@colonelkilgore Appreciate it! I’m actually debating that. I will be playing Yakuza 4’s main story though before I decide if I want to platinum it first or something else. I’d prefer to work on it little by little like I’m doing with FFX’s sphere grids (biggest grind of my life). Though Yakuza gets addicting once you get on a roll. So we will see!!
You always ask about me. I’m rude not to ask about your trophy adventures! My bad there! Anything you’re up to?! It doesn’t have to be a platinum journey. Anyone can answer that btw. It’s always fun to hear what everyone else is playing!
I've got ME2 to play at some point this year so really need to make time for that. The first one was a really positive experience and it sounds like #2 carries on the same quality.
@CWill97 nah, if anything I’m probably the rude one for being so nosey bud 😅.
As for me, I’m pretty notorious for my long-term planning in terms of whittling down my backlog (or my attempts to anyway), so I always have one thing or another on the go. I’m currently scheduled up until the end of 2025 🤣!
About halfway through The Surge 2 at the mo (and absolutely loving it… a very solid souls-like in every respect that matters) and will be moving onto Diablo 3 later this month.
The platinums really aren’t that hard. If you mix up your party enough then you’ll get most of them in ME1.
I guess one piece of advice would be with regards to “paragon” and “renegade”, i.e. being an all-out good or bad guy. Most of the time in dialogue options, things on the left of the wheel give you more info about the topic you’re on while the ones on the right move the conversation on. On the right, you’ll normally have three options, the top being paragon, middle neutral, bottom renegade.
You build up paragon and renegade points through the game. Having a high(er) level of one can unlock dialogue to get you out of situations, sometimes quite important ones, so the game can punish you somewhat for not going all in on being a goodie or baddy.
That’s the main reason I ended up playing ME2 so many times. Feel free to play it how you like and most of the time being full on renegade will get you out of trouble just as much as being an absolute angel the whole time.
And you can still be a bit of a d*ck at times to people and get away with it
Great news everyone. I got the Hardcore Risette Fan trophy on Persona 4 Golden on PS4. This is my fourth time attempting to get the Persona 4 Golden platinum but I've always messed it up because of Hardcore Risette Fan. Now I have it and the rest of the trophy list is just admin so it's pretty much just waiting for me to finish it.
What an achievement. This is basically like that story about the man and the whale, except I uppercutted the whale into the next world and the entire town threw a feast for me in celebration instead of however that whale book ends.
Good show @johncalmc I didn't have too much trouble with p4 golden on vita but it does seem to be a problem with quite a few people judging by the trophy guide sites. God bless the RNG gods.
@bentleyma Well done on your plat, Cyndi Lauper would approve.
Three Platinum trophies in one month has to be a personal record lol. I'm honestly not even actively looking for games to platinum, these are just coming naturally to me.
Anyway, I really enjoyed getting the Platinum in Spyro 2. It only took me around 9 hours to do everything and while most of the trophies are about doing side objectives in the levels, they were still fun to do. I did have to use a guide from time to time, but other than that the trophies are straightforward.
Congrats @LtSarge I enjoyed Spyro, didn't play them back in the day despite having a ps1. I enjoyed the mini flying games, I would imagine those were a nightmare on ps1.
Recent plats for me...
Journey to a savage planet on ps++. I enjoyed this and an easy platinum but does have a few coop trophies.
Demon's Souls remake. Not quite there yet as I need another playthrough but I have all bar one trophy. Excellent remake and despite completing this twice before on PS3 the game still kicks my butt.
Platinum failures...
Moss psvr1. Had to complete it without dying which I did but trophy didn't pop and there isn't a stat indicator to show when you have failed so stuff that platinum. Fab game though, nightmare platinum.
Horizon FW. Managed to get all trophies bar the melee pits which was typical Guerilla guff so gave up, felt like i was playing mortal combat with the button sequences. Will return in a couple of years for Dlc and ng+ (I normally like to have a long break before ng+)
Congrats and commiserations @CaptD! Must be infuriated about the Moss one having done what you needed… and I totally get you on those ‘em]Horizon Forbidden West[/em] melee pits, they were a nightmare! Well done on Journey to the Savage Planet and Demon’s Souls though… and that run through for the final Demon’s Souls trophy can be done super quickly. I’m sure it took under an hour 👍
#59 Hogwarts Legacy - Pretty much knew this was going to be a good one but actually exceeded my expectations. One of the strongest parts of the game is the exploration which it easily delivers, there's no end of interesting places to discover inside and outside the castle. There's also a really cool combat system that looks like it scales nicely through the difficultly levels. It's more than enough to keep you entertained throughout and I can easily recommend this to anyone who loves a good open world game.
I'm also considering myself quite lucky that the trophy relating to the collectibles popped as some of the in game counts for those items are slightly out. Thank Sony for trophy tracking though as at least I could see from there how many I'd got left to go.
@render
Oh nice one. Well done on that one.
As someone who has never had any interest in the Potter-verse I can't imagine I'd ever feel like playing it. Good to hear it found its mark with you though.

@colonelkilgore@sorteddan@CaptD Cheers all. I can say that even if you aren't into the source material it's still a damn good game. If you've read the books or seen the films though it makes it that bit better as you'll get the references and notice easter eggs while you are out exploring. It got me thinking that I was always into the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels as a kid and I remember playing the point and click adventure on PC back in the day, but I would love to see some more games based around that world. Probably showing my age there 😅
Just noticed that at some point today I got the 10,000th trophy on my profile so hurray for me. Investigating I think it was Capitalist trophy (bronze) on Sackboy PS5.
Well if I had a penny for every trophy I've earned I would have... £100
...
and I do have £100 so whatever.

I haven't been here in a while, real life getting in the way, but I just got the plat for God of War Ragnarok. Really enjoyed it but I don't think I'll double back for the 2018 GoT plat. Those post-credit bosses are just too hard.
