Just got the Astro's Playroom platinum. Now have 102 total. Several told me that should've been my first PS5 plat, but I had long planned for Stray. Well, made it the second one! I really enjoyed it. Wish they would make a full length game with Astro for PS5. He's adorable!
Platinum #144 - Mass Effect - was the game I bought a 360 for back in the day and I loved it back then. All these years later it actually took me a while to get into it… but I eventually did.
Platinum #145 - Far Cry 6 - I love the series and this was one of the best (prob 2nd behind FC5).
Platinum #146 - Chronos before the Ashes - nice little souls-like and a lovely flashback to Remnant from the Ashes.
@colonelkilgore Nice trio, FC6 was indeed excellent. I've just started another Ubisoft game, Immortal Fenyx Rising. Very good so far and quite surprised how good the writing and characters are, it amazes me that they seem to have decent writers and actors on AC, FC but then a load of chuff on The Crew and Riders Republic.
@sorteddan Finally got that Helldivers trophy, the community clearly went through their training missions again and got gud.
@CaptD nice dude, saw you mention the troubles you were having with that Helldivers trophy the other day, so I’m glad you finally got it… also, you’ll have to give me some pointers on it asi still want to make a start on the game at some point.
Also, glad you’re enjoying Immortals: Fenix Rising. It looks good fair play, will have yo find a spare 80 hours to give it a go I reckon 😅
@CaptD
Oh nice. That's another one that you don't have to look out for, guessing most of the remaining ones require time, luck or talent on your part rather than having to rely on the community. As for me I've figured an exploit to grind kills at a higher rate so now up to around 85k, should be hopefully done in a few days.

@render 🤣 cheers buddy. So a few months back I managed to get ahead of schedule, so I started working on the next months games. Eventually getting so ahead of schedule that the next months games were close to done too. So I started leaving one trophy on each game ready to pop on the first of the next month. I’ve already been working on Septembers plats for almost 2 weeks by this point 😅
@colonelkilgore I am very impressed and that's the exact oppose to me. I'm still working on plats from months ago that I'm just not getting the time to play or playing badly when I do.
When I've had the chance I've tried that Never Give Up trophy on Dead Nation, which is one of the only ones I've got left on it, but got to round 7-8 and then been got by a cutter. Damn infuriating 😅
@render I found that trophy very challenging myself. Epic feeling that time I managed it though… good luck for the next time dude. Also, I still have it installed if you still need the mp trophies.
@colonelkilgore Cheers man. I actually got the wife into it enough to play the campaign couch coop in undead mode and I think she partly enjoyed it. I think there's just one more which is not taking any damage on a campaign so I'll see if she'll help me with that one as well. She did good though considering she'd never played before so perhaps she's just naturally good at Housemarque games
@colonelkilgore@render It’s impressive that you all are able to go back and do trophy mop-ups after moving on to new games. I can barely re-train my brain to do the bare minimum completion if I have left a game for a few weeks. Of course it depends on the game; some games you can jump back in better than others. But the fact that the last remaining trophies are typically the toughest ones, I’m finding that if I don’t get the platinum on the first run through a game, it’s just not going to happen. 😄
@Th3solution cheers for the props bud… but in all honesty I tend to leave a relatively simple trophy if possible, so I can just nip on, do-the-do and nip off.
@colonelkilgore That makes sense. So it’s not like you go back a month later after your muscle memory is all reset to something new and then have your go at the Ultra-Nightmare Permadeath Insanity mode! 😄

Well done on the latest plats guys! @colenelkilgore Does FC6 have enemy scaling? I read that it’s not as bad as FC New Dawn, but it’s still there. I doubt I’d go for the platinum, but the last boss in New Dawn was so bullet spongy. As it’s on Extra I might just do the critical path, as I’d likely enjoy the campaign more that way.

So got platinum #5 for the year, in Scarlet Nexus a couple of weeks ago & its arguably the least likely game I’ll ever would’ve expected to plat.
I was looking for an anime souls experience & got Scarlet Nexus confused with Code Vein on Extra😂😅!
2 Playthroughs. 41 hours. First play through was around 25 hours. Second just over 8 hours. Rest clean up.
The combat is so stylish & just awesome (only way to describe it really). The way combos blend in together really is pleasing. Story is better than expected. Skip the cutscenes for the ‘bonding’ stuff- there’s no pay off & it’s just nonsense really.
This bring me to Dragon Quest XI S.
I’ve been stuck on 94% completion for some time now.
The final trophy I have to acquire is the all ‘character altering skins’…
Now the last one of course is a [insert swear] Bunny Costume locked behind the Super Secret Super Boss.
Beat the true secret boss, beat the optional super boss, but now this is one step too far.
Every guide suggests the same cheese method. This involves being in a constant state of invincibility which requires super expensive items & hope you don’t get hit with a status ailment.
The problem? The fight lasts well over 15min, boss gets 3 attacks per turn (can inflict ailments) & even at lvl99 can OTK the entire party. Getting into a state of invincibility requires the entire party to be able to move & there are no items that can protect with 100% certainty (ranges from 30-50%).
Pretty much pray to the RNG gods the battle.
The plan is to have a couple of goes a day against him & eventually I’ll get lucky.
After writing all this I’m going to do this tonight, aren’t I😅?
