@Th3solution You don’t even need to mate, just enter your PlayStation username, click on update profile and then access your profile. You can upgrade to premium at a small fee for some further facilities but you’ll be able can access the vast majority of it from what I’ve detailed above.
@graymamba@Th3solution
Just to add a little more info. As GM said just tap in your PSN ID in on the main page and as long as your PSN privacy info isn’t too restrictive then it should update and give a URL to your stats.
Save the URL and use whenever, your stats should automatically update every 24 hours and by upgrading to Premium I think this goes to 2hours although I’m not on Premium so could be wrong.

@CaptD Yeah great game The Last of Us and I did consider replaying it, but I found it so stressful I couldn't bring myself to play it again, never mind platinum it! Still only played it once to this day.
@Th3solution Yeah Kena is a game I started recently and didn't really give it a fair shot. I was going through one of those phases where you bounce around different games and can't settle. Might give it another go if it pops up on Extra again. Sniper Elite 4 had a similar difficulty trophy workaround and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. That trophy would have been hanging over my conscience forever! So I completed the game again on Authentic difficulty for the platinum, like a masochist.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
So due to recent discussion on this thread I was thinking about the games that remain in my trophy list with embarrassingly low percentages. Now some of them are definitely not my fault (or do I will claim) but result from the days when my niece and nephew would come and stay over and I'd let them play any old crap to keep them entertained for an hour or two. I seem to recall one of them spending as much time setting up that gimmicky eye-toy accessory as actually playing the thing it was bundled with. Or my nephew playing some terrible Minecraft looking thing (Portal Knights maybe?) for a while half hour before abandoning it.
Wish I'd had the foresight to make them separate accounts but hey ho, such is life.
Other games were down to my curiosity and randomly downloading stuff of ps plus before quickly realising I would never willingly spend any time on. Mighty Number Nine springs to mind, it looked a bit like Mega-Man but was just bad and no fun at all to me.
Anyhow got me thinking, not for the first time, that I should be able to delete things off if my trophy list even if I have obtained a trophy or two. Not that it matters in the great scheme of things, it's not like anybody has ever looked at my trophy list but me!, but it would be good for my peace of mind to permanently hide my shame. Hell I think I would even pay to do so, like if I could pay £1 to delete 10 games from the list I would do so. Sony have missed a trick there maybe.
But because I was pondering the shameful sub ten percenters it also got me to thinking about the other end of the scale. Those games that I've had to abandon one of two trophies short of completion/platinum, mostly for the sake of my sanity. Titanfall 2 and its terrible 2 second assault course challenge where I had to admit I was probably never going to get gud enough for. Seriously spending a few hours attempting something that should take seconds drove me to distracton. Similarly the gauntlet thing on Sackboy I had to give up on before I felt the need to put my controller through a wall. That one should have at least had a checkpoint at halfway. Just thinking about it makes me want to swear. More recently I gave up on RE Village one trophy away from the plat as I just count motivate myself to play the arcade like Mercenary mode. That one I think I could actually have achieved though, I just didn't want to spend 10+ hours doing something I don't enjoy.
So peoples, what's worse... A game on your list with only 1 or 2 trophies obtained or a game with only 1 of 2 missing?? And are there any games you've had to walk away from so close to completion and why?
@sorteddan Yeah, I do wish I could delete or at least hide games from the trophy list. There’s a hide function to hide games from other people, but there’s no way to filter out games from your own view, that I know of. I think that I heard somewhere that giving people the ability to delete games from their trophy list creates some kind of background security headache for Sony. I forget the details but the integrity of the system is really locked down with the trophies and they don’t want to budge. Of course that was the way the PSN names were and they figured out a way to let us change those without breaking our accounts.
To your query about which being worse, having games with only 1-2 trophies achieved or games missing 1-2 trophies, I think the former bugs me more. To me those games with just 1-3% completion stick out like a sore thumb as a games I shamefully and regretfully only spent a few minutes with and am stuck having to stare at the empty memories of the pointless experience.
That said, I do have a handful of games which I’m missing just a few trophies for the platinum and 100% completion. The most notable in recent memory is A Plague Tale Requiem. I platinum’d the first game but the second requires at least a partial second playthrough to fully upgrade all the skills. I just didn’t want to invest in that at this time. Maybe later
Persona 4 Golden I’m missing a few, but once I realized the Hardcore Risette Fan trophy was so difficult with RNG and meticulous planning, I didn’t go out of my way to get some of the other difficult but achievable trophies.
Oxenfree was a game I had a plan to replay for the platinum. It’s not very long, but I can’t bring myself to do it now.
Limbo is a game I am merely missing the trophy for speedrunning the game all in one sitting. I hate those with a passion.
The aforementioned Kena has me lacking just the completion on Master difficulty. I hate those too.
And a final one that comes to mind is Stray, which also has a speedrun trophy which I’m noped out of.
All that said, I don’t mind seeing those games with 80-90% completion as much as I see Battleborn at 1% (a blight upon gaming, that game was), or Wipeout HD at 1% (I suck so bad at that game for some reason that I just could never get into it.)
@Th3solution
Yeah I'm not a fan of a speedrun challanges either. I think whenever I have done so it's been with a tablet showing a video and I watch for 2 mins then unpause the game and attempt to replicate what I just watched... I don't usually have the mental capacity to remember every correct direction to take it the precise order to pick up whatever all the while watching the seconds tick away.
I remember being just grateful to get through Limbo, trying to do it against the clock with no mistakes wasn't going to happen!
... And I also suck at Wipeout games btw, I'm not sure how anyone manages to not just bounce off every wall at every corner like I do.
@Th3solution
RE Kena master difficulty. There is a glitch with that trophy, I’m not ashamed to say that I used it and I’m sure many many (many many) others did too. You basically just have to do the first small section in master and then skip to the end, it is a little tricky to pull off but not too difficult.
@sorteddan
I love the Wipeout games ever since the first one but I’ve always been fairly rubbish at them, that is until VR. VR is so suited to that game and elates it from an uncontrollable ping pong game to a smooth zen like experience.
I’m just a three trophies away from the Omega platinum, sitting at 80%
I will never forgive Sony for not porting it to PSVR2.
My two other wipeout games on my profile have an E (two bronze) and C rank (7 bronze), both of the games (I think) make up the Omega collection.
@CaptD
Works for me. From now on I can tell people that the reason I was rubbish at Wipeout was because I never had a VR set. Better for my mental state than admitting that my eyesight and reflexes are just not suited to games at that velocity.
(And just checked - my Omega collection is 13/35 20%)
@RogueCooper
Yeah me too.
I don't like the sub 10% or whatever but they're down in the list at the parts I rarely venture to. The 98%ers I don't have to look for, they are imprinted into my gamer soul like a brand that says I lack the will of a true champion.

Latest (almost) platinum is Vampire the masquerade Justice, a VR game.
Really enjoyed this despite having an issue with what should be a simple trophy, Barfighter, hit an enemy with a bottle which sounds simple and it is but it just wouldn’t pop for me. I might delete my data file and try again but I can’t see that making any difference. Very annoying especially as I liked the game and had minimal issues besides that which was good as people mentioned shredded savefiles and other issues.
Game was a good 7.5/10 (for a VR game), 22 hours to almost platinum. Super rare platinum and the majority of the trophies are ultra rare on psnprofiles so it seems like the majority of gamers didn’t like it which is a shame, I suspect it launched in a rough state and people haven’t returned....either that or I have really poor taste.
Platinum #65: Indiana Jones
Loved everything about this. They really nailed the vibe of the old movies, Troy Baker is incredible as Indy and the supporting cast is excellent.
The trophies themselves aren't particularly hard either, a lot of things to collect but you can eventually get maps that lead you to everything, so you can literally explore it yourself just as much as you feel like.
Fantastic game, would recommend.
Took me 40-ish hours to platinum, I think.
I recently finished another playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 and realised it may be doable for me to get the platinum in this awesome game. I was currently sitting on 144 platinums and thought it would be fitting to try and honour this game by making it my 150th. So I set about looking through my available games for some quick, fairly simple platinums.
With all the recent attention given to Death Stranding 2 I remembered that I did the original on PS4 and I could get a fairly simple one by getting the Director's Cut on PS5 by importing my save. Having looked up that just 3 extra trophies would be needed I stumped up the £5 upgrade and imported my completed save. However for some reason loading my save left 5 trophies after the auto-popping and for some reason a lot of my 'connections' had been lowered or lost all together. It basically meant doing a lot more deliveries to unlock all the items needed to be able to craft everything. Thankfully I enjoyed playing through a lot of it and even went and finished building the entire road network which I didn't do before. 60 hours later I had my 'auto-popped' PS5 Death Stranding.
After that I did some proper short ones in
Jusant - (several hours pretty straight forward with guide)
Endling PS4 - (about 4 hours but bit tricky at times with text guide)
Endling PS5 - (easy hour with excellent video guide from Optinoob - should have found it earlier!)
Little Nightmares 2 PS5 - (only a few hours with another vid from that channel. I did the PS4 version a while back and forgot how annoying it is in sections.)
Alone in the Dark - (I used another video guide from Optinoob again which is so efficient I had both playthroughs with extra endings done in under 5 hours. Unfortunately there is a trophy for playing for 8 hours so had to just leave it paused for 3 hours to get the platinum.)
So that's me on 149 platinums and embarking on my 'Tactician' run of BG3 🤞.
@BearsEatBeets
Good work with the recent platfest. That sounds like the kind of daft mission that I would go on...
Kinda glad that your Death Stranding plan didn't work, you shouldn't be paying £5 to auto pop a shiny (just my opinion like) so having to play for a bunch more hours makes it more of a reasonable price. Even more glad you enjoyed doing so.
And thanks for the info. Was already gonna get around to Jusant at some point but now I'm also tempted to get that vid and do a 5 hour Alone in the Dark sesh as well. (Think I may already have all the others you mentioned)
@sorteddan Cheers. Yeah I wouldn't have paid £5 for a straight auto-pop, I knew there was extra stuff to do and new content. I just ended up with quite a bit more than expected which was fine. I don't generally do auto-pop anyway, I usually just replay. The only one I remember doing it for was Ghost of Tsushima as I wanted to go straight into the expansion that came with it.
I certainly recommend checking the Optinoob (pretty sure that's the spelling) channel for quality guides for plats. He's helped me with a few now.
I don't do games just for platinums often, the last time was when I wanted to make God of War Ragnarök my 100th. So I'll probably be doing it again if/when I get near 200.
@BearsEatBeets
Oh I'm not averse to a good autopop, I just wouldn't pay to do so. In fact, in the past year I've played a couple of PS4 games when I could played the PS5 version just so I could get two shinies instead of one (Guardians of the Galaxy and more recently We Love Katamari).
