Why is this so rare, and is it still possible

[cbh114]

Im just curious why this is so rare, ive seen that you need a local co-op player which i have, but is there some other suprise that makes it difficult. And is this still obtainable

The Plat is obtainable but you need a co-op partner and the patience of several saints to get it done, because this game is reported to be insanely hard and very buggy.

Already got a partner no stress. But with buggy is that like deleting saves kinda buggy or trophy’s not popping or what

My understanding, is that some of the levels are glitchy and don't work properly so it can take many attempts to clear them:

The best person to ask about this game is probably @Joe Dubz as he platinumed the game very recently. But yeah, based on his experience with the game, it sounds like a grind and a half, the dedication must have been on another level.

It was a plus game so a lot of people will have tried it

Thanks @Zipp Storm for mentioning me! I'll do my best to break it down for OP here...

 

Partially why the game is so rare is because yes, it has PSPlus effect. But even that fact aside, this game would def have stayed sub-1% in my opinion regardless... Because it's that fuckin hard!! 

 

So the game is challenging enough in single player mode. You have to play 100 levels and each level has 3 missions to complete. Ranging from beat a level in 1 try, to collect so many clones, or beat the level without touching anything, etc. It's fairly challenging enough to get all those done.

 

Then you get to the BEAST that is co-op ? The number of levels and missions stays the same. But biggest difference here is that they add a different type of mission in co-op called "Nobody Dies" and it's just like it sounds. You and your partner have to get through the level unscathed!! This takes a shit ton of patience and just working together to figure out who does what. They do also modify a few of the levels to make them different and more challenging. 

 

Oh yes, and @HuntingFever is exactly right... Some of the mechanics on the levels tend to glitch out, so it comes down to RNGeezus whether you're able to get through certain sections. Which is fine when it's the beginning of the level. But when you have to get 75% of the way through a difficult 8 minute level, it gets annoying getting screwed over like that repeatedly! 

 

I ended up soloing all but about 30 or so levels by myself, but it was stupid hard and this is where having a solid co-op partner can save you some time and aggravation. Best of luck if you decide to go for it!

No worries Joe! I know you'd be the best person to ask while it's still fresh in your memory haha, serious kudos to anyone who even attempts the platinum let alone getting it.

Sure thing, you can do it with lots of practice!!

 

One key thing I forgot to touch on is that the game is local co-op only. So either you need an IRL friend, or else the only other option is shareplay.

 

The reason this sucks is because the lag from shareplay makes it extremely challenging for whomever player 2 is! At least my co-op partner and I were about 6k kilometers apart, and at times it was so bad that it made the high precision parts a bitch. This also means only the host earns trophies, meaning you may have to do it all twice if your partner wants it done too.

 

Long story short, hopefully you've gotta friend close by, but if not just make sure you find a solid co-op partner!

@Joe Dubz Ik that this was posted a few months ago but I’m wondering about getting this game, is it possible to do this platinum with just one player and two controllers? Thinking about doing it since I’ve done some hard plats like super meat boy and I am bread.

[IzunaGaiden]

the reason is : playstation plus, very bad game, very glitchless, local cooperation, not so easy is a solid 8 but for me is 9

 

i not target the platinum due to the coop, but im close to finish the single player trophy and is horrible i have already 117 hours played time
