Popular Post slender_adrian Posted February 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2021 #59 - Resident Evil 5 (PS3) Difficulty: 3/10 Enjoyment: 8/10 I played this game back in the day and I didn't like it, after many years I decided to give it another shot and getting the platinum for this game, for my surprise, I liked the game, it's a fun game to play, nice story, nice gameplay. Getting the platinum trophy for this game is really easy, the only boring thing about this platinum is the grinding you need to do for upgrading weapons and buying extra stuff in the game, but you can skip 70% of the grind if you have a friend that can help you out. Honestly I really liked this game. Next Platinum : Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arcanehornet_ Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) #307: Need for Speed (2015) This game is just pure fun. It nails the arcade racing genre perfectly, while also offering a very painless platinum trophy on the way. Picked this up for $5, it’s so much value for the money. Definitely gonna play the other PS4 entries after this.

Popular Post WayfarerFox Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Destiny 2 (PS5) #207 Traveler's Chosen Time to Platinum: 569 hours | Difficulty: 7/10 | Enjoyment: 10/10 Okay before I begin to say anything about this game. Let me explain the "Time to Platinum" part. I started playing this game back in March of 2020. I spent a lot of my time starting the trophy list by scratch. I spent the majority of this time doing mainly the DLC. For the seal back when Wayfarer was available. I spent the majority of my time doing this. I had access to the DLC for a long while and I basically had every other trophy unlocked almost instantly besides the trophies for the raids. I literally have had this list left with the two raid trophies on my list until about September 2020. I could of done it then but I'm usually a solo player when I play this game and the thought of joining a fire time to set up a raid etc. Kind of just put me off. So back in September @Mayellie and I decided we'd knock out this platinum for each other but we'd wait until the major DLC was being released. Since we realised the trophy would be changed. (Bungie are pretty good at changing the trophies rather than make them not gettable) We decided we'd wait for the big DLC to come out so see what it changed to. It made it basically worse in the fact we had to grind a lot more than we would of needed to do the Raid. When you start a big expansion. Destiny usually ups their light and you get dragged. So everyone starts at 1050. You then spend the next few months grinding to 1260. We had a pretty slow start figuring stuff out on how to get the best gear possible. Then all we did was just grind the same activities over and over again to get high enough gear to help us through. The time spent on this game has been astronomical and it will continue to rise. The platinum could of been done months ago but I decided to brave it out with my Destiny buddy and help each other out. There's a lot of variation to this game that makes me want to play it whenever they release stuff. I used to main a Titan character which is a powerhouse character built to tank damage and cause a lot of damage to. That's what I was at the start. Then I decided to go the Warlock route. Very good all round characters that are helpful for every activity. Then while I was doing my seal. I'm pretty sure I changed to a Hunter which is your agile, supportive class. Then I decided to go back to Warlock as that what I was most comfortable with. You tend to mess around with a lot of the characters so that takes a lot of time to go through them. So on my part I've spent a lot of time messing around on the game bc that is the type of game that it is. You get hooked and sink a ton of hours into it. They developers get a lot of things right with this game but at the same time they don't cater to solo players all that well. It was a little better this DLC giving you exotic rewards for doing certain tasks on your own. So things can get pretty stale if you don't have a team to get through anything and that's the case with me. I gave up playing it for a while because I didn't fancy going through the activities on my own. So I was dragged to do the rest by @Mayellie and honestly it's been a long grind. We've been trying to keep our sanity playing through it and towards the end, we got worried we weren't going to make it in time. Finding a third person for the strike was an issue but luckily we did and he was a great help. It took us 17 attempts to get through it.?? We did it in the end. The grind was such a payoff in the end. The issue I have with the grind though is the lack of pinnacle rewards you need to level up your gear. It got to the end of the September and we both bought the Season Pass that is on offer. It's always worth the money with the stuff that you get. The issue with it is. They hide pinnacle rewards behind the season pass. 2 of them infact. The issue with that is without them, you probably wouldn't get all the pinnacles done in time. You could if you did nothing but sit on the game the whole time but the fact we found that out after worrying. Kinda annoyed us because it essentially makes buy it. We're probably above average players. So someone who's average would have a hard time levelling without it and we did to. The only people who wouldn't are the hardcore people. There is a way to maximise your pinnacles each week and it involves all 3 of your characters but I'll save that method for another time. It would take a hell of a lot to write so maybe I'll write a guide that helps the newer players out or something. Keep a look out. The season pass content was great as well for sure, the rewards are worth it but the fact you get more pinnacles to level up behind that paywall is frustrating. The reason it's frustrating is the requirements to even enter the Grandmaster strike. The max equipment light level this season is 1260. Your 3 guns can't go higher and neither can any of your armour pieces. The requirement to enter the Grandmaster is 1275 light. This means you need to level up somehow right? Each season there's a artefact that you get from doing a quick mission at the start of each season. This is something that is essential. This is how you make the difference to even enter the Grandmaster. I'm not going to go much into it but Grandmaster strikes are essentially normal strikes with a whole lot of modifiers to make the game a ridiculous challenge. Modifiers like if your whole team dies you go back to orbit and have to start again. Ton of enemies that can only be damaged with certain mods. Mods you can only get from levelling up your artefact. For the most part it's not too bad levelling it up because every piece of XP you get from the game goes towards it. So essentially everything you do goes towards it. I think after all our grinding. She had an artefact at level 21 and I had a level 20 one. So you can imagine how close it was. We both went into the strike at 1280 light. The extra light from the artefact. The average player if they don't play it constantly are going to struggle getting the whole thing done. If you ever go for the D2 platinum you're going to have to make the game a priority and barely play anything else. We've barely played anything since November and the countless late nights just to do what we can has essentially been worth it. We managed to tackle the beast. I'm sure some godlike D2 players will probably think we're exaggerating but unless you play this game religiously you probably will struggle making the cut. Not only that you need the right Exotics weapons to help do some high damage. They are a different grind in itself. Not entirely needed but some work better than others. Then aside from the grinding you need to play the strike you want to do over and over. Learn the enemies points, see what champions spawn etc. Not only that Grandmaster is only available at the end of the season. So it's on a timer. It's not something you can tackle when you want. Grandmaster and Master DO NOT STACK. If you complete a strike on Grandmaster and get the trophy. You will have to do the current nightfall on Master again for the other trophy. When they were the raids. They would stack but not anymore. Overall, I'm very glad @Mayellie dragged me back into the game. Thank you so much for holding me up and keeping me sane these last couple of months. We didn't realise the grind would be this long. Don't get it wrong. The grind to qualify isn't hard necessarily but more time worthy. The pinnacles you need are behind actitives that will need a co-ordinated team like Prophecy. We grinded that each week for the pinnacle and the badass armour. It took a lot our sanity. We literally had to hold each other up because of the grinding and wanting to just quit and move on but if we did we would have to start all over again. We can finally rest now. So the grind isn't difficult. Then you have the activity which is difficult. So it's just an all-around grindy game even if the trophy list doesn't suggest so. Don't let the PS5 rarity fool you. The majority of that is PS4 auto pops but don't let the PS4 % fool you either. The trophy has changed from a basic nightfall on prestige. (Easy) Then to a raid (Co-ordination rather than difficult) to Grandmaster (You need all your skill and sanity) So I know if the GM was the base list. It would probably be UR or VR. The gameplay overall is one of my favourite games. I do really enjoy this game so I'm not done playing it yet. There's a ton more to say on it but I've probably gone on for long enough. There is a stack for PS4 and PS5. We're both saving the other versions we haven't done as Milestones. The trophies for the most part are so simple. You could probably get all trophies bar the Grandmaster and Master trophy in one sitting probably. It's rather simple. The DLC list is a whole different ballgame. I haven't completed it yet and I don't really have anything to say on it. I think I may write up a guide for the game soon and try to fill it with as much information as possible. I just want to point out as well, the way we've worded out posts to make it seem like it's a ridiculously hard game. One of the hardest out there. It's not with the right preparations. The issue is in comparison to other games. You're on a seasonal limit. Most games you grind 100+ hours for will always have the progress there. You can pick it up any time. Finish it any time. Online games and SP games a like. Pick it up whenever you want. The issue with this game is you're on a timer and a pretty strict one if you don't play it properly. You may think a few months isn't that a big deal and sure we could of handled the game differently. We would know we know what we know. You just can't afford to slip up. You don't hit that threshold. You don't have the right mods, you don't have strong weapons. You will struggle and you're being pushed by a clock. If the light wasn't reset each month to a higher threshold making it a grind again and the fact GM are basically THE end game activity and on a timer. Not to mention some of them are DLC which not everyone has. It just adds to the grind, commitment and difficulty and the relief when you get it done. Anyways, I'll stop rambling. I'm probably going to play the next season so if you need help with something or have questions then don't be afraid to ask. I can try to help as best as I can. Hell, maybe we could even team up sometime if you're really struggling. Close to my next milestone now. I should be done with Resident Evil 7 tonight. So maybe I'll be back tonight to write something for it. Since it's a great return to form. My 10k trophy is going to be Cat Quest 2 platinum trophy since I have the 1st as my 150th. Milestones don't always have to be hard ass games you know. They can be chill to.

Popular Post Ode2Destruxion Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 #29 WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship Now this isn't really my genre of game but I wanted to try out something different on the PS5. I probably chose the wrong game for that... As great as the game looks and feels, it is definitely for the more experienced player. The main aim is to win the WRC Championship. Most trophies will unlock on your way to winning this, and the ones that don't are fairly straightforward. But man did I struggle winning that Championship. The game is brutal and unforgiving. One fraction of a wrong movement and barring a great amount of fortune your race is over. You can restart the races as many times as you want but with some tracks taking close to 20 minutes to complete - be prepared to be in it for the long haul. You start in the minor championships and effectively gain promotion up the ranks by earning contracts so it takes a while to even get to attempt the WRC Championship. When you do make it you are confronted with a mammoth 78 races to get through (13 rallies of 6 races). I had my difficulty set to 50% and it was still rock solid. It doesn't help that I don't drive in real life and have no idea how to set the car up for racing but hey ho there was youtube for the second part. Basically if you have either great rally driving skills or substandard then it's still a tough platinum just due to it's punishing nature and the level of concentration needed throughout. Then add on the time it takes to complete it and you can probably only really enjoy going for the platinum if you are an avid fan. Not to take anything away from the game though. It's a solid... 7/10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Phoenix_argentea Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Platinum trophy No. 208! Resident Evil 3 So long, RC A good game, far away from perfection, especially when you compare it with RE 2 remake and when you remember that Capcom removed some areas, most of the puzzles, and recycled the Police Station from the RE 2. But it was a nice (and short) game, so the 4 runs required for the platinum weren't really boring. The final run on inferno mode + S rank (with no autosave and only 5 manual saves) was a nice challenge: not really difficult when you use the in-game cheats (infinite rocket-launcher + coins), you only need to be careful with the 5 save points (but when you clear in the legit way the Classic Mode of The Evil Within 2, then RE 3 is a walk in a park!). But the final boss is really annoying, because you need to dodge perfectly its attacks, otherwise you are dead and you have to start again.... What else? I really hated the spider nest part, but I loved the hospital part, and also the references in the Police Station bewteen the two games. Platinum screenshot with a very angry Nemesis!

Popular Post Gommes_ Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 # 123 - Rise of the Tomb Raider Platinum I don’t really know what to say about this game, I think I am just glad it’s over now. Part 2 was nowhere as good as I expected. While the original game from 2013 was some sort of positive surprise for me it also was entertaining throughout its playtime. Sure, the story was dull but the gameplay was fun as well as the crafting and the presentation. In general I had a lot of fun with it, maybe because I didn’t expect anything great and because the game was rather small. Rise of the Tomb Raider however was just too much. They were way too many things to collect and due to its more open world design where you go for everything else but the story, the story was hard to follow and you just forgot everything whenever things progressed. The game also took itself way too seriously while presenting supernatural events, undying soldiers and a dangerous corporation. The voice acting was not good and combined with the wanted seriousness it was more cringy than everything else. Oh and the AI acts either totally aware of you and sees you through walls or they don’t get anything and sometimes stand in T-pose waiting for you to kill them. Presentation wise it was like a Michael Bay movie where everything exploded constantly and where Lara ALWAYS ALMOST fell - So ridiculous! Things like that were dumb in Resident Evil 6 and they are today. The game still holds up graphically though and some tombs were interesting. I am not totally despising the game but it is something I wouldn’t necessarily recommend. Especially if you go for 100%. I’ve played the game for like 75 hours to get the platinum and to complete 4 DLCs. I am still missing some co-op trophies. Oh and getting the platinum is some work due to the score attack mode. It’s not hard per se but extremely annoying! I guess I won’t be playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, since now I definitely know the formula of the franchise and I don’t want that anymore… 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GoldenShaka Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 133 - SAKURA WARS ALL TROPHIES While I'm not a fan of visual novels (this one being my 2nd platinum), a good story is a good story no matter the gaming genre. Cool story, entertaining dialogues, delightful characters, good soundtrack. A little bit of combat. Now, that is the game, the trophies, hmm, not that much fun. My A tale of two readers glitched. I'm already used to have to replay some chapters for different endings, and it was very cool to have collectibles highlighted for new game plus. But having to replay tons of fight scenes to get S rank when you end using only one character because using other character than Seijuro is pointless (all other members of the team deal less damage - which is understandable, ) that is not fun, luckily you can play the whole time with him and still counts. I'm not good with cards games and a bunch of trophies for that was included lol, while koi koi is not really difficult I was very lost at beginning. Well, starting my race to platinum 150 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DefinitiveTJ Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 Platinum 89: Sly 3 And that concludes the trilogy once again. I completed the Sly HD collection before on a different profile but every few years the mood to play Sly strikes again and I'm back. I took a month break after the first two games and it really helped my enjoyment of the third game. For the first time I might even say that the third is the best in the trilogy. I like always liked the first the most because it's tight and all about collecting bottles and something about the simplicity of only playing as Sly is enjoyable to me. But it's clear that they attempted a lot with the third game and for the most part they succeeded. It has a large cast of characters that are all playable, although the controls can get a bit wonky sometimes. The locations are more varied than 2 and the missions are also better. The coolest thing is how they structure the story and how it builds to one large conclusion in the end. The inclusion of a challenge mode is a bit unnecessary, you need to complete certain sections or bosses with less health or in in a time limit. They are mostly easy but doing these after you just did them in the story adds very little except more play time for a platformer that already was quite long to begin with. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheArcadeKid Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 #196 - Assassin's Creed Revelations (PS4) My third and final platinum of The Ezio Collection. I only really expected to get the plat for AC II, since I never achieved 100% sync on PS3. So it's extra satisfying to have earned all three plats on PS4. And Revelations is still my favourite game of the bunch. Brotherhood was a touch on the bloated side, and AC II was far jankier than I remembered. But all told, it's been a fantastic experience all round. I had no real issues with the quality of the remasters, either. Well, apart from a little pop-in and some truly bizarre character models in AC II. Now onto AC III. Based on what I've heard, I'm already expecting a longer and more frustrating platinum. Possibly I'll get bored and call quits - but right now, I'm still hungry for more AC, so we'll see. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aCCzTaurin Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 #81 - Injustice: Gods Among Us PS4 I recently decided to go back and complete this game that I played years ago. Some parts was annoying as there was no way to keep track on some of the stuff. Difficulty wise the game was challenging but not as challenging as I was expecting due to the low percentage. Some of the trophies was really grindy (like most fighting games it seems). The play clock stoped at around 200 hours including menu time and such. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rias Gremory Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Platinum #120 Spyro The Dragon Uncommon: 48.75% Difficulty: 2/10. Enjoyment: 10/10. Challenge: 9/10. Music Remake: 9/10. Old School Music: 10/10. Grind Difficulty: 2/10. Genre: Platform, Adventure, Magic and Open World. Platinum Time: 22 hours and 50 minutes. Same thing from last year April 2020 and making up loss time. Let's begin: It's good to see Spyro back in the game for the first time ever in a long time and brought all old memories back and making me feel young again lol. Those Gnorc minions haven't change the slightest not even one big drop of green acid. This has shown nostalgic and pretty much brand new graphics in the background. I miss the old era and played this game since I was around 7 to 8 years old back then. First World: Where it all began for Spyro. Honestly the first world I saw back into it was picture perfect and it's nice to see some new shadows and colorful effects to the game and I liked it. Second World: Oh yeah, that place never changes at all. Gonna like the new and still the same old world from 20 years old. It's very nice to see re-visiting that place again. Third World: Yeah this one right here, Same old stuff and same crazy ass enemies seeing them again. Going through that world was fun and particularly superb at the very least. Fourth World: The Swamp Land. I never thought Activision did a excellent job and recreating and kept the same old vibe I come across again 20 years ago. I guess places like these remains the same spot as it is. Fifth World: I like this place call the Dream World. Again when I came across this place and I thought wow, It's so very clean, refined graphics and it has built everything to remake and shown alot of love to the game. Gnorc's World: Yeah here's the thing here, I hated Gnorc and his overlapped minion monsters makes me sick. I've defeated him and the rest of his monsters and ended his parade but no that didn't stop me there. After I defeated him I had to get 100% completion and rob every single of his treasure and now I am happy I got this done perfectly. Highly recommended for this game. Next Platinum: ???
