Yikes, just started this one. Gonna be a ride.

I'm glad you mention that you've been looking at games just to platinum. And you changed your mind set against that because if you look for the next platinum, then you're not having fun with the next game you play. That's why you just got to play games you find interesting and fun. Platinum it for the fun of it. Have fun with it. Also you mention at 11:00 I also believe its just Sony wanting for players to just login everyday for every month. They only care for how many players are logging in to PSN.

Completely abandoning the entire purpose of your channel. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, we'll see if it pays off.

Yea I started feeling this way recently as well. I currently work an office job 10 hours a day and it gets pretty repetitive and monotonous. The last thing I want to do with my limited time after work is another monotonous task like gathering collectibles. Of course theres still some great platinums out there but I'm not replaying games for the sake of new endings. Thats too much, great video tho!

You’ve finally sold it to me. Asking the lads to download outriders now.

Stormy Ascent Dlc SAD

I got 27 plats I’m going for 28 which is The dark pictures little hope

Hey man I was wondering if you could make a video and review my Trophy Collection? I have over 1000 Platinum Trophies.

I’ve been recently enjoying my Xbox achieving gamer score instead without the pressure of trying to get 100% easy plats have killed trophie hunting for me.

I play the dog K

Great video) But I'm not a language speaker, so it was quite hard to fully understand what you saying

PlatinumBro is now RegularGamingBro.

As I get older I just find myself with a lot less time to play games, and so it becomes a matter of do I want to spend that limited time grinding out things like collectables and the like or do I spend that time playing something with my friends, or enjoying another game I haven't played yet. The answer became very obvious very quick lol. Don't get me wrong, I still love trophies and trophy hunting. If I'm not enjoying a game now though I'm happy to drop it, and if I beat a game and think I got my fill I won't go the extra mile. I have to absolutely adore a game now to put that extra time in! I think I'm just in a much better place now. Another comment mentioned escapism and trophy hunting giving control and I absolutely understand that as someone who was there. Trophy hunting gave me the sense of achievement I needed at the time, the sense of doing something. Now though I get that from everything I do from work, the gym, friends and so on. Gaming has finally become just a hobby of mine, and I'm all the better for it! Great video btw, really enjoyed listening to it!!

Ive come to understand sometimes its better to just not bother with a platinum because by the end the positive experience you have from beating a game is diminished when you get the platinum. Im currently making my way through Hogwarts Legacy and after seeing all the stuff I would need to do to plat the game I kind just dont want to bother. Its not that some plats are hard its that they arent fun sometimes. Like I remember getting the plat for Spiderman PS4 and loving ever second of it. But sometimes the plat just isnt worth it if your feelings by the end are going to be negative.

Neon White. Hard as nails, never once did I get annoyed at the game, only myself. Platinum was brilliant and looks good on my profile.

It really isn’t that bad if you use wrench to fly everywhere and then use adin or a hacker specialist for missions you lose one you go for another one easy it’s just the glitches and bugs that got me most of the time

Personally i love call of duty infinite warfare the story beautiful the mechanics amazing! Of course my biggest issue with it is trophies especially multiplayer.. *Cough cough* Dominion trophy

Not enough people played the 1st game I feel like a veteran

Outriders review bombed 😂😂, yeah okay dude

Personally, I started this journey of being a trophy hunter about a year and a half ago, so I only have ~20 platinum trophies in my main account. The other day I have this sort-of-epiphany where I really wanted to play "Shadow of the Colossus (2018)" because the good reviews and accolades this game has, but then I saw thiat you need to do 6 playthroughs in order to get the platinum, so, since 2022, I decided that I won't start a game if the trophies looks too hard or if I need to replay the game a bunch of times. And the same sentiment happens with a lot of games that I have sitting on my shelf because of that: "Prey (2017)," you need to play in a certain way in your first playthrough (no killing enemies, don't use some guns or doesn't even dare to press/activate the action button/power because a trophy is tied to it.) Your second playthrough the opposite, your third a mix of both... The same goes with "Dishonored", "Bioshock"... This got me thinking if it's really worthy that I need to "limit", so to speak, the enjoyment of my first experience with some games just to save hours of my time playing not at my OWN way and pace but the "INTENDED way." I mean, imagine not pressing the square button until you finish a game because the trophie description says "Don't use [X/Y/Z] ability]" which is bind to that button! That first playthough I will not know that mechanic, that power, that first feeling of "what would it be like if...?". There are times when I really get frustrated by this fact.

Trophy hunting has definitely become dull over the last 14 years. I try to make up new rules for myself to keep it somewhat fresh. Like getting at least 1 platinum a month or getting a 100% non platinum in-between every 10 plats, getting one on my 1st plat anniversary or other special days to make it more memorable. I've also started putting certain games next to each other just because they look nice. It adds more limitations but also adds a little fun and I think it's artistic. Definitely want to slow down in the next few years though and focus on other things. It's addictive for sure.

Outriders was a really fun game, played co-op with my buddy. Feel bad for the devs because I heard they never made a cent from the game… they sold enough to just cover the publishing costs.

Me and my brother platiumed Gotham Knights. Too 😅

Chivalry 2 was actually the game that brought me into trophy hunting a year ago 😂 Luckily without a single issue... only one of my friends had one bugged trophy but it was just a winning x map trophy that was solved very quickly

This is so cool and fun! I had never thought of making my own achievements for these old games to motivate me more. I never had Yellow (I had Red). The recent Pokemon games I keep not finding the motivation to finish because I like Xbox Achievements more but I do really want to go back and finish XD and Stadium. Maybe a couple more basic and challenging achievements could have been added, but good stuff mate!! 🧡

War in the North was such a fun game but goddamn the bugs... the buuuuuuugs! I had 1 achievement in the game I simply couldn't unlock, its the one where you all execute an enemy together, both my buddies got it first time and I never did and there were multiple times where it happens accidentally and it wouldn't unlock and then we tried to brute force it and it still wouldn't work and I just decided to move on to another game instead of trying to get an achievement. Another game that was buggy af but super fun was Mercenaries 2, in which I also missed 1 achievement due to a glitch which IIRC was "Finish a race" I finished them all multiple times over but nada. No dev really cares to fix achievements though especially in underperforming games :(

I secretly loved playing on P***Hub but everyone else at the funeral seemed to hate it...

Fallout 76 at launch although it was with mates

One of my favourite "hated" games is the last of us 2. I wouldn't say it's universally hated like kill the justice league, but it's extremely controversial. It's in my top 3 of all time. Albeit it might get kicked off the top 3 by Horizon forbidden west, not 100% sure just yet, but forbidden west is definitely up there for me. Mass effect 3 is my most loved game of all time (especially as it was my introduction to the series, played it in 2016).

Mass effect Andromeda, yeah it is the worst game in the series but i enjoyed my time playing through it getting the plat in one play through and the combat was really fun when played in insanity, only problems i had was with the glitches and of course the writing

You are getting fat, man. Stop earning trophies. Do some exercises instead.

Love this style of video

I honestly think that diablo 3 is amazing and tbh ever since middle school I have had over 1k hours in the game, but if we want to be realistic diablo 4 is the worst one in the franchise

For me it was Avengers. I really enjoyed the fighting mechanics and the differente characters.

Diablo 4 is pretty dope this season if you liked D3. I quit in season 1 after the Platinum but the Necro is just so strong in season 4 and leveling up to lvl 100 is way faster than it was and you finally feel like you get loot that kinda matter loll

For me I'd have to say Earth Defense Force 4.1/2025. I haven't earn the platinum yet but I'm still grinding the game, about 200 hours in. The game has probably the longest and grindiest platinum. PSNProfiles says the 2025 version (the PS3 version) takes 400 hours to platinum. People online seem to hate how grindy and tedious it is but I personally am loving the grind. I just stay up late into the night, throw on some KZfaq on my laptop, and play

Loved this video!! If I could create a platinum trophy for any game, it would be The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King!! Epic game!!

Gotham Knighs and Monkey King: Hero is back come to mind. Maaaybbeee Onee Chanbara Origins but im not sure if people hate that game

@platinumbro lol you clearly have no idea regarding platinum difficulty. Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is your hardest plat? Lmao

Wait…are you telling me that there are people out there who dare to hate something I love and believe to be the whole of my being an existence? How dare they! I shall take to Reddit immediately to destroy them digitally speaking. Wait hold on. Crap it’s my mum calling me upstairs for supper. I shall return!

Iron Man VR was really fun plat for me, but it seems I am on the dark side for this one

Agreed with Diablo 3. I completed it recently. It got abit tedious doing all the bounties but its a really good game to chill out on. Mine would be Aliens: Fireteam Elite. The Insane difficulty was one hell of a challenge and actually took a lot of teamwork and synergy. Grinding the weapons to max level too was a bit annoying at first but by the end when I completed all the Achievements, I was actually quite gutted there was nothing left to do. Great video brother enjoyed watching a fellow Geordie Achievement/trophy hunter!

Kane and Lynch 2, I liked it when it came out and I still do. Insanely unique game for it's aesthetic and has aged better than anyone will give it credit for

👍

Callisto protocol. Plat ps4 and ps5 loved it. Also days gone plat on release and everyone hated it. Only now it gets some love

Absolutely love War in the north, one of the best LOTR game imo. D3 was also fun for a brain-dead game, it's not very complex it just suck having to do 500 bounty

Dark souls 2, I loved the gameplay.

It would've been nice to know the names of the games.

Thank you for talking about the One Punch Man game. I just recently bought the game with all dlx on PSN for like $7 and there doesn’t seem to be much info out there about it.

I loved playing Diablo 3 and the only thing i didn't like was the grind to get 6 characters to level 70 - even if it was slightly a lower level like 50 it would have been more bearable to do - but I'm pleased i finally finished this one and got the paltinum
