That's how I feel about "Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition". Got almost all the main game trophies, then there is the multiplayer. "Get to Level 60 in multiplayer".
Stage 9: Put it on the shelf and smile admiringly at it, take it to a Gamestop (or a GAME for you UK folks) or to eBay for selling or take a hammer to the disc.
Your missing the one stage “The Glitched Trophy” which a lot of games have, where it won’t unlock the trophy, preventing you from getting the Platinum!
Yeah, this issue should have been brought up at the 2nd to last stage. I have all but one for Toy Soldiers: War Chest and it was very difficult but once I found out it was glitched, it pushed me to give up. I think they've fixed it but I don't know that I want to try at this point. It was glitched for well over a year.
Getting a platinum in a hard game or long rpg is amazing but then you just get that feeling of being unsure what to do. Your entire gaming life for the past while has been about this one game and now that you've done it... you have a massive come down because you don't know how to move on properly. This is why I have so many plats in lego games and other things like them because I'll use them as a come down from big games. I just platinumed all 3 mass effect games in the Legendary Edition so when I was done I needed to move on so I just put in a lego game to finish quickly. Unfortunately this doesn't always work so I end up in a slump where I either don't play any games for a week or 2 (and for someone that basically stays at home all the time due to poor mental health that's not great) or I play pokemon or just casually read until I feel up for another session of gaming on my ps4
Me while looking at the trophy list: "That one's do able, hmm that's a bit harder but do-able. Oooh those are easy! I could get the plat on this!!" Me seeing the first online multiplayer trophy: "Ok. Not getting the plat on this"
Well usually I find a discord server to play with and then just ask that you wanted that specific trophy eventually some people will help if you help them
@@EndomouEnd forums for boosting that is. Just sign up to some forums where they do that. Easy enough. But all in all, I can relate, I look up if a game has online trophies first, that's the first thing, if it has, I skip the game entirely because I don't support online trophies.
I've never platinumed and game, and probably never will!...I have too much of a massive backlog of unplayed games to sink dozens and dozens of hours into a game to get the plat..Once I beat it...I'm DONE! lol
Stage 8: realize that the game you just spent tens to hundreds of hours in doesnt actually have a platinum after you acquire all the trophies. (Courtesy of ape escape 2 on ps4)
I'd say there's a bonus stage for some people and that's called obsession! You take notes on what you have left, you plan out game time for certain trophies, etc. That way you keep track of what you lack when you're away from your games 🤣
Stage 8: getting F'd in the A The feeling you get when you find out a trophy is bugged and it's the only thing keeping you from getting the platinum after putting in all that time and effort to get it.
That happened in FFX against Penance. I beat him and no trophy. Thankfully I saved beforehand and the game basically has a "pay to win" summon that can instantly kill ANY enemy if you pay him enough in game currency, so I didn't need to fight him legitimately again and got it after killing him a second time. But it definitely made me panic.
I recently earned the Platinum for persona 5 and this video spoke to my soul, passionate Listener and completing the persona catalog was really stressful, but 180 hours later seeing that platinum was so worth it
Missable trophies are the reason I never start playing a game that im going to platinum completely blind Heck i even read a whole guide online before even downloading the game. I might get spoiled but its worth the time that i save.
i always go through blind first play through is always the enjoyment then see whats left and whats needed, if its a miss able try that on the second on ones that need, or the clean up
I agree, missable trophies are a pain to deal with but you can follow a guide step by step instead of reading/watching everything before hand to not get any spoilers, I do that with jrpgs.
I’m definitely in the devastation stage of the Persona 5 Royal platinum. Love the game but there is a new missable trophy where you go to the jazz club and if you don’t level up akechi’s confidant then you can’t go to the jazz club. It took me until the epilogue to realize I was never getting in so now I have to start this 100+ hour long game all over. Thankfully it’s great so I will get there eventually but I have no motivation right now to restart. Some day though.
Access is KILLING it with content lately! Been watching all of the streams, Top 10s, FFs, and extras. Keeping my mind occupied 🤘 Had just finished Rosie's PlatiThursday, jumped into the live Rocket League stream, and now this
Big thanks to Rob and the rest of the Access team for still bringing us happy and entertaining content, even in these really tough times. I've loved and appreciated the Friday Features for a few years already, but seeing how much work and dedication is put into them during something as big as this brings that to an entire new level. Thank you Rob! Thank you Access team! Your work doesn't go unnoticed, and we wish you all good health! :)
In my history of playing games I've always been one to play on the most Normal or Medium difficulty possible as it gives me enough of a challenge to get through any game with no real frustration. However the idea of trophy hunting has made me play more games on hard, extreme, brutal whatever you want to call it and to a degree I feel like I'm a better gamer for it. There's a stage to trophy-hunting where I tend to look at the whole list, and see which ones I can obtain as a cluster, which ones I can go for and which ones I'll be saving for the end.
Personally I've been through all stages 5 times, and it was worth it for all the games I did it on. 1) Infamous: Second Son, 2) God of War (2018), 3) Control, 4) Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, 5) Assassin's Creed 2 Also I'm currently on the stage 6 for Skyrim, only 2 trophies left. The one mentioned in the video and the get your bounty to 2500 gold in each hold trophy.
Being a trophyhunter (134 platinums and +10.000 trophies) I agree with Rob most wholeheartedly. I could tell so many stories, fun and miserable. However one stage is missing "The Panic Sets in" when for some reason or another a trophy is glitched. Many people can relate to this, you did everything right and suddenly it doesn't pop. Most of the times some small group has the same problem and sometimes it's patched. Other times it means starting all over..again..losing everything you just worked for. And sometimes it's the final ending. Luckily my "Trophy fever" has calmed down the last years, but it still brings a big smile when that platinum trophy pops.
If there was a PS4 game enthusiast's Olympics, Rob Pearson would win Gold. Thank you Rob for the dedication, commitment and obvious painstaking effort you put into every video. Come on world, flipping Knight RP already. And Delsin. Definitely knight Delsin.
dont forget during stage 6 that annoying " online friend" that has done it and tells you its not THAT difficult "when you know what to do" . I ve buried him in my garden...
One thing, Stage Eight: The Climb Down. This stage is when you’ve done it, you’ve got your platinum and you begin the walk back down remembering the things that got you good, the things that made you throw controller across the room, the things that made you whooped for joy, and then you reach the bottom Platinum in hand.
This video summarized my personal drama in my Platinum quest of Final Fantasy VII Remake. When I encountered Pride and Joy and he whooped me and when I encountered Hell House on Hard, I was thinking about giving up. However, I persisted and yesterday I got my dear trophy, finishing this long journey that was 81 hours long.
this video is really fun and useful. My husband just got the Astro's Playroom Platinum on Sunday. It was super fun to watch him play all the way through that it made me want to go for my first ever platinum in Bugsnax. So far I'm doing ok though i can already tell some of the trophies are going to give me some moral problems. It feels wrong to feed Gramble a Bugsnak, since to him they are all his kin, and I can only imagine what his reaction is going to be....
My favorite platinums that I have are for the entire Sly Cooper series. Not because they’re difficult, but because I enjoyed the games enough that I didn’t get burned out on the games like I do for most other games I try to platinum.
I was on stage 6... taking a break from attempting to get the final trophy I needed for Shadow of Mordor, my white whale for this game was called "The White Rider"... but after I watched this I decided to give it another go, in just a couple of attempts (looked up a guide), I was finally triumphant, and finally earned my first PLATINUM!
Stage 8: get the platinum for a game on ps3, then they do a remastered version on ps4 and you think 'hmm I really liked that game, let's do it all again'.
I have all the Dark Souls trophies for PS4. Was considering doing it for the PS3 versions because they weren’t THAT hard (especially DS1). I would never ever do it again for DS3 though. Glad it’s not on PS3
2 more chapters on hard mode in ff7r and this sweet platinum is mine after 90hours, actually way easier than i thought at first. MP-management was also not as bad as people describe it, switching out materias before fights (elemental+fire/ice/lightning/air), using MP-refill from chests, prayer materia and using spells wisely and you‘re on the safe side.
I got through the gauntlet in Final Fantasy VII Remake without help, after 15 attempts my problem went from 'OK how do I deal with Round 4' to 'If he didn't go ham and I could just survive after that attack I'd have this in the bag' and eventually everything fell into place, like the game knew how hard I was trying and threw me a bone before I burst into tears of sorrow, like that episode of The Simpsons when Bart studied his hart out and still failed.
NamelessJudge I’m doing this trophy and I feel you. I couldn’t find Sam in the game so I had to reload a earlier save meaning I was back at level 14 and now I have to find all of them again . Luckily I just have to do 7 more of them until I get back to my level 31 save
@@gamingbetaprotrotype1152 I was doing the Stormcloak side of the war and since this is actually my first time playing Skyrim I didn't know about the Ebony Blade until after the Jarl of Whiterun was captured and by then I couldn't start the quest.
@@Mashew3030 there's a trick to that but it will take time , just look around on RU-vid on how to level up , you need a spell and a carcass of a crab near whiterun and keep casting on it untill you level up and just keep repeating it
First plat was Dishonored. Took me playing the game three times. Don’t regret it for a second. Such a good game. And I still cannot get the last trophy in Titanfall 2 where you need to finish “The Gauntlet” in the top 3.
One of the big reasons I don't have the Witcher 3 Plat was I missed a single Gwent card near beginning of the game. I know they added a new game plus mode, do you get to keep all your Gwent cards? I might jump back in and finish it.
My last platinum was FF VII R and I've been through all those stages, when I realised I missed a weapon, I was so upset! Then I realised that you could have replied each chapter separately after the end of the game... and then I was about to give up on the pull up trophy, and then I did it... and than I've spend 2 damn days on the Bahamut boss in hard mode, and after I was done with that all was on a downslope! And now I got it! And the pleasure of getting that platinum, give me the mad idea to go for the God of War platinum and that's the one I'm playing now!
I relate to this 100 percent because mhw in particular was bullshit when it came to the crown trophies. I didn’t end up plating the game due to that....sigh I just get mad thinking about it lool
@@NovaSniper12 I can relate to that took me over 300 hours to platinum that game and know im considering if i should continue with icebounre platinum that is like 300 mora hours luck base trophy are the worst
Hollow Knight.. took me 6 or 7 months to finally beat Absolute Radiance and get the plat.. it got to the point where I could get through the entire Pantheon of Hollownest without a single hit, until AbsRad.. beat me into submission for months.. then, finally, boom; nailed.. I literally couldn't believe it.. you also forgot, Rob, the last stage: a kind of grief that comes over you after you realize that you're completely finished with a great game and have to move on.. love Playstation Access, never change guys..
Go to any trophy leaderboard ranking website and you'll find huge lists of psn accounts with several hundred platinums, some have over 1,000. I'd never be able to get that many in 3 or 4 lifetimes!
Honestly, even though the Plat wasn't like the hardest thing in the world for FFVII: Remake. It has been a pure joy ride. Also, over 40% of all players have completed Chapter 18. That's honestly amazing. How often to you see a nice chunk % on the actual completion? It's GOTY so far for me.
My dad has just recently succumbed to psychosis, brought on by Parkinson's disease. I've always watched your Friday Features, Rob, but the 10 minute respite they offer is more appreciated than ever. Thank You.
After getting beat many times. I looked up. The best way to do it: is to mute all background music and voice sound. Use the sound effects as a rythym. So I did and it worked immediately, first try.
The last Trophy to my FFVII REMAKE's platinum: even the BAHAMUT (+IFRIT) fight and the Whispers bosses fights (che.18) in HARD DIFFICULTY were (a Little) less painful😥
I mean most games end up requiring two playthroughs anyway so I just end up playing the game how I want to sweeping any trophies I can get playing like me. Then on the second playthrough go through it with a walk through for a perfect run. Edit: I’ve gotten 90 platinums just so y’all know I’m not blowing wind
InsainRaven I’m usually am too lazy to play through a game again to get the platinum (unless it’s super short like cod modern warfare remake) so I only have 14
This video made me check my trophies...how the hell did I reach 27 Platinums?! I remember like 7? Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2 & 3 Remake, Dragon's Dogma, Crash Team Racing, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and Borderlands 3 (and not counting Telltale games)
I'm extremely late to the trophy game; I only just got a ps4 for Christmas, but I'm so happy to finally get to play everything I've missed out on over the past few years. About a month in, I started playing Spider-man, which was my first and so far only Platinum. It was such a nice feeling to see the Platinum pop after a week of powering through the game, and I couldn't have picked a more enjoyable game on which to earn it. I don't know what will be the next, but I'm excited to find out.
Got the Plat for God of War on the hardest difficulty. Beating Sigrun and the other Valkyries was likely one of my most satisfying experiences. Another would be the Brutal difficulty trophies for The Uncharted collection, I know they aren't necessary for the plat but I need to see 100% to be satisfied. That difficulty was not joke.
When you have to beat something that was made for the very best to get the trophy like being on the top of a ranked ladder or beating a game mode that's almost impossible to do unless you are literally a god.
In Killzone 2 there was a trophy for being in the top 1% of the weekly leaderboard. Unless you were willing to play for 16 hours a day for a whole week it was basically impossible.
I have almost 50 plats and I honestly just skip steps 1-3. If the game has a collectible trophy, I’m already using a guide (only for collectible trophies) and determined to get the plat.😂
Josh McCain Same. I usually check a quide for prettymuch every game I play just to see if there are any collectables and if they are missable or any of the trophies are missable
For Crash Team Racing, I played through on easy and then again on medium (15-20hrs). Then, online for miscellaneous trophies (15-20hrs again). Afterward, played through on hard (10hrs). Then realised I had to beat 3 time trials on 32 different tracks. 35 hours later, I still have to do all of the crystal challenges. Hardest platinum I’ve ever done, but my proudest
The only time I really ever wanted to get the platinum, was after I beat Skyrim my 1st time. I decided to take a stroll through the trophies I had already gotten and noticed I only lacked oblivion walker. A quick look online told me I only needed 3 more and I already had the quests for em. Hard to believe that was almost a decade ago.
Sliding Shot goal trophy in FIFA 14. God. Damn. It. Never got it, despite scoring a handful of sliding shot goals. Bloody hell. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
True to everything you just described. I am one trophy away from platinum in PES 2019. And two trophies for Batman Arkham Knight but I need a break from them. It is just too much. Maybe in some weeks I'll come back to finish the job.
Same, I'm stuck on Dead boy, The Lost and The Real Platinum God, good thing the game is so much fun that even after hundreds of hours it never seems to get old
@@Henrique02975 Yeah I'm not really working on the platinum so to speak but I do love the Game. I've had it years but every so often I get my grind on with it. Despite it's weirdness and well everything gross hehe it's one hell of a "Shmup" the Gameplay is so fluid and addictive as hell! It's definitely up there with my favourite Games of all time and I've been Gaming for 32 years. 👍✌️
those in Far Cry 4,5 and New Dawn were annoying if its online (if you are happy with your profile with strangers) is to go on ps trophies and go to the last message of that you might find a person also looking for it
This speaks to me on such a deep level. I just platinumed Final Fantasy VII Remake yesterday. I had to deal with the worst boss in the game to get that platinum. Even worse than the boss gauntlet.....Jules and the bloody pull-ups mini-game! The horror!!!!
I decided to platinum Final fantasy 7 Remake. The original was a hand me down along side a ps2 so it had sentimental value, I'm struggling with the pride and joy trophy. Bahamut casting megaflare is a one shot no matter what I do, raising defense and using barrier doesnt save my bacon.
In regards to #1: I noticed something about a certain trophy for Trail Of Cold Steel 2, there is a trophy for awakening at the Eisengard Range called "Unexpected Surroundings" and it has an acquisition percentage of 87%. Awakening at the Eisengard Range is literally the start of the game, it's a trophy basically for pressing "NEw Game", how does this have only 87%?
I played the Fallout 76 during the beta. I wish the game was better, because the trophy list isnt too daunting and I kind of want to Plat it minus the first trophy that I couldn't unlock during the beta 😂 which is essentially "start the game."
Mr. Futago a lot of people don’t even know what trophies are or mean and they never sync them. I have a friend who beat some pretty hard games and he only has like 5 bronzes or something like that
If I know a game is going to be too hard to platinum then it's nice to just sit back, relax and enjoy the game without the stress of trying to platinum it.
My 37 Platinums = no social life outside of work. My most recent with this though was with Star Wars Battlefront 2's "not all miss", for some reason I had a mental block and it took me a year and a half of breaks and returns to finally get it and unlock that Plat!
@@sampsunmartenson7818 That's what I have to do! It isn't really hard of course, just VERY time consuming. It feels like I've been at it for a week and a half so far and still have tons of locations to do!
@@TheOrangeSunsetGaming yeah bro.. I only need overheating and old habits, but there's no way I'm grinding 500 areas of this damn desert thing doesn't want to pop😑..
Thank you Rob. Watching this I checked my trophies and I was one trophy away from 100% bloodborne. After 4 years I didn’t realise I was so close so I just played it for 4 hours now and just got my first ever platinum. Wow. I’ll be tired tomorrow with my 6yo daughter waking my in 5 hours (12.20am right now), but she will understand when she’s older lol. I’m so very tired but also calmly ecstatic because everyone is in bed. Wow. Thank you Rob for making my quarantine that little bit better.
The one that hammered these stages home for me was the Crash N-Sane Trilogy. I got all 3 eventually, but they pretty much drove me N-Sane. ... I'll get my coat.
