Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@GirlVersusGame I meant you lol… @CaptD’s had so many milestones at this point that they only count every 100 for him now 😅.

So the century means your hundredth platinum. On PSN Profiles, it lists your milestones platinums… with #100 normally being the first milestone trophy hunters put some thought into. But you’re actually nudging towards #250 if you take both profiles into account, so I guess the hundred isn’t so important maybe.

I love Control btw. I think that was around my 24th/25th platinum back in the day on PS4. I’m looking forward to plat’n it again on PS5 at some point.

@psmr Oh I never looked at that milestone feature. I don't really count that first profile anymore as most of them were done with other people and these new ones were all solo so I know I earned them the right/clean way. I'm not saying multiplayer is the wrong way, I know there are wholesome/healthy groups of people who do engage in multiplayer regularly I've seen people on here talk about it before. I was too young and they were too old so now I'm done with that side of gaming and every trophy I get now is a reminder that I can do it on my own. I had very few single-player platinums back then and have gained most of those back already. My solo effort/journey has mostly been open-worlds/simulators/Indies and it's been very refreshing. I was always under the impression that I needed someone else to get this many trophies and that's not been the case at all.

I can't imagine how many CaptD has if you said every one hundred, maybe four hundred is my guess. I keep forgetting Control was a PS4 game but that tracks, I'm catching up on PS4 games at the moment and funnily enough most seem to have remasters now so I'm experiencing them for the first time but in a very good state of performance.

I'm not sure how close to the end I am. The last thing I saw was the start of the Ashtray Maze (it's based on Ash Tree Lane in the book) but with a Pony Walkman and a song that said 'take control' which will need to go on my Spotify playlist. I'd seen the maze before, this recent journey in had enemies and deeper exploration. I'll play again later tonight and make another push for the end.

@GirlVersusGame yeah don’t get me wrong, I still get a wave of relief when I check a trophy list that confirms that the plat is achievable without any multiplayer… but there really is some extra gratification from team-work and effective communication and executing a plan under high-stress scenarios. The best game I played last year was barely a 6/10 on metacritic… but the satisfaction of working together as a team to defy crazy odds made it a brilliant experience.

Holy cow, the big bad colonel gonna play the big bad DMC2? I can only say…. Godspeed, my old friend!
For me, I’ve been eyeing Digimon Survive and Persona 5: Strikers, two lengthy adventures.

@Yousef- the Devil May Cry 2 plat isn’t actually meant to be that difficult… by all accounts the hardest time I’ll have is actually forcing myself through it as it’s such a poor game. I wasn’t a massive fan of the first one tbh so I’ll probably hate this one. Why am I going to play it then you might ask… well I think I’ll like the later ones but my OCD won’t allow me to not play all of them 😅

Oooof, if you weren’t a fan of 1, you’re gonna have a bad time with 2.
🤘I understand that ocd a little too well hehe.
