@Thrillho Nope! Think I had about 5 trophies left. Think I had done everything for all the endings, but wanted the ending I got to be 'my' ending, if that makes sense.
I had started Stray anyway and will probably play a few smaller games before jumping into anything major, but have no idea what that will be. Definitely will not be something open world.

@JohnnyShoulder Congrats on finally finishing it! I’ve been in a total rut since finishing Elden Ring to be honest, nothing’s grabbed me at all since. Mostly just been putting hours into roguelikes and Lego games as they’re mind-numbing.
Platinumed Spider-man after getting PS Plus extra. I’m sure everyone has played it already, but what a great game. The writing is superb, the story actually had a real heart. And of course the gameplay just felt great. I felt the side missions and collecting were too repetitive, and some villains were given short shrift, but I can’t wait to see them improved in the sequel. 9/10.
@RogerRoger I really don't think they'll take 1st party games down from the service. Of course nothing is guaranteed but that would be weird. The trophy list is rather reasonable (basically do all the optional stuff and then finish the game again on NG+ and hard difficulty) so I might go for it.
@nessisonett Cheers! Yeah I usually get like that after spending so much time in one game. People may not like this, but it has put me off playing Horizon FW and may jump straight to God Of War when it comes out, saving FW for early next year,

@Thrillho I did the Ranni ending, so the trophies for two of the other endings and the ones for obtaining the Legendary Armaments and Talismans.
I did everything to to get all the endings, I just chose not to get them lol. I didn't find the platforming too bad to reach the three fingers as I just jumped on all the messages. Don't think I died once getting to it.

Just finished Need for Speed: Payback on Series X. This was my first NFS game and I really liked it! It's heavily reminiscent of Forza Horizon in terms of delivering an open world racing experience and that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed it as I absolutely love Forza Horizon. The story was pretty decent as well, a lot of the story missions made it feel like I was playing a Fast & Furious game. They were definitely the highlights of the game.
Moreover, the way the game is structured is that you have five different kinds of races: race, runner, offroad, drag and drift. Race is your standard racing, runner is about getting away from the cops and ramming into them (like in the Burnout games), offroad is offroad racing, drag is driving to a certain point as fast as you can and drift is about getting as much drift points as you can within a certain time limit. My favourite kind was definitely runner as I loved driving away and ramming into vehicles. My least favourite was easily offroad as the offroad vehicles are so sensitive to any turn you make and so you would crash a lot during these races.
Another thing that could get annoying is having to constantly upgrade your vehicles before the next story mission. This aspect didn't matter that much with some race types, but with others it could make a huge difference. It doesn't help either that you need to come in first place in order to move on to the next story mission. So yeah, that made for some frustrating moments.
All in all though, this was a great game that I feel like not many people talk about. If you like the Forza Horizon series and are looking for a good entry point into Need for Speed, I'd say Payback is a good point to start. It definitely made me interested in checking out titles such as NFS Hot Pursuit and Burnout Paradise after really enjoying the runner races in Payback.
@colonelkilgore haha yeah same! I finally just bought it at normal price as I had run through my current games. Its a blast, once you get going it's hard to stop playing. addictive. I practically felt compelled to get the platinum
@grubsteak nice! I pretty much go for the plat on everything, so hopefully I’ll find the journey as enjoyable as you did. How would you rate the platinum-difficulty out of 10?
@colonelkilgore Its probably a 7/10. There's really no super difficult trophies, but you do have to master the game, and it requires multiple playthroughs. All really fun though, you'll enjoy it.
@RogerRoger No problem mate, thanks for reading! I am slowly starting to become a fan of racing games, including NFS. It's nice to be exploring a genre that I don't know much about.
I've also downloaded Most Wanted on Vita, which I'm super stoked to play since it's an open world racing game on a handheld device. I've also dug out my Vita collection and added WipEout 2048 as well as ModNation Racers: Road Trip to my backlog. Sadly, there aren't that many racing games on Vita and I've also looked through the digital PSP selection and it's fairly slim as well.
But yeah, the recent NFS games like Payback and Heat are good open world racing games for console. Definitely worth checking out.
