That friend who stayed to help with the races when the other two tapped out, is a true homie.

The dedication of this man is something I've never seen before

The programmer who was responsible for correctly triggering the achievements must be sweating bullets hoping that they trigger at the right time

That fact that this madman has spent money on 3 more PS3's and copies of GTA 4 just to aquire these 15 year old, hard as hell online trophies is such determination and dedication, you have my respect sir.

This is "absolute insanity" levels of devotion and patience. Same goes to your friends as well. Massive respect.

As someone who also just did all the achievements in GTA IV on PC (luckily no multiplayer achievements on Steam), I really REALLY feel this video. The pain of doing every car pickup, street race, stunt jump and especially the pigeons is just something else. Perhaps the 20(!) street races were the worst. The trophy for 100% is actually a bit more in-depth as well, as you also need to do every available hangout with Brucie, Jacob and Packie at least once. And when I finally thought I was done, I realized that completely missed the Liberty City Minute achievement so I had to do another full playthrough. Luckily the use taxis and skipping of cutscenes meant that I was done in 9:27:00 exactly. Like I said, I felt this video. Thank you.

Moments like these.. pure grinding with friends is really something special. Good times

The LAN party was the best part. The effort you put on those videos is INCREDIBLE

Nate is a real one for sticking through everything

Algorithm brought your stuff up for me a week ago, and I'm so glad it did, these Plat trophy grinds are amazing man, so well edited. The sheer patience and dedication you spend on top of editing it all into a satisfying chunk is really impressive. Glad you're getting the attention you fully deserve!

That lan party was epic. This video and your other GTA ones actually motivated me to get the platinum for this game as it is my favorite in the series! I couldn't convince my friends to do a lan party like you but thankfully strangers helped me get the multiplayer ones, I'm now playing the single player to get the story related ones and then onto the side activities for the 100%! This will be my first ever platinum and I'm glad it is on such an iconic game, still remember watching crash compilations when it first released. Edit: I got it.

the multiplayer part with the boys looked like mad fun to me.

This has always been my favourite GTA game. You're an absolute madman for doing this. It's incredible.

love everything about your videos man so hard to find non cringe platinum finders, just the right amount of humour, memes and actual information, i'd love to see you do crash bandicoot, bloodborne, mafia series or hollow knight

What I love about your platinum videos is you actually show all the trophies! It seems like a lot of trophy hunters will say things like "at this point there was just some boring trophies to do let's skip past them" but you sow the whole process. Love your editing and commentary. One of the best trophy hunting channels on KZfaq!

Commending your friends for helping you out getting the Trophies. A FINE WELL DONE!

8:42 "Slumber" made me flippin' lose it 😂

Just discovering your videos now and I’m truly in awe from the hard work you put in to not only the trophies but the video itself, like entertaining long form content isn’t easy but you have it figured out. Plus hearing all the Deltarune music in the background like Rude Buster made me love it even more, you have a true talent.

Your friends are the true heroes, imagine having to be playing for almost an entire day in order for YOU to get some videogame achievement, and you don't even have 100k subs! As real as it gets, your friends are worth everything, I hope you give them the love they deserve.

Out of all the GTA platinum hunting videos I've seen, these are by far the best edited, best commentated and most fun to watch. On top of that the editing keeps getting better with every new video. Great job!

I did the 100% in singleplayer back in 2009 and it felt like the biggest achievement in my gaming history back then. Even with full servers back in the day, I never bothered going for the multiplayer trophies. It was just too much (especially if you don't have anybody letting you win)

Man, this was special to see ngl memories right here that was quite a ride. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Your dedication was off the charts and your friends are super cool for supporting you in this. Apart from all the trophy grind, what I'm really happy about is how much you enjoyed the main game's story. It's all in all my favorite GTA game with Vice City coming in as a very close second

The platinum series has me hooked and holy shit this mans dedication is on another level

21:58 This is why you LAN! The emotions when a group is together IRL and does something together simply feels amazing! My next question is: Did you guys eat chips while doing the LAN?

I’m prob the only guy who noticed the sonic forces music at 17:08 …

Let’s go GTA4 can’t wait for your brain to melt when you get to GTA 5

I love the little bits of you getting absolutely immersed in the story. I haven't finished it myself to this day but it really is one of those games that makes you think about what you do.

Nate carried the entire run on his back and that segment earned my sub. 07:02:59 is insane congrats

Nathan is a real one for sticking up to 7 am to help you with the trophies. W Nathan✊

30 hours, and 30 minutes of joel playing GTA IV, totally a perfect combo.

bro not only the dedication to get the achievements but the dedication to edit i don’t even know how many hours of footage is literally insane. props to you man. btw i really liked how when you edited the pigeons counting down from 199-0. very satisfying

I could never find the determination to even complete just the 200 pigeon trophy. I couldn't imagine the laborious grind to get platinum. Salute to you and the boys, and let's never forget how legendary GTA4 is. My favourite of the whole series.

This has quickly become one of my favorite series on KZfaq. I don’t usually comment on videos but I just gotta say Joel does an amazing job with these videos and every time he does one I can’t wait for the next! A lot of people do these style of videos as of recent but these are by far the funniest and well put together

The edits on the trophy hunting videos are amazing keep up the amazing work. Can’t wait for the next vid.

I have all the trophies except for "wanted", it required a LOT of grinding and of course I didn't know about the glitch 13 years ago... You motivate me to get a PS3 and get the trophy! Incredible video, you have my utmost respect for your commitment

mad respect for setting up a lan party just to get the trophies, you are a mad man!! you deserve your success!

This must be one of the best gaming related videos I've ever seen. The dedication, the grind of this man is insane! I was like okay 'how'll he manage the multiplayer trophies' This man casually buys some ps3 and builds up a LAN-Setup haha Also huge W to his friends who supported the process.

14:35 "we have to do 20 race" "whaa😮‍💨"

Man, I've been going through to get all the Trophies I've missed over the years, but I never even bother with the Multiplayer ones. This is some commitment, good luck down the road man

I can feel your pain, I platinum'd it back in the days + 100% on dlc's. The 200 flying rats were so annoying and the multiplayer trophies are just so glitched and only about grind. So good game man, this is not for nothing if GTA IV's platinum mentions "Sorry for taking liberties with your time" haha.

HUGE Respect for the dedication you put into getting all the achievements in this one Also Special shoutout to your friends for helping you out. Well Done 👏 👏 👏

Waiting anxiously for the next vid 👀

Man, your friends are absolutely real ones for helping you with the LAN party, some good friends for real ❤

Nostalgia trip! As someone who also got the Platinum for GTA IV it was great to see the highs, lows and everything in-between from your eyes. Shoutout from Melbourne. 🤙

Gotta show big respect to the homies, but especially to Nathan. That bro is the toughest soldier in the group. He definitely has that S-Tier endurance and stamina🫡💯

These platinum hunts are incredible. Keep going. Never stop never stopping.

so good man. watching all your achievments videos rn

This KZfaqr combined nostalgia, frustration, wholesome moments, dedication and satisfaction in a whole video.

Liberty City Minute is always one of those trophies that sounds more terrifying than it is. Both times I played the game fresh, on PS3 and PC, I got the trophy/achievement without even intending to go for it. In the case of the former, I didn't even know it existed until I got it.

Liked when the MW2 soundtrack "Endgame" came up @ 19:02. Nice touch

The amount of dedication shown in this video is nothing short of unbelievable, earned a sub, plus GTAIV is my favourite game so I absolutely loved this!

Keep this series up dude, it’s awesome. You’re insanely funny and the editing adds so much more to that. You’re destined to be big, dude! And yes, GTA IV is the most underrated. A masterpiece.

This is the one platinum trophy I'll forever be proud of (relieved too). Impossible to do without a trustworthy friend(s) for the MP part.

This is awesome man keep going. You’ll blow up fast with this content

As a person who's 100%'d GTA 4 on PC, the pain is understandable. My Rarest Achievements showcase on Steam literally got taken over by the achievements and it's like PTSD every time I see it. God bless your dedication. Holy.

19:52 I can feel the excitement 😂😂😂❤

Seeing the struggle immediately got me subscribing to see more pain 🔥 I had similar horrible multiplayer experiences with both fable and AC black flag, trying to match make on ancient servers is disgusting! Fable was probably the worst, one of the trophies is to own the chicken suit which is no longer obtainable so you have to basically hope you bump into someone who A has it and B is willing to trade it to you and trust you will give it back to them 😂

I just found your channel, I've been trophy hunting for 12 years, and damn what a good video. I can't believe you set up a LAN for the online trophies, I must have spent about 2 months boosting them online with several people in 2020. Congratulations on the platinum.

25:33 love the far cry 6 sound track

I watch a TON of channels that do Platinum Trophy videos, and you are by far my favorite of all of them. Your humor, editing, voice, enthusiasm, etc.... it's off the charts. Great job on this video! That multiplayer grind was hilarious to watch, but also well worth it!

29:50 *tap* ...huh... WOOOAAAAHHH!!

it’s amazing how far gta 5 went from gta 4 like really that’s insane

19:48 The hairs on my arms STOOD up. The nostalgia was too real I was saying “You gotta get a helicopter to do it bruhhhhh” then you got it and I was all “See I told you”

23:40 we salute you boys for this🫡

I love these videos😂the dedication and commitment to trophies is unreal

So many memories of my childhood brought back from this video. I remember coming home from school in the 7th and 8th grade and playing with my friends for hours upon hours. Hangman's NOOSE was always my favorite.

3:59 best NYC driver

Let's gooo, we've been waiting for this! Seeing Joelemez in pain is always great to watch -Sorry not sorry-

The Taxi drivers at 12:50: "Nah man, I ain't getting paid for this sh*t"

Doing this right now on PC. The GTA 4 Complete Edition including the EFLC and TBOGT. It is still a massive grind but there are no multiplayer trophies thank god.

My man, that was the most insane thing I ever saw someone do to platinum a game. You deserve the sub.

Bro keep up the great work. Your editing and humor in these are great and these videos are really useful as guides. Keep it up

These videos take me way back. It was exactly back in those days that I was obsessed with platinum trophies as welll. Unfortunately (or fortunately for my sanity) one of the earlier games I tried to get was Battlefield: Bad Company 2 which was actually impossible even when the servers were full. So I gave up on the completionist mindset when it came to trophies.

The dedication is insane instantly subscribed

Im currently getting this platinum and Auf Wiedersehein Petrovic is the last trophy I need, I thought I had done everything for it but it didn't pop, sucks. Good job on getting the platinum!

Went on the same journey back in July of 2020 & it's one of my proudest platinums. It was so intriguing watching you go for the plat for this goated game & love that you had 3 bros to set up that legendary lan party to get the dreaded multiplayer trophies! I kinda got lucky by meeting some random dudes from Brazil that helped me get the plat & watching you get the multiplayer trophies outta the way reminded me of my own journey. Congrats mate & keep up the s+++ tier content!!

8:00 Goble goble deez 🤣

I need more trophy hunting videos! I've rinsed them all now Joelemz!!!

I really love this series. It’s pretty much a holiday every time you upload. That being said it would be really cool if you did a poll on what game you should platinum next. ❤

13:54 it means “goodbye Demetri” in German. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪😃

The swingset of death was a real party zone back in the day. Loved the intro to it there, I had completeley forgotten about it.

Watching this unlocked so many forgotten memories and for that I want to thank you 🙏

Just finished watching all 5 of your trophy hunting videos back to back, and I'd say they are some of the most entertaining trophy hunting vids i have ever watched, good work and i can't wait for future videos!

16:40 “We might be crooks, man, but we’re not criminals!” Lmao 😂

one of the best video ive seen in long thanks so much for this

the using of other games themes for the back ground music hit especially when you use the bully one and wathcing you lan play reminds me of the good ole days when that game came out it was full of people always... good times

thank you for this absolute gem of a video, i was smiling so hard when you got your friends to help with multiplayer, i love this game with a passion so seeing you all have fun together and race for those hangmans challenges, it brought back memories and now i am re downloading gta 4, keep up the great work homie!

15:45 this is amazing 😭😭😭💀

nice dedication, subbed and liked

man i wish you had the ending of the video jumping out of the building that say "geta life" i think that would have been hilarious, love the vid :)

I'm so jelaous that you had friends which they helped you with achievements and a LAN party, dude I never had it and I'm so happy that they agreed to help.

This vid was very enjoyable to watch especially with you playing with your mates mad respect for them pulling through to help you get that platinum

Can't believe you got the LAN party set up, sounds like we might see that setup again in the future

So fun to watch these

I’ve seen a lot of other channels uploading the same challenge but you’re by far the most creative and entertaining. Along with some solid editing 🔥

4:36 This is Art.

Lmao. You actually set up a lan party. I love it. Subscribed.

Your video made me buy a Ps3 and platinum this game, thank you it was very enjoyable ! I did with both dlc in about 75/80h. Keep up the good work dude, I love your vids !

I’m glad I found this video it’s full of dedication and patience and badass people completing hard challenges I love it

The editing, the music selection, the dedication. 10/10 video!! Loved the addition of the boys in there too. I think it's only acceptable now to platinum Episodes from Liberty City too.
