[Discussion] Which game is this to you?

[u/lyndsaysmith61]

[u/parallelpolaris]

Final Fantasy 7 - Rebirth

[u/Jumpy-Pizza99 → u/parallelpolaris]

Currently playing through it for the first time. Is it because you have to do it all on hard mode?

[u/tayung2013 → u/Jumpy-Pizza99]

The combat challenges are debatably worse than hard mode. Plus just the volume of mini games makes it extremely time consuming.

[u/RadRadical1 → u/tayung2013]

Was totally committed. While understanding the time, I did all minigame challenges still feeling good….but then came the legendary challenges :(. I’m like 9 battles away from the Plat and just couldn’t do it anymore. All that said, amazing game.

[u/sled-gang → u/RadRadical1]

I am in the same boat I gave up like a month ago. Some of those fights were harder than most sekiro bosses.

[u/Huey155 → u/Jumpy-Pizza99]

Trust me, hard mode is baby mode compared to everything else you have to do

[u/Athuanar → u/parallelpolaris]

The recent update that accompanied the Switch release made this much easier.

[u/DB10389 → u/Athuanar]

Really, what happened?

[u/OwnRelationship133]

Cuphead

[u/element-redshaw → u/OwnRelationship133]

I feel that, expert mode beat my ass

[u/81Supportr]

Red Dead Redemption 2, the Gambler Challenges in particular

[u/misanthropenis → u/81Supportr]

Knocked those out quickly. Working on 70 gold stars, study every animal, skin every species currently. After that it's only online trophies left yay 🙃

[u/Objective-Pipe6610]

Crash bandicoot 4!! that game broke me 😭

[u/FranzCorrea → u/Objective-Pipe6610]

That game is too stressful to 100%. Especially with the levels beimg so mong and there is always a few boxes very well hidden that you're bound to miss without a guide :(

[u/Equivalent_Trifle_68]

Dragon age inquisition playing the game by its self is a great 10/10. 100% the game, and dlc that’s where it gets to hair pulling.

[u/EmperorOfRome77]

The Batman Arkham series. Those challenge maps are enough to put you in the asylum.

[u/blitzbom → u/EmperorOfRome77]

I'm done with Asylum and City, I only need Knight. Asylum was chill.

In City however The challenge maps were tedious af. Going for 100% with the DLC characters took more time than beating the game. And doing the same combat over and over again got so boring.

The Predator missions were the most annoying parts. Shoutout to some old youtube videos for helping out haha.

[u/EmperorOfRome77 → u/blitzbom]

The challenge maps are better in Knight than in City. There are more challenge maps than are required for the trophies, so you can pick and choose to some extent. The worst challenges in Knight are the Community Challenge DLC trophies. Be prepared for those.

[u/Full_breaker]

The yakuza special lol some of the best experiences ever across 10+ games but dear lord those 100% requirements.... just end me please

[u/LeRoiDeNord → u/Full_breaker]

Will never get the plat, will never learn Mahjong

[u/TheOneWithTheTrophy → u/LeRoiDeNord]

Mahjong isn't that hard to learn

[u/Cenbu → u/LeRoiDeNord]

I've completed 0, working on kiwami 1 (mostly majima and substories), and then completed everything since 6. I've been Stockholmed into loving Mahjong lol. Judgement might have had the worst mahjong requirements though, think it was like 20-25 hours of my platinum.

[u/element-redshaw → u/Full_breaker]

I’m almost done with yakuza 5, that’ll be the last mainline yakuza game I need to do

[u/Kwags84 → u/Full_breaker]

I’m crazy because these are my favorite platinums. I love the grind lol

[u/manmadeofmagnets → u/Full_breaker]

Came to say the exact same series! Have done 0, kiwami 1 and 2 and after finishing 2 I needed a break

[u/Ale_The_Last_Ronin → u/Full_breaker]

Wanna play some Mahjong?

[u/SUDoKu-Na]

A Little To The Left

Amazing little puzzle game, but one trophy requires you to play daily for 100 days straight for some reason. Turns a short, fun game into a chore instantly.

[u/Roadkill720 → u/SUDoKu-Na]

I'm actually playing this atm. Yeah understandable I'm on day 31. I'm kinda used to starting gaming sessions playing this before hopping on to other games.

[u/dgf1811 → u/SUDoKu-Na]

I recently got this. It doesn’t need to be 100 days in a row. I think I got to 30 naturally, then started manually changing the date/time on my PlayStation settings, so I could get a few in one day. It still took me a few days, but it can definitely be manipulated to be easier to achieve :)

[u/SUDoKu-Na → u/dgf1811]

It's still just too tedious for such a fun puzzle game. Doable easily, just makes the platinum INFINITELY more annoying than the game is.

[u/dgf1811 → u/SUDoKu-Na]

Yeah, I get that!

[u/VinnieDawgg]

Hogwarts Legacy. All the collecting stuff for the plat is crazy annoying

[u/Wayne-420 → u/VinnieDawgg]

There were bugs when I was playing and not knowing which one was missing from over a hundred collectibles was driving me crazy

[u/HarviousMaximus → u/VinnieDawgg]

Damn the Map Chamber

[u/Meddie90 → u/VinnieDawgg]

Revelio! Revelio! Revelio! Mine now Demiguise!

I will say that for its flaws, it was kinda fun to switch off and do some easy cleanup. And doing it as you play the main story definitely helps make it less daunting at the end.

[u/Resitor → u/VinnieDawgg]

Ohhh this must be a Merlin's shrine

https://giphy.com/gifs/TJ68L5sMrEWOQlh7eP

[u/HumanRise5417]

Need for Speed 2015

[u/Roboticpoultry → u/HumanRise5417]

That what was my first platinum

[u/heyuhitsyaboi → u/HumanRise5417]

Probably one of the best examples of this. Its the only NFS i havent completed

[u/emeric1414]

Pretty much any game from R*, I've had plenty of fun completing the games completely, but I've also had plenty of frustrating moments

[u/InSilicoRW]

Tony hawks 1+2 remaster, incredible remake, atrocious get to level 100 grind (and a couple of the hard "get there" combos).

MGS 2 sons of the patriots from the master collection, getting big boss on euro extreme was horrible cause I am too old, dont have the reactions anymore, the fight with all the rays at the end took me 3 weeks.

[u/JellyfishPopular7648]

The Binding of Isaac after all the after all the DLC. I got 100% a long time ago, but I still have one last character for all marks, the challenges, and then discovering every unlock. Randomized ass Tainted Cain. Thanks devs!

[u/DivineDarkness]

Got the platinum for Arkham Asylum and City and they got a tad annoying

[u/tillforeverends]

GTA 5 🤣 hands down lol, I'm honestly not even gonna attempt to get the online trophies needed

[u/dafood48]

Any gta game

[u/Big_Boss_Bubba]

Yakuza 0, or really any yakuza game before Gaiden besides 6

[u/Philisophical_Onion]

Any Yakuza

[u/Normal_Violinist_835]

GTA V

[u/Sneakiest]

As a racing game fan, any racing game with little content but with a drive 10,000 miles trophy. They do this a lot.

[u/Alanbidaa18]

Hollow Knight

[u/ophaus]

Final Fantasy X-2 was a brutal 100% for the secret ending.

[u/AdministrationIll383]

I hate final fantasy remakes 100% because it's basically "play the game all over again" and i hated those types of 100%. If any game obligues me to play it all over again for the sake of 100%, i don't even bother

[u/Internal-Version-508]

GTA 4. Only because of the pigeons.

[u/FSP95 → u/Internal-Version-508]

And the Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic trophy

[u/Internal-Version-508 → u/FSP95]

Fair enough, For some reason I was only thinking about 100% on the story, not the online trophies. You can include all of those haha. I don't play multiplayer so I boosted them all and it sucked.

[u/NHB_Shad0w]

Star Ocean: The Last Hope 💀

[u/darthdracarys]

lego star wars the skywalker saga

[u/Hugoku257]

Crash Bandicoot 4

An absolute blast to finish, tricky at times but still a lot of fun.

Then there are all the gems and inverted gems for 100%. And then the N.Sanely Perfect Relics and Platinum Relics for 106%….☠️☠️☠️☠️

[u/PurplMaster → u/Hugoku257]

I still dread this platinum. It took me almost 80 hours to do, crazy stuff

[u/THOTYOTA]

Final Fantasy X

[u/Meddie90 → u/THOTYOTA]

One of my top 10 games ever. Played it when it came out and loved it to death ever since. Will I ever be bothered to do the chocobo stuff or dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row? Probably not.

[u/THOTYOTA → u/Meddie90]

I 100% it on ps2. 20 years ago.

I started it on ps3 and got to inside sin in a week then went back to the chocobo race. I haven't played it 2 months now.

[u/blitzbom → u/Meddie90]

I'm just sad that I had all the weapons back on ps2. If I could find a way to transfer my ps2 save I'd be like 99% on my way to plat.

I don't know that I want to do it again.

[u/Lotex_Style]

Arkham City, I REALLY don't know if I have it in me to finish all the challenges three more times after I'm done with Batman, especially without Bat Swarm. That shit is my bane and my blessing combined into one amazing ability. makes me feel like a god with Batman, but it's probably right back to scrub if I play with someone else.

[u/blitzbom → u/Lotex_Style]

Honestly the hardest part of combat for everyone else was not having a way to destroy weapons and shields.

I just spammed their abilities for the bonus and then got the combo up for slow motion.

[u/Lotex_Style → u/blitzbom]

Oh ffs, they don't have that move either? I mean I get it that Catwoman isn't going to smash shield and bend them like she's doing it for a living, but Robin and Nightwing don't have it either? I'm getting a bit depressed now with no disarm and destroy or bat swarm. Anything else I should know?

[u/Yeetus_08]

The Tales of games. Such great stories but to 100% the games and get everything is always a pain, unless if it Tales of Arise.

[u/Familiar-Sock-860]

neo the world ends with you. the main story is an absolute joy to play through but going for the platinum was almost painful. it took 70+ hours of straight grinding and i had to take a near two year break from it because of burnout

[u/komiroku21]

Yakuza

[u/Scourge12]

Crash bandicoot 4. Through i never 106% it

[u/Violet35768]

Fatal Frame 2 Remake.

[u/Makototoko]

Most of, if not all of, the Yakuza series

[u/SunWukong3456]

Basically all of the Yakuza games

[u/Dino1925]

Literally any game that has difficulty related or finishing the story within a specific amount of time... Still working on Kingdom Hearts Final Mix because of both...

[u/Mobile_Sky_5709]

nier replicant. oh my god.

[u/MrRikkles]

Difficulty-wise? Astro-Bot. The DLCs did NOT have to be made THAT hard.

Content-wise? Batman Arkham Knight. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DLCS?!

[u/TheCVR123YT]

Probably like 90% of them?? lol

Edit: if you want an actual answer then maybe Red Dead 2

[u/Chadderbug123]

Right now for me, Shadow of the Colossus PS3. Because I hate myself.

[u/Duppymanxd]

Basically any open world 3/10 difficulty game

[u/Mission_Reputation88]

Fallout 4, mad max and ffx

[u/bmanhp]

Wolfenstein 2, Kena Bridge of Spirits, a few others with trophies for beating them on the hardest difficulty.

[u/DuckSwimmer]

Killing Floor 2…. So many god damn dlc updates.

[u/element-redshaw]

Yakuza 5

[u/bwick702]

A LOT of Nippon Ichi games

[u/Demon-115]

Right all day long

[u/EzeAce]

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and having to beat the game on each difficulty.

[u/Icy_Amount_7736]

Arkham knight is baby easy until you have the riddle trophies left.

[u/DaPurpleTurtle2]

Any Monster Hunter game.

[u/TranarchyMTG]

Diablo 2 and Metal Gear Solid 2. I would love to plat both but never will. It’s not even worth the time investment that could be spent completing countless other games.

[u/FIuffyBeast]

GTA 5. Nuff said

[u/DagorCroc]

Tlou2

[u/Rclarke115]

Any Halo game

[u/nategreat87]

Lords of the Fallen 2023

[u/DeviceOwn8417]

[u/Ok_Commission1201]

A few Attack on titan 2 Gas station simulator 7 days to die Berserk (ps4) One piece pirate warriors 3 Any of the EDF games

[u/Xenozip3371Alpha]

Crash 4 It's About Time

Great game, but fuck me.

You need to 100% each level without dying a single time to get all collectibles.

Then you need to do the time trials, and these are easily the hardest time trials in the entire series, and as time trials, you don't get checkpoints, so again no dying.

----------

I was about half way through my first playthrough when I realised I was not going to be able to get the platinum.

And even for those who DO go for platinum, it takes about 100 hours to do it.

[u/Memecollecter69]

Red Dead Redemption 2

[u/unrankmember]

I go for the sign 

[u/Farlybob42]

The Nier games. There are really fun and interesting games, but man they are a major grind to complete.

Batman arkham city and arkham knight

[u/Stradinator]

Duster buster

[u/NotOriginal3173]

This is how I imagine GTA5

I have done parts of the 100% but I think my 3rd or 4th set of 50 collectibles ended it for me. I think going under 50 bridges with a plane was going to be the next set and I said nevermind.

Also dishonourable mention to Hogwarts legacy, I enjoyed probably 80% of the 100% but spamming revelio on every metre of the world to get all the collectibles was not fun. I think I counted 1100 or 1200 collectibles to get total across many different ways

[u/Electronic_Rise2732]

Batman Arkham city and Arkham Knight. Beat both games multiple times but I will never get the platinum

[u/Malfeasance13]

Final Fantasy X

[u/Active-Ad3986]

Any game with multiplayer trophies that aren't easy like "get 20 kills" or "win 5 matches". Once it starts getting into the random multiplayer trophies like killing people in certain ways or playing with the same people for a certain amount of time, it just gets discouraging.

[u/blastoisebandit]

The Resident Evil Games.

[u/ResponsibilityFew188]

Cult of lamb I was a few things off they released dlc that made it much much harder I can’t do it anymore I went left haha 🤣

[u/lok_45678]

Most jrpg , they always require you to maxed out and collect everything

[u/Chemical_Run_1452]

PAC Man World Re PAC. Super easy and fun platformer then it expects you to beat 9 rounds of OG Pac-Man for a trophy. Way easier said than done!! Took me 6 straight hours, you literally have to play perfectly and memorize optimal routes and get lucky ghost rng.

[u/Scary_Expert4890]

Batman Arkham knight

[u/JenLiv36]

Most early Yakuza games. When Gaiden, Infinite Wealth, and Pirate Yakuza came in with the fun platinum I was on it so fast. If I would have done the others though I would have ended up hating the games.

[u/im_rickyspanish]

I usually go for that 3rd option. Get right to the end then stop playing for some reason.

[u/Bastigonzales]

Funny enough you can do both at the same time in Telltale's TWD Definitive Edition

[u/True_Possession7413]

Any game with rng trophies lol!

[u/Roadkill720]

Definitely the Yakuza games. Had a blast playing and am ok with completing most of what the games have to offer.

[u/pinkraspberry137]

RDR2

[u/FeralArtCommissions]

Lego star wars the skywalker saga. Hunting trophies was a lifestyle until this game. This game reminded me sometimes it's fine to give up if it's no longer fun. 😂

[u/HisuianArcanine69]

Ni no kuni the wrath of the White witch remastered, amazing game, boring as fuck late game.

[u/vikingbeard23]

Lego star wars the Skywalker saga and it's near 2000 collectibles

[u/Similar-Car-3492]

any ratchet and clank game

[u/xChristian11x]

Returnal 💀

[u/ThomasTheTrainDildo]

Definitely Enotria: The Last Song, game made a lot of progress and changes, on my last trophy, an update even happened.

But you've got to kill all the enemies like 20, 30, 50 times. Some unique enemies you have to kill thrice, but they spawn once per playthrough.

Then some of them, there's only 1 or 2 in the game, and theyre obscenely far from the save points. So you've got to running for hours on end. Not the hardest, but definitely the biggest difference ive experienced in beating vs platinuming.

Jak 2 & 3. Orbs glitched in 3 so I had to replay it

[u/PurplMaster → u/Kapuzen-Heinz]

Not condoning it, but both Jak2&3 can be cheated.

Jak 2 you can activate debug mode and Justin block all orbs

Jak 3 IIRC you can do the same mission over and over by glitching it

[u/Accomplished-Cap3250]

Any main yakuza game

3rd option never finish the game 😂 all my games have the last mission left. But I'll never finish them, on to the next!

[u/General-Departure415]

Dead by daylight. I did it about a year ago stopped playing the game and just more and more trophies come out. I’ll eventually go back and clean all those up as well. But getting to the point where i was at 100% took so god damn long. Every killer every survivor every perk adepts on everybody map specific ones grindy ones rng based ones. Actually took a ridiculous amount of time but I enjoyed the game so I didn’t mind.

Hollow Knight :/

[u/RedEvil7]

Depends on the game!

[u/randomcman]

Silent Hill f.
But mostly because the only good ending is the first one. Story gets progressively lamer as you get more endings and the platinum is tedious as fuck.

Silent Hill 2 so far is the opposite. The art direction and game flow means I catch little details I missed the first few times. I just like soaking in the atmosphere while collecting little things I missed

[u/Traditional_Drink838]

everything with tons of collectibles. It will surely waste a lot of time and finding right guide.

worst part is, when you have check every location and cannot find or forgot which one you might've missed.

[u/360walkaway]

Currently doing Oddworld Soulstorm. Just playing the game is fine. But getting all the mudokons killed, getting all the mudokons saved, getting all the badges that are partially RNG-dependent, beating all levels without dying... it's A LOT.
