@Keith_Zissou oh congrats on that Death Stranding plat!

Congrats to @WCB, nice work on clearing out that backlog 👍

@colonelkilgore thanks

@Keith_Zissou Congratulatons on the Death Stranding Plat! One day it will be mine. Ha!

81 runs to complete the game, about 78 hours altogether!

@Thrillho
Excellent work, well done!

@Thrillho Amazing accolade and massive congrats!

Having loved the game myself, albeit I played on Switch, I can imagine that this Plat didn't feel too much of a chore?

Hades was a joy to play, put in 40-50 hours and loved every second. IMO it was robbed for GOTY in 2020!

@Thrillho Great work 👍. That’s not a bad number of runs, sure mine is easily over 100 and wouldn’t like to think how many hours I put in.

@RogerRoger @CJD87 @Sorteddan Thanks all.

It’s slightly weird as I don’t know where all that time went as successful runs take about 30-40 mins and there were quite a few unsuccessful ones early on especially!

I really enjoyed the game loop and, as I’d been saying in the game thread, you unlock weapons and traits at a steady pace and the game does a good job of making each run feel different and without ever making you feel like you were onto a loser from the start like in similar games.

There’s a surprising amount of story to help keep it interesting but the RNG of triggering dialogue to move things on can be annoying.

The platinum wasn’t too bad if you mixed up using the keepsake items early on as maxing those out takes a lot of runs. And then the high difficulty runs I did fairly easily at the end to get the all important plat-ping.

@render thanks to you too! (you snuck in there while I was writing that post out)

@RogerRoger thanks

@Thrillho very nice! I also have it on Switch so that plat must feel real sweat. Great game.

Dayum @Keith_Zissou! I’m gonna have to up my game. Well done sir!

@Keith_Zissou I'm on the last mission of Chapter 3, though might make a detour to the Collector to get the backpack cover. (I hope that's not a spoiler? I don't know how to do the spoiler tags. Sorry!) I only get to play a couple of hours a week so I'll be on this for ages.

@Thrillho I missed this one it seems, congrats bud… it takes a good chunk of time and a fair amount of skill from what I gather, so well done.

@Keith_Zissou
One hell of a week. Congrats. Played Concrete Genie and The Last Campfire myself and remember being charmed by both, although I thought the last part of CG didn't really fit with the rest of the game. Haven't heard of sagebrush but I'd take slightly dull for a couple of hours for a platinum. I have to do slightly dull for many hours to make a living!
And good luck with REVillage, may be a slight change of atmosphere compared to those!!! Gaming is great, isn't it.

...And while I'm here. Platinum number 108 just earned for a game that yesterday I didn't know existed. Bunny Raiders (PS5). Was in voice chat with a mate, he was looking at the free to play section of the store and said 'oh, there's one you might like'. He was wrong, it's pretty much jenk!

Though simple enough twin stick rogue like structure with little to recommend it aside from the speed and ease of getting all trophies -got the first at 13:8pm an the last at 15:29pm. And the game is only around 400MB so if you cut out the making coffee and standing in empty rooms waiting for health to regen then you could probably download and plat it in less than two hours... I wouldn't though, but I did - So what, it's my life.

@Keith_Zissou Congrats on those latest plats 👍. I played the last campfire with the kids and for someone who is generally immune to this stuff I found it quite an emotion ending. My daughter said “this music makes me feel so sad” and was sobbing her eyes out. I don’t think she understood what the game was trying to say but it obviously did it’s job regardless. A really nice little game though.

@Keith_Zissou concentrating on Horizon Forbidden West atm mate… and really enjoying it too. Then I think I’ll slip a wee palette cleanser in straight after to ward off any potential open-world fatigue from effecting even one iota of the enjoyment that I know I’ll get from Elden Ring.

@Keith_Zissou I’m gonna be just as envious reading everyone talking about their Elden Ring exploits in the coming days and weeks tbh.

Not entirely sure about what I’ll be slotting in between HFW and ER atm. I probably ‘should’ play God of War: Ascension as I really want to have the back-catalogue wrapped before Ragnarok but I’m thinking I’ll be better off picking something a bit more serene (like a Telltale, or a point-and-click etc.).

… and yeah Donut County is certainly daft… I did find it surprisingly satisfying in a kind of ‘bubble-wrap’ kinda way though. Congrats on its plat.

I'm currently trying to plat RE7, I finished the game back on release, but felt the urge to run it again. Currently doing Madhouse but getting burnt out playing Mia on the ship as the four legged mold can one shot you and I have no weapons minus the bombs.
