3 - Max Payne 3 (Lack of commitment)

 

A brief explanation on a few of my interesting choices: I played A Way Out with a friend and it was such a blast to play that game and laugh our heads off. Medal of Honor Warfighter I believe needs some skill cause you have to get a ton of XP and a certain amount kills with weapons in which skill is a huge factor (I didn't boost this game, played legit). Nowadays it wouldn't seem very skillful cause it is easily boostable. The Evil Within is plain hard. One hit kill mode called AKUMU, beware its a tough one but oh so sweet! Just Cause 2 is one of the grindiest games and its very repetitive but can be fun in chunks. GoldenEye I boosted and it was still tedious. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is very boring but still a wonderful little game. Can't wait to read others!

[tnaires]

Most boring / tedious platinums I earned:
1 - CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 CAMPAIGN REMASTERED - Immortal trophy is terribly bugged 
2 - Witcher 3 - Combat grind trophies are awful. Here's looking at you, Master Marksman trophy.
3 - Virginia

 

Platinums that I did not achieve, but wanted:
1 - METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - This unfinished masterpiece ends up being bloated with unfun filler content to achieve the platinum. Who wants to play the same mission 4-6 times?
2 - Dragon Age: Inquisition has a very punishing hardest difficulty setting related trophy that unnecessarily gate-keeps the platinum
3 - Mad Max requires you to complete an unreasonably long list of difficult/tedious gameplay challenges to achieve the platinum.

4 - Shout out to Drawn to Death for having a few really grindy trophies not worth the time.

[Drag-On-Detritus]

Most Enjoyable

 

- Red Seeds Profile/Deadly Premonition (All 3 stacks each time this has been my favourite trophy experience. You just have to beat the game & do all the side missions. That's exactly what I want out of a 3D game trophy list: one comprehensive playthrough is all it takes to get everything done)
- Sayonara Wildhearts (Did both stacks, second time around was just as incredible, love this game!!)
- Eagle Flight (Yep I actually enjoyed my rarest plat, loved the timed ring race style bits especially, still my favourite VR title as well)

Most Grindy

 

- GTA V (Pretty obvious entry but hard to forget all those months spent on the online)
- Starwhal (Saw someone else list this & remembered I'd done it. Not recommended as it's definitely too grindy)
- Valkyrie Drive (This is the worst offender by far because they make you grind for points you don't need after beating everything else which would incentivise purchasing the DLC characters which I couldn't buy on my JPN version even if I wanted to. Possibly the scummiest and most conniving business practice injected into a trophy list I've ever seen)

 

Skills

 

- Axiom Verge (Not all that hard of a game but I did it all in 2 playthroughs to up the challenge a bit. This is technically a recommendation thread so I reckon this game fits in well here)
- Psyvariar Delta (I thought this was easy but it's still a bit rare. This one almost belongs in most fun. The 2nd game in this series totally got me used to bullet hell a couple of decades ago. I recommend Delta wholeheartedly)
- Seraph (This one maybe belongs in most grindy but you can opt to have a harder time with less grind. I did about half & half and actually had to work for the top spot in the leaderboard trophy because there were people still playing it post plat who were putting up massive scores for a time. Excellent game though, true hidden gem)

Boring/Tedious

 

Gun Gun Pixies/Cross Ange (Shade are inept when it comes to system data saving. So many playthroughs of these games are needed that wouldn't be if they had just gotten their shit together with system saving like every other dev...)
Far Cry Primal (This lasted 2-3 times longer than it should have. It almost stopped me playing FC 5)
Kaiji VR The Nightmare Bridge (It took several extra play throughs of this thanks to a trophy or two not popping despite the requirements having been fulfilled. The game doesn't last that long but it felt like an eternity each time. The actual gameplay was beyond horrible and full concentration was required each time. I don't think I'll ever find a worse VR game than this)

 

Wanted but didn't get:

 

I have some unfinished unobtainable games but with those, almost every time I saw the shutdown notice & went 'nah don't care' so I picked games that could still be done but just haven't.

 

- Carly & the Reaperman (I'm at 94% & will have to replay almost the entire game to get the remaining collectables, because of the stupid collectable system. Waiting for the motivation to do it again & purchased the stack in the meantime 'cause I almost may as well do that & be meticulous with it this time. Love the game but the collectable system is terrible & It was a shithead move to make the challenge levels unlock that way imo)
- Night of Azure (Was really looking forward to this but after playing it for a bit... I just found it so bland & boring to play. Zero motivation to go back to that but maybe one day.)
- No More Heroes (I guess after playing through 2 Wii versions & the X360 version before this one I just couldn't bring myself to spend the time for the plat on ps3. Again might be nice to revisit in the future when I've forgotten about the tedium of the odd jobs on the overworld progression system.)

[Phlegeth]

Most fun platinums:
1 - Gravity Rush 2

Both of these games are a ton of fun.  Gave the edge to the second one because it was a lot bigger to play around in.  And different enemies and two new forms.
2 - Okami

The only reason I platted this was there was an event on the forum.  @Superbuu3 hosted it IIRC.  There was like 15 of us and we all played it together.  And platted it at the same time.
3 - Spyro 2

This is my favorite of the trilogy.  I liked the worlds.  And the game was just cute.

 

Most grindy platinums:
1 - Final Fantasy XIV

1000 of everything.  All the crafting.  All the gathering.  All the FATEs.  All the Leves, that's the worst one.  You can only hold 100 allowances and you get like 6 every 18 hours.
2 - Neptunia Action U

These Lily Ranks.  Even climbing the tower over and over and over again didn't make it better.  You could only do two characters at a time.  And the gameplay wasn't that interesting.
3 - Digimon Story: Cybersleuth: Hacker's Memory

Medals, Field Guild, and Tamer Rank.  Medals and Field Guide weren't too bad.  Brought over completed data from the first game.  But the Tamer Rank.  I had to play through the game almost twice.

 

Highest skill based platinums:
1 - Drakengard 3

This might be dubious.  Because it's just that final boss.  And the skill is questionable.  It's the camera and lag that'll throw you off more than actual timing.  And of course the troll at the very end.
2 - Lightning Returns

Again for the most part, it's not bad.  But again the final boss and two superbosses make it tough.  You really have to understand the battle system.  Especially for the two superbosses.  One will fly away if you take too long.
3 - Peggle 2

Some of the challenges were hard.  And clearing all the pegs on some stages was infuriating.

 

Most boring / tedious platinums I earned:
1 - Neptunia Action U

See above
2 - Secret of Mana

Going for orbs and rare equipment drops.  And the magic grind.
3 - Couldn't think of anything else.  If I'm not enjoying a game, I stop playing it.

 

Platinums that I did not achieve, but wanted:
1 - Mega Man ZX

You have to S Rank all the time trials.  I'm not good at going fast.
2 - Dandara

Same with above.  I have to beat the game in under 1:17.
3 - Monster Hunter World

I am just too lazy to hunt for crowns.
