Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

Ping...Ratchet and Clank rift apart. What an amazing game, most enjoyable romp through the galaxy and through the dimensions.
A bit of a missed opportunity in not adding a NG+ DLC trophy imo, they do them for 50+ hour games like Days Gone, Ghost of T and Horizon but not for a 10 hour adventure.
Easy platinum without any missables....and it's free (not free) on PS+ Extra.

@CaptD congrats mate and glad that you enjoyed it so much. As crazy as it sounds I’m still to actually play an R&C game… you’re glowing appraisal might change that though 👍

@CaptD
Congrats mate.
As a showcase for the PS5 I thought it was great, flashy fun.
In terms of gameplay,I think I preferred the previous one.

@CaptD The Craigbears (or whatever) weren’t the most easy to find but I agree it was a pretty straightforward platinum, especially compared to the reboot. That said, I think I preferred the reboot but Rift Apart is a great PS5 exclusive.

No platinum trophy for Wahammer 40k: Boltgun… what the literal ****!?!?

@colonelkilgore Same with Cosmodread, crazy devs what are they thinking.

@sorteddan @Thrillho I've played all the Ratchet games, even All for One and I think Crack in Time is my favourite but I really liked the set pieces in the latest and rail grinding is my favourite pasttime so the latest Ratchet is up there as one of the best for me.

I got the platinum in Demon's Souls (PS5).

@johncalmc Congrats, an awesome remake. Umbasa.

@johncalmc congrats bud, my favourite game with souls in the title that!

@johncalmc Congrats ! That's a nice one.

@AgentCooper heeey congrats to the young trophy hunter ! Probably the first of many

#354 Ghostwire : Tokyo - This could've been called Collectible : Tokyo to be honest, there are literally THOUSANDS of collectibles, this is just insane. Lots of pros and cons on this one, the story and characters are uninteresting, the campaign was meh, but at the same time, navigating through the city felt great, and combat is very cool. So yeah, a bit mitigated. An interesting game all in all.

@AgentCooper Congrats to Trainee Cooper.
@Cornaboyzzz Good job on Ghostwire, I'm playing that ATM on and off and I'm really not sure at the moment...I don't like to give up on games but PS+ Extra makes it so easy.

@AgentCooper much congrats to lil’ Cooper, amazing stuff from the youngster!

Much congrats to @Cornaboyzzz too, sounds like a bit of a mixed bag for you but you got the shiny and will hopefully find something more to your taste got #355.

@johncalmc @Cornaboyzzz
Well done on your recent shinies!

@AgentCooper
And pass on my well wishes and praise to @InfantCooper (@AgentCooperJr?)
Got me wondering how many I'd have got if I'd been able to start from that age.

Out of my 12 platinums, which is a small amount compared to most, 9 of them are of the cheap "buy a platinum" variety. That was roughly a year ago when I thought it would be a good idea to buy cheap platinums (I only had 1 at the time) with those $1.49 shovelware games that flooded PSN for a period. When going through my trophy list from time to time I see the group of 9 all together and it almost feels like they are a stain on my trophy list. Likely an overreaction, but I do kind of wish I didn't bother getting those 9 cheap platinums. A platinum is a platinum no matter how you got it I suppose.

@KilloWertz I have quite a few platinums but then again my collection date back to when they started (my first one is Uncharted 1 in 2008 I think) so I've never felt the need to "catch up".
I did do a couple of autopop platinums and they didn't really sit right with me so I refuse to do them now but I do sometimes replay a game simply because I enjoyed the game And earning another platinum is a cherry on the top (and definitely not a "freebie").
Each to their own at the end of the day so it's whatever really but I do read the "latest platinum" thread on psnprofiles, mainly because I like to see what people thought of a game etc.. and there is one person which posts these minute platinums and multiple regional stacks of them and you wonder why they bother but then it does wind people up over on psnprofiles so perhaps that is it.

I'm surprised Sony hasn't clamped down on them and on the flip side it is quite of annoying to see £20+ games lacking a platinum, quite a few PSVR titles fall in this category, I even have a VR game which is 200hr 10/10 difficulty and it lacks one (I read a Reddit post from the developer and he said post launch that he would try to add one and I thought "I'm sure Sony won't be allowing that").

@CaptD I was on the PS3 whenever trophies debuted as well. I just never really cared to go out of my way to get a platinum, which is why I only had 1 for over a decade. I'm not sure why I decided one day last year to start getting these $1.49 vaporware platinums.

I definitely will never buy any of those "games" again just to get platinums. As I said earlier, it bothered me seeing them on my trophy list as it almost felt like I tainted my account, but obviously there's nothing I can do about it now.

@CaptD @AgentCooper @colonelkilgore Hey fellas. I’ve dropped the Far Cry 5 platinum attempt. Tried to get on with the game, but it’s seriously just grinding my gears at this point.
Thought about dropping it entirely over the weekend as I was doing the Jacob missions (not fun! who thought that was a good idea?).

Triggered Faith mission by accident by fast travelling. So I just want to get this over it at this point.

I have such a love-hate relationship with Ubi games & takes a while before I remember why these games always end up burning me out😅. Same thing happened with Origins. Loved it for 20 hours or so then lost me.
Going to focus on the DQXI platinum.

Also definitely up for doing some boosting in the future👍.

@Fight_Teza_Fight no worries bud, good luck with the Dragon Quest XI plat 👍

@colonelkilgore Will do. I know it’s probably 100hours+, but I’m just taking my sweet time with it. @AgentCooper I had to check but the last Ubi game I got 100% were Far Cry Primal & Child of Light. I say 100% because CoL does not have a platinum! Great game though.

@AgentCooper I mostly played it on the vita on the commute to work way back then. Probably only took me 10-12 hours, but yeah no platinum.

I think a sequel was in development, but it got canned. I imagine it didn’t sell to well.
