@Bob_Salat 🍻 yeah you’ll see me back on here with that one in Dec 2027 if my projections are correct 🤓
The online is bloody crazy tbh but if you did end up deciding to go for it, I’d help you out with the Fly The Co-op mission if you wanted, which is the most difficult one 👍.
@sorteddan and if our previous counts have any bearing on today, I’d imagine that you would be at around #230-#240 by now… so congrats on probably hitting the big two-double-zero around 8 or 9 months ago I’d imagine 🤔
@Bob_Salat yeah I figured tbh… it’s just those Fly the Co-op missions are so much fun when you have a decent team. When I first started going for them I honestly thought we’d never do them as the required times are so tough. By the time I had a handle on what needed to be done and when, I was just running groups of noobs through them all night just for the fun of it (already having the trophy). R* actually should’ve done more missions than just the three available as they’re so good.
Has anyone got the Among Us plat? Thinking of going for it as I just need the last kills and tasks grind trophies. If I jumped into a game, did all my tasks, and then quit would it still count towards my total? It gets so frustrating sitting waiting for people to do their tasks when they just... don't.
@Bob_Salat Hey! I'm good, thanks how are you? I hadn't realised it's been that long! Life got in the way, I guess.
I don't mind grinding solo, I just find it frustrating when you do all your tasks and then you need to play for another 15 or 20 minutes or so while no one else does theirs. It's like they don't know you win if you do your tasks.
I did get the plat for Death Stranding! Good memory! Loved the experience and can't wait for the next one. I've also got the plat for Astro Bot, GTA Vice City, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, No Man's Sky, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Spider-Man 2, Jedi Survivor, Sonic Frontiers, Fall Guys and Stray. Phew!
@Bob_Salat Oh man, you weren't exaggerating! It has been 2 years since I did Death Stranding.
I got the plat for Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse yesterday. I'm eagerly awaiting my Reforged physical edition so thought I'd play this to tide me over. It was fun enough. I have some issues with a couple of puzzles and the writing is clearly intended to be fanservice, given it was crowdfunded, and I just hope 6 just focuses on being a good story.
Aiming to do Plucky Squire next. Enjoying some shorter games after spending ages in FF7: Rebirth, a game I have no intention of platinuming given it's soooo huge.
I’m not as dedicated with trophies as I used to be, so I have to make note of the rare event for me getting a platinum — The Gardens Between, # 43. First plat in the last 4 months. 😄
Charming game and a really easy and quick platinum. I left more extended thoughts on the game over on the Game Club thread.
It’s the first and hopefully not the last for 2025.

I got the platinum in Stellar Blade. I hardly ever play a game on new game plus to get a platinum. I only really do it for games I really, really like which means that I guess I really, really liked Stellar Blade.
@Th3solution yeah, I plan on it. I did do alright last year coming off a big gaming slump but will do much better this year. That's the plan anyway haha

@PeaceSalad 36 would be a really productive year. Good luck with it!
I don’t have a specific number in mind this year, but I’ve fallen off the platinum wagon recently and so I don’t expect very many. My rough outline of games for the year has a lot of difficult trophy lists. But I might squeeze out a few this year, regardless, we’ll see.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@PeaceSalad So, I figure I’ll play a couple smaller indies — A Night in the Woods, Under the Waves, Deliver Us Mars are possibilities, and I want to play one or two more from Dark Pictures Anthology. Some of those style games have achievable platinums.
Also, I have a couple bigger games that I might try for platinums, depending if the games really click for me — Days Gone, HFW, Mafia 1. I also might shoot for (no pun intended) an Uncharted platinum. I have UC2 and maybe 3 on the list for this year and so I’ll see if A) I do get around to a replay if those, and B) if I want to take on Crushing difficulty. I’ve never tried for an Uncharted platinum, despite having played (and enjoyed thoroughly) all six games. It’s that high difficulty that has been a put-off for me, not the collectibles.
Also, I might jump into Ghost of Yotei on release, and Tsushima was a great fun platinum, so it might be a candidate too.
Otherwise, most of the games I’ll likely be playing this year are too big to be completionist about — Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dark Souls 3, among others.
Right now I am playing Resident Evil 4 Remake and FF7 Crisis Core Reunion — I’m already out of the platinum for Crisis Core because I missed something and there’s several points where you can’t go back for collectibles. Also the side quests are quite grindy. And for RE4… it looks like the plat requires at least 4 playthroughs and 6 if you want a more leisurely pace. Not to mention the high difficulty S runs just sound like an absolute chore and I’d rather not. 😅 I prefer my Resident Evil games to be fairly easy.

@PeaceSalad
Well congrats on your start to the year. You've really flown out the gate so far, hope you can keep up the momentum. You know it never occurred to me to do The Gardens Between on both versions... May have to slip it into my schedule as I'm currently on zero plats for the year so far 😥. I think my last one was Spider-Man 2 around Xmas time.
@Th3solution
Out of your list I remember enjoying the Days Gone platinum, and the whole game to be honest. I think I platted all 4 Uncharted games and the Crushing difficulty is not too bad on the whole, as long as you already have infinite ammo and a powerful gun. There are a couple of sections in each game that may prove a massive frustration but if I can do it then I'm sure you could too if you were determined to.
And I also play most of the RE games but rarely attempt to go for the platinums, they just have a way of setting the trophy challenges that would make me have to spend too much time and effort doing stuff I don't want to! Played 4Remake a couple of months back but not really motivated to do the harder difficulty playthrough, even though I've already got the infinite ammo rocket.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan Yeah, I’m weird because I have really enjoyed some difficult games — at least what other people consider as difficult — such as the From Souls games or Returnal (pre-nerf patching) and yet some games I just absolutely cannot get into the harder difficulties. One reason I know I just don’t want to do the “playthrough on Hardcore difficulty and get S+ rank while using only knives and pistols and no manual saves and no talking to the vendor” run is because even the standard difficulty on the base original RE4 was hard enough to sap all enjoyment from me. Granted a lot of that came down to the tank controls and cumbersome menu swapping for weapon change outs, but it was also a lot more difficult and the enemies were stronger and more aggressive, from what I remember. The Remake on assisted difficulty has been a joy to play and so much more fun for me.
I’m glad to hear about the Days Gone platinum and that maybe I’ve been underselling myself on my ability to do Crushing difficulty in Uncharted. Sony has typically had really good trophy lists.
At the end of the day, amount of free time is going to be a major factor also. I have a lot of gaming to try to fit in this year, and limited space in my schedule. So doing multiple runs of a game, or restarting a section over and over to get through an encounter for 2 hours isn’t going to be the best use of my time, unless I’m having a blast with the game. …I say that, then also fully acknowledge that’s how I play From games and I’ve loved every one of those. 😅
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@PeaceSalad I’m not too worried about the platinums that I miss, especially if they are complex and have several missable trophies. It does grate on me when I just miss one or two trophies, but in the case of Crisis Core, there’s several places you can easily miss something and there’s no chapter select at the end. I’ll end up several trophies short, I’m sure.
And yeah, I don’t usually revisit games. In fact I’m really averse to it, even with games designed to be replayed for a completely different experience, such as Disco Elysium, or the narrative choice games like Detroit Become Human, the Supermassive games, and the like. Even many of my very favorite games have only been played once, despite some that I am exceedingly close to a platinum if I were to replay it. If it’s been several years since the original playthrough then I sometimes consider it, but usually I can’t motivate myself to do it. The exception has been for remasters and remakes. Playing a favorite game again with a new coat of paint does feel nice, the few times I’ve done it.
It’s a weird quirk of mine and I am trying to be more open to going back to games, so that’s why I set some goals around it and so far it’s been fantastic with RE4, to revisit it through the Remake has been sublime. The planned Uncharted resurrection tour is going to be another attempt, and my motivation is not necessarily to go back solely for the platinum, rather I just want to play the remasters and remakes. The series is one of the chief reasons I’m a PlayStation gamer, so it’s time I pay it some due. I already replayed UC1, so I’m on my way. 😄
The other series that I really want to replay (also via the remastered collection) is Mass Effect. It’s one that I have also done the first game already and just need to pick back up and continue. If I’m being realistic, I don’t know that I am going to be able to get to both it and UC this year with all the other new (to me) stuff I want to play. I set my goal/plans to revisit 2 games I never completed and revisit 2 favorites due for a replay; so 4 games this year where I return to something from my past.
