easy but its so cheap too.

 

I kinda challenged myself to get 6 platinums a month this year just to see of i could. Limiting myself to not just play those types of game but it will help on months where I play games like red dead redemption 2 or assassin's creed origins.

Ok as far as this game getting a plat yea that's kind of crazy. Did I spend over a hour to get it, yup sure did.

 

On a side note this game is made by kids through a church program to teach them how to make games.

The platinum is quicker than reading some of the replies in this thread..

See the trophy guide video from BadDriver (No offense esstee), the 1st comment has a tip about restarting the game, it creates the same pattern and they land on nearly the same spot.

As far as I could find googling this, this game looks like it's singlehandedly developed by Myron Kevan Tynes Jr. 

 

Interfectorem (which doesn't have a plat) was also made by 4 kids at a summer camp (Girls Make Games), and the difference in quality is very, very noticeable... 

[seblegamer]

Looks like a very (verrryyyyyyyy) old game & watch game ^^' (but ... even worst and less fun to play of course ^^')

[ElevExplorer64]

At this point, I'm convinced I could make a game, give it a cheap and easy platinum, and laugh as people actually buy it.

Yeah, I saw that from this OP and definitely wish I would’ve read it beforehand. Oh well.
