Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@RogerRoger Man, you must be LOVING the game (I still have your review to read) to have played the game, DLC, and then go straight back in to do it all again! Certainly getting your moneys worth at the current price

@RogerRoger Not sure if you are aware but you didn't need to complete the game on Ultimate difficulty to get the platinum, just complete the game on normal, do all the side quests, collect all the stuff etc.

Well done btw!

@RogerRoger the DLC is on sale still I believe. Doesn't add a lot of new stuff and the screwball challenges for the trophies can be a pain but does have some good story beats. Still need to do my Ultimate play through to get back to 100%

Decided after Detroit to finally whittle away at my backlog.

Puyo Puyo Tetris - Won my first online duel against the 400th rated player in the world! No idea how, I had been practicing the Puyo challenges to pop 100,000 puyos and I got way better at that side. The opponent was a tetris master but my Puyo popping skills helped me out when it swapped between the two. Such a great feeling as its only experts playing online.

Sonic Mania - Picked up the Mean bean machine trophy.

Kentucky Route Zero @RogerRoger @kyleforrester87 @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @Neolit @Quintumply @Th3solution @carlos82 @crimsontadpoles @get2sammyb I think you would all like it but its really not for me. Completed chapter 1 and have 5 Trophies altogether decided to bin it. Far to out there my tiny brain can't comprehend what's going on. Maybe if one of you play it, I would actually understand what's happening. The various writing techniques are stunning so it's why I have included you guys in the comment as it's the furthest left field game I have ever played.

Goat Simulator - Great game for trophy hunters, snagged 12 or so Trophies last night and will be back on tonight for sure.

@themcnoisy I thought you had wildly misspelled Katana Zero then!

Are you picking up Streets of Rage 4 by the way? Fancy a play through at some point?

@themcnoisy I'd like to play Kentucky Route Zero at some point, but waiting for a sale.

@themcnoisy I loved KR0 and have started a write up on it a couple of times but it’s a pretty hard one to talk about.

Still one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had in a long time! Sadly, the trophies were utterly borked though so I don’t have half of them from completing chapters.

@kyleforrester87 definitely, when is it due out? Don't want to spend any money right now as waiting on furlough (expected on or before the 30th) once that's secured I will grab SoF3 and PS Now!

@Thrillho I realised it wasn't my cup of tea over 3 attempts. I dislike obsurdism, if you ever met me / gamed with me you would presume I would like it. But I don't, there needs to be a recurring sense of place or logic - The sections of KR0 I played, and I'm 20% done are odd. The characters are odd and your dog wearing a hat etc. Glad I gave it a go though, although the graphics are bad and it's a text adventure - the way they have really expanded on the elements is brilliant. If this was a straighter story I would be engaged like the fans of the game. But it wasn't fun for me. Started chapter 2 and when it was asking my character wherever we were inside or out, I couldn't be bothered contemplating what it meant philosophically (especially after the art section). When it then offered me the option to ask the receptionist, I turned the game off. I'm inside damn it!

@RogerRoger @get2sammyb good luck lads. As you are both brilliant writers I think it would click with you both for sure!

@themcnoisy Due out on Thursday! Tbh it's (appropriately) punchy at £25 but I will grab it. It's absolutely the sort of game you'll want to play through a few times so whenever you get it let me know.

@kyleforrester87 On Thursday if all goes well

@themcnoisy That place is clearly outside 🙄

@Thrillho Oh, well there you go. It weeded me out and laughed in my face. I took the defeat and ran away / uninstalled it.

@themcnoisy Now my interest is piqued! If backlogs were oceans, then mine would be the Atlantic, so hopefully in due time I’ll give it a go. Every now and then I do get a craving for a game that is crazy and obscure, and Kentucky Route Zero sounds like it would fit the bill. And easy trophies to boot! Even better.

@Th3solution the Trophies aren't necessarily easy. By the looks of the trophy count its either really hard or bugged. 0.1% plat rate on a text game. :/

I'm currently at 23 Trophies for goat simulator in approximately 6 hours messing around. The upcoming ones are mainly collectibles other than that damn flappy goat minigame, crazy hard, hit 6 score and having attempted that trophy for an hour straight (you need 10) mashing triangle and looking at the trophy log - the rarest trophy in an otherwise straight forward platinum. Hopefully it's not my @Matroska FF7 remake moment in this game. There's a smudge of latency and you need pixel perfect judgement, how annoying!

@themcnoisy I’m joking as it’s sort of neither but both. A perfect encapsulation of the game really!

@Th3solution Kentucky Route Zero is not especially easy for trophies, although it looks like the game was patched yesterday for the glitch. One does require you to replay a chapter and there are a few missable ones. It’s not a game you’d want to use a guide to pick them up either.

But someone else needs to play it so I can talk about it with them!

@themcnoisy I'm trying that bloody minigame again now. I just posted this in the FF thread, this is my heart rate after a few attempts. 😫

Edit: Just did it at last! What a weight off my shoulders.

Finally finished up Dirt Rally 2.0 for Plat 82! Looking forward to whatever they announce next!

@redd214 Damn, how did you manage to get that daily challenge trophy in the Audi Quattro? I can't get close!

@Gremio108 lots and lots of practice. That car is an absolute animal to control and is much different than pretty much all other cars in the game, at times it almost feels broken lol. Use it as much as you can to unlock the upgrades and to get a feel for it as its a very fast/twitchy vehicle.

Also since its a one shot deal its tough to know what course you will be going on since it doesnt show in game. If you go to the site linked below it will tell you what track the challenge is on and I suggest running some time trials to get a feel for it before you try since you only get one chance.
