Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

So, a bit bummed out. Planned on getting the Dying Light plat by close of play today but still needing the Homo Homini Lupis Est trophy. It’s a particularly annoying bronze that you can only get by completing a particularly rare event 15 times. I still need another 4 🤬

Platinum 101 for me was Assault Suit Leynos this morning. Fun little mech game, was a nice challenge. Trophy list is pretty much entirely skill based which is always nice.

@JapaneseSonic
Think I'd probably feel a bit ripped off if I could plat a game that quickly. Unless there's lots more replay value beyond the trophies.

@colonelkilgore
Unlucky man, it is a pain when stuff like that happens.

@colonelkilgore Ha, don't worry about devaluing my thoughts or anything but the completion list is just so extensive.

I've just finished with Y5 and after 128hrs have 55% "completion"!! (I think all of those continues and health items were from the super hard optional boss, honest).

This shows you just how much stuff there is. It's really weirdly weighted towards making weapons and gear, plus you have eating/drinking everything off every menu, and then all of the actual mini-games too.

Best of luck to you if you do go for it!

@Thrillho cheers bud, yeah I have to be honest that 200+ hours is kinda where I draw the line (& 55% @ 128 hours would seem to imply that). I just have way too many games in my backlog to devote 200+ hours.

Like I said though, I'll start the series and play towards the plat and judge it as I go.

Plat #36: Dying Light done. Really good fun, playable, well produced, great in single and multi-player (still even though it’s like 6 years old), decent skills progression... just well worth a look if you haven’t previously.

So looks like Remnant from the Ashes is available on PS+ next month. There are a few co-op requirements for the plat, so if anyone is interested I'll be up for some co-op. I'm booked for March but gonna play it April.

I spent probably about an hour trying to get the 'Overdesign II' trophy in AC Valhalla this morning. Anyone done this and maybe have any idea what I'm missing?
Trophy description (While on fire during a fight, kill 3 hard difficulty soildiers without breaking their shields)

@BearsEatBeets it is ‘apparently’ notoriously glitchy. A lot of people seem to be suggesting killing 5+ hard enemies during a combat sequence (even though it should only take 3).

Many people seem to point towards this particular video guide:

@colonelkilgore I watched something similar and it's pretty much the method I tried but appreciate the link. I've since read a few more things to try which aren't in anyway in the trophy description. One is a few more kills as you mention, another involves making sure to extinguish yourself in-between kills and the other travelling to another town and doing it to one more shield enemy nearby. I'll try them all tomorrow but it seems pretty ridiculous, whoever came up with this trophy needs a slap!

I bought the Instant Indie Collection Vol. 5 for 1.44€ (!!) and I got a couple plats from it.

#301 The Little Acre - A (very) small and forgettable point & click, not really bad but way too short and easy. I'm talking about a 1-2 hour platinum.

#302 Human Fall Flat - A very interesting game based on physics, I really liked it and there's a lot of free DLC available. Plus the trophy list is really fun.

Third game was Manual Samuel, but it was just dumb and not interesting, I deleted it.

UPDATE :

#303 ArtPulse - I bought this VR experience for 1€ and I thought, why not ? It's like a VR drawing experience where you combine shapes and colors, it's nice and relaxing but it's not a game. I have no idea why there's a platinum trophy in it but it's achievable in 15 minutes. Fastest plat ever !

Platinum no.3 Days Gone Finally!! Over the moon with this one, not particularly hard just long and grind I've played for 67 hours to the plat.

@MaulTsir nice dude, how do you feel about it post-plat?

@MaulTsir Really enjoyed getting that one myself and really enjoyed the game in general.

It's annoying that it doesn't show as 100% on the main trophy screen as well due to it having the survival mode, challenge mode and new game+ trophies. Has anyone bothered tidying those ones up? They look like too much effort!

I'm one trophy away from getting the platinum on Spider-Man Remastered, just need to get all the suites which I require more challenge tokens for. Some of those can be a bit of a chore but I think there's some in the DLC packs which are easier to get than trying to max out the ones in the main game.

@colonelkilgore cheers mate, I feel.....relieved 🤣 I'm glad I did it, feel like I got to experience more of the game, there was a couple of grind ones but every trophy was accessible in 1 playthrough which to me makes alot more sense I feel like I've achieved what the game has to offer rather then just wasting hours chasing trophies that have nothing to do with the game or forcing you to play more than once.

It's only my 3rd platinum and it was on a pretty big game so overall I feel good 🤣

@MaulTsir yup, I feel relief after pretty much every plat. The thought that after all those hours you could stumble onto some unheard of glitch a trophy or two away has always filled me with angst.

I'm one item away (out of around 200 overall items) from popping a gold trophy on Immortal: Unchained (a bloody difficult indie souls-like with guns), which in turn would pop the plat. Its been like that for around three years, every now and then I boot it up and hope I might get that last drop but no dice. It hangs over me on a daily basis to this day!

@colonelkilgore ouch 3 years! That's some dedication, I had a trophy on days gone that took me days to pop and I felt like giving up 🤣 I hope you manage to get it

Got #94 over the weekend playing Wreckfest. Perfect weekend game, 100% streamed the entire thing through PS Now and didn't have one hiccup. The streaming quality has definetly been improving steadily, hope we get it on phones/tablets soon!

Platinum #25, Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution.

This has been a lonooong time coming. So this is a re-release of Legacy of the Duelist with added content, that I 100% as well last year.
The original however did not come with a platinum, despite having the exact same trophy list (word for word) bar 1. I found this out after already committing over 100 & achieving 90+% of the trophy’s (I never checked if it did have a platinum...).

Well I finally got the platinum for this game.

Got my first trophy on the 18th May 2016, got the platinum on 9th March 2021.
Unbelievable.

Also PSN has the platinum for this game at 90 hours. No way is that right. It’s probably closer to 150 hours.

@Fight_Teza_Fight
150 hours spread over five years isnt a massive average.
Good work though, I admire the commitment.

@RogerRoger Thanks! I usually download from ps now but didn't feel like doing the storage management dance so figured may as well just stream it. Was indistinguishable from have it installed, Streaming is def. going to be a huge part of gaming moving forward.
