@xeofate yeah trophy hunting is a bit of a strange gaming-appendage. To some (like me) it is so complementary to the larger medium that it has amplified the enjoyment I get from gaming quite a bit (more than it actually should in all probability 😅). But for others, it’s a silly add-on with no real meaning or merit. It’s really a matter of horses-for-courses I think.
Anyway, well done on achieving the Age of Stars ending on Elden Ring, it was the most involved ending to get iirc 👍
@xeofate a perfectly understanding modus operandi. It comes down to personal enjoyment above all else when it comes to hobbies and pastimes such as video games.
@colonelkilgore Congrats on that Sekiro platinum. I'm amazed that you managed to fly through that as quickly as you did. I need to get back to it as I did the first few bosses and then got subverted onto something else. I do enjoy the game but parrying is not my thing so makes it a lot harder but you are right what you say about it being the way to play the game.
@RogerRoger I read about your struggles on Sifu bud… and I was really struggling with one of Sekiro’s bosses at the time. When I finally beat him though the satisfaction was immense. Hopefully you’ll feel the same if you stick with it 👍
@render it was pretty much mainlining it on ng+ tbh buddy, as I’d done all the donkey-work back when I played through it the first time. It still took around 20-25 hours mind, as I got seriously held up by a few bosses. Definitely push yourself to parry though, I had to force myself… and while it still doesn’t feel totally natural to me, I certainly had some moments where it truly clicked and it felt glorious.
@xeofate well, I’ll be real interested to hear how you get on when you do mate. And definitely make use of the Sekiro OT thread on here as a resource… i along with many on here will be happy to help.
@colonelkilgore Thanks! I'll never be a trophy hunting machine like you are, but obtaining a platinum trophy is always a very nice way to cap off an otherwise satisfying gaming experience.
Particular congrats on Sekiro. Platting anything by FromSoft is a definite achievement.
@colonelkilgore
Yeah it definitely had something didn't it, not sure if it would have held up if it was a longer game but I liked it at the time.
Congrats btw.

@sorteddan@render ahh this one was only a quickie to be fair… still fun though. Gonna concentrate on clearing a few PS3 games from the backlog now. If I slot a few more quickies in amongst them, I might just ease my OCD and end the year on a round number 😅
@RogerRoger cheers buddy… and yeah I reckon #120 might just be on if I subsidise each game I play with an easy-breezy plat like Foreclosed.
I haven’t actually played Sifu yet tbh… I have it on the shelf but haven’t gotten around to it. Well aware that it’ll be a challenge though. Out of interest, what is it you’re working on now?
@RogerRoger oooh… ouch! A 9/10 eh… well I’m sure you won’t need it (being the Sonic fan that you are) but good luck buddy. What thread are you gonna be posting your exploits in, I’ll be interested to read-all-about-it as it were?
@RogerRoger dude, you’re gonna stop me from chasing plats out of embarrassment at this rate 😳. I’ll just start leaving all my games one bronze short on purpose 😅
Platinum #43 is God Of War Ragnarok
58 hours on Give Me No Mercy difficulty, several of which were just repeated attempts at the optional post-game fight (there's a trophy for that).
Of course - just like with the king of berserkers, I ended up not even using the resurrection stone in the successful attempt
@Voltan Nice work on that Ragnarok platinum. I'm looking forward to getting on to those Berserker encounters once I've polished off the main game. Think I will need to do some upgrades before then though as they seem like quite the challenge
