@Gremio108 Really well done and I absolutely agree. Something bittersweet about capping off the trilogy. I think for me it was because it was a nostalgia trip and they were such good games.

Still got Edith Finch on my to do list but I've heard nothing but good things. I did find Rapture hard work in some respects though as far as walking sims go. The best I've played imo was Gone Home. Not too long and the voice acting is really immersive. Had a lump in my throat on some parts.

@The_Moose I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it mate. I think that they just ain’t my kinda thing… maybe i was just in a rare frame of mind when I played Rapture and it clicked for me or something. I’ll take a look at Gone Home just in case I renter that rare state… where I fancy some orienteering 😉
@colonelkilgore Whoah, there Cowboy! What Remains of Edith Finch is a fantastic cultural and dramatic achievement! Man, the story, the twists, the varied gameplay takes on the Walking Sim genre… Ah well, we can’t all like the same things. 😜
But seriously, the game was probably never going to completely fit for you because even though I do think the gameplay is about as good as a walking sim can be, it’s still not gameplay like God of War. At least the game’s runtime is not very long.
But blimey, the cannery is one of my favorite gaming moments of all time. 😄
And I did like Everybody’s Gone.. but it was a little dull in the middle.
Congrats @Bentleyma, always a satisfying feeling to square off a plat after a few years of it being incomplete on the trophy list 👍.
@Th3solution yeah I think it’s definitely more of a me-problem than the game itself being bad… and I can see why it would appeal to some people I guess. It just didn’t tug on my heart strings at all for some reason… maybe I’ve Scrooged-out a little early this year 😅
@Gremio108 I really enjoyed revisiting the Spyro trilogy too. The no-hit kill on that frog boss in Spyro 2 was bloody difficult though!
The series was well done in that it mixed loads of new stuff in with each game without feeling like is was forced in, whereas a lot of the new/superfluous stuff in Crash 2 and 3 didn’t work so well for me.
@colonelkilgore I preferred Edith Finch to Rapture too. The latter was just a bit empty (I know that’s part of the game) but it felt like a real trudge getting around and the save system was appalling so you could easily lose loads of gameplay. Finch was a really tight narrative and such excellent storytelling.
Not the most difficult platinum in the world (and a rather generous one with five golds, compared to the single one in @RogerRoger ‘s recent exploits) but they all count!
@Thrillho yeah we all have our individual tastes etc… and moods at the time of playing too, which I think can have an impact. Anyway, congrats on the Sonic Origins plat.
@Thrillho@Bentleyma@Gremio108
great to see all the pre-festive platinum popping going on with my Pushsquare peeps... Though I am starting to feel a little left behind, gonna have to step it up I guess.
and a partial well done to @colonelkilgore - but for not being entirely positive about Edith Finch I think you should have to send that one back. How dare you from your own opinion which differs from the majority - you bloody hetetic!

@colonelkilgore Oh, it’s all good, bud. 👊🏼
I agree in the sense that WRoEF didn’t really pull at my heart strings in the manner of feeling sadness or empathy for the tragic family, necessarily . It’s almost more comedic in a dark sort of way with the family’s bad luck, and I’m not sure it’s supposed to be sad, per se, although definitely some of the deaths are disturbing like the little girl who eats the poison and the unattended baby who drowns in the tub. I liked how they handled the reveal at the end about Edith too.

@The_Moose Cheers. The thing with nostalgia trips is that they are usually not quite as magical the second time around, but I seemed to enjoy Spyro more with this remastered trilogy. Perhaps I didn't give it enough time to click back in the day. I did only rent it from my local video shop after all!
@Thrillho I remeber having particular trouble with an ox in Spyro 2, as well as that frog. Those two dragons in the third game were tricky as well. I'm definitely with you on preferring the Spyro trilogy to the Crash trilogy as well. Quite a controversial opinion, and one that would have got us lynched in the late 90s/early 2000s. Or at least mocked in the playground. Well done on Origins by the way. I'll be going for that in the new year.
@sorteddan I can never keep up with this thread! I'm hoping to get the platinum for Spirit of the North over the next week, should be a nice easy, quick one.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
Big news. So I got my first ever! platinum trophy this Sunday. For me as a PlayStation player this represent something special of course The game which I platinumed was actually Marvels Spider-Man game. Eh I think its kind of funny in the sense that I really liked Spider-Man as a kid. I think for example that the first ever superhero movie I watched as a child was the 2002 Spider-man movie (which was something I was much looking forward to back in the days and was a dream to do to). Although I know a lot of you guys frequently platinum games I have found it tremendously hard to do actually . Iam anyway very glad that it was the Spider-Man game I platinumed Makes very excited to soon play the Miles Morales game (not speaking about the sequel).
@RogerRoger Although I know its a bit off topic but I must state I really liked what I have played of Sonic Frontiers so far. It really feels like a Sonic simulator in the sense that you really feel like Sonic when playing the game. Its really amazing how nice the game play and what the developers archived with it . I think its a game that truly lives up to the promise (can´t understand the negative in the reviews of the game). Again its the feeling that dreams can come true. Its so just nice being Sonic and running around in the world.
Congrats on # 44 @MightyDemon82, you planning on going for something in particular for #50?
And a MASSIVE congrats to @oliverp on what I’m sure will be the first of many. And it’s good that it was on something that means something to you too. Welcome to the club buddy!
@oliverp Congratulations on your first. Slippery slope you're on now. If you're like many of us here, you need to see a platinum next to every game on your trophy list.
