#56 - Hunt Showdown. Not the platinum I was expecting to pop next and probably not even the platinum I deserve. As a proper live service game it’s not something I expected to enjoy but there’s something about this game they nailed. It’s a real roller coaster of an experience too. It’s been the most fun I’ve had with any game before, but also the most annoyed and frustrated I’ve been too.

One of the great things about the game is its mixture of PvP and PvE elements. Either of those things can totally change how the game is going in a moment. You can have taken down the boss, got the bounty and be waiting for extraction only for another team to suddenly show up and kill you all. Equally you can easily die to something environmental in a careless moment where you meet a pack of hell hounds.

While you can play solo the best moments I’ve had is playing as a trio and I couldn’t have bagged this platinum without the elite hunter squad of Kairu (who’s not on the forum anymore) and @nitram2k11. I’ve lost count of the number of times one of those guys saved the day but hopefully I’ve reciprocated the odd time or two 😅

excellent effort @render
Fun + Frustration = Funstration. Sounds like it fits the category.

@render congrats dude, glad you pushed on to finish off the headshot requirement etc. So annoying when a game doesn’t let you track how much of something you’ve achieved so far when a trophy requirement just gives the final goal. Kudos for getting there though 👍

Congrats @render another one in the bag with a little help from your friends. Hey that might make a good song.

@render Teamwork makes the dream work! Congratulations!

#33- Marvels Spider-Man.

Another one out of the backlog! I got it at release, but dropped it for some reason.
I don’t think it hit the heights of Arkham Asylum (& knight) for me, but it’s up there.
Wasn’t a fan of the stealth missions or the QTEs, so I hope they address that in the sequel.

I’ve still got the DLC to play & Miles Morales, but I’ll probably save that for closer to Spider-Man 2 release.

@sorteddan @colonelkilgore @CaptD @RogerRoger Cheers all. It feels good to get that one done. Now to get this Zombie Army 4 platinum put to bed 😅

@Kidfried @Fight_Teza_Fight Congrats on the Jedi and Spidey platinums. It's been a while since I played either but I enjoyed both of those games and I can't say I'm really a Star Wars or Spider-Man fan at all.

@render Congrats on a very rare platinum indeed, glad I could play a small part in your road to the Plat, the game really is good fun when you have an awesome squad of buddies (not sure I'd class myself as elite mind) and I must admit I got far more out of it than I expected when picking it up randomly in a sale!

Well done @Fight_Teza_Fight for going back to finish it off
I agree about the stealth parts being a bit of a put off.
MM is a much more streamlined experience and arguably better for it.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Youre gonna love Miles Morales then, it's the superior game. You can skip Spideryy's DLC, but don't skip on this great game!

@Fight_Teza_Fight congrats buddy… and as others have said, I found Miles Morales quite a bit more enjoyable.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Awesome, nice work on the Spidey platinum!

Not sure I'd advise skipping the DLC as it feels like some of its plot points might become real important in the sequel, but I'll definitely echo the Miles Morales recommendation!

#57 - Zombie Army 4. Brilliant brilliant game. Rebellion do so many things right and considering they aren't a massive studio that's saying something. Their games always have a similar feel to them but also manage to feel different at the same time. Couple that with a great sense of humour and that's something special.

Thanks to @AgentCooper and @colonelkilgore for your time to go through the coop and horde trophies and a second thanks to AgentCooper for the tip on the quick levelling which meant I could rattle through those last levels to avoid the grind. It was a hell lot of fun playing this with you guys!

@render 🫡

@render Another triumph in the face of the fourth undead force! Congratulations!

@render Well done on the latest plat and for keeping those dastardly zombies at bay.

@RogerRoger @CaptD Thanks guys and CaptD, I forgot to mention you previously when I said thanks to the other guys but thanks for the help with the coop campaign. It was early on for me but I think it was probably at the end of your run to the platinum, you just smashed this one 👍

@render
And another congrats for a ZA4 shiny. At least we'll know which guys to turn to when the inevitable zombie apocalypse occurs. Good stuff.

@sorteddan Cheers man, as long as I can get hold of Mosin or a Shotgun Mortar we should be fine 😄

#159 Death's Door (PS5)
I can't praise this game highly enough. Loved just about every moment of it. It was the exact thing I needed to play at this moment in time. Happy to challenge myself with a second - umbrella only run - which I actually found easier than the first at most points. If I'm right in thinking that the digital purchase got me both PS5 and PS4 versions with separate trophy lists then I may go do it all again in a few months time.
Without doubt my favourite game I've played this year.
About 23 hours over both runs.

And my tenth plat of the year so far.
