@Sorteddan well done dude, I should get there around 16:45 on the 16th of May, 2023 šŸ˜‰ (82 platsā€¦ though I jest of course) ā€¦ sounds like Iā€™ll probably have to do two playthroughs when I get to Hellblade too then, I hardly ever manage to find all the collectibles as I play it through first time.

@RogerRoger @colonelkilgore
Thanks guys but you know how it goes... the last platinum is never as good as the next one!

And yes it is a bit mean spirited, unless you want to spoil the first run by using a guide - but fairly quick to run through again on easy once you know all puzzle solutions.

Congrats to you to Rog on completing your Shenmue odyssey - not sure I could've managed that.

And Colonel, I have seen instances of your rota scheduling and planning before but jeez!

@colonelkilgore Great one for #50!

@Th3solution yeah I wanted a ā€˜specialā€™ game to be #50ā€¦ looks like that schedule of mine is working out šŸ˜‰

Platinum #51 - A Plague Tale: Innocence - I donā€™t play a great deal of indies and thatā€™s my badā€¦ gonna make a point of cycling at least a few in per year, having enjoyed this game so much.

If anyone is gonna try and platinum this though, the crafting trophies can be a pain if you donā€™t craft everything within your first playthrough. There is a Chapter select post game, which helps with collectiblesā€¦ not a massive help with crafting materials though as I found out to my detriment.

@colonelkilgore congrats! That sucks about the crafting. I wonder if itā€™s even possible to craft it all in the first run. Any advice other than just try to search out every scrap of leather? Iā€™m about to boot up the PS5 version

@Th3solution cheers sol... it's definitely possible, I just went a bit 'Luminosa-happy' during the middle section of the game and was struggling for leather by the end as a result. I still got within one leather of doing it though, so just search every possible alcove and alley and you should be fine. Also, you don't have to level-up the alchemy for the crafting trophies, so just concentrate on your sling and 'equipment'.

@colonelkilgore Okay, thanks! Iā€™ve been a bit obsessive to this point, so I canā€™t have missed many pick-ups.

The PS5 version plays nicely by the way. Itā€™s much prettier (which I thought the PS4 version looked fabulous on its own) and mercifully that initial load time is cut down by at least half if not 70%.
The dozen or so trophies I already had did pop on the notification screen one after another as soon as I opening up the old save, but strangely only 2 of the trophies showed up on the actual list. I think this is a standard random thing when these Ps5 trophy lists auto-pop and the list will populate soon enough? Anyone have experience with this?

@Th3solution no worries. Nice to know Team Asobo made decent use of the PS5. I'll definitely be playing that version at some point.

About auto-pop PS5 trophies... it can be hit and miss. I recently auto-popped Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and FFVIIR as although I enjoyed them on PS4 I didn't fancy playing through them again. FFVIIR popped just fine but SWJFO was very temperamental.

@colonelkilgore @Th3solution I'm pretty sure I did all the crafting in my first playthrough, with only some of the collectables left which I got using chapter select.

I was exploring every knock and cranny for materials though, and didn't craft much of the two resource heavy items.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah it's definitely do-able... I just didn't pay attention to the mats needed for Luminosa. As soon as I realised the cost on leather I refrained from it

I forgot to say that Ghost of Tsushima gave me platinum #35 and my 8th of the year!

Thrillho

Thrillho

@colonelkilgore Yeah, it was only the "cosplay" one that I had to go out of my way to do. Oh, and I needed to find a few more of the random bowing signs to get that one too.

Thrillho

colonelkilgore

@Thrillho yeah it was just those bowing signs that I completely missed too really... it was quite a nice send off to the game riding around to get them done though.

Plat #52 - Tekken 7 - havenā€™t played a fighting game since Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast but fancied playing one after smashing Baki and Kengan Ashura on Netflix. Was okay but itā€™s just not my genre if Iā€™m honest.

And there pops platinum #36 for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

Quite easy as trophies go and the activity cards make the collectibles even easier, I just had to look up a couple of the CraiggerBear locations. The weapon specific ones were fairly easy and just about all the others popped from playing the game.

I'm a big fan of the name of the trophy for completing the game though: 2 Fuzz 2 Nefarious

@RogerRoger I never listen to anything at volume 13, mostly radio, and itā€™s the silliest thing ever. Strange, the things we do.

@RogerRoger nice Rog, did you find the speed at which you move through the levels significantly slow down once you got into Silver+2 (the 400ā€™s)?

Oh, and congrats on the Rift Apart plat @Thrillho
