Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@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.

@JohnnyShoulder What do you reckon your total game time is?

@JohnnyShoulder

Think it's going to be quite a few weeks until I get to it at my pace.

@Th3solution I've been using that ps4 tracker, and it says just under 135 hours. I will proudly claim the official Forum Slowest Gamer Award!

@JohnnyShoulder I think I already have that notable distinction.

@Th3solution Well let's see if you can 'beat' my play time then!

@JohnnyShoulder Well my slowness is more getting through a game slowly due to spread out play sessions. My in game time is usually on par with the average. Or maybe slightly above average. I figure I’ve put in 20-ish hours into GoT and the games been out 3 weeks 😅

@Th3solution Yeah I'm on about the actual time you have played the game rather than how long it is taking you to play it. I like to explore and pick up everything in a bandit camp for example. I was even doing that even when I didn't need to, as I had upgraded everything and had loads of all the stuff.

I got the platinum in New Super Lucky's Tale.

@johncalmc There was some neat additional challenges in there. I particularly like the cross a maze without hitting any switches one.

And that’s Watch Dogs 2 finished up for my 5th platinum. Kinda sad the season pass wasn’t included on Now, I really did love it and I would happily play more.

@nessisonett Do you think you will go back to DSR or DS3 & get a platinum for either of those?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Lord no, I have 1 and 3 on PC and I don’t have the patience to get the platinum anyway. Too much grunt work.

@RogerRoger I’m just really bad at finishing off games for that platinum hahaha, mine are Persona 5 Dancing, MLB The Show 20, Control, Star Wars Jedi and now Watch Dogs 2. I only started properly going for the platinum this year. I also have one trophy left in Jak and Daxter that bugged out my first playthrough so I have to do a whole other playthrough just to get it!

@RogerRoger I still remember my first platinum too... she was a sweet little game named “PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale.”
Ah, the memories...
