Popular Post GamingMethodist Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 Hey guys! Just curious What is the furthest you have ever gone for a platinum?. I was playing with someone a few days back who said his friend set up 8 PlayStations to fill the lobby’s in Gran Turismo sport for some online trophy’s. It just got me thinking what other lengths people have gone for those sweet trophys! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have a legendary internet connection then🤣 I once had 4 x PS4's setup to boost Air Mech Arena. But my net wasn't strong enough, so friend of mine hosted, and I used 3 x PS4's. I have also self-boosted many games over the last few years. Just with 2 x consoles. Examples - DBFZ, Bomberman R, Primal Carnage. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozymandias1994 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Once I controlled 2 racers at the same time in split-screen mode in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. My wife did the same thing sitting beside me so we can finish race with 1-4 places for the trophy. Luckily she loves karting and all stuff. We trained 4 days before we could do it. Now it is special platinum in my collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HuntingFever Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 I stick to my limits and that's it, no more, no less. Buying additional consoles to boost a few crappy trophies has always seemed like an incredible waste of time, space and money to me so I've never done it. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlienSteam Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 I used 6 PS3s (3 of my own, and 3 borrowed from friends) to self boost the challenges in Binary Domain. TWICE!!!! I deleted my save file (had barely started story mode) when i was roughly 95% done, not realising Online stats were saved locally as opposed to sever side. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grifteskymfning Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 (edited) Oh, boy. Here we go... I imported four copies of a crappy japanese pachinko game, got four tubro controllers, set up four PS3s on one screen through a quad-HDMI multi viewer and let them run around the clock. One max ball game is around 13 hours, so I had a timer for when I would reset the game, even in the middle of the night. That made me get the platinum in roughly 400+ days... I did the same with boosting the multiplayer trophies in Chronicles of Riddick (still havent got the plat) And I helped a friend by being 10 of the players in his MotoGP 09/10 multiplayer lobby. I could have done them all since I now have 17 PS3. When we where boosting Snipers, I couldn't get the normal discs so I had to buy the Collectors Edition three times, incl. now owning three Move rifles. I recently also rented a place just so I could play Hot Wheels Rift Rally because I don't have enough space is my gaming room. Will have to rent it again since I didn't get the plat, but it's only €40 for a whole day. The next project is getting a friend and playing on two of my Vitas each to get the Dynasty Warriors Next co-op trophies.

x49ersblitzkreig Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I've stayed up for nights getting the Mary Skelter Nightmares Plat Trophy. I would die forgetting to save so instead of giving up I'd play it when I had breaks during class and then pulled all-nighters to get the Plat for Mary Skelter Nightmares. Now I'm striving for Mary Skelter Finale. Edited March 4 by x49ersblitzkreig I forgot to add an r in striving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing, the difference is that I did it with 3 controls at the same time with an elastic band holding R2 while the ex-girlfriend played with one. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I have "only" 9 (two of them are from my Final Fantasy Collection (FF7AC 160GB, FF13 white (I still want to buy the black on)) - but your "selfboost" possibilities are amazing ;). For sure I didn't have such awesome actions like @grifteskymfning, but: - bought 3 additionals Vitas just to selfboost kills in Wipeout 2048, - selfboosted "Snipers" as well (2 normal and 1 Collector's Edition) on 3 PS3s on 3 screens, - used 3 copies of Uncharted 3 to help to fill the lobby while boosting MP DLCs trophies, - bought second set for "DJ Hero" just to get the wins in MP ;), - left 2 PS3 for almost 2 weeks 24/7 for quasi self-boosting of "Dive Kick", - have 3xHORI FPS+ turbo pads used for example for "Virtua Fighter" and mentioned "Dive Kick" boosts, - "HAD" to buy "NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE!" US version since EU is glitched, - long time ago wanted to have finally some fastest time in any game, so I spent ~18h straight playing "Jeopardy!" on PS3 - that was bloody exhausting, Plans: -already completed second set of PSVR for selfboosting some PSVR games (Eagle Flight mostly), -I would LOVE to buy Virzoom bike...

Popular Post Paleblood Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 I thought about chiming in, but you people are so much more hardcore with your dozens of consoles and boosting parties... Guess you are the real trophy hunters, where I am but a measly novice to this illustrious sport. I salute all your achievements forum! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadEdders95 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I've spend a shed loads buying FIFA points over the years to try and get some of the more difficult trophies in Ultimate Team I only have the plat for 18... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KyonKuchiki Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 There's a game called Flipy's Tesla that had a mystery trophy for the longest time that no one knew how to legitimately unlock. I eventually was able to get a file dump of the game, and look through the files to try and figure out what pops it. Found out the trophy trigger was erroneously tied to another trophy, and with the studio that made the game going under, it means the trophy will forever be legitimately impossible to get. I then posted my findings to the forums here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Sports Champions. It was the game that came with the PlayStation Move on the PS3. It even forced me to buy a second move controller. I would sit there for hours sweating like a pig trying to get all of the stars. I forget which game it was, but I hurt my shoulder while playing and had to take a small break before I could continue. I eventually got it done, but there is a good reason why that is as rare as it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
