 Another Seven Years (Rarity: 0.86% - Ultra Rare)
Legend tells of an ancient artifact that can grant a woman's wish...

 

Difficulty: 9/10

Fun: 9/10

 

This game is a headscratcher, IMO, since most of the trophies are all grind this, grind that. Particularly, with the character-specific moves that you were required to execute nth number of times from other characters. However, what separates with this game are some of its modes. Let's begin with the story mode. You have to complete all 14 character stories to unlock  Threads of Fate. The first 13 are easy, but Fukua's story is on a whole different level. You fight all 15 characters of the game (including Marie), and your very last encounter is none other than Filia herself. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! What you have to know is that this battle with Filia in Fukua's story is ALWAYS set to Nightmare (hardest) difficulty, so Sleepwalk (easiest) difficulty will not work. At all. Not only that, she can throw a flurry of combos if you are left unguarded to her devices. It took me some time to beat her, due to her aggressive fighting style, which was unlike any other I have encountered in this game. Then, there's the Marie 300% mode, where you have to beat an overpowered version of Marie herself, and you can only use Squigly. She is extremely tough to beat and just like Filia in Fukua's story, she will play aggressive on you, with the usual dissatisfaction of being mocked by her for every defeat with her catchphrase "Know your place" that echoes through your head. The trials is where you put your skills to the test of combos and your worthiness to platinum. You have to complete all 56 of them, and some can be overly difficult to clear, depending on your ability level of fighting games. The challenges were on the okay side, but the restrictions is what made it a little pesky to complete. All in all, great game with great set of characters, a creative art style, and a clever trophy description! ?

Plat #388: Gravity Rush Remastered

 

 

It's all Relative

Collected every trophy. Congratulations!

 

This game was OK, but I feel like it focused on the wrong things. Kat's gravity powers are awesome, and should have been developed as the game proceeded to allow her to explore different regions of the city, avoiding perils, as a sort of Metroid-type game. Instead, the focus is on clumsy speed challenges, and flat, tasteless combat. I never felt like I got any better at the game. I just got a longer time to do things. Oh - don't even get me started on the "story". Worth a playthrough on the cheap, but not much more. Great trophy tiles, though.

 

Plat #389: Brave

 

 

Platinum

Earn all other Trophies

 

Hardly a difficult game, but Brave is harder than you think it's going to be. I died quite a bit on my quest to rid the world of...whoever's curse. My kids enjoyed watching the game, and honestly, outside of a few weird jump issues, I enjoyed playing it.

 

Plat #390: Gem Smashers

 

 

Gem Smashers Lover

Obtained all trophies!

 

Another decently fun game. The plat could have (and should have) been harder, but this will soon join the pile of games I have little recollection of.

[JoaLoft]

I've actually only now discovered this thread, so I'll try to make a few posts of my latest platinum trophy conquests as I work towards the next one.

 

 

 

#222 - DOOM 3 (PS4)

 

If you've been into games for a few decades, I don't think DOOM requires any introduction. They rebooted the series successfully, but I remember when this came out, somewhere around the first Far Cry release and Half-Life 2's release. Three games which definitely left their mark on gaming as a whole, back in 2004 (if memory serves me right). You'll need to get used to the controls of this PS4 remaster, which does contain both expansions and no multiplayer. On one hand, that means you can take your time getting this platinum trophy, but on the other: you'll have a lot of game to get through, especially because of the separate difficulty trophies.

 

Nonetheless, it's a very straightforward shooter: portal to Hell opens, nameless marine arrives, ends up in the middle of the entire mess and has enough muscles to carry around ten guns, varying in size and firepower. Don't expect any really big badass moments like the new DOOM games offer. This one is more horror-centered, so you'll have lots of dark corners to deal with, and enemies popping out of nowhere to attempt and scare the crap out of you. Still a solid shooter to experience, if only to see how far we've come since then.

 

Most frustrating trophy - DOOMed Nightmare

 

 

You'll need to finish the game in both the main campaign and both expansions on the highest difficulty, on Nightmare mode. Doesn't sound too difficult, you might think. But here's the trick: aside from enemies doing much more damage, your health depletes always to 25/100 whenever you replenish it through medkits or medstations. This one applies to beating the main campaign on Nightmare difficulty, because it's obviously the longest campaign out of all three. Make sure you save a lot, preferably before every single encounter, to prevent any unnecessary frustration. Because you will die often, be prepared for that.

 

Fair note: the Nightmare difficulty only unlocks for each campaign once you finished it on a lower difficulty. So you're looking at six playthroughs at minimum. Try to combine getting the collectibles in each campaign as you play through each part of the remaster, whether it's leisurely or whether you're actively trophy hunting!

#223 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered

 

Still one of the best campaigns in Call of Duty history. After the great remaster (or semi-remake, whatever you prefer) of the first Modern Warfare, I was interested in seeing how this one turned out. And reliving some of the epic missions you partake in in this campaign, with added lighting effects, new animations and updated graphics, was definitely worth it. No multiplayer, sadly, but then again, that makes this trophy list even easier to pull off.

 

I do think it's a bit overpriced for what it ultimately is, even with the Warzone extras you get. Once it hits a price drop, like it does right now with the Days of Play sale, pick it up, by all means. And all that's left, is waiting for the inevitable Modern Warfare 3 campaign remaster.

 

Most frustrating trophy - The Price of War

 

 

Finish the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty. Just go straight for Veteran, seems superfluous to do Hardened first. There are a few hard sections where cheap deaths could occur, but as long as you let the AI pull up and help you out, and you use proper CQC techniques (translation: not rushing through rooms like a headless chicken), you should be fine.

 

Be glad there's no "Mile High Club on Veteran difficulty" trophy in this game's list, like there was back in Modern Warfare Remastered.

 

We do not speak of that mission on Veteran difficulty.

#224 - Shadow of the Colossus (PS4 remake)

 

What is there left to say about Shadow of the Colossus. Its minimalist design, its atmosphere, its story, it all clicks wonderfully. Shadow of the Colossus is an example of how games can actually be considered art. Wander, the protagonist, makes a deal with an unknown force, which resides in a secluded part of the world, to bring a girl back from the realm of the dead if he slays sixteen colossi. For spoiler purposes, I won't go any deeper into story territory. But suffice it to say it is a great tale to experience.

 

From the incredible soundtrack (maybe the best one ever in gaming?) to the design of each colossus and the desolate world you roam, you're in for a treat with this remake. There's not a single bad beat or moment in Shadow of the Colossus. Everyone undoubtedly has its favorite colossi - mine must be Avion (number 5), Basaran (number 9) and Phalanx (number 13). But the build-up to the climax will keep you enthralled, no matter which colossi captivated you the most.

 

I've always been a fierce advocate of enjoying a game first, and chasing its trophies second. And in this case, I urge you to sit back, leave the trophies for what they are, and just soak it all in. It is widely considered to be one of the best video games ever made, and it's a statement that rings true throughout the years.

 

Most frustrating trophy - Speed King

 

 

To get this trophy, you need to unlock all bonus items which are rewarded when you beat all sixteen colossi in both Normal Time Attack Mode and Hard Time Attack Mode. Which also means you will need to play the game at least twice in New Game Plus to get them all in one save file. Beating the giants (haha, with the exception of two pipsqueaks) on Normal Time Attack is an easy feat. Getting a few of them on their knees on Hard, that's a different ball game. Colossi have an extra weak point sometimes on Hard, which means you will need to plan a route how to get from one to the other as quickly as possible. Sword stabs are less impactful and stats do not carry over into time attack battles, so you have been warned.

 

My advice is to practice, practice and practice. Get on a colossus as soon as possible and do not fall off. Falling off is essentially a wipe and will require you to restart the battle from scratch - you won't have enough time left for a second attempt. There will be close shaves, there will be times when you'll grip the controller and try to deliver the final blow when your stamina meter is about to be depleted. I've had my share of those moments when beating a few of them on Hard Time Attack. But the feeling of elation when you do finally take them down within the time limit and work your way up, will reinvigorate you to push on until the task is done.

 

It took multiple playthroughs as well to max out Wander's stats. But honestly, playing through this gem never really gets old. It can get tedious if you're taking down the same colossus for the fifth or sixth time in a short amount of time, sure. Yet, the admiration for the game as a whole is still there, and the music still captivates you, from when you lock eyes with a colossus's until you deliver the killing blow.

 

Worth every minute experiencing and getting its platinum trophy, even after fifteen years since its original release on PS2.

 

Do not pass this one up.

 

Truth be told, I might even replay this game x amount of years down the line. Just because it's such a timeless and epic tale crafted with such exquisite charm.

                  Call of Duty WWII #144 

 

I like a lot COD games despite of the critics and re-use of the series year after year I still enjoy them and if the trophies are possible for me (not like bo4) I like to try them.

 

I stop buying the series since ghost so I only get them via a friend or free like this case and thanks god this one is the game they choice to give in the series. Right now I can say this and mw2 are my favorites in the whole saga just amazing the feeling of coming back to the classic whitout super armors and that stuff I really don't enjoy in the modern games series.

 

The campaing it's short but amazing and fun, right now the multiplayer feels good (I know at launch was a disaster) and the zombies well it's not my favorite part I gotta admit it's pretty good better than BO3 zombies wich is the last one zombies cod I tried.

 

I really enjoyed the journey to get this platinium, the most difficult part for me zombies and the part I enjoyed the more the campaing. The multiplayer it's really good a fun too I got to level 55 really fast with the double xp event and a map called shipment 1### (forgot the numbers). So......

 

Dificulty: 5/10

Enjoyement: 8/10

Time: 1 week 2 days

Rarity: Ultra Rare.

 

Now going I think for Star Wars Battlefront II or Lego Ninja Go.

 

Good bye all! Cheers

Bad Company Elite

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 3/10

 

A good FPS game. The online is pretty solid for those who like to play it in these kinda games. As far as trophies go, they're easy albeit a little time-consuming due to the online trophies (especially if you're going for the 100%). Shoutout to @Honor_Hand for the help with those. ^o^ Not much else I have to say besides that.

 #44 - ManEater

 

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

 

 

 

A very pleasant surprise, I didn't expect to like this game as much as I did. If it weren't for isolation and being stuck at home, I probably would never have bought this game, and certainly not on release and at full price. Now I'm really glad I did.

 

Let's get the bad out of the way: this game has many technical issues. Very frustrating at times. Over 16 hours of play, I had one hard crash, three stuck loading screens, and countless severe framerate drops. I'm never one to complain too much about dropping a few frames, but here I'm talking about game breaking frame stuttering. Also a lot of frustration whenever you fight something at the edge of two regions and inadvertently keep exiting and entering new regions. The game really doesn't like that ...

 

Other than that, I had a lot of fun with this game. It probably won't win any Game of the Year awards, but it's a really fun game. Actually quite good looking, the story is quite fun, there's not much to it but it stays out of the way most of the time which is cool. I actually really liked the collectibles, always placed in interesting locations, yet very easy to find once the sonar is upgraded to the max. Also the locations collectibles are full of funny situations and pop culture references, I really enjoyed that. Only the human combat got a bit stale by the end, mostly because it becomes too easy with the right armour and spamming the evade. So reaching infamy 10 was a bit of a grind. Really not much though.

 

There really is no difficulty to the plat, nor to the game. Only one apex predator gave me a bit of trouble towards the end. Dont go looking for a challenge, only for a good bit of fun. 16 hours for me to get the plat, but I'm a slow gamer, and I took my sweet time exploring. Highly recommended.

#467+468 - Milo's Quest

 

Sort of wannabe Zelda clone, but very basic and dumbed down. It was passable

 

 

Enjoyment: 5

Difficulty: 1.5

[Zircon_Lotus]

Platinum #91

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition

I think this is a pretty well known game, that even has a following of sorts.

 

I liked the combat, it was pretty simple and easy to learn, but you have to be mindful to counter, because the enemies hit hard. I only wish that Wei could jump or something, he is a bit too clunky for a kung fu master. Speaking of the protagonist, I really liked him, even though I didnt like the story too much. I saw many people praising it, but to me it was only average, but maybe it's because I'm not too fond of cop versus drug dealers stories. Other thing that I have to praise is the city. I have never been to Hong Kong, and I'm not knowledgeable about it, but if the representation is not accurate with it's real life counterpart, it was very well done regardless. The city is complex, has many details and looks alive. Another good thing are the tracks. While you're driving, there is a radio, and most of the musics are very enjoyable to listen to. There are many genres: pop, metal, rap, traditional music, classical music, etc. 

 

I just wish they handled fast travel better. I think they could at least let you move between apartments. Although I was very bad, driving through the city while listening to music is cool, but sometimes you wish to reach a place faster, and there is not a reliable way to do this. There are taxis, but they are always moving, there is not a place where they are parked and you go and ride one. In certain parts of the city this is worse, because there are little to none. 

 

Sadly I had many performance issues. I played the digital version, and my game would always take more than 30 seconds to start. Sometimes I would also experience delay while browsing menus. There were fps drops, specially when there were many things on the screen, like police cars. The game crashed 3 times in different points, and for two times my car was eaten by the ground. One of them was during a race (Enduro, where my game had crashed previously) that I would win. The Zodiac Island is also riddled with bugs. Not only the Statues do not appear on your map, only minimap, but the missions icons are bugged, so you cant check on the map the name of the missions to replay. And if this isnt enough, the award for using the environment against enemies is also bugged, not all props count. I also had problem with one of the missions related to Wheels of Fury. There is a part where you cant control your car. On the first time, there was no dialogue, I couldnt get off the car, and couldnt shoot. After I restarted, the second part played normally, but the sound was bugged. Gladly I didnt have any problem popping any trophy, and all statistics counted normally.

 

About the trophies. everything is pretty straightforward. As long as you're doing everything towards 100%, you will get enough money to buy cars AND clothes without grinding. When I finished everything, I had more than 5kk HK$, and after buying all cars and clothes, I still had more than 1.5kk. Never buy a car before reaching Face level 10, they are too expensive, and you get 40% discount on cars AND clothes with the bonus. And when you decide to buy one, wear the cloth set that gives you 15% discount. In total you will have a 55% discount, and all cars will cost 3kk HK$. Talking about clothes, make sure to use the sets that increase Triad experience as soon as you can, specially the Mountain Style available at Face lvl 7, that increase the experience by 15%. Luckly I decided to use it a bit before the end, because if I didnt, I would have to grind for Triad XP. You can replay missions, but the XP awarded is very low compared to what you get first time. And aside from that, only the 4 yellow subevents and the Zodiac Island gives you Triad Experience, contrary to Cop Experience, that you dont even have to bother. Karaoke is easy, even if you're not familiar with rhythm games, and the races are not hard either. There is a list online with the fastest cars, but I completed most of the races with the cars that I got from doing subevents. The HKPD class A bike was enough to win all races except Enduro, where I used the fastest class A bike that you can buy. Velocita brings fast to another level, but the Undercover Police Cruiser was enough for me to win all class A car races. The class B bike that you get in a missions is also enough, but you have to buy the class B and C cars to win the races (Terre GT and Enterprise respectively).

 

In the end, Sleeping Dogs was an enjoyable game. It does not do anything too well, but it does not fail at anything either. I spent 40 hours to platinum, due to chasing the collectibles (that unlike most games are very well hidden, thankfully we can easily track them ingame) and subevents in a non-efficient way, but the game never felt like chore. Sadly the possibility of another game seems very low due to what happened to the developers, because I wouldnt mind playing as Wei Shen again.

#59 - Beyond Blue

 

Master of the Sea

Earn all other Trophies

 

A nice relaxing experience. It was fascinating studying the marine life and the game does a great job teaching you about the ocean. Getting the platinum was no problem at all. The hardest trophy is to scan every creature across all of the levels, but they are marked on the map so it's no big deal. I didn't run into any glitched/buggy trophies on release day.

 #166

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (PS4)

Enjoyment: 7/10

Difficulty: 4/10

Time: 72hrs

 

I honestly went into Chain of Memories thinking it was going to be a lot worse than it was, due to everyone saying how much it sucks. I was actually decently surprised though. Was the card combat annoying at times? Yes, very. But it had its enjoyable aspects in my opinion. When it comes to the story, it's not as good as KH1's, but I still really liked it. The story is what brings it to a 7/10 for me.

Oddworld: New ´n´ Tasty

 

 

Even before aiming for the platinum, I felt ashamed with myself for not playing this awesome remake from one of my favorite franchises ever since I was a kid until now. The developers made a fantastic job by respecting the original and modernizing it at the same time, My first playtrough was without a road-map, I wanted to see If I still remembered every secret to find all the mudokons on my own, managed to forget 30 of them, but that didin´t stop me from doing 3 more playtroughs in order to make some clean-up, and I enjoyed every second. The speedrun trophy was a little bit stressful and was the one I leaved for the very end after I felt comfortable enough with the environment patterns. Even this game at one time made its way to PS Plus, I still think many people did not give due value, even so I can´t wait for the next installment in the franchise, Soulstorm!

I only just got around to plating this game after leaving it alone for over 3 years. I also did a lot of the DLC trophies while trying to get the "drive 50km" trophy, which is most certainly bugged, it took me closer to 100km to get it. Still have the Competitive wins and club trophy DLC's to complete. but I'm not sure if I'll ever find ranked matches in my region and also win them >.<

#115 PERSONA 5

 

What a fantastic game!  I can't believe I left this on my shelf as long as I did.  Originally I didn't care for the art style and the extreme slowness that is the first 10 hours or so when I played the game originally; but damn, after that, what a great story, with memorable characters and music. 

I don't think it is better than FF7 Remake, but it is easily one of my favorite games now =D.  A close friend of mine who is a huge Persona fan (I am the bigger FF fan) was excited to see how much I loved it and he just recently bought me Royal to play as an early birthday present which is on the 26th.

For now, I might take a break and play a different game before jumping into that since it took sometime to platinum.

 

Rating:  9.75/10

Estimated time to 100%: 100 - 130 hours.  (My final gametime was just over 116 hours.

 

Special thanks to the guys who wrote the 100% walkthrough guide.  Even though there were a few errors throughout, as long as you were proactive with what you still need to do/missed.  You will be fine.  Great guide overall =D
