Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Gremio108 cheers buddy, I’ll keep an eye out for it going on sale and I’ll pick it up. 👍

@RogerRoger Had to double-check, but that's apparently number fifty-three. I was surprised to discover it was the seventh one this year, along with Detroit, Remnant from the Ashes, Concrete Genie, GTA III, We Were Here and Dirt 5. Bit of a mix there!

I got the Platinum in A Plague Tale and in I Saw Black Clouds.

@RogerRoger Cheers. I think it started towards the end of the PS3 era; I decided to make a conscious effort to never follow up a game with something too similar, unless I'm really feeling it. Keeps it fresh, you know?

Normally I like to mix up the games that I play, but there are the odd occasions where I’ll move straight on to a similar game or sequel. The Tomb Raider games, for example. I finished Rise of the Tomb Raider and moved straight on to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I still really liked Shadow, but maybe I would of enjoyed it more if I took a break between games, who knows. 🤷

If I play Mass Effect then I'm playing 2 and 3 immediately after. But if I'm playing Assassin's Creed Whatever I'm giving it a solid year before I play the next one. Depends what it is, really, but in most cases I like to play different types of thing so I don't overload on one style of game.

FINALLY finished up Sackboy Adventure for #98! That last trial is the closest I've come to throwing a controller in a very very long time lol! Happy to be done with it but definitely killed all joy for the game

@Kidfried @johncalmc Exactly. Come to think of it, I reckon it might have been playing three Assassin's Creed games in a row which caused me to make that gaming lifestyle choice

@redd214 Ha, I've unlocked about ten of the trials and they're starting to get tricky. Definitely dreading the final one

@Gremio108 yeah it's pretty maddening for sure, took me all weekend to do that one damn trophy lol. Hope you have a better run at it than I did!!

@johncalmc @redd214 nice!

I'm making good pace in Mortal Kombat X. It is not too bad actually, the trophy requirement that is, not as difficult or grindy as I thought.
I'm gonna have to buy the XL upgrade if I want to 100% it, which I will. Next time it goes on sale.

Platinum #53 - Doom 2016 - to echo everyone who recommended it, a great game! I don’t even particularly like First Person Shooters but I had a whale of a time… and it is sad-times that we’ve lost these developers to being exclusively xbox from now on as they are extremely talented.

Oh and @Sorteddan, yup playing that first mission on Ultra-nightmare lived up to its billing!

@colonelkilgore Congrats, brother! It is a great game. Figure you’ll roll on with Eternal?

Thanks @Th3solution nah, that’ll be a great game to look forward to I reckon… drop it in if all of my more ‘regular’ genres are feeling a bit stale. Might get the Eternal online segment done though, so there are no worries finding matches etc.

@RogerRoger @Thrillho @JohnnyShoulder @nessisonett out of curiosity, I checked my PSN level prior to and immediately after popping the Doom plat just to ‘calibrate’ the actual shunt it provides when in the low 300’s.

I was Level 328 & 71% prior to popping the last trophy (which was a bronze). Then once that and subsequently the platinum popped I was Level 329 and 6%. So on the low 300 scale a bronze and a platinum together are worth 35%, so the platinum alone is roughly 30-34%.

@colonelkilgore

@JohnnyShoulder quite 🧐

@RogerRoger cheers Rog, re-started the original Watch Dogs… so depending on whether the online trophies are still achievable or not, maybe that.

And another one bites the dust.

Plat #53 Mass Effect. What a great platinum. Was worried I may have to replay the game as I had even paragon / renegade points until I realised you had to have 80pct in one or the other - not combined! Also I should have checked on the genophage trophy, talking out of an impossible situation. I had no idea until I started the level I needed for the trophy, so glad I looked after doing all the available side missions. Phew. Ive started ME2 but may delay getting proper into it, such a game I need a break and I then I will be ready!
