Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@colonelkilgore and another congrats, I have that one to do sometime as well but I should go back and clean up Bastion first.

Cheers @WCB, the Bastion plat actually gets surprisingly challenging… nowhere near impossible but a definite hand-eye co-ordination work out of some intensity. The Transistor plat was a fair bit simpler tbh.

@RogerRoger Excellent work, and it sounds like it’s been a generally enjoyable experience. My son, who is only 5, wants this so this will definitely be getting played at some point 😀

Congrats @RogerRoger, I’ve heard that it’s a pretty lengthy one so it seems like you made pretty good time in fairness. I’ve never played a Lego game but this one has piqued my interest.

@RogerRoger
Nice one Rog. Trophy Hunter you have become (sorry, I tried!)

@RogerRoger congrats on that Lego plat! 77 hours is a lot for a lego game from my understanding, but I hear they crammed in a lot of content into it. I wonder if it'll get more trophies with the DLC they have planned.

@colonelkilgore yeah I think that's why I just stopped the first time lol.

Platinum #118
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (PS5)
As enjoyable and attainable as I expected it would be. Explored relatively well during first play through so remaining trophies picked up in less than an hour afterwards - around 15 hours total.

@sorteddan Congrats, that is quick. Hope you got it for a reasonable price as otherwise that’s quite expensive per hour 😀

@Fragile @sorteddan nice one guys. Got both of these in my backlog. I think that I’ll love Tales of Arise when I eventually get around to it… and that I’ll probably have a good time with the Ratchet and Clank games too, though they don’t necessarily appeal to me.

Platinum #22 is Arkham Knight. Brilliant game, a couple annoying trophies but didn’t mar a great experience. That’s my fifth of the year as well!

@Fragile nice one! A game I'd like to get to one day.

@sorteddan congrats, a really good short experience. I enjoyed blasting through the pretty visuals, it certainly is a looker.

@nessisonett very nice! I've popped 2 trophies years ago so this is one I've been eyeing off for some time. All the DLC trophies always makes me go "not just yet" lol.

Congrats @nessisonett, loved Asylum but wasn’t that into City (but I may have been a bit burned out on it as I played it straight after the original). Seeing all the praise you’ve been heaping on Knight has definitely made me consider giving this one a go.

… and another congrats for another plat for @Fragile.

@nessisonett Nice work. I’ve got the game but have always put it aside for something else. It sounds like it’s worth taking a look.

@Fragile Nice, you can never have too many cats.

Thanks peeps!
@render - got it with the console bundle so cost wasn't an issue. Your comment has got my maths brain thinking about cost per hour of various platinum achievements - I am trying not to work any out!
@WCB - yeah I was pretty blown away by how it looked as well, especially early on. Was a bit like playing a pixar film or something.

@nessisonett @Fragile good work guys. I've previously played and platted both those games. Enjoyed both though it's fair to say they are quite different experiences.

#119 Tinker Racers (PS4)
Fun, cheap kind of micro-machines rip-off top down indie racing game. Got stuck and frustrated on some of the time attack laps but finished the last of them just now. Last trophy required a 4 player race so I had to install on PS5 and use the two controllers from each machine to achieve it!
Another backlogger blasted.

@nessisonett Congrats on the Arkham trophy. I keep meaning to return to that series, having completed them all on the XBox, but it'll be a while before I get there. Too many others games to play.

And congrats @sorteddan, @RogerRoger and @Fragile!

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge - No Plat but I managed to 100% it, including the speedrun which I was sure I wouldn't get. Just as good as I remember and I'm now all ready for the new sequel.

A Wolf Among Us - Really enjoyed this having first completed it on XBox when it originally came out. It's a strong story with a fantastic world.

Meanwhile, work for Death Stranding's Plat slowly continues. I've also started No Man's Sky as my 'take-a-break-from-my-main-game-game' but quickly realised there are ALOT of mechanics to learn. We'll see if I can keep them both going side-by-side or if I drop NMS for something else.

@sorteddan @ScarletSpidey congrats on the latest trophies guys.

@sorteddan Nice work on that latest platinum.

@ScarletSpidey Great work getting the plat and especially the 100% on Monkey Island. That must have been a proper brain workout.

Platinum #86 - God of War: Ascension - really surprised by this as I was expecting to just be going through the motions but ended up really enjoying it. Required a hard playthrough but was quite manageable for the most part, although the trials of archimedes was a nasty spike in difficulty (that I’ve since found out is quite notorious).
