Completed my own journey for this a couple of months back. Had the same issue as you at the end, with 99.47% showing up. Safe to say I was panicking with what I could've missed. Luckily was only a simple side mission with one of the girlfriends that was needed. A fitting video for a special game that brought us all so much joy back in the day. Pleased to go on these journey's with you, Adam!
Fantastic episode. Loved the music throughout to capture the different areas of the map that open up, especially when you can't use licensed music. The narrative that builds up around that final trucking mission was a great finale to the episode - Fantastic, as always.
Cheers. Thank you for noticing. A lot of thought went into that, got real tricky like you mentioned, because I can't use licensed music. Glad you enjoyed the finale.
Maaaan, that moment when you were looking for whatever tiny bit of content you missed for 100% completion had me on the edge of my seat! I remember my many runs through this game, lol, I never went for 100% completion because I was really bad at stuff like flying the planes, and the RC cars were horrible on the original version, still, doing that final mission on one try with no cheats, that was pure adrenaline! Amazing journey as usual Adam!
I was so worried, haha. Don't blame you for not going for 100%, it is a lot. Fair play doing the final missions without cheats. Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Nobody does the platinum journey better than the og, your a class above mate. As always keep up the great quality edits and the attention to detail with sound is top class! Always an inspiration as well to us smaller creator trying to find a place in the platinum RU-vid scene! 💙
These videos are so awesome man… been watching you for a couple years and everytime I see another platinum journey of yours pop-up it makes me happy! 😀
I'm honoured to by your favourite. I love Limerick. Been around the world and while there are many places as good as Limerick, on a good day, no place is better.
@@AdamMcDermott great video Adam y love your video series and how you comment your progress in all games to obtain any platinum trophy of psn y hope see the evil within platinum journey sunner or the next year greetings from Brazil good man I am trophy hunter how you total of my plats today in September of 20 ; 2023 : 89 plats y don't now what I can't play now ldk
I accidentally moved my cursor and saw the video had PLENTY of runtime left once he was nearing the plat, so I knew something was bound to happen that would keep it from popping 😅
I've been waiting patiently for the newest episode since the day after the last one came out. I'm consistently blown away by the quality of your videos. Hopefully one day you'll be able to ditch client work and do this full time instead ;)
Having recently earned the GTA V Platinum (game is great, platinum is awful), I can definitely say that San Andreas still remains my favorite GTA. CJ remains the most compelling protagonist and I love his relationships with Wu Zi, Cesar, The Truth, and the rest of the phenomenal cast. I have this platinum on PS3, PS4, and once I finish up all Final Fantasy Pixel remasters I’m planning on doing it again on PS5.
Adam, I think you've out-done yourself with this one! This video is slickly made and flows so well. ALSO I really like your choice of music here. It definitely feels like you had a lot of fun putting this together in the editing room!
I'm honoured you think that. Thank you. Finding the music is always one of my favourite things to do for an episode. Then going back into the game getting scenic shots to match, so much fun in the editing room indeed!
Really enjoy following your journey through these platinums, Adam. Always find myself coming across your new uploads and binging a lot of your older videos (sometimes it inspires me to chip away at my backlog). You've come a long way, keep up the great work!
Great platinum video again mate. Man I remember that last mission back on the PS2 with no checkpoints and having to start the mission from the beginning each time. Bad times. lol
Yes!! finally taking a crack at one of my favourite games of all time, loved to see the journey, your videos always give me a sense of calm and a genuine enjoyment and love for the games you're playing, fantastic video!
It's funny this should come out this weekend, my partner and I went to see Limp Bizkit in London yesterday and one of the support acts, Joey Valence & Brae, used the "oh shit, here we go again" line as a sample in one of their tracks. Great episode as always, the truly wholesome content never ends 🙌
I've been watching you for the better part of a decade now and I have to admit, I have seen the insane progression in your video's. Still feel that dopamine rush when I see the "Adam McDermott has released a new video" notification! Keep it up :)
Thank you for sticking around so long. I'm honoured you still get that dopamine hit and that you feel my videos are still improving. Don't worry, I'll be around for at least another decade :)
I just came across your channel and I have to admit that I love it, you are great at entertaining people and very interactive gotta watch all the platinum videos! Wish you nothing but the best, and keep up with ur good work you'll go far!
We love it!, Would have been funny for you to play the original and do that dreaded un-nerfed train mission... my god. Big props to the audio, loved the touch with it going from left to right too, showed the struggle with how much of a drag doing the checklist was. Got to give you credit for the hard work and intricate edits Adam!
I heard about that horrid train mission, sounds rough. Thank you very much. Glad you noticed and appreciated the intricate edits and audio touches. Every episode is a labour of love.
Amazing video Adam seeing this today made my day so much better always good to see your content. I have the exact same issue with the 100% completion and can’t seem to figure out what it is. I’m gonna give it a long while because this platinum broke me.
Great work as usual Adam. GTA San Andreas is my favorite in the series as there is just so much to do and you were right about the missions being more varied than Vice City. By the way have you seen the new episodes of Futurama yet?
Thank you. Yep, enjoying the new season. Don't think it has hit its full stride yet but a stronger start than the Comedy Central run, which ended up having some all-time great episodes.
Another classic episode. These ports are rough around the edges but I'm glad you found a good time in the game (at least when it wasn't breaking or raising your blood pressure). Cheers, Adam
Shocked to hear you haven't played GTA 3 yet. I look forward to it on a future journey video. It is probably my favourite GTA still. Just make sure you do all the side stuff early on each island, as it gets harder the further into the game you go. I am sure you will find that on your research anyway :)
Congrats Adam on a new platinum trophy and episode! I would say it was worth it, sure it's a tedious grind but it looks like you still had a good time.
Terrific work & fantastic video as always, I played Vice City on the PS2 to 100% last year, without using cheats, like I did when I was younger as it was so much fun with cheats. Done it but my love for GTA was crushed, have San Andreas sitting there to do the same & have put the disc in a couple of times & took it back out again, I am not ready to tackle it.
Great episode (standard). I really need to replay this one too. I’ve got the original edition, which has a slightly different trophy list, so you don’t need the 100%. Looking forward to DMC already!
Completely biased but Adam is the best trophy hunting channel! In my opinion, when ever I see a upload I have to watch it like a new episode aired on TV! Love you Adam, thank you for your hard work ❤
Another absolutely fantastic video, Adam! I love these Since I left my last comment, I started attempting my own platinums - starting with Assassins creed the Ezio collection. Great fun so far (has its frustrations too lol)
do you edit your videos? this video is so well edited! i feel u have dominated ur pacing and transitions so good! Love your vids! you inspired me to get my first couple plats and im currently hunting for my 4th, FF16. Love from méxico
Yep, I edit all my own videos. Quite enjoy the process. Thank you, glad you like my editing so much. Those are some good first couple of platinums. Love from Ireland. Mucho gusto.
And that's another platinum trophy in the bag nice job Adam. I think and you might agree with me here when I say that with sandbox games like this yes they give you a big open world to explore with a variety of things to do and collect but on the other hand where that can be a good thing with how much content there is it can also just mentally drain you. At least its over and done with now right?
Thank you very much! Ah, I hate the light emitting from the controller. Especially when I'm playing a game that I fully want to be immersed in, I turn off all the lights so the ones coming from the controller drive me nuts. Little bit of tape and problem solved.
What a happy time watching your videos is :) I always wonder but something I've never asked... you seem to have some music that i would imagine is copyrighted, do you have to ask permission before putting it in your videos? And when you have permission how do you prove to the youtube overlords that you have permission?
I'm happy to hear that. I think you mean the songs with lyrics? Those are always copyright-free. I just find the really good ones through Epidemic Sound. It is about €120 per year but a great library. Every video since ICO has had music from Epidemic.
Greetings, my friend! It's always such a treat to have dinner with your videos playing, haha I see you picked another big one to platinum, so it makes me curious about something: how do you like platinum journeys that take a really long time such as the GTA series? And just another thing I'd like to know as your fan: are you interested in the Final Fantasy series? With the newest Final Fantasy XVI game just released alongside a compilation of the remastered version of the first 6 games, almost the entire series can be platinum'd now! As a direheart Final Fantasy fan, I'm surely going to do it eventually! I'm currently playing the original Final Fantasy VII on my ps4 and greatly enjoying my time, haha All the best!
Thank you. I find them an interesting challenge. Can't do the longer ones all the time, but like the occasional one. I adore FFX and like FFXII. FFXVI looks interesting. Maybe someday I'll do episodes about some of them. Have fun with FFVII.
This is my favourite GTA game :) I hope some day I can play it again and it becomes my first GTA game to platinum Awesome video Adam :) I'm working on Hogwarts (Ps4) for my 70th plat, then after that maybe Shadow of Mordor. How come u don't like comments ?
Vice City and San Andreas are the first games I completed a 100% as a kid , now I've fully completed a bunch of games a 100% like Witcher 3 , Red Dead 2 to name a few .
It was always on my bucket list to 100% this since I was younger growing up with it loved it but as a kid couldn't do it lol and now i have both platnium on the DE and the PS2 port on PS4 great game.
Haha, so tense. Thank you very much. Gonna miss you loads in a couple of weeks. Thinking of getting a life-size cardboard cutout of you and set in the corner of Joel's house. Pretend you are there with us.
Glad to see you're recovering from Vice City. When I saw you were going back to gta I was gonna be like Aww Shit here we go again 😂😂 Keep it up Adam, Gta V is very grindy and has online probably not for you to do a platinum journey 😂
