Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@sorteddan Congrats 👍. Not played the game but heard good things and sounds like you enjoyed it a lot. I think I might even have this from it being a PS+ game so will have to try it.

Well done to @colonelkilgore @avatarian @sorteddan for the updated trinkets.

I got the Maneater platinum too as it was one of the first PS5 games I had (via PS+ freebie). It was pretty repetitive and I finished the game still having no idea how to actually attract increasing levels of “heat” (or whatever its called) and I felt that attacking ships was mostly button bashing and hoping for the best.

Congrats @colonelkilgore, @avatarian, @sorteddan for the plats.

Just got my 18th plat on MLB the Show 22, was way easier then I thought it would be. Knocked it out of the park, just shy of 10 hours, also breaking my own record in fastest Platinum.

@Thrillho @RogerRoger @SirWoolsley cheers guys 🍻

@SirWoolsley and congrats to you too… wow that’s far quicker than I would’ve thought for than kinda game!

@colonelkilgore It was my first MLB game I played but from what I heard they make it easier every year, to get the platinum. TBH I wished it had some trophies in their career mode, still enjoyed my time with it.

@SirWoolsley hmmm… never played one myself but have heard good things. Might have to check it out as I’m on a bit of a mission to pop multiple plats relatively quickly in the build up to God of War: Ragnarok.

@SirWoolsley I’ve only played the PS+ freebie MLB game and exclusively played Road to the Show which I enjoyed but got nowhere near the plat.

I seem to remember an article on this site saying it was pretty easy to get compared to older games but they all count!

@RogerRoger Thanks, I take more pride in that pun, than in the platinum.

@colonelkilgore @Thrillho The trophy is very easy to get, only one online trophy (just play one co-op game), no grinding. Even made easier by very customisable sliders, so you can set how good the AI is in catching, hitting the ball, how fast their players are and etc. and same for yourself, you can set how much leeway you're given for all those aspects. Very beginner friendly, knowing I never touched an MLB game before.

@SirWoolsley I was really impressed with the array of difficulty settings and control schemes, along with the panoply of game modes available.

But my experience of the game was playing on low difficulty like..

@Thrillho Can't disagree with that, especially if you keep getting home runs 5 times in a row.

But that's the beauty of the game, it allows you to play as and as hard as you want. I appreciate a game that allows an easy entry, for everyone, and to set more difficult games if you get the hang off it. Plus the multiplayer if you want to challenge yourself against other people.

And it made me getting the plat easy breezy, which is a definite plus for me

Just checking in to see how all you fine folks are travelling.

@RogerRoger congrats on cleaning up that backlog, feels good when you go back after years and finish a game off.
@Thrillho Congrats on the Elden Ring plat!
@colonelkilgore congrats with golfing and getting that plat!
@avatarian Okami is a lovely looking game still to this day, congrats!
@sorteddan I'm looking forward to playing Jaws myself, congrats!
@SirWoolsley congrats for hitting that home run to bring home the platinum!

Wew lad, I hope I got everyone. That's a lot of congrats to dish out.

@WCB congrats on not missing anyone out 😉

@SirWoolsley Nice one 👍. I know nothing about MLB or even anything about baseball but that sounds insanely fast for a sports game platinum.

@RogerRoger I haven't been playing much playstation lately, it's all been Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on xbox (almost finished, loving the linear single player gameplay) and occasionally WarioWare: Get it Together on Switch (I didn't think it was for me after the demo, but I got it physically on the cheap and now kinda hooked) when I have time.

I've been concentrating more on getting back into serious weight training again with a calorie deficit, put on 15kg over the last two years or so, not good. Also reading more, I've neglected that for vidya over the same time frame. So I'm gaming a bit less.

Managed to finish off the PGA Tour 2K21 Plat a few days back. Also played a couple of quick ones with Unpacking and Hitman Go (blame you @colonelkilgore for that one 😉) to add to my tally. Then a little while ago I knocked out my 5th online race win to get the Hot Wheels Unleashed Platinum. That was one of those ones I wasn't sure I was going to get but despite a few tricky bits the trophies slowly popped.

@BearsEatBeets
And that is an impressively productive few days trophy hunting. Hurrah to you sir.

@BearsEatBeets congrats on your recent haul 🍻… and my most humblest of apologies about Hitman Go 😉

@BearsEatBeets Congrats on the plats.

@sorteddan @SirWoolsley @colonelkilgore Cheers. Got them all in about a week and half but 2 are quite quick games and the others have been played on and off for a long time.
My equal apologies in advance @colonelkilgore if your enticed to get the very similar Lara Croft Go. 😁

@BearsEatBeets wow now that is impressive!

good job,if only i had such dedication!
