Most Recent Platinum

[raphasauer 83]

#34 - God of War Ragnarök

The Bear and the Wolf

 

My first platinum of the year (nevermind that I should've popped it in December)

What I liked the most: awesome game, with awesome characters and awesome story. And the bosses.

What I didn't like: hunting birds and digging stuff all over the nine realms. That is tiresome.

Platinum #42
Crypt of the NecroDancer

 

 

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?:

 #151 - Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek

Platinum

Platinum in 7 hours, 58 minutes

Rarity: 63.41% (Common)

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

This is my first Artifex Mundi game and I really like the formula. The puzzles are fun, especially the Hidden Objects, and the solutions are logical with no gimmicks to artificially increase the difficulty. I will probably complete the trilogy this year.

 

 #152 - Chicken Police

The Chicken Police

Platinum in 4 days, 20 hours

Rarity: 38.96% (Uncommon)

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 7/10

 

This game is a must play for anyone who loves noir like me. The voice actors are excellent and the universe created by them is fascinating, but I wish it had a little more action, more plot twists and that the ending wasn't so obvious. Regardless, I would love a sequel.

 

 #153 - Omno

The Enlightened

Platinum in 4 hours, 24 minutes

Rarity: 57.33% (Common)

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 5/10

 

Too bad it's so short. After all skills have been unlocked the game could've used them better in the last few chapters. And the puzzles get easier instead of more challenging. Also, I had a little problem where I just couldn't grab onto a surface even though I did the correct jump. After trying for 30 minutes I finally grabbed it without having to do anything different. The ending is heartwarming though.

Thoughts: For a game centered around scantily clad girls fighting I thought the story was actually pretty good and relied less on perversion than I'd anticipated.

 #433: Trials of Mana

 

My very first Mana game! All in all, not a bad one. I like a lot of the character and Enemy designs, the gameplay is repetitive but it works. Though of course after my third playthrough I was about ready to be done.

 

 

 #434: Survivor

 

Admin controls and nothing else. Cheap I know, but here it is.

 

 

 #435: Extreme Power Tripin

 

Unfortunate case where a game works well enough to be completed, but not well enough that it doesn't get annoying to do so. I like the idea of different forms and different attack combinations and a unique abilities, but with how tedious and annoying the loading is (especially when you're doing something as simple as pressing the pause menu) it got aggravating really quick.

 #249 Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising

 

So this is the prequel(maybe?) companion game to the kickstarted spiritual successor to Suikoden. Unlike the main game, this is a 2d hack n' slash. It's not bad, but I hope it doesn't represent the quality of the main game. The running animations are stilted, and the content is very much fetch quest: the game. Combat wasn't very deep, but flowed well enough for the most part. I believe I was at around 20 hours when I hit the plat, and I certainly didn't feel like investing much more in it. I am withholding some judgement to see how it ties in with the main game, but as a standalone product, it's slightly above meh, mainly due to the character interactions being amusing.

Platinum #42 + DLC 100% - Middle Earth: Shadow of War (January 17, 2023)

 

 

Trophy Statistics

 

The Good

• Orc personalities have been taken up a notch
• Crunchy Arkham-style combat
• Looting and crafting system that stays in it's lane
• Exceptional graphics and production values

The Bad

• We are still living in an age where we hold "X" to run in a game with analog walking controls
• The story is better than the first game, but that's not saying a whole lot.  Tolkien purists will riot.

Middle Earth: Shadow of War is a sequel in the most classic of videogame senses.  Every knob and dial present in the first game has been turned up to eleven.  More skills, more systems to juggle, more online features, bigger DLCs, more maps.  At first it can be pretty overwhelming, but the game does a great job of slowly introducing the new features, and for the most part all of them feel natural. The real meat and potatoes - "fucking with Orcs" - has been preserved and is by far the strongest feature of the game.  The Nemesis system really does emergent gameplay well and it would be fun if we saw it in more games.

 

I found the second DLC, The Desolation of Mordor to be a pleasant surprise and an interesting take on the trials we saw in the previous game.  From a trophy hunting perspective, this one is much much easier than the first.  Probably the most difficult has you killing a Captain with an Olog, riding it buckin' bronco style.  I did find the online stats finicky, and spent a rather long time leveling up my Fortress Defense ratings and becoming frustrated when the numbers in the online menu wouldn't match what I was seeing out in the game world.

 

I avoided this for a rather long time as I felt Shadow of Mordor was just the perfect amount of schlock and any more layers to it would be unwelcome.  I'm glad I was wrong!

(Both versions)

 

 

Shoutout to @B-I-G-DEVIL for testing if the cheat codes disable trophies or not (spoiler: they don't) and to @IBadDriverI for making a video about it.

 

Basically if you have PS Plus and access to the PS1 Classic collection you can get these two platinum trophies for free with minimal effort in about ten to fifteen minutes.

 

Game itself aged poorly from what I've seen and can be done legit in about 10 to 12 hours.

Platinum #46

Watch Dogs (PS3 Stack)



The PS3 version suffers from pop ins and slight performance drop but otherwise, the actual game is alright. A lot of the side content are a bit on the repetitive or tedious side but the main game-play is decent by my low standards. Surprisingly, i can still find other players to hack/tail rather easily (In the main game that is). Bad Blood's DLC is fine as well but $15 ($18 on Bahraini's PSN store) is 5-8 dollars too much for something you only gonna touch once.

#2276

 

Whew, let's hope a second post on the same day in this thread doesn't count as spam (spoiler: it doesn't).

 

Anyways Jitsu Squad from the small new Tanuki Creative Studio is a kickstarter-funded cartoonish sidescroll brawler for up to 4 players, and definetly a passion project.

 

You get hand-drawn animations and colorful visuals in this not-so-serious but over-the-top brawler where you control one of four anthropomorphic...ish characters through 8 levels to defeat some demonic bad guy and his henchmen. The rock soundtrack adds to the 90s Saturday morning cartoon vibe you get here.

 

Gameplay may not be as deep as lets say TMNT Shredder's revenge but still you get a variety of moves and combos, and enemies where you actually need those abilities in order to do some damage.

 

Jitsu Squad also has a ton of references and nods to other games and movies, e.g. Bruce Lee's fight versus Kareem Abdul Jabbar or Wolverine's Berserker Barrage from the Marvel vs Capcom series. Raccoon character Hero strongly resembles Haohmaru not only in hairstyle but in combat-style as well. Also there's cameos like Yooka-Laylee (there's a trophy tied to them) and Maximilian Dood and his now-deceased dog (RIP), and you can mimick the EVO moment 37 between Daigo and Justin Long - with a raptor as Chun Li.

 

The 8 level are not ground-breaking new, such as a pirate stage, an ice stage or a horror castle, but each got its own type of enemies mixed with the omni-present Emaki Ninjas (who got a purpose as they drop the scrolls you need to learn new moves). 

 

For 30 Euros I got four playthroughs and about ten hours of gaming until the platinum, as you need to beat the game with all four-characters. The platinum is straight-forward, with the only missable trophy being the one where you need to turn a boss into a chicken (play as Jazz Amun the frog, pick up a chicken stick as secondary weapon, then keep it and use it on the boss as the killing blow). I enjoyed the game very much and had a blast, all four characters have a different move set and added something new to each playthrough.

 

I doubt many people will play this, but this game would be great for PS Plus and definetly deserves the love. A passion project and great entrance by this little studio.

Fun: 8,5 / 10

Platinum number #33: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes Of Heaven 

Overall: 7/10

 

 

 

As a big Jojo fan this game was quite enjoyable, it has a solid gameplay like the dragonball xenoverse games, but what I was really surprised on was the story, it has some good plot twists and it's so good to see all the characters interacting with each other even though it's not canon it's still really good.

Latest Platinum + 15,000th Trophy Milestone

 

very relaxing game, reminded me of a simpler version of Rime. never heard of it but noticed @Thrillhelm mention it and the very next day saw @dieselmanchild playing it lol so decided to try it out.. it was 'free' on premium after all. 

 

 

Congrats on 15k trophies that’s huge! And Omno was a really beautiful little game. I saw it in the Extra games for this month and it caught my eye immediately as it looked sort of in the same vein as Journey and those types of relaxing games. Well worth checking out while it’s free. 🙂
