Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@JohnnyShoulder

@Kidfried Did you try playing the original version after unlocking it? I got about 30 seconds in and my eyes couldn’t take those pointy polygons.

@Kidfried I do wonder if they remaster the 2nd game. I've not played either, but some say it was the better game and hopefully they spend a bit more dosh on it to iron out all the kinks.

I got the Platinum trophy for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Some people did previously report issues with getting all the trophies, but the bugs appear to have been fixed in the most recent 1.16 patch, released about a week or so ago.

I got the Platinum trophy for My Name Is Mayo. Easiest plat in the history of Playstation, you could argue, but, a fun game, nevertheless.

Latest platinum I earned: Star Wars Battlefront 2 ( enjoyed most of it but the grind to rank 50 was no fun!). Plat #47
Since then got 4 more but all underserved.
Day of the tentacle - using a guide - about 4/5hours.
Erica - played first run blind then a guide to find all other trophies. 6 runs over 4 days. Probably <10 hours
Then bought a couple: Jack n jill dx & inksposion. Both v cheap in recent sale and on a list I found of easiest ps4 plats.
Then completed a few runs of last of us remastered but can't bring myself to go for the online trophies - not really my cup of tea.

I managed to 100% Jak and Daxter 1 on Vita but a glitch meant I need to make a new file and go up to roughly halfway through the game to get the last trophy. Who in their right mind makes a minigame you can only play once?

@RogerRoger
Yes got it on plus. Not sure exactly but probably in the region of 30-40 hours total. I had everything done except reach rank 50 by the time I was rank 30 or so. So me and some friends just went into grind mode on double/triple xp day's. Considering I don't usually play online shooters I did get more enjoyment than I expected (mainly because I got to be Vader) but was glad to get done and move on

I got the platinum in Othercide.

@RogerRoger 113 I think.

edit: 114.

I got the platinum in Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

@johncalmc Lord, you don’t mess about do you? That’s two huge games to get the platinum and I’m stuck bloody replaying half of Jak and Daxter to get a bugged trophy to pop!

@nessisonett It's a bit misleading really because I was nearly finished the Odyssey platinum when Ghost came out and ordinarily I would finish one before the next one but I really fancied samurai action so I did Ghost and then went back to Odyssey and finished it off like a day later.

@johncalmc Is the Odyssey plat a ball ache that I hear it is?

@JohnnyShoulder Not really. The difficulty/time investment of this platinum is grossly overstated. I've heard people talking about how it takes like 150 hours or something. It blatantly doesn't. The Ubisoft thing keeps track of how long you've played the game and I got the platinum in 78 hours but I would say I wasted a lot of time here and there because I didn't really understand some of the things I was supposed to be doing.

I would say 65-80 hours probably. Maybe less if you blast it and follow a guide all the way and know what you're doing.

In terms of the requirements, you can do the whole thing on easy - which I'd recommend because the combat is all kinds of dreadful - and you don't actually need to do everything like you did on the Assassin's Creed Origins platinum. It's pretty forgiving.

Platinum #50 (which also coincides with 2000 silver trophy pops)

Watchdogs 2. It's a weird game, back loaded with great content. The first 15 hours are rubbish. The way ubi has their openworld games abilities gated means you play like Samus from metroid, except the map is flipping massive and you end up fast travelling everywhere with a lengthy loading screen. It's annoying more than fun initially.

The plat was great actually, very doable and no difficulty based Trophies.

@themcnoisy I was wondering if it picked up. I’m just wandering around the map and doing tiny missions that usually involve tapping L1 every couple of minutes. It’s pretty grim.

@nessisonett In hindsight you want to unlock the drone ASAP and get the cars extra jump ability. Otherwise you find an upgrade point on the map and there's no way to retrieve it, very frustrating. Also once you unlock the bombing abilities for the drone you can clear places with ease before moving in with the remote controlled car to plug into servers.

I would also jump into a few multiplayer games early doors and team up as you get big xp and although they are listed as hard or tough, are easier than the missions most of the time.

@themcnoisy Yeah, as soon as I saw the multiplayer trophies I aimed for them as soon as possible. Went into a mission where you have to steal a car, was sneaky all the way inside right up to the car and then my teammate waltzes in, starts shooting and gets us both killed. Teamwork.

That is the platinum for Ghosts of Tsushima done. The last three I would never got without a guide, but quite straight forward to do though.
