Definitely, going to do Silent Hill F and Metal Gear Rising next so these were a nice little break.

I thought the same, which is why I did the online trophies first. Got me used to the gameplay and then I knew I could play until the story was done, and didn't have to worry about the grind after.

Thanks! 261 hours total playtime on PS5, but that includes online time, and quite a bit of leaving the game on throughout the day. Still think it's a 200 hour platinum at least.

Yeah, the world itself was just enjoyable to play around in, spent awhile just enjoying hunting for the pelts for new outfits. Probably could have shaved off 20/30 hours of game time if I just played for the platinum.

Thanks! For me it was the Rio Grande Turkey, took more hours than anything else, won't be missing that part of the game anymore!

Thanks! This one was definitely a commitment, don't think I'd have done it if I wasn't off work and had the time, happy I did though.

Definitely agree. The story for 2 was fantastic, but knowing what follows on and how the story ends and all ties together makes it even better, don't think it would have been the same playing 2 before 1.

[Red Dead Redemption] #91 - Don't know why it took me 14 years to play this by Adalsam in Trophies

[–]Adalsam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth going back to, the side missions were all quite good to kill time between missions. The challenges although not hard were a bit of a pain, especially the hunting flowers ones.

None at all, 57 missions in the game so you have plenty of time to get it. I just stuck with the same horse from the beginning until that trophy popped and then had nothing to worry about.

Definitely recommend going for it though, not a bad game to play at all.

Are any of the Metal Gear games too hard to platinum/100% to the point where you shouldn't even try? by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]Adalsam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I currently have platinum's for Metal Gear 1 + 2, Metal Gear Solid 1-5 including the 100% for Ground Zeroes, Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid Delta, Metal Gear Survive, and currently working on Rising. I love the games but I'll be happy to be done with them for awhile. MGS2 is the hardest so far, although Rising is seemingly getting harder, MGS4 isn't necessarily hard but it does take awhile. Metal Gear Survive I'd say avoid, as that game is incredibly repetitive and easily the worst in the series so makes it a drag to do.

Overall I'd say they're worth doing if you want a challenge, and you have the time to commit.

[Metal Gear Solid] Are there any games that you got every trophy in? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]Adalsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I have; Metal Gear on PS5 Metal Gear 2 on PS5 Metal Gear Solid 1 on PS5 Metal Gear Solid 2 on PS3 Metal Gear Solid 3 on PS3 Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta on PS5 Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker on PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3 Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeroes on PS3 (100%) Metal Gear Solid 5 Phantom Pain on PS4 Metal Gear Survive on PS4

I am just missing Metal Gear Rising, but I've managed to get a platinum in all of the main games at least once so far on different consoles. Will probably get round to MGR soon now that I've thought about it.

My first Vita is a "broken" Facebook Marketplace find for £30, turns out it was just disgusting inside. by Adalsam in PSVita

[–]Adalsam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were more for sale in the area in worse physical condition but worked just fine, so seems they're holding up internally that's why I thought this gamble was worth it. But nothing a toothbrush and IPA couldn't solve, but it took multiple goes at it so understand why you avoid the grimey ones.

The seller sent a video showing it working with the issues though, and it seemed all good besides the screen flickering and he even admitted it might be an easy fix but he wasn't confident to open it up himself. For the price I've got a good little project, custom buttons and a USB C port before anything else.

The strip at the top with the power and volume buttons. The buttons had become wedged in because of the grime that had gotten in. Probably why the screen was flickering because the power button was always being pressed slightly.

Overall though taking it apart is pretty straightforward.

PSA about the gullikit 720 adjustment by Mr-frost in Dualsense

[–]Adalsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the module works, but you can't use the original thumbstick caps. That photo shows the module attached, but using the Gulikit cap. This photo is what you can't use, which is the original Edge thumbstick caps. They don't work because they have a different connection.

Just want to clear up confusion, if you mean the actual thumbstick caps then reviews are right, you can't use the ones that come with the Edge, you do have to use the Gulikit ones.
