Just last night I finally beat Uncharted Drakes Fortune on Crushing difficult and got my 1st platinum trophy. It was hard as all hell but not as impossible as I thought it was. There were moments when I wanted to break my controller in half and club baby seals though. But what I wanted to know is what 1st game did you guys get all the trophies for and what game for you was the hardest to get them all?

I don't think I'll ever platinum a game. Hard enough for me to get golds. :lol:

Killzone 2 was my first and hardest (damn you Elite difficulty and destroy symbols/find intel). Crushing was far from the hardest thing for me on Uncharted. Finding all the treasure was the most painful thing even with a guide.

fallout 3 it just keeps going and going and going....
Fallout 3. It's my only and it took me a little over a year. Mainly because my PS3 wasn't reading disks for a couple of months and I had to wait to fix it.
Burnout Paradise... and I loved every second of it since it was challenging, but not mind-numbingly tedious/compulsive/difficult to obtain. It's bittersweet now that it shows as 89% due to addons, but I might get the Uncharted one if crushing is reasonable.

Fallout 3 or Uncharted. I can't remember which came first.
My next Plat will be Uncharted 2. I want to do that for the 1st game as well,(I have 1/2 of them for both games) but the 1st Uncharted kicked my butt on hard.. So crushing mode I don't know.

I think I might be able to get my first on Smackdown vs. Raw 2010.

I will definitely try to get a platinum for Uncharted 2 once I get the game. My next one for now I wanna try and get will probably be Dead Space or Ghostbusters.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
The only other game I have a platinum on is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
...I don't play multiplatform games on PS3.

Think my 1st was Burnout Paradise. Hardest so far has been Dead Space probably because I had to go through 3 times and it's not the quickest game to go through.

Bioshock...it's actually one of the easier ones, they give you WAY too many supplies and money and stuff, it's almost impossible to run out of health packs.
I'm finding Uncharted 1 very frustrating to platinum, I'm at Ch. 6 Crushing, I'm not finding it fun. Uncharted 2 is very fun though, so that Platinum shouldn't be as painful.

Uncharted, even though I'd already beaten it well before the trophy patch. Most of the ones I have were pretty simple; I was going to go for the one in Wet but I didn't care enough to play through that thing 4 times.

Second'd. Actually, it's not that I'm not obsessive enough, it's just that I don't give a shit. Most times when a trophy notification pops up on the screen, I go 'oh I got a trophy', then I go right back to the game and tend to ignore the rest of the pop-ups.

resistance 2. 10K ranked online kills . it was so annoying because i did it when there wasn't any of the more helpful patches. every time you had finished a game, it didnt auto spawn into next one.

My first and only Platinum is LittleBigPlanet. I am missing Uncharted 1 only by its Crushing difficulty trophy... I played the first Uncharted prior to patch and then came back to do some of the trophies (i.e. playing it 3-4 times)... just didn't have it in me to play it a 4-5 time... maybe 6 months to a year later I will go back and finish it.

IMO you shouldn't have to play through a game 3 4 5 times to get a platinum. Thats just the developer not being creative enough... Even if I was a teenager in high school with near unlimited time 100's of hours doing a menial task to get a trophy to get a platinum is just silly...

Agreed. Forcing the player to play through multiple times is not 1. cool, 2. going to happen (for me at least), and 3. likely to make me not want to buy any other games by that developer. Demon's Souls, while fun, is likely to remain Platinum-less for me because I'm not going to play through 3-4 times to get everything. I have other games to play...

If achievments and trophies had been around when I was younger and in my "gaming prime" (had much more time to play) I would probably have more of them.
I hate it when a game requires on-line play to get platinum.
Some games it's a challange just to find time to complete the single player and with many games you have a limited "window" for on-line play. I might get the games months down the road on a CAG deal but by then there's very few players logged on to play with.

10-29-2009, 01:56 PM
Mine was super easy, it was the sega genesis collection. I am one trophy shy of wanted. I have to find one more collectable an have gone through every level over and over with a guide and can't find what I'm missing. Could it be a glitch?

I agree. I hate online achievements and trophies. For instance I know I will never get Band vs Band on any guitar hero game because not enough people play them and also matchmaking sucks.
Never. I will get up to around 70-80% just to not platinum a game. I'm spiteful and I will never have a platinum. Infact I'm thinking of getting 99% on some games just out of spite.

Haha... forgot about that. Thanks a lot!
Personally, I like games that have multiple play throughs required. Just because I don't get to buy all the games that come out and it adds replay value to the games I do have. I used to never play through a game on the hard difficulty setting, now I look forward to it. If you have tons of stuff to play, I can see it being tedious though.

10-29-2009, 03:22 PM
I see alot of you guys got it from fallout 3. Is it that easy to get a platinum for it?
IMO I do think the trophy/achivement system is a good way to get most out of a game. Yeah you have to go through multiple playthroughs but I just like the fact that for being a perfectionist that you get some regonizition for it especially for single player games. Although I do agree that when it involves being online to get a few it's BS like for killzone 2 or Unreal 3.

thats one thing you have to give capcom props for not forcing you to get the mp dl to get a platinum trophy. that aside i thought thee trophies were going to be incorporated into home somehow ( like youd have a trophy room with 3d trophies in it ).

Out of mine, Burnout was probably the easiest and quickest. Fallout 3 is not a hard one... it just takes a LOT of gameplay to get it. Fallout is a good example of a game where you can get every trophy on one playthrough and get a TON out of the game.

Mine was Burnout Paradise. For the Guitar Hero games, I hate that i have to have a GH Drum or you can't do the drum tutorial and thus,can't get the tutorial trophy. Everyone I know either doesn't have it or has only the guitars for GH.

Does it require a specific USB cam, like the PS EYE, or could you use an old ass Eyetoy from the PS2? If so, $5 @ Gamestop and 7 day return period and there ya go.

I wish Metal Gear Solid 4 had trophies. I played the fuck out of that game! The only reason I got the Ghostbusters platinum was because I truly enjoyed the game and I still play it now. From what I've read from the Ghostbusters thread people that want the platinum are having a hard time finding enough players on-line to get it.
To me it seemed like the on-line population exploded for a few weeks after the patch came out then it completely died.
How hard it the RE4 platinum to get? That's another game I'm looking forward to picking up soon.

This would work.
How come?
If there's a multiplatform game I want to play, I get it/play it on the Xbox 360. It was the first console I had (this gen), and I decided the PS3 and Wii would be used for their exclusives only.
Plus, I actually prefer Achievements over Trophies anyway.

to get all the trophies in one play thru you have to bend the rules a little but it not impossible and its worth it. Not a game where you get one silver trophy for 423523434 online kills egads I hate those....

I'm going to go ahead and count my chicken before it hatches. I just finished Uncharted 2 on crushing and now just have to find all the treasures, get some more kills with two guns, and then 10 1-punch kills in a row. None of those will be very difficult, just a matter of time. I couldn't beat Uncharted 1 on crushing, otherwise that would have been my first platinum. I'm closing in on a platinum in inFamous, Dead Space, and Resident Evil 5. I just get burned out and have to change games fairly often.
