Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@johncalmc which one glitched for future ref?

@colonelkilgore You get a trophy when you hit level 30 but I didn't get it, and there's no way to rehit level 30 without replaying the game.

@johncalmc
I feel your pain. Sucks when you miss out on 100% coz the game bugs rather than any fault of your own. I would also be mad forever.
However, main reason I responded... loving the avatar. Initial reaction was `Great Scott` now can't stop thinking `one point twenty one gigawatts`

Just thought, have you checked when last cloud backup was? Maybe able to go back in time...

@johncalmc that’s annoying... I’ll do a back up just before I hit it then. Cheers dude.

Plat # 39 - Assassins Creed: Unity - Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would considering I only just got through Black Flag earlier this month. Did get a bit extreme in terms of the collectibles and all the co-op sync points but it’s all good.

@Kidfried cheers bud. My advice is, if you didn’t like the lock picking mechanic... deffo don’t go for it. 🥴

@colonelkilgore Congrats! I played on PC so didn’t have a platinum to go for but honestly, don’t know if I would have anyway. It would have taken quite a while but to be fair, the world is so pretty (especially on PC) that I didn’t mind just wandering around. Did you play the Dead Kings DLC? It was honestly pretty good considering it was free.

@nessisonett yeah Ubisoft really done a wonderful job in recreating revolutionary France... beautiful looking game. Some pretty cool missions as well... even within the ‘side’ stuff.

@colonelkilgore Yeah, I actually was familiar with the catastrophic state it launched in which honestly put me off AC as a series until last year. So glad it’s been fixed and it holds up as a legitimately good game. The combat especially is such a step up other than getting absolutely bummed by 14 guns whenever you try to run away.

@nessisonett yeah I’m really glad I wasn’t really into the AC series at the time, as I would’ve probably been very annoyed by the state of it at release. I’m gonna take a break from the series now though after playing 3 of them in the last 6 months.

Next year I plan on playing the Ezio collection at various points throughout the year. Really looking forward to eventually playing Ghost of Tsushima too, which obviously isnt an AC game (& I’m sure is actually quite a bit better actually) but I’d imagine that there are some similarities between it and the latest 3 in the series.

Plat #40 - Remnant from the Ashes - great game! Had so much fun this last two weeks playing this. It pretty much has everything a looter-shooter-souls hybrid should have. The combination of traits (perks) and menagerie of distinct gear make for some very interesting and creative ‘build’ opportunities.The boss fights/raids are exhilarating and for the most part well-designed. The lore is nowhere near FromSoft levels but still great with some really cool secrets hidden away... and it just plays beautifully.

@Arugula the difficulty is quite varied actually. I played 99% of it in co-op and there were moments where it just like we were hitting our heads against a brick wall but then I mopped up some stuff solo at the end and found it a lot easier. I have heard that not only is the game a bit trickier in mp but also I think my mates ‘world’ was harder than mine as his gear level was higher than mine.

Basically though, the tough boss fights and having to devise effective tactics in how to deal with them... and subsequently executing the plan is where the game shines brightest.

@Arugula well I’m gonna leave it installed anyway as I know I’ll get the ‘tweaks’ on this one and will then play through the dlc when I do. Let me know if & when you eventually start it and maybe we can get some co-op in if you’re up for it.

@Arugula no worries, I’ll leave it with you 😉

Aaaand there's platinum #32 for Ratchet and Clank!

It took two and a half runs of the game (stupid save breaking bug on the first run) but not the hardest in the world. A few faff ones like having to go and stand on some moving platforms and the groovitron trophy is an easy one to miss but overall not a bad one to get.

Some of the omega weapons in challenge mode are pretty overpowered so it was a breeze to get through really.

@Thrillho @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy congrats guys, R&C is not necessarily that appealing to me but I do plan on playing it in the build up to Rift Apart... and I’ve only heard positive things about it.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy yeah the ps5 boost is definitely a bonus... and the gameplay does look cool. The only thing in regards to the gameplay I find a bit off-putting is that there doesn't look to be a fine-aim, which I consider very important in shooters. I guess that due to the sheer freneticism that shooting purely from the hip is the only way it'd work or something.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ha, there was no way I was going to attempt that one either for Oddworld.

@colonelkilgore It's just a fun game. The story is fine and a bit silly and the variety of weapons let you mix it up quite a bit. There is one gun that has a long range scope and you do have to aim to some degree with L2 but it's not exactly precision aiming.

I also like the fact the game was a nice short length so there isn't much filler in there at all.

EDIT: The 60fps boost was an added bonus too!

@RogerRoger Congrats! And yay for trophy ding diversity! Motivates me to get the next one.

@RogerRoger @Th3solution I barely registered the different ding while somewhat exuberantly celebrating my platinum for The Witness last month 😂
