I managed to knock out the Mafia DE platinum after all just now. Classic difficulty was tricky in the places I thought it was going to be but managed to persevere through my many deaths to get it done. Having been playing through my PS4 backlog for several weeks I look forward to get back to my fast loading PS5. Occasionally my playtime between deaths felt shorter than the wait for the checkpoint to reload.
Well done @BearsEatBeets
I hope you didn't say "why did I let that muppet from PushSq persuade me to platinum this" too many times during your playthrough. 😂
In other news. I've just started Outriders if anyone fancies playing it. A friend suggested we play it and then ditched it so I have one trophy earned and I can't be having that on my profile, not again. 🙄
Congrats @BearsEatBeets, been following your endeavours on this lately and good job on sealing the deal.
Hey @CaptD, I’ll be more than happy to get involved on Outriders but I have a load on the go right now… any chance you wouldn’t mind putting it on hold until April?
Ping.. The Artful Escape. Someone on PushSq mentioned this game sorry I can't remember who it was, so I took a look and gave it a go (Annapurna published games tend to be interesting). An interesting, relaxing game and definitely needed whilst I'm in the middle of playing Judgment.
Easy platinum with only a few missables, all but one available through chapter select. Difficulty 2/10 plus it is in PS++
@colonelkilgore I might push on playing solo in Outriders, it is quite a large install at nearly 60gb and I'm low on ssd space so I want to whip through it and move on. Thanks for the offer though.
And you're good @CaptD, I'm more appreciative for the impetus to fully complete/platinum another game. It managed to stay on the fun enough side of going for, even with it's frustrations. Well done on your latest addition to the tally also, it's good to fit in a quick relaxing game in amongst the lengthier games.
I'm currently eyeing up what of my remaining backlog I care enough about to go back and finish/mop up more trophies. Resogun, Dirt Rally 2.0, Oddworld New 'n' Tasty and Rebel Cops are the ones I'm leaning towards at the moment. I also recently restarted Just Cause 3 but I'm undecided if I want to keep going with that one, not really loving the whole grapple hook mechanic.
@BearsEatBeets
I vaguely remember one trophy on Dirt 2.0 nearly blocking my platinum on that, think you have to get in the top 25% on a daily online time trial or something along those lines. Problematic for me as I was particularly bad at the game! Might be worth checking a guide if you're planning to go for it.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan To be honest I've not considered any of them likely to be a platinum just a higher completion of trophies. With that being said I've already decided to not bother with Oddworld and leaning that way with Rebel Cops after having a quick go of each. I quite enjoyed my quick go of Dirt Rally so I will probably just play through it and see what's left at the end.
@colonelkilgore Maybe if I get a better hang of it I'll enjoy it a bit more, I haven't quite given up on it just yet. But if I do, it's totally the games fault and not that I'm naff at it.
@BearsEatBeets
Ahh got you. I sometimes flick back over the trophy list and see games with unreasonably low percentages and feel a pang of regret or guilt and intend to go back and improve on them. Sometimes I even do - that's how I ended up playing Slay the Spire again last month (improved from 1% to around 30%). tbh I think it's usually games I download from PS+ start up, don't fancy at the time and then forget about. I wish there was an option to delete games from my trophy list to deal with it.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@BearsEatBeats Nice selection of super rare platinums there, I too was looking at Odd world as I recently watched a PS Access platinum stream where the person obtained it (and he is the person among the team that doesn't trophy hunt). I have it downloaded on my ps5 but I probably won't bother, that game is too stressful for me.
As for Just cause 3 , I agree with the Colonel
And with regards to Dirt rally 2, sorteddan is right as the nasty trophy is called 'fire it up again' or something like that where you have to drive a pig (an Audi Quattro) and get it in the top tier which will contain other cars which aren't pigs. The one saving grace here though is special events which show up every so often, delta events I think where there is just two tiers, so just top 50%.
I remember when I did it, driving the pig crazy fast along this stage in New Zealand and having barely a foot either side, the side of the road having this stupid pavement or fence which caused the pig to fly (yes they can). Nightmare.
Nice rare platinum though and even rarer as it was a ps+ game.
Dirt rally 1 was also great fun, one of my proudest plats and in VR as well. Strangely enough they announced that they were shutting the servers down, this was in October I think and they are still up so fingers crossed for psvr2 upgrade (it won't happen).
@sorteddan Slay the spire is on my list but I'm not sure it is my bag, however I am currently playing Table of Tales on psvr, that is a card battler so perhaps the genre will grow on me.
@sorteddan@CaptD That Audi trophy did for me as well. Tried for weeks during the first lockdown and eventually gave up. Might go back to it at some point, especially after that little tip from Capt
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
Platinum #127 - Man of Medan - actually quite enjoyed this… although the trophy list is horrible (something I’ve heard was remedied in the subsequent Dark Pictures Anthology games after much criticism). Maybe my favourite of the Cinematic-linear adventure games (Telltale-likes if you will) that I’ve played tbh.
