@WCB okay thanks mate. Good luck with finishing off those backlog plats. A lot of good games tbh… Sleeping Dogs is a personal fave.
@Cornaboyzzz nice work bud. As an FF-noob I found Hard Mode on FFVII Remake quite the challenge. There’s a VR boss rush trophy that was… well I shiver just remembering it 😬. Good luck when you circle back to it.
@Keith_Zissou not sure mate, I’d imagine that it only becomes more difficult. The reason for this is, that in order to boost your score enough to score a gold rank, you not only have to play each mission on Survivor (of which you have to do a full playthrough anyway for the plat) but you also need to handicap yourself using cards that can be acquired ie *All enemies have double armour (which boosts your score by 100%) or *Lara can not heal herself during the mission (which I think is also a 100% boost).
I’d like to have both it and Yakuza Kiwami out of the way by Horizon Forbidden West if possible, as if I move on to something of that scale I may never go back if you know what I mean.
@Sorteddan As we speak a rubber band is driving me towards the Dirt 5 platinum 😆
@colonelkilgore After the conversation about Day Of The Tentacle yesterday I booted it up last night for a quick go as I haven't played it since my PC days. It looks pretty good with it being remastered and I like that you can hit the touchpad to switch it back to pre-remastered graphics. It'd be pretty easy for me to breeze through it being as I pretty much remember the solution to everything as soon as I see / talk to someone 😎
@render yeah I tried the ‘classic’ look for a while, it still has its own charm in fairness… was cool to play that even older Lucas Arts game hidden within Day of the Tentacle too, Maniac Mansion was it?
@colonelkilgore Yeah that was a great addition and even at the time looked dated, so I bet looks even more out of date now.
Maniac Mansion was actually the game that kickstarted the game engine that all the point and click LucasArts games use - SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion). I had to lookup what the SCU part was but remember the acronym from running ScummVM, like a virtual machine for the SCUMM engine, on an old Mac laptop. It did a good job and ran pretty much all the LucasArts stuff plus loads of additional titles like Broken Sword and Discworld. I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of what's running DoTT on PS.
@render I actually remember it releasing (well I read it’s review in CVG) and being quite jealous of PC owners back in the late eighties… but as an avid arcade player back then I chose the console direction by buying a megadrive. It’s mad how the two very diverse markets have slowly but surely become congruent since then.
@Keith_Zissou sadly not, your gear going in is in context with the game narrative… so for instance you first get to wield the shotty when you eventually get it in the story.
It’s pretty tough… and I do think the game is asking a lot after the hours most people would put into to 100% the game on Survivor… but it’s pretty fun too. You basically have to play the game like Legolas living his best life taking down olyphaunts single-handedly 🤣
@colonelkilgore I already tried a few challenges from Shinra Combat Simulator on hard difficulty, it gave me a pretty good idea on what to expect. It's not gonna be easy !
@WCB I plan on doing all those that have been added to PS Now recently, so from VII to XII. And since they are pretty old, I haven't played them for 10-15 years at least, so it's a blast !
@Cornaboyzzz oh I have no doubt a Trophy vet of your calibre will get through it… just passing on my experience is all. As I said before (although I’m sure you won’t need it) good luck bud.
I'm considering going for the Uncharted 4 (and Lost Legacy) Platinum but the online trophies put me off... Has anyone else done it recently? I was going to do it on the Legacy Collection because it didn't have them but I've just seen there's only one Platinum.
@ScarletSpidey I did it back in 2017, so not recently, but remember it wasn't too bad getting the multiplayer trophies for the platinum. They did take a bit of time but there was a thriving community of people playing it then so I was easily able to team up with randoms. I did try and go for the additional online trophies (which don't count towards the plat) Crushing and ...It but I was having difficulty with them and read that they had actually patched out a few things that made them easier.
It's a shame there's only one platinum for the new collection though but I guess with the lack of multiplayer then at least they will have got rid of those trophies requiring it.
Platinum #74 - Rise of the Tomb Raider - great game, I thoroughly enjoyed pretty much everything about it in fairness. Great story, setting etc. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere in this thread though the trophies attached to the Score Attack are a bit of a pain… but it does challenge you to play differently (sprinting full pelt through a mission, not taking damage and chaining actions to maintain a multiplyer), which was refreshing to be fair.
@Keith_Zissou don’t let me put you off taking on the Score Attack mate, after pumping in a decent amount of hours into it I know exactly how to tackle these now. Just message me on PSN and I’ll pass on the info 👍.
@colonelkilgore Nice work and fair play to you. I tapped out on Rise once I hit those score attack trophies. I think I just couldn't face playing the same bits again and again but having now played some roguelikes perhaps I'd be ok with those 🤔
@render well just like with @Keith_Zissou feel free to get in touch if you want any advice on how to expedite the process. Probably took me 15-20 hours (for the Score Attack trophies) but reckon I could’ve done it in under 10 if I knew then what I know now.
@velio84
Well if you've done with the game like I had by that point, the quickest way to get to 50 is find the sprint race where you only have to do 3 laps in the snow (somewhere in the red bit) and play it over and over - only takes about a minute and up to 300+ xp depending on the car you use
