Thoughts after obtaining the Platinum.

[SlienTheCake]

I started playing this game in the summer of 2021. I bought it on the Nintendo Switch as I was too scared of Playstation's trophy list. At first I wouldn't play for too long, maybe 1 hour per day. As time passed though I got hooked. I found the game really fun, enough to make me buy it on the PS4 and start my journey.

 

I got the Platinum around 1 week ago and I can say with confidence that it's the most difficult thing I've ever done. Don't let this statement discourage you from starting this game though. It's an amazing game and I don't regret spending so much time on it. I've had lots of fun and I'm excited to play even more, not just for trophies.

 

I will however say that the journey was fun up until Coda (the second hardest trophy). The final challenge in the game known as "Lowest of the Low" was too much to handle so I ended up doing it just because it was the last trophy and I couldn't give up now that I had gotten so far. It kinda felt like I was obligated to do it. The run takes around 3 hours and if you die at any point you gotta start all over again. Dying late in this run has to be one of the worst feelings you can get from gaming. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to complete my run without dying near the end on any of my attempts but I can ensure you, should you die that late, it definitely isn't a good feeling.

 

Nonetheless, I still encourage people to pick this game up and try it out. It's definitely worth it, ask anyone that has the Platinum; the majority, if not all of them, will say they don't regret starting it. Thanks for reading!

 

TL;DR: Game good, try it out.

 

Yes, I used a keyboard. My keyboard is "Turbo-X Horus RGB II" and my adapter is "Spirit of Gamer Cross Game 2 Adapter" (the red one, the blue one doesn't have a headphone jack). There is a slight input lag but with enough practice it's no issue, you can also calibrate the audio latency in-game to make up for it. I got mine at 120 when playing double tempo and 20 when playing normally. I think I payed 50€ in total.

 

Total Playtime: 650 hours

PS4 Playtime: 550 hours

Switch Playtime: 100 hours

 

You can watch my Coda and All Chars Low% runs here. I'm using a mic so my reaction to obtaining the trophies is also recorded.

Impossible, Right?:

Can you please explain to me how does this adapter work? I just got it and I have no idea how to map any controls on my keyboard.

Jesus, well done man. That's insane. I can just imagine the skill and practice required on a game and platinum like this. 

 

10/10 difficulty in this is not the same as a 10/10 on a fps or other kind of game.

Congrats man, this is insane! You should post your thoughts in the "Most recent platinum" thread. Way more people need to see this.

Good idea, I might do it.

I remember struggling to make it work myself when I first bought it. I think you need to connect everything in a certain order.

First you plug the keyboard to the adapter, then you plug the adapter to the PS4, then you plug the controller to the adapter and finally you plug the headphones to the adapter.

 

As to how you change the keys, go to this website and download "APP CROSSGAME TWO", it's under "Converters". https://spiritofgamer.com/gb/content/13-downloads

Change the PS4 keys to whatever you like. Speaking of which, I hope you have a PS4, I forgot to mention I am using one. Don't think the adapter works on a PS5.
