Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Th3solution It's funny you say that because it's one of maybe five games I did use on the Portal and it worked really well. After Oram mentioned the game I considered downloading it again, I'm still thinking about it. Build variety means no playthrough would be the same. You should definitely consider giving it a try. Though it will be very hard to put down, guaranteed.

@Yousef- The Y6 platinum isn't too bad compared to some of the Yakuza games as there's no completion list trophy and you can chest on the top level difficulty trophy by saving just before the final boss, completing the game, and then reloading your save and bumping the difficulty up rather than replaying the whole game.

It certainly helps it's a bit more of a streamlined experience than the bloat of Y5 too but that clan creator trophy is a real grind.

Enjoy!

@Yousef- I haven’t played it yet but have heard it was pretty good… a bit like an old school-Zelda by all accounts.

@Yousef- I have got plat for Tunic and.... I wasn't the biggest fan of it if I'm honest, like the art style is cool and all but the combat felt janky but hey I think it's still on Extra tier it's worth a go if it's free right?

@Yousef- I have actually been really enjoying going through the games on extra tier and getting the platinums the most recent example being Unicorn Overlord, need to find something light-ish before Pragmata and Saros come out!

Platinum #73 - Darwin's Paradox
Not a long game but I liked it a lot (it's a lot like Inside but funny rather than dark, and with more platforming)
Platinum is pretty straightforward - I got most of the trophies on the initial playthrough and it's mostly easy to find the rest using Chapter Select once you look at the trophy list.

@Voltan
Nice. I really like the look of that game, shame that I think it might become a hidden gem as it seems to have been overlooked.

@Yousef- haven’t actually heard of that but congrats! And good luck with #10.

@Voltan Glad to hear it gets your seal of approval as I've had it wish listed after seeing it on one of the recent showcases. And good work on the plat too! (and pleased to hear it's not too silly to get either)

@Thrillho Yeah, I also played (and finished) Planet of Lana this weekend - another small game in the same general genre (I got it on sale for like 5€ a while back).
That one has a trophy for finishing the game without dying - and while that's technically not too hard once you've figured out the puzzles once, I'm not looking forward to having to restart because of one mistake I make 3-4 hours in - so I won't be getting the platinum for that.

#64 - Risk of Rain 2

Sort of accidentally got this, the trophies are all item unlocks so I got it completely naturally. One of the best roguelike gameplay systems out there but I still think it has a content problem. The stages and runs feel limited in a way that other roguelikes don’t. Maybe it’s cause I don’t own the DLC. Still, great game. I’ll be putting hours into it even after the plat.

#65 - Spider-Man 2

That was easy. And not particularly satisfying. I dunno. It’s decent but I am very glad I waited until it hit PS Plus.

Platinum #152 Pragmata, Yup got the platinum already, what a brillaint new IP from Capcom but sure if it needs another game (time will tell). Trophy wise there is not a single missable trophy which is a nice change, and lunatic mode is no joke and also must be played on a new game, when I beat the final boss my hands were shaking 🤣

@Yousef- I've gone back to Tomb Raider collection, which has 284 trophies oh and there's no platinum for any of the games 🫠

@Oram77 Apologies if I'm too late, but if you have a digital copy of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, you can play the PS4 version and get three separate trophy lists for the three separate games, each with their own platinum. It's only the PS5 version that lacks plats, thanks to the new trophy rules for the current generation. Again, I'm real sorry if you've already made significant progress on the PS5 version!

@Yousef- How are you getting along with those Sonic Lost World achievements? Brave of you to attempt playing that game, let alone trying to 100% it. Not the Blue Blur's finest hour!

@Yousef- Good grief, I thought you were referring to the extra lives DLC controversy! Had no idea they'd locked other items behind a similar scheme! That's just awful, and yet another critical hit to a game which can't exactly afford to tank any more hits as it is!

Just so long as the experience isn't making you hate Sonic. I wouldn't blame you for walking away!

@Werehog ARE YOU ACTUALLY TWISTING MY NIPPLES?!? I'VE JUST GOT 100% FOR BOTH 1 & 2 (including the DLC) WHY THE FUDGE AREN'T THERE PLATINUMS FOR THE PS5 VERSION!?!
*the caps aren't directed at you

@Oram77 Of all the weeks to be AFK, I'm real sorry!

Sony instituted a new rule with the PS5, whereby each individual game launcher can only have one base trophy list, and platinum trophies must be tied to a base list. It's why Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 makes such a mess of your dashboard, installing all of its games separately so that they all get their own trophy lists with their own plats. Because of how it's presented, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on PS5 chose to list all of its separate games as DLC. The collection has no base list and is therefore not allowed a platinum.

Back on PS4, compilation releases like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy could sit happily under one launcher while including multiple base trophy lists for their individual games. This still works if you play them on PS5 via backwards compatibility. Subject to these older rules, the PS4 version of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered includes three separate base lists for its three main games, with their expansions included as DLC beneath them (click here, here and here). Plats aside, the trophies are identical to the PS5 version.

After some minor outcry, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered on PS5 switched things up by including a base trophy list for its first game, The Last Revelation, meaning it could come with a plat. The trophies for its two other games, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness, are listed as DLC and are therefore not required for the plat. Back on PS4, however, all three games get their own separate lists again.
