Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@jdv95 @JohnnyShoulder Cheers guys. I didn't think 1000 fish sounded too bad, until I actually started doing some fishing and realised how long it would take. 🐟🐟🐟🐟

@Gremio108 @JohnnyShoulder @jdv95
Never been a fan of fishing mini-activities in video games. It’s just a thinly veiled version of loot boxes or “surprise mechanics” where the commodity you invest isn’t money but instead time waiting to see what random prize you catch. I guess in some games there’s skill to it, but not much. It still relies on hoping that the game grants you that rare fish or item this time.
Perhaps I’m jaded by experiences such as trying to catch the Sea Guardian in Persona 4 to get that stupid bronze trophy.
Well, not to mention that actual true life fishing is even worse. Tedious, stinky, and gross.

@Th3solution Not sure I would class fishing mini games the same as loot boxes or stuff like that. They are not usually linked to completing the main game and I've not known any that you can pay real money for either.

@Th3solution Ironically there were times when I'd have happily paid someone to fish for me

SoulCalibur VI, my 24th platinum! Actually played it in two parts: arcade/online first — a long break — Story/ Libra of Soul (which was quite fleshed out). All in all it was good fun but I won’t be returning to it for a long time...

Picked up Mortal Kombat 11 as it’s the deal of the week and I’m a sucker for fighting games.

@RogerRoger Yes, they are indeed very different. It’s also been ages since I properly played a MK game so I look forward to dive in and explore.

Won’t be playing it exclusively too, have some other games to get stuck in (bought Sayonara Wild Hearts and looking to get started with the Uncharted Collection or Batman: AK).

I just finished a second play of Civ 6 and it has some pretty niche trophies, although I did like one I got called “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?” which is for having an improved amber resource in a city with a zoo and an archeological museum 🦖

@Thrillho Love Civ trophies, almost all of them are pop culture references such as that Jurassic Park one!

Finally ran through and finished up Spiderman for Plat number 79. Such a phenomenal game, can't wait to dive in to the DLC/NG+!

I recently acquired the Freedom! and Fond Memories in Catherine: Full Body for beating the game and getting the ending where Vincent reconciles with Katherine.

I got the platinum in Dark Souls Remastered.

@LN78 I got a big sword and I whacked everyone with it.

And THEY died.

honestly it was rad

@johncalmc Well done. Praise the sword

@johncalmc Big swords are the best swords. Black knight sword was my jam for basically the whole trilogy.

honestly you can't beat a big sword. I also used magic for the first time despite having already beaten all three dark souls games previously. it was alright. the sword was better.

In Knights and Bikes, one area is a scrapyard where you can use the magnets to pick things up for puzzles.

You also get a trophy for using one to do this;

@RogerRoger That’s a lot of bottom/poo puns for one comment.

I got the platinum in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.
