Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

I've played and completed 12 games so far this year, 0 platinums though

Edit: actually 10, almost 12. Going for 24 in 2017. Destiny 2 might slow that one down.

@themcnoisy I shoot for 12 platinum trophies a year. That has been my goal for the last three years (2017 included). In 2015 I got it and 2016 I only got 7. Currently I'm at 5 through today with the possibility of picking up #6 by the end of the weekend.

@vegeta11 I just bought batman the telltale game to give me a chance lol. 12 a years too many for me. If I start a big rpg them that's 6-8 weeks blown away, 7 a year I think is a good target!

I'm trying to get the platinum trophy for Velocity 2X, but, good god, those last ten or so levels are rough customers. The sheer perfect timing you need to have with some of these levels is insane!

Not the worst thing in the world for normal levels, but the ones where you're controlling two ships simultaneously are really throwing me off.

Maybe I should see if these last few levels are easier to play with the DS4...

Got the platinum in Odin Sphere on PS4. Then I played Dark Souls II but I'm not getting the platinum in that because I can't be bothered to beat the game like four times or whatever it takes. Now I'm playing Mirror's Edge Catalyst and I'm not going to bother platinuming that either I don't think. Probably too tricky for my old thumbs.

@Ralizah I hate that point in games, the frustration and playing past the point of the game being fun.

@booshy89 how many you on altogether Booshy?

Plat #44

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier

@themcnoisy I guess the pain is part of the experience. One reason I was so happy about platting Velocity Ultra was because of how brutally difficult it got in later levels. Same sort of thing here, although I HATE HATE HATE this thing where you control two ships at once with a passion.

The other 95% of the game is great, though, even if I prefer the relative simplicity of Velocity Ultra.

@booshy89 wow that's crazy 😜

@Splat That's one tough platinum lol

@Ralizah I have Velocity it was my first free psplus game on Vita! But only finished 2 or 3 levels.

It is when the game crashes on you... TT update your game engine already.

@themcnoisy The Velocity games are fantastic schmups. The focus on tight, demanding game design is fantastic, and it's so easy to quickly restart a level that it's easy for a single attempt at a hard level to become an hour long obsession with getting a perfect score by killing and collecting everything under the time limit.

Granted, I perfected the first 35 or so levels of the game fairly easily, but that last bunch can get rough!

Perfect game for the Vita, as level attempts usually don't last for more than a few minutes at most. The hardest ones expect you to do a perfect run in under a minute.

@Splat Good god, I remember getting the platinum for Corpse Party: Blood Drive. The game was designed so poorly that it constantly crashed in the last chapter, making the platinum run... a good test of one's patience, to say the least.

Just picked up Plat #6 for the year & #39 overall last night when I platted Skylanders Imaginators. Now time to go back to work on finishing Darksiders Warmastered and continuing the work on Injustice 2.

I'm at PSN level 16 now with 6 platinums. 3 this year — Tales of the Borderlands, Life is Strange, and The Order 1886. Don't judge! I know they are all easy ones!

Platinumed For Honor.

This game had quite a few bugged trophies which prevented me from getting Platinum sooner.

Over the weekend I finished off the quick but fun adventure that was The Day of the Tentacle. Plat #7 for the year and #40 overall. Need 5 more to hit yearly goal of 12.

Trophy number 600!!

Got it in The Crew and couldn't be happier as it's a refrences to one of my favorite movies of all time Back to the Future.

The trophies for Dive Kick are dead because no one is online.

@booshy89 No way I'll ever achieve that, congrats!

I just got my sixteenth platinum, being Parappa The Rapper; a short, though sometimes very frustrating plat.

Just got the platinum for Crash 1. Never doing the time trials in that game again.

@KratosMD @booshy89 Thanks guys. Definitely felt good after getting it.

I also nabbed Crash 2's platinum last night. Been playing it concurrently with 1. I'll take a small break from Crash though. Warped requires relics for 100%, and I'm kinda burnt out on time trials.

Good luck to you guys!
