Forums - Sony - Finally going to try and platinum a game

Already at over 70% of trophies, the biggest pain will be the titles but I'm halfway through those, none of which are all that tricky, just takes a while IE use each character 30 times after that I'm home free.

Well, that seems like a bit of work to get the last 30% of the trophies.

I'm in a similar situation for GT5. I've got 70% of the trophies, but some of them will probably take hundreds of hours to get still, like reach A-Spec level 40, B-Spec Level 40 and win everything in gold.

Oh well, I've already got the platinum for Dante's Inferno. If anyone is looking for an easy platinum, DI is your pick.

Actually I'm already at 88% and two of the titles to get the last gold will actually cover the two bronze trophies that are left, I'm already halfway through the second most tedious task, which is get the bonus objectives on all the story battles which gives me two titles which will be all bonus objectives and replay all the story battles.  So from there it's just using each character 30 times and winning 50 ranked matches, not hard at all just will take some time.

Platinuming games is insanely addictive.

Once you're hooked, its hard to go back....

I also thought this would be a good time to waggle my e-penis around. I have the Wipeout HD platinum, ne of, if not) the hardest platinums EVER !!! 

Some of those trophies will make you pull your own hair out and scream till your lungs explode. Especially the five retarded Gold Trophies.

I'm never playing that game again.... Ironically though, I went for that platinum because I had extra time to play games cause I was banned from VGC by Maxwell

How much time do you figure you'll need to use each character 30 times and winning 50 ranked matches?

If you want time consuming trophies, you should give GT5 a try Trying to reach level 40 in either A-Spec or B-Spec will take hundreds of hours in each mode. To hit level 35 A-Spec, it took over a month (I'm going to reach it in a couple of hours) and from there, the only viable exp farming event to get to level 40 is doing the Le Mans 24 hours race over and over again. You'll need 2 of those races to go from level 39 to level 40

For B-Spec is even worse, as global exp is cut in half, thus to get from level 39 to level 40 you need to do the 24 hours le mans race 4 times. 

And this is with golding every single event in the game, which leads to the hardest overall trophy in the game, the Gold Standard. Mainly because there's the Everest of GT5 events, the X1 challenge, which is almost impossible to gold, even with a wheel.

It takes quite a while for the 30 battles each, EVEN if you cheat with 2 controllers. And winning 50 times isn't easy. People online always kicked my ass =[

This is why you will not see me trying to platinum GT5 I'm not going to buy a racing wheel and despite liking racing games I don't find them as much fun as say a fighter like Brawl or UNS2, RPGs I like doing all the objectives in as well, so trophies are just like doing the stuff I would do even if there were no trophies to be had, like getting everything in FFVII including Aries' final limit break

 Once you go platinum, you don't go back.

I'm the same with RPG's. I'm doing it for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, since i've already finished the game, but i'm not going to give it up until I get all the summons and all the rare weapon drops from the crossbones island enemies. And that's why my usual playthroughs in any RPG is at least double the recommended time to finish it xD.

I do the same for racing games, since it's my second favourite gaming genre I grew up with racing games, my first ones were Stunts 4D, Indy 500, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix, when I was still very little. It's a genre that always keeps me coming back for more xD.

I will have Mass Effect 2 become my first platinum and then Castlevania after I get the DLC. I need a breather from that game until such time. There will be others this year as well.
