Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Gremio108 couldn’t agree more. One of the few plats I have and I enjoyed every minute of earning it. The recent announcement of the sequel was a pleasant surprise.

@Gremio108 @Jimmer-jammer although I love souls-likes, Salt & Sanctuary is never one that I’ve considered (due to it being 2D more than anything else I guess). Any idea on the time it took you guys to plat?

@colonelkilgore Hopefully @Gremio108 fresher play through can provide a more accurate plat time but for what it’s worth, my cob-webbed memory says a solid 25 hours.

@Jimmer-jammer hmm, I am making an effort to play more indies… and 25 hours sounds doable.

@colonelkilgore @Jimmer-jammer 29 hours, 27 minutes and 16 seconds, according to the in-game clock.

It's very much a Souls-like in every sense, but it also took me a surprisingly long time to get around to playing it. Glad I did.

@Gremio108 cheers buddy, I’ll keep an eye out for it going on sale and I’ll pick it up. 👍

@RogerRoger Had to double-check, but that's apparently number fifty-three. I was surprised to discover it was the seventh one this year, along with Detroit, Remnant from the Ashes, Concrete Genie, GTA III, We Were Here and Dirt 5. Bit of a mix there!

I got the Platinum in A Plague Tale and in I Saw Black Clouds.

@RogerRoger Cheers. I think it started towards the end of the PS3 era; I decided to make a conscious effort to never follow up a game with something too similar, unless I'm really feeling it. Keeps it fresh, you know?

Normally I like to mix up the games that I play, but there are the odd occasions where I’ll move straight on to a similar game or sequel. The Tomb Raider games, for example. I finished Rise of the Tomb Raider and moved straight on to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I still really liked Shadow, but maybe I would of enjoyed it more if I took a break between games, who knows. 🤷

If I play Mass Effect then I'm playing 2 and 3 immediately after. But if I'm playing Assassin's Creed Whatever I'm giving it a solid year before I play the next one. Depends what it is, really, but in most cases I like to play different types of thing so I don't overload on one style of game.

FINALLY finished up Sackboy Adventure for #98! That last trial is the closest I've come to throwing a controller in a very very long time lol! Happy to be done with it but definitely killed all joy for the game

@Kidfried @johncalmc Exactly. Come to think of it, I reckon it might have been playing three Assassin's Creed games in a row which caused me to make that gaming lifestyle choice

@redd214 Ha, I've unlocked about ten of the trials and they're starting to get tricky. Definitely dreading the final one

@Gremio108 yeah it's pretty maddening for sure, took me all weekend to do that one damn trophy lol. Hope you have a better run at it than I did!!

@johncalmc @redd214 nice!

I'm making good pace in Mortal Kombat X. It is not too bad actually, the trophy requirement that is, not as difficult or grindy as I thought.
I'm gonna have to buy the XL upgrade if I want to 100% it, which I will. Next time it goes on sale.

Platinum #53 - Doom 2016 - to echo everyone who recommended it, a great game! I don’t even particularly like First Person Shooters but I had a whale of a time… and it is sad-times that we’ve lost these developers to being exclusively xbox from now on as they are extremely talented.

Oh and @Sorteddan, yup playing that first mission on Ultra-nightmare lived up to its billing!

@colonelkilgore Congrats, brother! It is a great game. Figure you’ll roll on with Eternal?

Thanks @Th3solution nah, that’ll be a great game to look forward to I reckon… drop it in if all of my more ‘regular’ genres are feeling a bit stale. Might get the Eternal online segment done though, so there are no worries finding matches etc.

@RogerRoger @Thrillho @JohnnyShoulder @nessisonett out of curiosity, I checked my PSN level prior to and immediately after popping the Doom plat just to ‘calibrate’ the actual shunt it provides when in the low 300’s.

I was Level 328 & 71% prior to popping the last trophy (which was a bronze). Then once that and subsequently the platinum popped I was Level 329 and 6%. So on the low 300 scale a bronze and a platinum together are worth 35%, so the platinum alone is roughly 30-34%.
