Do you go for games with easy plats or have you just been on a cleaning up spree of games you had already played? Combination of the two.

toxicitizen Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 For a short little side-scroller, it has a surprising amount of replay value. The way you can either recruit 3 bonus characters you can swap between on the fly or kill them to get abilities on the main guy, or just ignore them entirely and be seriously underpowered, makes for drastically different experiences. Especially since the levels are designed with branching paths that require certain abilities to access that you might or might not have depending on the choices you made. There's even a new game plus kinda mode where you replay the game minus the main character, who is now the final boss. The only aspect I didn't like was doing boss rush mode for the last achievement. God, I fucking hate boss rush modes lol. If it's so trivially easy that you can just power through it then it's fine but it's like... what's the point? And if it's an actual challenge then it just frustrates me. The boss fights are actually fun in the game but having to do them all back-to-back with super limited amounts of power ups and healing items (only two for the latter) is just arbitrary and annoying to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Oh man, I can't believe I forgot to post in here when I got Deathloop, that was my 100th plat. Death Stranding was #99. God I love that game. The Director's Cut wasn't just a whole lot of new content, but it gave some new context on one of the existing characters and I think might have been setting up a sequel. Definitely worth the $10 for the upgrade. Battlestar Galactica I already gushed about in the What Are You Currently Playing thread, but I loved it. Seasons After Fall I have complicated feelings about, those are in the Games You've Beat thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalCaveman Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 HELL YEAH!! The mercenaries and Village of Shadows were the toughest ones, VoS can be a pain, specially in later sections, and the Pt2 stages for the mercenaries are just annoying, ended up looking at a guide and even that one was "if you don't get these skills immediately, just restart". Got the last two achievements on a final playthrough on casual, kinda easy as I had all upgrades for Ethan, and keeping only two guns in my inventory meant a ton of room for healing items. Spoiler Urias with Chris was weird, I didn't know if I was doing enough damage or if using the targetting thing was OK, glad I looked that one up. Takes forever to kill with a knife though. Glad I pushed through on the mercenaries, the weapon you get from that stuff is pretty fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Finally got the Guardians of the Galaxy platinum. Truth be told it's not that hard to get but you want to be careful because if you miss a collectible you can't go back and get it via the chapter select because it resets your progress when you finish the chapter. I ended up having to replay the entire game to get the stuff I missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I followed a spoiler-free collectible guide from the beginning, and got the collectible trophy at the beginning of chapter 13 (I think? It might have been 14). I did have the trophy for unlocking all abilities glitch out on me, but was able to fix that by going back a few chapters via chapter select and re-buying the one it didn't count. Now I just need to finish the game, and get the one for Drax doing his special attack on a particular kind of enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Would y'all recommend doing chapter select before proceeding with the collectibles run? Like for Drax's specific move and Charged Shot trophy? I actually saw a video that explained elemental stuns count too, so there's an easy spot late game you can get the trophy.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Doesn't matter either way, chapter select doesn't overwrite your save, so you can do it any time without messing up your progress. *Edit - Related: And pro-tip about the Drax the Dismemberer trophy: Spoiler it isn't just a regular Call to Action attack, you have to get the enemy to low health and then wait for it to pin Drax down, and that's when the trigger will pop up.

Mister Jack Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Another note about the Drax the Dismemberer trophy Spoiler The Inquisitor must still have both of his arms for the move to be possible, so ignore all the prompts until he's down to low health and is pinning Drax.

Mister Jack Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Elden Ring platinum, baby! I accidentally locked myself out of a couple trophies during my first playthrough so I did a blazing fast NG+ run in about 10 hours to clean up the last few and get the final ending I was missing. I'm sure I'm not done with the game yet but it feels good to clear this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Holy shit, I thought ER took at least 3 playthroughs to plat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think it's just different endings so you can get away with one if you backup your save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yeah, like you say. Technically there's six endings but three of them are just variations on the standard ending. One of the endings locks you out of the other ones at about the 2/3 point and I didn't bother to make a backup save that early so I just ran through it all again. Also, when it comes to getting the legendary weapons, one of them is permanently missable if you progress too far so watch out for that.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Permanently missable as in you can't even get it on NG+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Nah I just mean during that playthrough. However if you do miss it you won't be able to get it again until you reach around the halfway point in NG+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Dark Souls Remastered, you have officially been platinumed. Now to put you away and probably never play you again because your younger brother has utterly surpassed you. Grinding for all the rare weapons, not to mention the sunlight covenant that requires 25 faith (who the hell levels faith?!) was a total slog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I finally got the rest of the Dark Souls III trophies. Powerpyx rates this one as being easier than Dark Souls Remastered but that's bullshit. This was one of the most grueling platinums I've ever gotten. Top 5 for sure. Not only is the game a lot harder than DS1, but even once you get used to it you are not only required to play the game three times to get all the rings but you also have to farm covenant items, some of which have drop rates of 1% or less. And you need thirty of the fucking things! PER COVENANT! I had to resort to joining a DS3 Discord to help me farm some of those items, but even then there are still a few where you have no choice but to grind out those 1% drop rates because the PVP scene is not nearly what it used to be. If I hadn't been so tantalizingly close to the platinum I never would have done it. It occurred to me that I don't have the platinum for the Demon's Souls Remake yet, but I really have to ask myself if I want to deal with the world tendency bullshit to get it. I hated that on the PS3 and I still hate it on the PS5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I want to get the Platinum on PS5, main thing is that my main character fucked up with the friend/enemy ring, doing PVP is a pain and farming black phantoms even more so, that's the biggest obstacle preventing me from going for plat on DS.
