Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Ralizah I've got the shield weaver armour, and I'm bringing across those high-powered DLC weapons to kick some robo backside with. I'm definitely dreading those deathbringer encounters nonetheless.

@nessisonett For once I don't feel like a peasant with my measly 7 platinums!

I’m playing through Telltale’s Batman: The Enemy Within and of course the trophies are popping like corn, but it prompted me to question — how many of you all out there have the feature enabled for your PS4 to do an automatic screen cap with every trophy?

I used to have it enabled, thinking that it was a great way to historically record a potentially hard fought event. But I disabled it after I got so many horribly useless screenshots of a trophy notification in the corner of an all black screen, or worse — a trophy notification in the corner of a blurry mess or of a random picture of the game menu. 😂

@Th3solution Yeah I turned off the system taking shots of trophy popping after realising I was taking up hard-drive space with loads of photos of blank screens, menu screens and the like. I spent one afternoon going through and deleting about 99% of them. If more games do like Days Gone did and actually work out and make sure something worthwhile is on screen when it pops then I'll turn it back on.

@Th3solution I've kept them only because it doesn't bother me that much. And hopefully more games will take same approach Days Gone and Spider-Man took like @BearsEatBeets mentions.

@JohnnyShoulder I didn't realise Spider-man did it as well. I can't remember if I'd turned it off by the time I played that, might have to check.

@RogerRoger I highly recommend you turn it back on if only for Spider-Man, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results!

I was off work because of the whole deadly virus thing, so I got the platinum in Canis Canem Edit, South Park: The Stick of Truth, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

@johncalmc

@Thrillho Well I didn't have anything else to do to be fair.

@johncalmc Well, they're not the easiest to do.

FF7R seems challenging (and time consuming!)
Spyro 2 wasn't too hard from what I remember as even I got it (although did that have the one with the boss you had to defeat without being hit?)
SP: Stick of Truth had loads of niche trophies
SP: Fractured but Whole needed two runs to complete

I don't know the others but that's still more platinums than I've got in the last 12 months.

@Thrillho @RogerRoger Yeah there is a trophy for killing a boss without taking a hit, and it's harder than Bloodborne, but you can get it easily by collecting all the gems and getting permanent superflame, then you can just blast it to death and it doesn't get a look in.

@johncalmc Some of us earned that trophy the hard way. And yes, it was a fight From would have been proud of.

GIF RESCINDED.

@Thrillho I don't deserve the .gif 😢

@RogerRoger Man, you must be LOVING the game (I still have your review to read) to have played the game, DLC, and then go straight back in to do it all again! Certainly getting your moneys worth at the current price

@RogerRoger Not sure if you are aware but you didn't need to complete the game on Ultimate difficulty to get the platinum, just complete the game on normal, do all the side quests, collect all the stuff etc.

Well done btw!

@RogerRoger the DLC is on sale still I believe. Doesn't add a lot of new stuff and the screwball challenges for the trophies can be a pain but does have some good story beats. Still need to do my Ultimate play through to get back to 100%

Decided after Detroit to finally whittle away at my backlog.

Puyo Puyo Tetris - Won my first online duel against the 400th rated player in the world! No idea how, I had been practicing the Puyo challenges to pop 100,000 puyos and I got way better at that side. The opponent was a tetris master but my Puyo popping skills helped me out when it swapped between the two. Such a great feeling as its only experts playing online.

Sonic Mania - Picked up the Mean bean machine trophy.

Kentucky Route Zero @RogerRoger @kyleforrester87 @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @Neolit @Quintumply @Th3solution @carlos82 @crimsontadpoles @get2sammyb I think you would all like it but its really not for me. Completed chapter 1 and have 5 Trophies altogether decided to bin it. Far to out there my tiny brain can't comprehend what's going on. Maybe if one of you play it, I would actually understand what's happening. The various writing techniques are stunning so it's why I have included you guys in the comment as it's the furthest left field game I have ever played.

Goat Simulator - Great game for trophy hunters, snagged 12 or so Trophies last night and will be back on tonight for sure.

@themcnoisy I thought you had wildly misspelled Katana Zero then!

Are you picking up Streets of Rage 4 by the way? Fancy a play through at some point?

@themcnoisy I'd like to play Kentucky Route Zero at some point, but waiting for a sale.
