Finally level 300! The trophy that put me over the line was ‘Merman’ in Black Flag. I don’t actually know what my first trophy was and have no idea how to check.
Apparently my first trophy was for earning 1 star in Special Ops in Modern Warfare 2. That makes sense, I created my account when I got my Dad’s old PS3. I wonder if there are any games I’m close enough to the platinum to go back for.
@RogerRoger The challenge maps are really annoying and not fun in the slightest if I'm honest. If I'd known how boring they'd be I wouldn't have bothered with the platinum, but by the time I got to them I'd already spent ages doing the Riddler things so I felt like I was past the point of no return.
While I'm here, I also got the platinum in Five Dates.
My first PS5 platinum (and 61st overall) with the joyous Astrobot. Had to look up a couple of the hidden ones but nothing taxing. Just have one add-on trophy to keep it at 100%, got to master the speed-runs which are a step up in difficulty. Next should be the sneaky second plat for the Remastered version of Spider-man.
@JohnnyShoulder I didn't notice a card to help so used the usual 'google it on my phone' method same as @Arugula. Funnily enough it lead me to a Push Square guide for the trophies. I can't say I've used the cards yet but can imagine they might come in handy for jumping to specific parts of a game.
Platinum #9 in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate! Spent about an hour crashing into lampposts but finally popped the last trophy. Great game, almost great platinum held back by the mother of all grinds.
@nessisonett That was the last trophy I had to get too. I must have spent several minutes going in circles around Trafalgar Square riding the kerbs. Ridiculous trophy especially for an 'Assassin' game.
@nessisonett@BearsEatBeets I just looked at the trophy list and I assume that’s the one for destroying 5000 objects with your carriage.
Trophies like that are ridiculous as they can be a pain to get even when you know about them from the start.
One of the Yakuza games (3?) has one for knocking over so many people in the street which is especially annoying as not every wandering NPC can be knocked over and the ones that can have to be hit at just the right angle to do it.
@Thrillho That's the one. Leaving aside the ridiculous number to achieve and how grindy that is if you don't see you have to do that until finishing the game, it's just so out of place for the game. Who on earth thought that driving a carriage around like you're in GTA smashing things up was a fitting idea for a game about sneaking around and hiding in plain sight.
Good game though despite some flaws. I liked playing as Evie way more than Jacob (hope I've remembered that right).
Has anyone attempted to platinum Hollow Knight? Started playing it when it went on PS Plus and really enjoy it as a game but it sounds like getting the platinum requires a ton of patience and talent, neither of which I've got.
@render It’s a nightmare because you need to complete the pantheons which see you fighting a number of the games bosses back to back. I think there’s four of them and I could only manage two.
The only trophies I didn’t get were that one and for getting 112% completion as you need to finish the pantheons as part of it.
Most of the others are achievable but some require lots of exploring (all mask shards, all grubs) and some are also difficult combat trophies (win all colosseum battles, defeat the Grimm troupe).
I loved the game so was happy to get the ones I did (I wish there had been one for doing the Path of Pain!) but the pantheons were beyond me.
