Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@RogerRoger I sometimes forget what I was playing yesterday so it's likely I will also forget anything I've put down as a milestone. Still it's nice to do as a mini celebration of the fact that you've reached that many. I'm looking forward to getting a few more done so that I can set that 50th up but these next ones are probably going to be slow ones anyway.

When I had more time to game with the kids we'd do a few easy going ones but they just want to play Harry Potter Lego these days so I've let them get on with that. They are way more into that world than I am so I'm probably best left out of it 😆

@RogerRoger Luckily a friend returned my PS4 that he'd borrowed so I've now bought that back into service. The kids have been playing Harry Potter on that so I can get on the PS5 and then when my wife wants to play Returnal I've been playing a PS4 game instead. That Lego platinum is a long way off still though 😀

So I decided to finally clean up TLoU Remastered and started off doing an Easy run first to grab all collectibles and stuff. I made good headway today, but I missed one conversation, the hotel one with the dead bodies in the bathtub.

Question for the veterans, will I be able to clean that up later with chapter select? Or at least NG+?

@WCB iirc yeah you can get in on ng+… not 100% though

Edit. Just done a quick Google and it sounds like you’re golden 👊

@colonelkilgore cool. Hopefully that's the only thing I miss. I'll probably try chapter select first otherwise I'll just grab it in a ng+.

And finished the game with everything collected, just had to chapter select for the one convo I missed.

Another question for tLoU vets, if I go straight into the new game plus on Survivor, will I have enough to upgrade all the weapons? I know I'll fully upgrade Joel, only need 100 more pills for the last slot, but I'm hoping there's enough parts lying around for the weapons.

@ThereThere from what I've read, yeah.

Start up a ng+ on the difficulty you beat it on, play up to "20 years later" then quit out. Go to chapter select, choose Hometown - Prologue, and pick Survivor difficulty or even Grounded for the DLC trophies.

That's how I read it works anyway.

@ThereThere cheers.

I had to edit my last reply as I made a mistake.

@WCB yeah, I only played it through the twice… and I managed to fully upgrade everything during ng+ 👍

@colonelkilgore thanks, that's just the reassurance I'm looking for. 👍

@RogerRoger congrats mate on the pair of plats.
I bought that Adam's Venture game in a sale some time back as an easy plat but I have heard some less than stellar things about it.

Congrats @RogerRoger - sounds like #68 was something special. Funnily enough I picked both of these up in a recent sale… and while you’ve done nothing to whet my appetite for your #67th, Submerged: Hidden Depths is now a major blip on my game-dar 😉.

@WCB no problem dude, good luck on your survivor playthrough… it’s pretty tough but definitely doable 👊.

@colonelkilgore thanks man, I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm prepared to distract and stealth my way past most encounters this time as I went in guns blazing due to it being easy but even then that wasn't the brightest way to tackle a lot of it.

Well, it took 85 hours across 6 months but I finally got the plat for Death Stranding. What an incredible journey. I loved every minute and the story was incredibly moving. If I had any tips, besides building roads and zip wires, it would be to make use of the droid deliveries. As you make your way west, use them to deliver stuff back east so they can build up your star rankings even if they do a poor job. Then, by the time you're ready to do post-story stuff, all the missions they did will be back up to do anywhere. Would've saved me 5 hours easy if I'd started to do that earlier.

Now to find some much shorter games to play. HZW is a long way off being played now.

@ScarletSpidey Congrats! That seems pretty speedy for getting the platinum for that game

@Thrillho Thanks! I think I had the benefit of coming to it late, but I definitely could've shaved some time off. If anyone decides to go it, let me know and I can give some more tips.

@RogerRoger Congrats on those couple of plats. Did you get them both to the point of completion so you could get a double platinum chime within a minute? That would be sweet 😀

@ScarletSpidey Congrats to you as well. It may only be one but it’s a biggie. I love that game and it was a really satisfying platinum to get. Keep on keeping on 👍

Well done @ScarletSpidey and really glad you enjoyed it. Some people (personal friends and acquaintances… not calling anyone here out 😉) just have some real solid blinkers/blinders on about this game and just seem to close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and sway their heads while repeating “lalalalalalalala” when I’ve tried to explain the virtues of giving the game a go. For such a great game, the premise and set up had a very strange impact on the general gaming populace.

@ScarletSpidey congrats, that's a very nice one to earn. 👍 One I have looking forward to do, maybe next year.

Platinum #86 Outriders

@Splat nice, how was it? I’ve had mixed experiences with co-op 3rd Paterson shooter personally… absolutely loved Remnant from the Ashes but really struggled to get much enjoyment from The Division 2.
