First platinum done! Completed The Outbound Ghost. In short; terrible performance. I wanted to actually explore and do battles but the game keeps crashing everywhere. Decided to blaze through the game and hopefully seeing a patch soon.. but there is a chance no patch will release as the publisher filed a lawsuit against the developer. Anyway, I loved the art and the music was nice

Thanx! In my opinion end any list not easy at all (callus on my thumb finger confirm it, hello olliolli), but early start gave me some advantage for sure. If i had less work in december i end list 01.01.

 

Mashing up "Fresh starter" and "First!" don't make race fairer cause u can make 20 hrs list and complete it in 1 day (auto-pop 10s, 2 hrs 8s etc). Rather It looks like competition who make shorter list. Don't get me wrong I like goals like this, because it's not just gaming but thinking and preparing a lot too, but nevertheless it has nothing to do with fairness.

Yes i get what you mean.  And you did It great ! Completing a list is never easy indeed^^
 

My point was just that we could add another badge which would challenge everyone to complete a list of games as fast as they can and considering they didnt get an early advantage. It shouldnt be with auto popping as well. To limit optimisation as much as possible

@MattbluePT Nice you got Ape Escape. I'm starting that one now  And for the FFIX Jump Rope trophy...it practically cannot be done legitimately, however, check out the remote play script exploit detailed in the trophy guide here on PSNProfiles. It'll make it doable.

 

@DaveB2204 Lists and badges look good! That Sonic game as a 10/10 counts cause its a legal loophole but it's super cheesy imo haha But you more than make up for it with the Fall Guys / GTA4 combo in list one  Awesome that you're going for Repeat Offender, that one will end up very rare I think. 

 

@temp-381229 Dang man you are ambitious AF haha Love the lists. Keep up the great work! As a note just in case you didn't alreadyy know, your final list doesn't have to be Platinum tier, it can be Bronze, so your 5th list could be just 7 games if that helps.

Platinum #255: A Plague Tale: Requiem

Hot take…the Plague Tale series is absolutely on par with The Last of Us, God of War and other elite single player narrative driven experiences.

They are among the best games I’ve ever played.

Yeap, I remember about it. I think there will be games that i platinum in spite of challenge, and some of them might push 5th list to platinum grade.

[AgentPenguin08]

Quick update, haven't gotten another platinum yet but I decided to change up my list a bit. I was never really sold on Batman: Arkham City (since I already got the platinum on PS3) or Fall Guys (since I'd rather not put up with that glitchy game). So I decided to put Devil May Cry 3 as my new 7/10, move Crash 4 from my 9/10 to 10/10 and put in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed as my new 9/10.

 

 1/10 - Toem

 2/10 - Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One

 3/10 - Dark Cloud

 4/10 - Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves

 5/10 - Assassin's Creed III Remastered

 6/10 - ICO

 7/10 - Batman: Arkham City (PS4) -------> changing to Devil May Cry 3 (https://www.psthc.fr/unjeu/devil-may-cryhd3/guide-trophees.htm)

 8/10 - Cuphead

 9/10 - Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time -------> changing to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (https://www.playstationtrophies.org/game/star-wars-the-force-unleashed/guide/)

 10/10 - Fall Guys (PS5) -------> changing to Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/topic/319303-platinum-difficulty-rating/)

 

Unfortunately this disqualifies me for the Masochist and Above and Beyond badges, which is fine by me. I'm past the point in my trophy hunting career of forcing myself to play games I don't want to for the sake of it. 

 

Updated badges that apply to me/that I'm going for:

 

•  Finally! - Platinum a game that you started 3 or more years ago (ICO)
•  Fresh Starter - 6 or more games on your list had 0% progress prior to 2023
•  OCD - Platinum all 10 games on your list in order 
•  Old School - 3 or more games on your list are remakes, remasters or PS1/PS2/PSP games

[Han_the_Dragon]

Well, since I'm already ignoring my own original plan, I will only list games completed..

 

On the 2 games completed:

1st - First Class Trouble - I will consider the 1/10 rating from the PS5 guide on PSNProfiles (the PS4 guide says that's a 4/10), since the way it was grinded, it's definitely a 1/10 game if the group is build of inteligent people..

2nd - Crisis Core - I'm bumping down Crisis Core from my original plan of a 6/10 (according to PowerPyx 5.5/10 rating) to 4 (according to @Rebourne07 guide), since I agree much more with the 4/10 rating than a 5/10 or 6/10 rating. 

 

1. First Class Trouble •PS5 
2. ??
3. ??
4. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion •PS5 
5. ??
6. ??
7. ??
8. ??
9. ??
10. ??

 

As for the badges, I think that those 2 games qualify for the following:

•  Brownie Points - Platinum a game from Rebourne07's favorite series (Final Fantasy)

 

I'm unsure what I will be playing next, since I will be either aimless doing clean up (DB Xenoverse, Jump Force, Snow Motor Racing, something else...), or aiming at a quick plat (Republique, Shenmue 2, Eventide..) until Persona 3 Portable PS4 release (on January 19th).

 

Not sure when I will complete the next game for this event..

[seannyboy913]

A couple updates for my first list and my minesweeper list.

 

Finished Lawn Mowing Simulator this weekend, its a solid game to play while you're listening to an audiobook or podcast but there's about as much gameplay as you expect from lawn mowing. Not a bad game but a few trophies drag out the completion time too long.

 

1/10 - Toem - Kids   (1/1/23)

2/10 - Knowledge is Power - Quiz/Trivia   (1/3/23)

3/10 - Minecraft - 4X    (1/3/23)

4/10 - Lawn Mowing Simulator - Non-fiction   (1/8/23)

5/10 - Thief - Stealth

6/10 - Demon's Souls - Horror

7/10 - Catherine: Full Body - Romance

8/10 - Prototype - Hack and slash/Beat 'em up

9/10 - Deadbolt - Thriller

10/10 - Bleed - Shooter

 

I've also tentatively updated my minesweeper list due to the Guide of the Year voting starting and Sekiro getting a lot of votes for it already. If anyone sees issues with my list let me know.

 

1/10 - Active Neurons 2

2/10 - Ape Escape

3/10 - Dirt 5

4/10 - Death Squared

5/10 - Hot Wheels Unleashed

6/10 - Disco Elysium

7/10 - Sifu changed to Thumper

8/10 - Unravel 2

9/10 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice changed to Mirror's Edge

10/10 - Wuppo

 

[Rebourne07]

@seannyboy913 You don't have to remove Sekiro from your Minesweeper list. You got your list approved before it won anything so now even if it does that won't count against you. You can change it if you want, but don't have to.

[seannyboy913]

Thanks @Rebourne07, I'll stick with the original list in that case!

I have also done all of the singleplayer trophies in Worms WMD, I just need to boost the online trophies at some point. This will be my 7/10 when it gets done. I think next I'll start playing Ghostrunner, which is a 6/10. We'll see.

[NaughtNaught]

Lurked on the Platinum Difficulty Challenge 2022 but it was too late in the year to make a list. This looks fun so let's have a bash at this!

1/10   - Tales from the Borderlands

2/10   - Persona 5 Royal (Guide Winner 2020)

3/10   - Samurai Shodown OR Cities: Skylines

4/10   - Borderlands 3

5/10   - Dead Space (PS3) OR Mighty No. 9

6/10   - Final Fantasy 7 Remake

7/10   - Bloodborne -  08/01/2023 (Guide Winner 2015)

8/10   - Cuphead

9/10   - XCOM 2

10/10 - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 OR The Evil Within

 

Initial thoughts: 8 to 10 will be crazy. Played a little of Cuphead and it will take a lot of trial and error, but doable. XCOM 2 will be my magnum opus. This game is SO difficult. Already done some of the hard trophies, still need to do more! Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a weird one. Done the hardest trophy (platinum killer) 'Master of Tasks' but there are online trophies. This has to be boosted because the online is dead. In the event I can't get the platinum with boosting, I'll go for The Evil Within. 

 

Already got one of the bigger platinums, Bloodborne! 

 

Couldn't get into the Souls games for the longest time but I now see the appeal. Might go for Elden Ring when I get a PS5.

 

Preliminary Badges

• Above and Beyond Platinum a game with an official time estimate of 80 or more hours (Cities: Skylines, XCOM 2)
• Award Winner - Platinum a game with a trophy guide that won a PSNProfiles award (Bloodborne – 2015 + Persona 5 Royal - 2020)
• Brownie Points - Platinum a game from Rebourne07's favorite series Final Fantasy (Final Fantasy 7 Remake)
• Finally! Platinum a game that you started 3 or more years ago (Mighty No. 9, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, The Evil Within)
• Mad Skillz Platinum a Fighting or Racing game rated 8/10 or higher (Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3)
• *Masochist* - More than one game on your list qualifies as a 10/10 (not sure if this counts)

BTW @Rebourne07  I know you mention this challenge was originally inspired by PlatinumBro on the OP.

I actually took part in that original PlatBro challenge and was one of the 9 people that managed to complete it so i learnt a lot from that experience.

The rules in this challenge a lot more forgiving but that also allows for much more experimentation going for the different badges.

Its a lot of fun completing difficulty lists so i hope everyone taking part here enjoys it.

To be honest, one of the reasons I joined the challenge is because the rules are so forgiving. Not that I want to cheat (I promise, despite screwing up my list twice  ), but anyone that does cheat is just cheating themselves. I love that there are people who are even hesitant to cheese some games because it doesn't feel right. Here to have fun and set ourselves challenges to beat, not compete.

Initial thoughts: 8 to 10 will be crazy. Played a little of Cuphead and it will take a lot of trial and error, but doable. XCOM 2 will be my magnum opus. This game is SO difficult. Already done some of the hard trophies, still need to do more! Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a weird one. Done the hardest trophy (platinum killer) 'Master of Tasks' but there are online trophies. This has to be boosted because the online is dead. In the event I can't get the platinum with boosting, I'll go for The Evil Within.

 

I love X-COM, and 2 was awesome still need to finish some dlc that I never got around to do for 100% but is such a great game. Legend was long, slow and methodical, the one that I really struggle with was exquisite timing I had to start that one over so many times but I see you already got it done, along with the iron man so you definitely have this. I've been considering doing Cuphead but I haven't been able to get the hang of it at all. Maybe I just haven't really sat down with it.

Already got one of the bigger platinums, Bloodborne! 

 

Couldn't get into the Souls games for the longest time but I now see the appeal. Might go for Elden Ring when I get a PS5.

Bloodborne was my introduction as well in 2021. Absolutely amazing game and i got hooked and then went on to Platinum Demon's Souls PS3, Dark Souls remastered, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin & Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice last year and loved them all so plan to play all the other remaining Souls games including all stacks of them over the coming year.

XCOM 2 is amazing! First played it on PS4 then got it on PC. Its a night and day difference when comparing both versions. PS4 is fine but doesn't run as good than PC. Exquisite Timing was a pain! Managed to do it recently on my 3rd or 4th attempt even after careful planning. I can't say which one was harder Exquisite Timing or Valhalla, both are pretty brutal haha! Really looking forward to doing the Legend playthrough, I'm going to make it my last trophy for the platinum pop. I've been putting off Cuphead so doing this challenge will make me do it

Nice one! What would be a good Souls platinum after Bloodborne? I'm a bit intimidated by the amount of Souls games there are and don't know which one to play next. Will definitely play Elden Ring when I get a chance but not sure what else.
