Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Cornaboyzzz I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who didn’t click with Undertale. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me.

@colonelkilgore @Th3solution well, I guess we all agree on this one.

Just got to trophy level 200, and the Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order to go along with it!

@Just2Milky kudos pal, SW:JFO had a pretty fun trophy list from what I remember.

I appreciated Undertale a lot more after doing a genocide run, which has properly challenging boss fights, an eerie atmosphere (you're pretty much playing as a serial killer) and cooks up a satisfying satire of traditional RPG game design. A few of the characters in this game only really get a chance to shine in that route, IMO. One of the best indie games I've played this generation.

I downloaded a guide on how to get the Hardcore Risette trophy on Persona 4 Golden. That's the first step towards charging my Vita and finally going for it.

@Just2Milky Good job. Fallen Order is a nice platinum but a pain when you need to find one collectible on one of the huge maps.

I might start a petition to have compulsory collectible lists for games that require you to get them all for trophies

@Thrillho @RogerRoger Yeah, I thought it would be quite the pain, but with the guide below, coupled with the fact that you can check and see what you’re missing made it way easier than I was expecting.

@Just2Milky Yeah, it was easy enough to figure which ones you were missing but the lack of fast travel meant you could spend an age trekking across the map. And the map itself is utterly useless as well which makes figuring out routes a bit of a headache.

Great game though!

@Thrillho I was in Kashyyyk and going up to the origin tree. Tried to save time using Shyyo bird, and I got transported back to where I was 15 minutes ago. Fast travel even on just meditation points would have been so helpful. Star Wars has given worse explanations for things before.

@Just2Milky Ha, I think I did the same thing but managed to have a save just beforehand so didn't lose all that time. And yeah, a post-game fast travel would have been fine. I can get why they wouldn't have one before seeing as you revisit a few of the planets.

@RogerRoger *immediately downloads Fallen Order on PS5 just for the cheap platinum

The trophy for unlocking all skills in Scarlet Nexus - sounds like it makes sense but after finishing the game and the majority of side quests I was nowhere near the level required. I guess this is designed to be achieved in another full playthrough on NG+ but even then I'm not entirely sure I would've gotten it (and that's 30 hours of play time).
Instead I'm grinding one late-game encounter every 2 minutes to level up from level 67 to 80. Currently at 78 and it will probably take another hour or so to get there.
I don't like trophies like this.

Edit: ok, didn't that long, fortunately. Got all the trophies I could by doing one part of the story. Now I just got to do the other and I'll do it by playing on easy

Took, like, ten hours of just no life'ing it across the day, but I've now platinumed God of War.

@Ralizah congrats, the endgame content is pretty hefty... but I definitely felt that was where the combat system was utilised most to be fair. Hope you enjoyed it at least half as much as I did.

@RogerRoger congrats to you too rog 👍

@RogerRoger @colonelkilgore Putting aside that I don't think the level design is well set-up for backtracking to find collectibles (a gripe I'll likely get into it in my eventual review), I had a lot more fun with the optional and post-game content than I did the main campaign. It was really nice being able to play the game at my own pace.

Ragnarok won't be a day one buy (I didn't love this like I did Horizon), but I definitely think I'll get it eventually.

Would you all like to have the option to re-earn platinums? Ok could see a system whereby Sony would allow a person to restart a game with a cleared trophy list and be able to earn them all again. Then maybe you’d have a superscript number above the trophy indicating you’ve earned the platinum twice (or three times, or four…). Maybe it would be worth 1/2 the number of “points” toward your overall PSN level on your second run, then 1/3 value for your third run, etc….

Personally, I can’t think of a platinum that I’d drop my current games to go back to re-earn, but I’m sure there are some I’d eventually like to do.

@RogerRoger @Iver

There’s the platinum for Donut County

A silly but fun little game and a few clever trophies. Only 2-3 hours or something to complete and mop up the last few.

Well worth the few pounds it costs in the sale at the moment.

#314 Final Fantasy VII - It's never been my favorite in the series, but it's still a legendary game. With PS Now bringing a few FF in the coming months, I guess I'll be going on a trip down memory lane. But first, it's time for the Remake !

far cry 6 marks my 19th platinum! around 45 hours give or take.

a great game. loved my time with it.
