Nice one @Jimmer-jammer, sounds like you maybe found it a bit of a chore but congrats on seeing it through. As @ThereThere said, I think it’d probably match my gaming-psyche too… I have a strange penchant for ticking checkboxes 😅
@Jimmer-jammer gz on the new shiny. I can understand for some people the plat was a bit to grindy. But just like @ThereThere and colonelkilgore I love to collect things and follow the checklist in games. All 4 plats I have are open world checklist games lol. But yeah for me the world was so relaxing that I loved to wander around in it. And as you said it isn't as overly long as some of those big open world games, so it's doable for most people.
@sorteddan it looks like some sort of new virus that is spreading around quickly, the plat virus But yeah for me seeing so many people getting so many platinum so fast also makes me want to get those shinies. And I think for most people it is something like that.
@Lavalera
Yeah I'm more than happy to see the increase in activity on here.
...wondering if I can get a few days off work with plat virus (trophy fever?)...maybe I'll tell the boss that muscles have atrophied.
Speaking of ... How you feeling @colonelkilgore ? Did you make a full recovery?

@sorteddan thought I was feeling better but I went back to work and it was hell… just had no energy and concentration. Glad it’s the weekend I can tell you!
… I’m really starting to see the allure of platinum hunting. 😄
It (plat hunting) is a strange adjunct to a hobby to fully understand/appreciate until ‘it’ starts to sink its hooks in. I never saw the allure in trophy hunting for years but little by little… and platinum by platinum, I noticeably began to engage and enjoy gaming on another level. It’s not for everyone… but is a great little meta for some.
@Jimmer-jammer glad you’re finding some extra reward in it buddy. And I’ll be sure to put your advice in regards to the Ghostwire… plat to good use when I eventually make a start on it 👊
@Jimmer-jammer I totally get what you mean. Those 3 trophies were also the last 3 I had to do. I didn't even mind that it took me extra time compared to if I did a run with a guide.
The fantastic mythological world with the main theme of "finishing things before letting go" made the whole time of the platinum worth it. As you said if one treats the game as a pure action game one misses so much stuff. I think that was also the main reason it got mixed reviews at release. Everyone I see now who is playing it and really taking their time with the game sees all the details and general theme which comes back in so many things.
For me it was also one of the games which started my trophy hunting. Even though I'm not going super fast I am looking at games if the platinum is obtainable before starting a new game or if it is to difficult for me. I might even go back to some games which I started when I first got my ps5 like ratchet and clank 2016 and horizon zero dawn which I didn't platinum yet but both should he obtainable for me I think.
@WadeIsInsane Congrats on the plat ! My Tekken 6 platinum goes way back (10-12 years I think) but reading about the Nightmare Train brings back memories.
#331 F1 2021 - The usual, not the longest nor the hardest of the series, it sits between F1 2019 and F1 2020 in terms of time/difficulty. A word on the useless "50 hours of track time" trophy, not really aligned with the rest of the list. I had to leave the game on for a couple nights to get it. Useless.
@Cornaboyzzz
Again Congratulations on your latest and mighty impressive number reached!
Also join you in the hate for such trophies, especially when you can get everything else done in half the time - just a waste of electricity. I know they're designed to keep people playing but as we know the workarounds just make them seem pointless and annoying.
