@RogerRoger
Thanks.
Oh yes, I am fully aware of what comes next. 99 will be Knights & Bikes. Had been in my backlog for ages but should be achievable in a couple of days @<10hours.
And for 100... Well I scrolled to the bottom of the list the other day, wondering which was first plat I achieved and when. Turned out it was Lego Marvel Superheroes back on PS3 in 2014 (at least the first I got on current account - I had a previous PS3 that died that had never connected online so never synched with servers). Anyhow, as I just begun Lego DC Super -Villains it's seems amusingly fitting that 100 should be another Lego. But DC instead of Marvel, Villains replacing Heroes. Seems to make sense to me!
So that's the current quest for the next few days. And then I can get started on my PS5 backlog!
Happy days.
Congrats to you also. Always nice to pick up all in one go on a game you've enjoyed.

@RogerRoger I actually quite liked it… for what it was. It made me smile… and that was more than enough for the ridiculously low sale price that I’d picked it up for. This will undoubtedly be an unpopular opinion… but I enjoyed it more than both Telltale games that I’ve played so far. I know a lot of people really enjoy them but I honestly have to give maximum effort just to stay awake through them… but that wasn’t the case with Donut County.
Platinum 69 - 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - Great game! Took me a while (most of my playthrough in fact) to fully appreciate it… but yeah what an epic sci-if tale… and the battle sections start to get really epic towards the end too. Nice trophy list too, most of which just pop as you play through the game.
I’d recommend it to everyone who is on the fence… but you need to commit to powering through some hours where you question your decision to have started it in the first place.

Good work once again colonel.
Guess it was the ending that swung it for you then, was surprised to see you give it a 'great game' after reading earlier impressions elsewhere but glad it clicked with you eventually.
I do like a good sci fi yarn so may keep it on my radar
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@Sorteddan thanks mate… yeah, I was going back and forth on it but I was really enjoying pretty much everything about it by the end. It’s crazy how much you ‘know’ each individual character by the time that you get to the big battles… and the fact that you can identify so strongly with them by that point adds so many emotional layers to the battles. It’s very clever.
@Keith_Zissou cheers buddy, 37... so far 😉😉... which blows me away a bit as I set myself the target of getting 18 at the start of the year (which would've got my overall to 50).
@Keith_Zissou just a bit mate 😅. I started planning a schedule January 2021, though I'm constantly tweaking it when certain games take my fancy.
Initially it was all AAA action adventure/open-world games... but posting here has opened my eyes to other things so I've tried to fit them in here and there too. So now I'm trying to get some AA's, metroidvania's, rogue-likes/lites and just plain indies in too.

Just done a quick tally and I'm on 30 platinum trophies earned so far this year (hopefully get a couple more before the bongs). That's out of 60 games played (at least started that have registered in the trophy list) so exact 50% hit rate though there are a couple of those that I got 100% completion but they didn't have plats.
Just in case no-one was wondering...
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@colonelkilgore That’s great news. Like @Jimmer-jammer I’ll definitely keep it safely stored away …somewhere where it won’t be forgotten (the cupboard, maybe?).
You’ve definitely motivated me to push through the slight sloggish feeling it has in the middle parts. To hear that the characters do become more endearing is comforting because I wasn’t really invested in most of their plights at the time.
So does the good outcome motivate you to further expand into more ‘visual novel’ types? I think if memory serves you had considered some other Vanillaware games like Dragon’s Crown, Odin’s Sphere, and Muramasa, so maybe this will compel you to try more of their output?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
You guys are killing it. I also got a few new plats this year but nowhere near that
I guess I could've done like 5 more in the time I spent playing Guilty Gear online though
@Keith_Zissou Agreed. I enjoy seeing everyone’s accomplishments.
So…. Since we’re reporting — I’ve played 21 games this year and 7 platinums. So pretty much a 33% plat rate this year, which I’m fine with. Sure, I wish it was higher, but a few of those I didn’t platinum were played to the gills and only had a few trophies left but I jumped ship before it became too much to ruin my enjoyment (I’m looking at you, Returnal…)
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution yeah I'm definitely interested in playing more Vanillaware games... particularly Dragons Crown Pro (so if anyone fancies some co-op on it I'll be playing it sometime next year).
Visual novel-wise... yeah I'm definitely not less interested anyway. I bought the Danganronpa trilogy a while back and am eyeing up Doki Doki Literature Club (it's in the January sale actually). So yeah, might fit one in in 2022 if I can... any suggestions on other classics or the genre?
@colonelkilgore I'm a huge fan of the Steins;Gate visual novel games, so I highly recommend those. They have pretty easy Platinums as well as long as you use a guide.
@colonelkilgore
Didn't plan on anything to be honest. I rarely look further forward than a week or two though I usually have a vague idea of what games I want to get on to in the near future. Then I start a bunch of stuff and see which ones stick...
We're not all hyper-organised advanced level gamers like you! (The fact you have games to play planned years in advance impresses, amuses and horrifies me!).
Anyway as a year end retrospective it might be worth forum members giving mention to easiest, hardest and most memorable platinum (or any trophies?) achieved this year if anybody can be bothered. I'd be interested to read others thoughts on these. Will do so myself, but maybe in a week or so coz I ain't finished yet.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
It’s great to see some of these stats and it amazes me how some people seem to blitz through games. Looking at psnprofile it seem I’ve played 43 games this year but only got 13 platinums. I don’t actually remember playing that many but some of them were just trying out some things off of PS Now where I just for a few trophies before deciding it wasn’t really for me. Others though I could have easily got the platinum but just didn’t bother sticking around to tidy up things like collectibles.
@Sorteddan yeah I get that 🤣... and yeah I'll have a think and put a few lists together. What do you think to us all doing top 3 most difficult plats, top 3 easiest plats, top 3 most difficult trophies... and maybe top 3 most enjoyable trophy lists?
