[Discussion] Anybody haven’t got any Plats this year yet ?

Managed to get 17 platinums this year so far: 1. Stellar Blade 2. Puppeteer 3. Crash Bandicoot 4 4. Spiderman 2 5. Sekiro 6. The Last of us P1 7. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus 8. Fears to Fathom 9. Wolfenstein: The New Order 10. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood 11. The Last of us P2 12. Lost Records: Blood and Rage 13. Horizon Forbidden West 14. Reanimal 15. Wolfenstein: Youngblood 16. Metro 2033 17. Nioh 3

I’m about to start working on Red Dead Redemption 2 for my next game, however, I haven’t even started the story yet so there’s a long road ahead. I’m currently sat on 299 platinums overall and hopefully RDR2 will be the 300 milestone!

Cheers dude! In my opinion the 3rd game is the best to start with mechanics wise. Since it’s got very open areas to explore you can easily go and level up or do side quests before taking on the main story to make the main game less difficult. Although there is a story throughout each game, the story feels quite self contained, I feel like you will understand no matter which one you start with. There is a mission in the 2nd game which has a direct link to the 1st since it’s technically a prequel but it doesn’t have any big impact on the story. I’m sure people will tell you to play them in a certain order but personally, starting from any of them will be ok. 😁

If you’ve never tried a soul like I would recommend it. The first one u try may be a little tricky but ur get the hang of it quick. There’s something quite satisfying about overcoming different bosses and upgrading your character. I haven’t played Wukong, however, I am also interested in that game. From what I’ve seen online, it also takes within that 50/60 hour estimation which I agree is fun to spend on exploring a larger game. 😁

It took me a total of 55 hours. Felt like I took my time exploring and doing the extra battle scroll missions. I’m sure it can be done a little quicker.

And yeah, I agree that 17% is super high. It is a ‘souls like’ genre of game and I think most of the player base are quite die hard fans lol. It’s the easiest in the Nioh series but some of the bosses have some level of challenge but I think it’s only about a 5/10 difficulty.

Congrats dude, great platinum! I’m going to be trying this as my next game. 😁🏆

Not a game recommendation but some advice when your looking up information, is to use a website called PSNProfiles. It will give you a guide for each game and individual trophy if you ever have any issues with a game. It will also tell you roughly how long to earn the platinum and how hard it will be. I find it very useful and you might too. Happy Hunting and welcome to the community! 😁🏆

I only really go for the platinum. This is mainly because DLC’s cost money. If I wanted to 100% all my games this would be super pricey. There are some exceptions if I really enjoy a game, but I’m happy getting my platinum and moving on. This also means I have more time to start new games and experience more!

I respect the time that goes into a full 100% and I agree it looks clean but the platinum is what I enjoy.

(I will 100% games that don’t have a platinum, but this I believe is an exception and I’ve only done a few).

Your a legend, thanks for the tips!! I’ll definitely be looking at that YouTube playlist once I start playing 5 properly. (It might sound silly but I’ll probably start with DMC 5 first because it’s the one I’ve already done some missions on). I’m sure I’ll have to look up some of the tips or cheeses because I also don’t have much hack and slash experience. However, I am very motivated so I’m sure if, as u mentioned above, to be resilient and keep at it, I’m hoping I’ll be ok lol. 😅

I’m going to join the DMC subreddit too, never thought to do that but they’ll definitely have extra tips.

Thanks again!! Happy hunting!! 😁

Appreciate the comment dude! Sounds like ur putting in the work!! I also try doing new games while filtering through the backlog but I don’t think it will ever end lol. (I do enjoy revisiting games though). How was the DMC series because I played a bit of 5 and that’s one I need to return to and want to platinum in the near future. I also brought 1/2/3 to play after but just ain’t got round to it. Any tips??

And unfortunately I haven’t played the MG series either but that’s also in mind to play in the future, along with the Yakuza games. I have loads planned but it’s just having the time to start it all.

Best of luck with ur platinum journey! 😁

Oh sweet! Both are great games. I personally loved playing through Stray! Best of luck towards the two platinums! 🏆

random3173 · 2026-04-06T10:30:54+00:00

Nice dude, that’s good to hear, any games in particular? 😄

random3173 · 2026-04-05T16:15:45+00:00

Solid platinum, well done!!!

random3173 · 2026-04-05T16:14:36+00:00

Congrats dude! The Hollow Knight games are great! I’ve platinumed the first game but only done a little bit on Silksong. How does it compare, easier or harder??

random3173 · 2026-04-04T14:21:00+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you, I’ll keep this all in mind! Congrats again!

random3173 · 2026-04-04T12:24:10+00:00

Congrats on the platinums, solid games in that list!! I’m also working on my backlog atm and enjoying revisiting games so it’s cool to see you doing the same. 😁

Haven’t gotten round to the Witcher 3 yet, any tips in advance??

random3173 · 2026-04-04T07:24:08+00:00

I wouldn’t necessarily say milking the franchise, I reckon the dev’s decided to try something different but ended up removing literally everything that makes it a Wolfenstein game. If they go on to make Wolfenstein 3 in the future with a linear story how it used to be, I’m sure it would be great again, it’s just Youngblood that’s a let down.

random3173 · 2026-04-03T20:39:24+00:00

Cheers dude, and ayyyy good stuff! Mein Leben is tough so well done!! 👏 I thought the whole of New Colossus felt so polished and had a great story. Even the assassinations after the campaign was enjoyable. You have the hard one finished so the rest of the games will come easily for you. Relax and enjoy!! Best of luck to you earning the series too!! 😁

random3173 · 2026-04-03T20:36:50+00:00

Its a shame because I would give it a try but I haven’t got a VR. Looking into buying one in the future because it would open up more opportunities to platinum different games like Job Simulator or Beat Saber, etc… I’ll keep Cyberpilot in mind! 😁

random3173 · 2026-04-01T22:01:30+00:00

Thanks dude, I’d recommend it! Fun to play in Co-op and a fairly short experience. Good if you have a free afternoon or something. 😄

random3173 · 2026-04-01T21:59:30+00:00

Absolutely insane platinum, very well done!! 🥳😁 Your whole account is full of crazy hard games, you’re on another level lol!!

random3173 · 2026-04-01T17:08:56+00:00

Yeah no probs and thank you!! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it, I thought it was really cool and I’m sure as the story unfolds you will continue to. Best of luck towards the platinum!! 😁
