@Keith_Zissou I’m probably not even halfway through HFW’s platinum yet bud… and it’s just one of those games that I want to see through before I get sidetracked. It’s just getting better, the further I get too.
What with the performance issues that Elden Ring is sporting atm, I think it’s gonna work out well for me. I’m hoping that a patch or two by the time I start it may produce a solid 60 fps. Having said all this though, I’m fighting an almighty urge to abandon my plans and just get my Miyazaki on!
@Keith_Zissou I'm doing cleanup after finishing the story. A lot of stuff to do as with all open-worlders but seeing the end now. As for the game, I think the story was very good and the gameplay really does hold up. Square Enix has a great IP they need to bring back. It's definitely great value for the price it goes for in the sales. I'm playing on PS5 and it is one of those games that warn that it might not play properly but the only trouble I had was when I went to continue the game from the menu early on it crashed 3 times in a row. Other than that it has been playing fine.

So I completed all the Dirt 5 races and now left with the grindy trophies. Ugh. Thankfully I was able to squeeze out the 30,000 point Gymkhana event. Now just two left — Getting up to level 50 (shouldn’t be a problem since I’m already 45), and the stupid 1000 miles (sitting at slightly over 500 now). I took the advice of this thread and tried one of the Playground courses designed to just let the car drive itself while you leave it alone — I rigged pressing the accelerator with some scotch tape 😅, but after I went and exercised for an hour and came back, my total mileage had only gone up by around 60 miles. 😣
I might need to find a different track that has a faster car, but still… I hate to leave my console running for 5-6 hours like that.

@velio84 Fortunately the one I tried using had curved (and maybe slightly banked) corners so the car would just grind along the edge and turn itself. In order to keep it that way it probably had to use the smaller and slower car, I guess. It would get up to about 70 mph on the straightaway before crash-turning through the corner, thus slowing to about 40 mph. Maybe I’ll search around to the one you’re referring to and see if I can rig the stick to turn in a smidge and see if it gets a higher average speed that way.
Either way, I reckon I’ll probably do it in a couple sessions rather than leaving it on all night. Something about that just freaks me out. 😂

@Th3solution It sounds like you used the same track as I did which did work but just took a bit of time. Apart from the gymkhana trophy that is the most frustrating one as I hate to think of the environmental impact of leaving a console on just for this. If the game was better generally then that would just come organically as I'd have wanted to keep on playing. Hopefully the GT7 platinum will be better in that regard.
Just finished the platinum in Horizon Forbidden West! A perfect trophy list that should be a blueprint for all openworld games to be honest. Such an amazing experience top to bottom and one I will probably go for 100% in game completion!
@render Thanks! Yeah lucked out, wife and kids were out of town the weekend it came out so was just me and Aloy for 2 days, that's when I got the bulk done. Sitting at a little under 60% game completion so still plenty to to do! Most of it came naturally just trying a little bit of everything, didn't even realize I was close to plat til yesterday when I finally looked over the list in depth. Great trophy collecting game
@velio84 48 hours in game, played on Normal difficulty. I figure the same, dabble in here and there to check off a couple boxes at a time. GT7 will def be my next obsession, thankfully the list looks actually doable without being a FIA level player lol! Can't wait til Friday!
@redd214@velio84
Congrats guys. Hope it lived up to the hype.
And @velio84 I reckon it's early enough in the year for you to do one of the others as well 🤔
As for me:
Platinum 109: Bastion (PS4)
Didn't think it was all it was cracked up to be. The 10 idol challenges were pretty challenging though.
