Longest Platinum

[TugaSonic]

With timestamps, it would be Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi - 1 year and 9 months. Started playing but after the story and playing the custom hero story I got bored and then my brother got another game. When to play that game then got another game and then I forgot about DBZ. Time passed and I started looking at the games I never got the platinum and I restarted it. Got lucky with the online portion, met some players where we simply played against each other (no cursing in messages just a nice game or you got me comments). Even met a french player who helped me get the online trophies I was missing (mainly the collect 30 titles or more).

 

With missing timestamps currently, it would be Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - 3 years and 6 months. Bought the PS3 after the school year finished in 2011 (it was in June if I remember correctly). It was shortly after the PSN attack so I didn't bother creating an account and where I was going for summer had no free internet available. A cousin of mine had the PS3 and he lent me a few of his games which were Uncharted, Sly Trilogy, Infamous among others. At the time got almost all the trophies minus the complete the game on Crushing difficulty that I considered too hard and I gave up. Years later saw Uncharted 1 and 2 on sale for 10€ if I remember right. While I was only interested in the second one I remembered not getting the platinum so I also bought the first one. Replayed it and finished the game on crushing getting the platinum.

 

Currently, the game that would break my longest record it would be Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves since I'm still missing trophies and the only ones I have are trophies with missing timestamps since I obtained them before creating my account. And for anyone wondering, I stopped playing the game mainly due to fatigue. Played the 3 games in a row and by the time I started playing the third game I was already feeling sick of playing Sly Cooper games.

While this account is fairly new, I don't have any serious timestamps or achievements to speak about.

 

But it took me 880 in-game hours to plat Gran Turismo 5 on my previous account...

[Charizarzar]

COD: MW2. 5 years and 1 month. It's almost the same amount of time for Walking Dead: Survival Instinct but I should hopefully get it finished before the week is up. 

[Kenpachi-cL]

Saints Row: The Third

All 81 Trophies 
May 27^th 2017 • Completed in 3 years, 8 months

So top 10 for the time being:
1. Ni No Kuni PS3 5 years 2 months 2 weeks

2. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune PS4 1 year 8 months TODAY!

Mostly RPGs and episodic games. No surprises really

For me, it was AquaPazza: Aquaplus Dream Match, which took me 4 years and 4 months to complete, legit ?

[thefourfoldroot]

Just wondering which game has taken people the longest.

For me it's Table Top Racing: World Tour at 2 years and 7 months.

I just didn't know you could tune your car as you want for the powerslide challenges, so I gave up in frustration before reading about it in a guide years later! Once I knew that it was easy.

 

edit: Now finished mahjong after 3 years 20 months after finally learning to love Mahjong.

I don't really know yet TBH, I'm only trying to achieve MP related trophies so that I guarantee the platinum for later.  I'm racing against the shutdowns but at times I try to finish quick games, especially when I feel that they're garbage and I'll never want to go back.  I then get all excited because I actually finished a game and then subsequently crushed when I'm reminded by another shutdown announcement and I go back into MP grinding mode.

 

I feel that by the time I finish the PS3's obtainable MP trophies, a decade will have passed.  Then I'll get to my backlog to 100% all of them and... Yeah... Now I'm sad =(

Words 'n such

[Lordguwa]

i have a rogue legacy platted in 2 years, 6 months and 6 days

reason: 15 man run was too hard till i figured out you could use Cloud Saves on good runs. went back in there and did it in 10 runs.

[RunItsAShark]

PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate All 27 Trophies 9th December 2015 • Platinum in 1 year, 6 months

 

 

 

Why:  Boring AF game, that I literally can only play in 5 minute increments without wanting to die

[Evertonian]

F1 2011 on the vita took me 6 years and 10 months

 

It was a combination of lack of ability for the gold medal times and a lack of desire for the grinding out 8 seasons of wins

 

Will probably surpass that total with some of the old ps3 stuff I am looking at mopping up

[Potter13579]

Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions took me 6 years, 9 months to platinum which honestly I really enjoyed the game, but I just never personally owned a copy of the game for several years and had to piggyback off my brother's copy, and also I think I may have overestimated the difficulty of getting the highest rank on all the levels.

[Masamune]

Mugen Souls at 3 months, 1 week, 1 day... Why? Well if you have any experience with this game, you know why.  I actually consider that time fairly good, I only took 1 break to play something else while I was going for it.  

[Urabraska-]

Alien Isolation PS4 4 years 2 months. Mostly just got bored grinding out 100 deaths as i only died like.....twice doing all the other trophies and it just fell into the sea of back log.

[cckerberos]

Mirror's Edge 45 of 51 Trophies 16th March 2018 • Platinum in 9 years, 4 months

 

The first game I earned a trophy in. This got delayed for a bunch of different reasons. I didn't try for the platinum when I first played it in 2008. I came back in 2010 but got frustrated when one of the trophies didn't pop for some reason. I made my first serious attempt at the platinum in 2017 but didn't finish it before I was away from my PS3 for nine months. Then finally finished it off in 2018.

[Fr_0zt]

Hmmm I think KZ2.... self explanatory.

[Terra]

Grand Theft Auto IV. 7 years and 3 months. All because of the Online Mode!

[Jamescush147]

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell - 2 years, 6 months, 6 days

 

i just couldn't get into it.

I've been wanting to try it again and since I had nothing new for last New Years; I re-tried it.

And really got into it. and loved it. ?

Thus I bought Saints Row: The Third & Saints Row IV: Re-elected. ?

 

[Jonatosaurus]

Furi in 2 years and 1 week.

I got it when it was free with the PS+ but i gave up on the 4th boss.

I saw it on sales this summer so i bought it and It only took me 2 weeks (13 days) to get the platinium.

 

 

[Redgrave]

Call of Duty: World at War is at 5 years and 8 months mainly since it was a game I went back and forth with before I really started caring about trophies and for some reason I didn't realize I only had one trophy left I could easily do by the time I did it so I probably could have gotten it sooner

[Stormverse]

The Technomancer which was 7 months and change.

 

Because I burned out in the middle of my playthrough with it, and told myself I'd quit trophy hunting... and 7 months later, well... here I am now hunting trophies so I guess that didn't work out (and I ended up getting the platinum in The Technomancer when I came back).

[Cassylvania]

Is there even an easy way to check this? I have a few that are about a year, but that's for 100%, not the platinum.

 

Anyway, it's probably Dark Souls 3, at 10 months, 3 weeks. I couldn't beat the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, so I cried and played other stuff for almost a year. Eventually, I went back, beat her, and platinumed the game five days later.

[DaikichiKawachi]

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale took me 5 years, 11 months, 3 weeks. I got it for free when I purchased my Vita, along with Assassins Creed Liberation. I can't remember which game I played first but they would have been the first trophies I earned as I didn't own a PS3. I just completed it in November of 2018 because of the server closure. Sound Shapes is 2nd in 3 years, 3 months, 1 day for the same reason.

[Gray-Fox-44]

1 year 11 months 1 week for CoD:BO2. My nephews brought the game home and loaded the trophy list on my account (before I started trophy hunting) and we earned 2 zombies trophies. Almost two years later someone lent me the game and I platted it in about 1 week. As for 100%, it took me 3 years and 8 months overall, since I only bought the DLCs when a relative of mine gave me his copy of the game when he sold his PS3. Quite a journey. ?
