Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@sorteddan Thanks Dan. They are good games, though the first seems a lot older now compared to the second and third games. There's nothing overly difficult about the series and each one follows it's own theme. I see all three of them on Plus+ I think the second one is my favorite but that's because they introduced puppies and they did it in such a way that both are on screen at once, there's a switching mechanic which allows you to swap between each character. The A.I. controls the second one and you can build each to your liking, it's useful for healing or just to try playstyles. Each game offers physical attacks and magic, the third one includes a pistol for the pirate theme. There's a lot of humor in the games too, and some great puns. Levels, loot and gear come fast too, it definitely respects your time.

Congratulations to @Thrillho @GirlVersusGame (twice!) and @Voltan for those fresh platinums!

@Werehog Thanks! They were pretty short, I'm not sure if I'll go for one hundred percent on Infinite Wealth. I'm doing my level ten challenge at the moment. Which basically means seeing how fast I can get to double digits without doing anything story related, I just hit level eight. I can see why people like the franchise, I don't play nearly enough Japanese games. Are you working on anything yourself?

Same. This is something I'm gonna try and fix later in the year.

Not right away, though! My current plan is to start Spirit of the North 2 tomorrow. Its predecessor had a nice platinum, so I'm hoping for the same again.

@Werehog I didn't realize the second one was out until you mentioned it in another thread. We might have similar tastes in games, I really enjoyed it too. I'd hope people try it out before it leaves Plus in February. The same for Cult of The Lamb.

Just beat Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1+ and got 78% of the trophies, will not be going for the rest since my PS4 is going into storage soon.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Take care Nep Nep, I'll say goodbye to you in this thread (I read why you are leaving) hopefully it won't be ten to fifteen years like you said. Congrats on beating the game too.

There's far too much progress been made to congratulate everyone individually so I'll just give a big old mass congratulations to all, well done on conquering those tiny shiny trinkets 👍

I haven't been fully focused on gaming or platinum hunting in recent times so only earned 4 in the last 9 months. Two of which came this month

#72 Vampire Survivors (PS4) I adored and continue to adore this game, but after 250 hours, collecting both PS4 & 5 plats and 100% on Xbox I have decided to call it quits on this one.

#73 Still Wakes the Deep - I played this on Xbox at launch and always envisioned adding the platinum for this excellent title from The Chinese Room to my collection one day. I also played and completed the DLC Siren's Rest to full completion and it's a fantastic addition to the base game, adding more layers of intrigue to the setting. Up there with Far Harbour in my all timers.

Happy Hunting Gang 👍

@Bundersvessel Congrats to you too, I've heard good things about both games. I think we are both at # 73 (we are I just checked)

@GirlVersusGame ah trophy twins! But for how long? 😂 Any plans for 74 and 75?

@Bundersvessel I should be playing Infinite Wealth but something tells me that platinum might take forever. I heard Thank Goodness You Are Here is quite fast, maybe I'll cheat a little and that can be one of them. I was curious about Still Wakes the Deep too, how about you? Killer Frequency is worth checking out if you haven't. I see your Fire Walk With Me, so you might have already.

@GirlVersusGame Yes indeed, I hear those Yakuza plats are no joke. Good luck with it, I've been saying for years (often on here) that this year will be the year I start Yakuza/LAD.

Funnily enough I started Thank Goodness You're Here yesterday and it's very entertaining and captures Yorkshire life quite well. I live on the other side of a big hill that separates us from Yorkshire folk so have always had a fondness for them. I digress, Killer Frequency is on my list so good to hear another recommendation.

@Bundersvessel
Well done on the plats, I really enjoyed Still Wakes the Deep. I haven’t played VS as it doesn’t really look like my bag but people do rave about it.

@GirlversusGame
I’ve yet to play Yakuza IW but I did buy the dlc which is currently on sale.
After purchase I immediately gave it a one star review.

My latest plat is The Talos Principle 2, a brilliant game but an awful plat because of missables. The game is designed to be played three times, yes three times for a puzzle game where the puzzles are always the same and despite following a guide I still struggled with one trophy which was supposed to be the easiest of the three to get (go figure) but I did eventually get it by replaying a short sequence multiple times (I think six) and making different dialogue choices.
8.5/10 enjoyment although one playthrough is more than enough tbh.
10/10 platinum journey stress.

@CaptD Ta Cap, and congratulations on that Talos Plat. Requiring three playthroughs with no variation does seem an odd choice particularly since the developers have poured so much love into the concept.

I would definitely give VS a go, it's a low stakes endeavour but very addictive. I think you can even play it on your microwave if you don't feel like dirtying up your trophy list 😉

@CaptD
Do it! Vampire Survivors is awesome!!! Looks like cack but very fun and very addictive... Probably the best value game I ever bought - around £3 i think. And platted on both PS4 and PS5.

As for myself, just picked up my latest Shiny with Silent Hill 2 Remake. Loved it. Though had to do an extra run after missing one early memo during my collectable run (doh!). It did allow me to get the final ending I hadn't seen though so I can say I'm now fully done with the game.
Just over 40 hours total though a few of them were probably paused game reading internet guides!

@sorteddan Ah, the collectible run screwed you over in the end after all! Happy to hear that it didn't get you down at least, and you still managed to get the plat in a reasonable time. Congrats!

@Tjuz
Yeah but managed to do another 5 hour run using a more detailed (memos only) guide. Would have preferred not to do so but didn't really sour the experience much. Thanks.

@Bundersvessel
@sorteddan
I will add VS to the list, crazy amount of DLC trophies but thankfully only two sets of them require purchasing and I do like to 100% my games.
PS. I watched a review earlier and I do like the fact that you don’t need to fire, just (to quote Mike Reid) runaround.

@CaptD Oh yeah, the joy comes from picking the right combination of weapons and passive abilities and timing your upgrade path. Things can get pretty hectic if you get careless.
