Goro Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 PSLS published a video last week on their top 5 most 'shameful' platinum trophies - https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/24485-top-5-most-shameful-playstation-platinum-trophies/ But this week there's a new video, this time on their top 5 most 'impressive' platinum trophies and here it is: So how many (if any) of these platinums have you got on your list? Unfortunately i've got none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFinalEmblem Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was gonna be a little mad if SO4 didn't make the list, but it turned out to be #1. Also, that "out of your mind" comment by Edge is accurate for everyone who has the Platinum or is trying for it, me included. Those damn BTs are killing me.

Aela Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised Time Crisis: Razing Storm isn't on that list - I'm sure it's one, if not, the most difficult and time-consuming platinum there is?

Popular Post Killua-ID Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 I´m sorry, but these platinums are not impressive in any way, ecxept of Gran Turismo, because most of them just recuire a lot of grinding which can be boosted. I would have liked to see more skill based platinums, which maybe will not take hundreds of hours to obtain, but dedication and skill such as Ninja Gaiden, WipeOut, Fighting Games and so on. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasai_ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I personally don't find massive grind type platinums to be impressive but that's just my opinion. I agree with Killua, I would have liked to see more skilled based plats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I also agree, i think they should have maybe done 2 separate videos, one for top 5 most time consuming platinums and one for top 5 most difficult platinums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I remember going for EndWar years ago before I just stopped trying since I'm not great at strategy games, but I had no idea it would require both a physical and digital copy. Funny thing is one of the rarest trophies in the game is on my list and I wasn't even trying to get it. I would like to think that counts as something. And wow, I couldn't imagine going through the trouble of getting Star Ocean's at all. I would say the dedication to that is at least something.

BlindMango Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good video! I like how they mentioned the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakk55 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Star Ocean was definitely one of the most time consuming platinum I've got, up there with White Knight Chronicles and Demon's Souls, although I was expecting Mirror's Edge to pop up in that video due to the damn speed runs.

StrickenBiged Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I agree with previous comments. These are impressive because of the dedication involved (or maybe not, perhaps some players just enjoyed the games that much!). Personally, I'm impressed by people that have the plats on a lot of the really hard indies and downloadable games that have been coming out lately. Surgeon Simulator, Geometry Wars 3, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (where the plat is available), and Rogue Legacy spring to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie1989 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Mainly time related but I suppose always still impressive to have. Lost planet and Gran Turismo both failed to gain my interest after an hour or 2 but I may go back. Bad Company would be one I definitely wanted but the plat is unobtainable!!

edu_gamer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah it clearly seems that the list is based mostly on the grinding needed in order to achieve the Plat, which is impressive in terms of dedication but nothing else, I would have made the list with games like Guitar Hero: Van Halen, where you could get the Plat in a matter of a few days, but the skill needed were enough to wreck the hope of most, I don't know just pick a few genres with extremely hard Plats and put one representative for each category, maybe something like GH:Van Halen, Street Fighter IV, Wipeout HD, Max Payne 3 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. I mean some of then can be a little grindy, but that cannot be the primal source of its difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihadalifeb4this Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm not trolling. I'm very,very serious. I swear on my hamster's grave. If Battlefield: Bad Company can't be plated anymore how are people still getting plat? This is totally not a rhetorical question... I promise.

Benalicous Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't even own any of these games anyway my most impressive ones are DOOM for the ps3 and the Outlast one for me personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you earned 'Catch the bad moment' before it became unobtainable you can still get the plat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wait, so they based their research around the numbers on this site? They do know it's not representative of the whole PSN community, do they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 In my opinion there cant be "most impressive" platinums. I mean, there are 3 Shooters in the list. I dont play Shooters, which automatically results in the fact that Im not thinking a Battlefield Platinum is impressive. Going this route, a FinalFantasyXIV Platinum would be impressive for me (600h+). ... maybe? But Im the "play what you like"-type, so, I say it isnt possible that there are "most impressive" trophies. They get just impressive when you are playing this game. GianaSisters has on PS3 4 (of 12!) trophies which are <0,5% (alt least on PSNP) So, it is impressive for me, because I have the game in my list, but why others should care about that?

Dalez1658 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Star Ocean 4's difficulty is highly overstated but it has been out for a pretty long time and was one of the first "lunatic" platinums so it's had a notorious reputation for quite some time, and I think that's the main factor. I can think of a number of games that would be far far more "difficult" to platinum, but I'm sure everyone has heard half a dozen stories about how SO4 takes eleventy million hours to platinum and is super difficult so it's seen as "impressive", meanwhile legitimate 11/10 difficulty games like Raiden IV might get overlooked because barely anyone has heard a thing about them. I mean, SO4 wasn't even my longest platinum (Mugen Souls gets that award ) A bit surprised Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 didn't make it anywhere onto the list.

Superbuu3 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Lol, impressive suggests its something that not everyone can do. No one is impressed when someone does something they can do. This is just grind heavy trophies. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Wipeout HD Singstar (legitimately although i'm sure most would've boosted otherwise theyd have been on pop idol or something lol) and the last few could be any of the Platinum Games ones probably lol. Actually even then i'd probably be more impressed with the MW2 plat because of the skill required for the Spec Ops section (theoretically I could do it, but either way it would take skill obtained through perseverance). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aexuz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I agree with many of you guys in the list about Star Ocean The Last Hope. The game would be more suitable for a time consuming ranking. Took me arounf 700 hours or maybe more to get it but it was mainly because of the ridiculous time consuming battle trophies which were very tedious and boring to get but only a few were a real challange. The one I will always remember is Lymle BT #100. With all the constant crashes and freezes on the game that 3 hour dungeon grind and the 10 minutes fight giving the last hit with her, I have to admit wasn't an easy task at all. There are way more harder and impressive plats out there that I would have liked to see in the list. Edited February 25, 2015 by Aexuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this has now raised an intersting question do you think within 700 hours the average person could get some of the high skill level plats?

ihadalifeb4this Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If you earned 'Catch the bad moment' before it became unobtainable you can still get the plat. Thanks for explaining that. For a moment I had doubt that somebody may actually be cheating. I feel so much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNP is crap i left Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah, i don't have any of these platinums and i don't plan to either. Still, i give major props to the people who've platted Star Ocean. When it comes to Skill Vs. Time-Consuming Platinums, i think it's a tie for me. If i'm getting a platinum of that kind it depends on how much i love the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
