Yes all games 100% / Platinum. I started with another account, got five platinum trophies, but then got screwed over by Brutal Legend since its online play was glitched. Wrote about 20 letters to EA / Double Fine, then gave up. Started this account and have been extra careful to avoid games that have glitched gameplay affecting trophies. And so here I am...

HideoK, thanks for the add by the way. You have some impressive 100%s indeed~

Wow, you had to start over. Did you go back and platinum the original 5 games from your old account? 

Also I checked your trophies and noticed that you do have platinum's and 100% in all original content with every game played, but you don't tend to get the DLC to get that game back up to 100%. Is there a reason you don't usually get the DLC? Looks like the only game you got DLC for was Borderlands. Out of all of your games I would recommend the Fallout 3 DLC the most.

For a while there I was trying to get all my games back up to 100% platinum. I disliked seeing a platinum symbol next to a number other than 100%. lol. Must be an OCD of mine! I think there are only 3 games currently that I don't have platinum with 100% including all DLC now. Borderlands which I can easily do if I play Mad Moxxi. Bioshock 2 (which the challenge rooms pack are really hard) and COD:World at War (which is even harder with the zombie mode DLC). Those latter 2 games help me get over this OCD. haha

Eventually I did replay those 5 games. Felt annoyed but at the same time it felt like easy trophies since I've done them all before. They were actually these:

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • Dead Space
  • Infamous
  • Resident Evil 5
  • Fallout 3

I had, on my old account ("Eskir"), gotten every game up to 100%. So in that list it means I did complete the Fallout 3 DLCs, and at that time the Versus mode in RE5 (the other DLCs weren't released at the time). So in this new account I decided that I'll be satisfied with a platinum trophy - too pressuring to get up to 100% for all games. Was for me a good decision since later I found out some games have DLC trophies that are quite menacing. And plus in joining this league I became more interested in focusing on platinum trophies, since they're the ones with value!

And in honestly, I'm so glad that the trophy system does include the platinum trophy. Since on XBox 360 achievements there's only the percentage, and DLC really does screw up the number without any sort of consolation. The platinum trophy, in this case, saves my day by saying, "Yes there are more trophies to collect for this game, but what's important is that you've perfected the core experience, the part that matters most." Anyways, this is just talk to combat another form of OCD. I still definitely get PSN games up to 100% since they mostly don't contain a platinum.

The moral of the story is... If you care about perfection, you really gotta do your research before feeding a new game into the system!
