That’s kind of a comment on how trophies have kinda ‘opened-up’ gaming in general to me... not just how it allowed you to get more appreciation on Hitman. Some of the times I’ve had to chase a trophy, doing something that my particular play-style would never naturally lend itself to without a ‘push’... have been some of the best gameplay experiences I’ve had. I find that trophy hunting, particularly Plat hunting really pushes you out of your gaming comfort zone.
@RogerRoger much simpler and easier than the first one. Pretty much just 100% the map and do a new game plus run which took me about 2.5 hours this morning. A few combat and random trophies sprinkled in but not difficult at all. My game clock says 16 hours so a quick one as well!
#294 Wreckfest - A huge load of fun, especially with the wheel ! Nice and easy plat, online wins can be boosted with a friend.
#295 Days Gone - A pretty solid game, clearly better than what the critics said. Nothing revolutionary but it works really well, and it looks AMAZING (or maybe it's boosted on PS5 ?). Plat is easy but too long.
#296 Maneater - A funny game but too repetitive, better in short sessions. Quick and easy plat.
#297 The Pathless - I didn't like it at first, but then it gets better once you start to unlock upgrades. Overall it wasn't bad, and boss fights are amazing. Easy plat.
13 Sentinels platinum now done, what a great game that was and done in just under 40 hours. That makes 22 for me now, question is do I go back and finish some already started games or play something new!
@colonelkilgore I have no idea. I know I started it the day before New Year's Eve though. So a while. If it wasn't for one really annoying trophy - reach level 50 - it would be a super fun platinum actually. That last one took hours of grinding though because by the time I'd finished everything else I was only level 42.
@johncalmc that doesn’t sound too bad actually, I remember playing it back in the day (2 profiles ago) way before I ever considered chasing trophies and I must’ve put well over 300 hours in. If I could remember my details I’d be interested to see what trophies were left to get actually.
@johncalmc@colonelkilgore Skyrim was my very first Platinum back on the PS3. I was never much of a trophy hunter until I added a new workmate to my friends list and he was my first friend with a higher trophy level/score (I have a small friend list). It prompted my competitive spirit and I noticed I was close to the Skyrim one as I had played loads anyway.
I had to start a second playthrough though as I had made one of the daedric artifacts unobtainable through a quest choice.
A couple of times I have pondered getting the PS4 version and doing it again as it's a great game but it is a big time sink and I have other stuff to play.
@BearsEatBeets I think I could probably still Platinum it on PS3, actually. If I had it on PS3. And if I could be bothered to use my PS3. Which I can't.
@BearsEatBeets isn’t it strange how the trophy chasing bug takes hold? I distinctly remember a conversation with a mate when Sony were first about to introduce trophies and I just thought it stupid... just couldn’t see the point.
Then after eventually popping my first plat many years later, I have bit by bit got more hooked on the hunt. It’s definitely accentuated my enjoyment of gaming too.
@colonelkilgore Definitely, it can seem kind of silly but it can really help you get more out of games. There can be something very satisfying about that little trophy pop-up when trying to do something tricky. I never take it as far as doing something that's not fun or getting a game just for an easy Plat but will occasionally do something slightly grindy if it's a game I like. Getting the 50 crossbow headshot deaths in the Witcher took a while and isn't something I'd have done otherwise.
@LieutenantFatman hey, got all the s ranks on MGS: Peace Walker now... don’t suppose you could help me out with the Divine Wind trophy when you get 10 minutes free?
@colonelkilgore
Wow, that was fast work, well done! I just have the one mission to go, locate id card. Just need to ace that cut scene at the end, haha.
I don't have the rifle for divine wind unfortunately, a friend assisted me with that one back in 2013. I think it's quite difficult to get hold of?
@LieutenantFatman ahh ok, yeah I hate rng drops for items required for trophies. Never mind, I’ll get grinding tomorrow afternoon and hopefully it’ll drop within the next few attempts.
And yeah, had a really productive last 24 hours, s ranked my last main mission and around 40 extra ops. I’d scheduled MGS: PW to be done and dusted by the time February starts and I might just get there.
