Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

Hello, February, how are you pet?

#74 - Thank Goodness You're Here - A rather charming and very funny little game. If you're a fan of daft, Pythonesque humour and Yorkshire folk or just excellently illustrated and animated games then check it out. A straight forward plat, I did a blind run and then followed a guide for a second run to mop everything else up. Also, Matt Berry!

It wo reyt gud, 5 Tins of Peans out of 5 👍

@Bundersvessel
Great stuff, the question though is are you a big pie or little pie man?

@CaptD Only big pies in our house mate, enough to feed a family of four for 40 years and still have enough left fo supper.

Sooo the for like the past week I have been smashing my face against the wall trying to get these two trophies:

Listen I have done some hard trophies (getting platinum for Outlast 2 or Rebirth for example, heck I have done incredibly grindy trophies (dodging 200 lightning bolts in a row or max out the sphere grid for FFX for example). But I'm sorry these have to be the most egregious trophies of all time, last night I must have spent like 3 hours trying to find a Western Moose but couldn't... Also the fact that they are only BRONZE is the biggest slap in the face ever.

Edit: Currently have 134 out of 178

@Oram77 Is that Red Dead 2? The animals and flowers are why I don't have one hundred percent. I'm convinced some just wouldn't spawn. The fact that the game is so old and they are still Ultra Rare speaks volumes, grats and how did you not lose your mind? Did you spend a whole week doing that?

@Bundersvessel A wonderful game! I messed up the trophy in the pub so had to run through the game again to get it but the humour is spot on and it's just the right length to not have the humour outstay its welcome.

Platinum #71 - The Entropy Centre
Not quite as good as Portal (and especially Portal 2) but following a similar design and quite enjoyable.
Wish the chapter select had some kind of counter for found and missed collectibles (emails) because it's pretty hard to remember which ones you already got even with a guide - which meant I basically played through 90% of the game again to get the trophy. Luckily it's pretty quick if you already figured out the puzzles before.
Can recommend to casual puzzle game fans for sure.

@Voltan
Congrats, I hadn’t heard of that game and I did enjoy Portal 1 and 2 so I’ve added it to the ever growing list.

@Oram77
Good luck. Strangely the moose I just stumbled across and I do recall reading that people were swearing about that creature.
My main problematic hunts was a certain owl, perhaps a white owl I think and some damn feathers for a hat or dress, I needed a certain amount of them and I could just not get the things to spawn.
Took me about 200hrs to plat that and I’m wondering if I would do it again if a PS5 version turns up, I probably would because I really enjoyed RDR2.

My latest is Homefront the revolution although that isn’t strictly true as I have a minor kill related trophy to get which I will get in the DLC.
I really enjoyed this game, sure it has dodgy AI and lacks polish but if you go in with the correct expectations then you can see the vision that they were working towards.
I didn’t have any trophy issues, well just a minor one with the capture related trophy and it didn’t pop despite all points being captured but upon starting a new game (I did two runs) it popped after a couple.
The story and world building was pretty good and it felt much like a Far Cry Fallout so if that appeals then definitely give it a go and it is often on sale for around two quid, the dlc which I still have to do is often very cheap as well.
Difficulty 4/10, time about 40hrs. Be warned there are MP trophies which aren’t difficult but do require another player and online is pretty dead but there are often many sessions arranged on psnprofiles.

@Thrillho Aye, very true, perfect length. If there was more of a fleshed out gameplay experience then they could have possibly pushed the scope wider. Reyt good anyroad

@Voltan @CaptD Congratulations, both 👍 I definitely need to have a look at Entropy Centre, sounds right up my straße.

@Oram77 Good luck with the RDR2 plat, I hope you crack it pal.

Having finished A Little to the Left earlier today, I mopped up what trophies I could this evening and now all that remains is getting through the remaining 80/100 daily tidys which should put the plat a popping 1st May 😅

#72 - Thank Goodness You're Here
Funny little game.
Obviously I missed some on my first go so I played it twice.
The whole thing takes about 2 hours, so it wasn't a big deal.
I enjoyed this one a lot.

Platinum #74 Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth

It was a journey. I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I'd never tried the series before and jumping in so late could easily become a situation of mass confusion but they did a very good job of tying the world and the characters together. Time-wise it was just over two hundred hours. It would have taken longer had I not gotten past a major roadblock by buying a level pack on the PSN store, and while that sounds very unscrupulous it wasn't without warrant.

Around level fifty I started seeing really weak returns in experience, even with buffs from food and gear. I had three options, grind one of the dungeons (for days) or buy the DLC that includes a new dungeon and grind that. The new dungeon comes with Newgame+ and offers better experience, but there's another way too. I was level fifty five when I finished everything and it just so happens they sell a boosting pack with fifteen levels, I took it as a sigh from the Gods of Gaming and went for it. Nothing is missable but I'd recommend taking a photo of a rainbow when you see one because there's a trophy for that and some people waited hours for one. I waited just over an hour for mine.

The infamous rainbow. Next up I'll be trying my first walking simulator as recommended by Th3solution.
