They probably meant no story DLC like Left Behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plans were already in place to integrate these trophies; why not put them in the base game. Since God of War (2018), Sony now requires its developers to not include any difficulty related trophies in its base game list (i.e. for the Platinum Trophy) This isn't just a 'rule of thumb', but a policy for SIE/PlayStation Studios published games. PowerPyx has confirmed this, and I have a friend who has also privately mentioned this to me in the past. DLC and patches are free game, so developers who want to include more difficult stuff can do so through that medium. If you backtrack it makes complete sense.

I'll just never agree with it. They don't want to hurt sales. Gotta cater to everyone now days, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel_Wu Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I'm fine with it so long as it's allowed to do it on ng+ and use accessibility options such as slow-mo and lock-on aiming. I can't imagine going against the rat king on grounded mode without any help, it even killed me once on my easy mode ng+. I don't recall any boss fight as tough in TLOU part 1 even in grounded mode, bloaters are nowhere near as scary Edited August 10, 2020 by Nathaniel_Wu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alaquia Posted August 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) why is everyone acting as if they have a 100% profile which is now ruined by those 2 trophies? if you didn't like the game, carry on to the next one you'll enjoy and just play it I'm looking forward to another 2 playthroughs, but I'll wait for the ps5 to arrive to go for it Edited August 10, 2020 by Alaquia 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling there was some sort of mandate by the higher ups at Sony. Probably because easy plats sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozuli Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Hmmm I think it might be possible to get both throphies in a single playthrough if the permadeath is an accessibility option. For example you play grounded the whole game and keep a save at the final encounter/checkpoint. Then finish the game on grounded. Afterwards revert your save and put permadeath on. As long as permadeath is not required as a starting option, then I think we can bypass an extra run. Grounded will probably need a full run from the start since your difficulty switches to "custom" once you change some stuff. Anyway lets try things out when it becomes available Edited August 10, 2020 by Laozuli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepEyes7 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well, I still have to do Grounded on TLoU1 so it will be a Grounded Marathon for me =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers need to stop adding entire playthroughs of the game as DLC trophies. I too only borrowed the game so I either need to borrow it again (friend lives in a different state, so $10 shipping back and forth) or I need to purchase it again. Then I have to play this very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY long game two more times, both of which will be unenjoyable. Glad I got to experience TLoU II because it was a great game but fuck right off with the DLC NG+ bullshit. Then just don't play it. Not like there's no other options. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodytears1666 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The only thing that makes a permadeath to me doable is if I can go there fully loaded NG+. Have died only 3 times on hard, so this shouldn't be an issues, just to be more careful. Grounded is a different story, but with autosave it is still as easy as it could be, now just have to start to use weapons instead of hoarding ammo:). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are so butthurt that the game finally has "hard" trophies, don't go for them. Also, you will more than likely be able to backup saves and revert to an old one in case you die, requiring only one additional playthrough. Skip the cutscenes and follow some speedrun strats and you are done fairly quickly. This website has a big fat completion percentage right next to your name on your trophy card, just because not having 100% doesn't bug you that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just come off like a crazy person haha It's clear you haven't looked into this at all. Look at how fast people put the game down. I don't doubt it sold well, but that's zero indicator of a good game. The first was a classic. The mob was going to buy this game regardless. Go look on youtube at actual user reviews opposing your echo chamber. Might just surprise you how crazy a turn this series took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniixFn Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well, Im probably giving this a few months for sure. I’d be 100% willing to do it again if they add a “left behind” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadsh0tdoubleG Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Haven't plat TLOUP2 yet, so maybe my NG+ playthrough will be on Grounded (assuming you can do it on NG+). As for permadeath, it will be interesting to see more details about it in the future. The wording makes me believe that it is not going to be as annoying as people seem to think. As long as it is not "Mein Leben"-esque, I welcome the challenge. In any case, I know some trophy hunters don't like these difficulty-related free DLC, but, personally, they give me more reasons to revisit these games, especially masterpieces (*prepares for the incoming heat* ?) like TLOUP2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoShifter Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I couldn't even finish the game once, because it's too boring (mainly the story and characters) Stopped shortly after the falsely advertised scene where "Joel" muffles Ellie from behind. Anyway, hope I can get the eventual 100% on the second playthrough rather than a third.. Edited August 11, 2020 by EcoShifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewyWilko93 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I do not think permadeath will be too bad on light while fully upgraded. Grounded is going to be tough, really tough, it's gonna 30-40 hours for a silver trophy. Pretty savage. I am going to give it a crack though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
