Humonic Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Boosters kinda ruin this in a way.. But there's still some games that require pure skill. Feel free to add multiplayer games if you want, but it's hard to tell if someone did them legit or not. So, what 5 platinums would someone need for you to consider them a trophy hunting bad ass? For me it would be: Vanquish Shadow Warrior Shadow of Colossus Dead Nation AE (PS4) Terminator Salvation Games with online trophies that still make me go.. daaaayum Injustice Mortal Kombat 9 Far cry 2 Killzone 2 Lost planet 2 You're a boss if you get those 5 legit.. I'm not taking anything away from boosting here, these are still massive grinds on there own respectively. But no one can argue that it takes real skill and determination and maybe some luck with server population to get those games done legit. If I see anyone with those plats.. especially terminator, I immediately see them as a trophy hunting bad ass... and maybe a crazy person too but whatever. What platinums if any make you go... If a top 5 thread like this has already been done.. please delete this one. Or don't.. just lock it and leave me out to dry... cheers m8.

Pineapple-Hero88 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) i don't really see the need to feel like a bad-ass but why is "Terminator Salvation" is the list i finished it in less then 3 hours solo its easy and i didn't feel good after completing it just a empty platinum. And i only played it because my friend wanted to race me to the platinum, i won by an hour hahaha.

skateak Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I almost have Vanquish. I just could never beat Challenge 6. I would get the last Boggey to less than 1/4 inch of life left and then get killed. Man that would make me rage. It has been over two years now so maybe I will try it again. Here is a list in no specific order. 3D Dot Game Heroes Rock Band 3 Yakuza Dead Souls Doom 3 BFG Edtion Asura's Wrath Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Binary Domain Warhawk Fight Night Round 4 Lost Planet 2 White Knight Chronicles 1&2 Edited April 14, 2015 by skateak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Half-H3ro Posted April 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) First of all, Terminator: Salvation is a joke right? If I see someone who's got a platinum under 1% they're almost always considered a badass. If they have more than one, props to them. I have Red Faction Guerrilla and Rocksmith 2014, which both took over 100 hours for me to complete I'd say. I have my sights on Far Cry 2, but it's not essential to me. It's always nice to see a 0.??% plat. So I guess, 1) Red Faction Guerrilla or Far Cry 2 I also like to see people who have diversity in their platinums, some music games - Guitar Hero / Rock Band / Rocksmith, As a guy who has played a lot of them, anyone with a plat in a music game gets my seal of approval, and if you get the Rock Band 3 plat, WOW, but also that's an expensive OHMYGODWOW kind of plat. I have Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock which is one of my favourite plats, as well as Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero, which weren't as hard, but commitment is needed for both. I'm very close to Green Day Rock Band, but I'm not a drummer, so I don't think I'll ever get it... 2) Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock or Green Day Rock Band RB3 is just a golden snitch! I also like to see gamers who have managed to get more than one platinum trophy on a single day. I remember I finished InFamous back in the day and was very close to getting the LittleBigPlanet platinum, so I ploughed through what I had left to do and got 2 in one day, I've also done that with Call of Duty Classic and Red Faction Guerrilla, as well as, ha, Terminator Salvation of all games, and CSI Fatal Conspiracy. I also got 3 once, I stayed up all night to finish War in the North after completing Borderlands 2 and then boosted my last remaining Red Faction Armageddon trophy! And I have two 4-plat-days, 14th and 26th of October 2014, I did Assassin's Creed on the Vita, Ratchet and Clank 2 and then Sound Shapes on the PS4, twice, to get my first four, which isn't that impressive because of Sound Shapes. My second 4 came from The Last of Us Remastered, Rayman Origins (Vita), PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (Vita) and InFamous Second Son. It would've been more impressive if I'd crammed First Light into there as well, but sadly I ran out of time and got that particularly pertinent platinum the next day. So close to 5! I also like seeing people that have managed to get a plat pretty quickly. I guess Terminator Salvation can enter here, not on difficulty, but how fast it can be completed. I did it in under 4 hours, what's everyone else's time who has it? Obviously discounting Sound Shapes for this, or any game with auto-popping trophies. The fastest time to legitimately (and legally) obtain the sweet reward at the end of the game. What else... I like to see people who've put in the commitment to get 100% on the games with loads of DLC, like Burnout Paradise, Red Dead, LittleBigPlanet, Fallout, Skyrim etc etc etc. It shows that you've enjoyed the game a lot, which is the point, is it not guys? I also respect those who don't go for DLC, whether it's because they can't afford it, or because it's been so long since they finished the game that they're no longer in that game's mind-frame. Which is why I like games like The Last of Us Remastered and Borderlands Handsome Collection, they're great fun to play the game again since it's been a while (maybe not for TLoU, but I'd play it again and again even if they put it on Vita or ported it to the PSone or 2!) and you get the DLC with the disc itself. And what about those impossible games? The games you've heard are craaaaazzzyyy! The games you tried and just couldn't do. Surgeon Simulator. My god do I suck at that! OlliOlli2, I tried for the first few days to try and get the platinum and I got pretty good compared to my attempts at OlliOlli (I gave up literally half an hour after downloading it to my via) but I was still in no way good enough to get the plat. I'll be at 70 something percent for a loooooong time. The Binding of Isaac! I love the game, but I don't think I'll get that platinum for a long long time either, damn you The Lost!!!! It shows diversity in gaming by not just going for AAAs as well. 3) Surgeon Simulator or OlliOlli2 I still need 2 more plats though, so what would make ME consider YOU (SOMEONE ELSE) (SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME) a badass?4) Mirror's Edge WITH 100% cause my god those time trials are annoying! And lastly 5) Here's my last message: Finally I guess the number of Platinums you have is a considerable, but not essential, factor to badassery. If you've got 250 plats, nice! How many of them are LEGO games though? Is Hannah Montana in there? Megamind? Ben 10 Galactic Racing? No? Ok then you, he or she, are a bloody bonafide badass! You may have 10 plats, but if they're a range and are interesting and make you wonder whether you should go for that, then they, too are a badass. At the end of the day, we're all on this site, we all get trophies, does that not make us ALL badasses? We are ALL badasses. GO MAKE ME PROUD!

And i only played it because my friend wanted to race me to the platinum, i won by an hour hahaha. Agreed - Terminator has no place on this list, might as well have put Hannah montana at the end. Not sure why you specify Dead Nation AE - since its the same content as Dead Nation on PS3? Anyways, on topic: Its not Platinums that impress me, its 100%s, a plat without 100% is just..... So wrong..... 100%s i respect: ARKHAM CITY- the enormous grind to get the few bronze trophies for doing all he challenges as the 3 dlc characters shows dedication for the glory, rather than the actual trophy values DISHONORED- the Dunwall City Trials alone should command respect. Brutal. LOST PLANET 2- enough said. Get this and you have my utmost gaming respect, good sir/ m'lady. STREET FIGHTER IV / SUPER SFIV - the skill level required for the trials puts my megre skills to shame ZEN PINBALL - you are either god, or insane, or both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nst3rG4m3r007 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think anyone who platinum's fighting games is a badass. mainly because I suck at fighting game challenges no matter how hard I try :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razza Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I don't believe that any list of games make me think someone is a bad ass at collecting trophies/Platinums due to everyone having different tastes in games. There are some guys/girls who kick ass at JRPG games and are bad ass in there own right but on that same note people who have collected some difficult FPS plats also fall into the bad ass category 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniq Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) If it's just platinum trophies, I'd say these 5: XCOM: Enemy Unknown GTA IV Max Payne 3 Rogue Legacy Super Street Fighter IV Add Catherine as a bonus plat.

My_Name_Is_Age Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'd say ; 01 - Max Payne 3. NYMHC?... Yeah, serious skill needed for that. 02 - Killzone 2. Elite mode?..Good luck! 03 - Metal Gear Rising. Defeat all bosses on Hard or above with no damage?! 04 - Dark Souls. Never played it but hear it needs some serious dedication & patience. 05 - (I'll get back to you on no.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Blue_Warden Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Call of Duty: World at War - Getting all the veteran trophies for the platinum is insanely hard. Lost Planet 2 - One of the trophies require you to be number 1 in the online leaderboards. It's next to impossible now considering how high the scores are. Star Ocean: The Last Hope - You have to beat the game 3 times in each difficulty plus collect items that are missable. Doing all of it can take roughly 500 hours or more... Metal Gear Solid 2 - Getting all the dogtags on ALL difficulties isnt too hard. But doing 511 VR missions for the platinum, most of which require perfect timing, is enough to make anyone rage. Super Street Fighter 4 - The trials. 'Nuff said. Edited April 14, 2015 by liquid151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blanc Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Not sure why you specify Dead Nation AE - since its the same content as Dead Nation on PS3? I'd assume they specified Apocalypse Edition because unlike the PS3 & Vita versions of Dead Nation, Apocalypse Edition requires the Road of Devastation trophies for the platinum, as it is not DLC this time around. As for me, I don't really care what platinums or how many a person has, as long as they enjoyed getting them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aela Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Eh, mostly fighting games, such as: • Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena • Street Fighter IV • Super Street Fighter IV or 100%'s, such as: • Sine Mora • Gundemonium Recollection • Cloudberry Kingdom Platinums like Razing Storm and Lost Planet 2 I find impressive to an extent, they only really show how much grind you can stand. I also find if someone has platinums for games such as Mirror's Edge, Ninja Gaiden Stigma Plus, Max Payne 3, Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1/2, Call of Duty: Classic, Call of Duty: World at War, Catherine, etc etc, then sure, I'll happily call them badass if it makes them feel warm and squishy inside. All of the Guitar Hero, Rockband and Rocksmith platinums are very impressive too Most people confuse grind with skill these days, they just see the rare platinum and consider it impressive, when it's not always exactly true Now, this person I consider to be a true badass RAZING STORM: 0.12% LOST PLANET 2: 0.17% WARHAWK: 0.38% GUITAR HERO METALLICA: 0.41% DCUO: 0.73% Lol at the DCUO platinum, all you really do for that is level up 6 characters to level 30 and it includes no skill at all, it's easy and is just grind.

Dragon-Archon Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 For me, it would be platinum trophies that requires skill.

Popular Post madbuk Posted April 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Boosting is legit... You're still earning the trophies, it just takes a different skill set. Boosting requires co-ordination, teamwork, you need to be able to follow orders, if you're the host you need to be good at improvising... I'm sorry, but your opening statement is total BS. Boosting is just as legit as playing normally. Sometimes boosting is harder due to shitty matchmaking. A 100% in Uncharted 2 and 3 is impressive, boosted or not, for example.

Half-H3ro Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 While boosting does remove the skill needed, the chance required to match up, and the difficulty in getting some trophies, I don't think it makes it an illegitimate strategy for getting trophies. Sure, games are harder without boosting, but boosting is just co-ordinated gaming, and we'd all prefer direction rather than misdirection, amirite? There's no way I could've got the platinum trophy in Red Faction: Guerrilla without boosting it. It's just not possible. Therefore, labelling it as the coward's way out is just wrong. Sometimes it's the only way out. Where then, do you draw the line? I played the Modern Warfare 3 Spec Ops with a friend online to get some trophies, was I boosting then? Or should I have matched up with some complete stranger who may or may not have been as good as a friend I've know for over 10 years? Certainly not as trustworthy. So, yeah, boosting isn't a bad thing. It makes it easier and takes away a little of what the designers wanted originally, but it's just like playing with a friend. And that's sort of what it becomes. I've boosted with hundreds of gamers and they're all on my friends list and welcome to boost with me again, because they earnt my trust and respect as dedicated gamers. Which is what we should all be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
