Great video. Everything you said in the first few minutes is exactly why I love Playstation. I play games since the late 70s but love gaming the same as in my youth. I even was a game developer for some years.
Great video man! would love to see a video going through all your platinums maybe not in this much detail for length purposes but i would love to see that
The reason boosting is so prevalent is because most online trophies are just not fun because they have some of the worst requirements. They just shouldn't put them in the game because the online servers will be shut down eventually making the trophies unobtainable.
Very well made video and everything was explained perfectly, you gained a new subscriber 👍🏼 Impressive list of plats! I've done some hard ones myself. From your list I would like to try Injustice 1 eventually. ESO seems like a cool game but the older we get, going for Emperor is just too painful, hats off to you for pulling that one off. If you need any Crypt tips let me know, I'm only missing one trophy for the plat and I've been streaming my journey as well!
I am sad that Batman Arkham Origins has online trophies because now they're impossible to get and I wanted to 100% the whole Arkham franchise. I lie to myself and say it doesn't count because it wasn't made by Rocksteady, but deep down I still feel like there is a huge void. All thanks to those silly MP trophies.
I feel your pain! There are a lot of games that I wish I could have platinumed that are now forever unobtainable, which is why I'm focusing so heavily on my backlog to clean up older games before they become harder or impossible to complete.
Audio was the hardest part, between voiceovers, background noise/music, trying to equalize it all... hopefully the next program I use makes this easier
@@Poindexter2291 the audio is incredible I would say though 55 mins for a top 10 is quite long but it’s still a great video and it shows that u put the effort in
as someone about a decade younger than you, i'm curious if you have any words of wisdom for me. i've been gaming since i was about 3, and its one of my biggest passions and hobbies in my life. and i've been recently getting into achievement and platinum grinding as well. i have a good job, a degree and i don't cause any trouble. however, many people in my life say that playing video games is a total waste of my life and time, and it does make me feel quite bad, even though i know they are probably watching tv and scrolling facebook every day. i was just wondering if maybe you have had any similar issues with those around you, and if you have any wisdom for a fellow gamer. also great video! keep it up!
Hello, Great question, I'll do my best to answer truthfully! As with all things, it's important to have balance. If you have a college degree, a good job and are a productive member of society, don't let anybody make you feel guilty for having or enjoying hobbies! Trophy hunting is often seen as a grindy and very time consuming hobby, but it doesn't need to be taken to that extreme. For example, you can choose to only go for platinums in your favorite games as a casual enjoyer of games. I take it to the extreme with some of these games, and so do some other trophy hunters. I have a bit of an obsession over it and have for many years. I would not call my level of obsession "healthy," but I also don't think it's dangerous or making me a "bad citizen." I recognize the fact that there are other, more "productive" things I could do with my time, but I don't have a wife or kids and this is what I enjoy doing, so I don't feel the least bit of guilt over it. I don't usually watch TV, I don't drink alcohol, I don't spend lavishly on things I don't need or can't afford.. there are much worse hobbies a person could have than video games. And like you, I have a college degree, a good job, relatively healthy, in good shape financially, etc. In my opinion, if you are meeting your obligations, paying your bills, and overall maintaining or improving your life and not hurting others, then what you do in your free time is completely up to you. Our lives are our own to live, nobody has a right to live them for us. Just make sure you know what you're giving up by playing video games, because the most valuable asset we have is time, and it's something we never get back. If you are constantly feeling like there are better things you could/should be doing, or feel like you're missing out on life, then maybe it is time for some self-reflection and evaluate what is really important for you. But if you're enjoying your hobby and can prevent it from turning into an addiction, then I wish you luck in your future trophy hunting endeavors :).
In short, I’d say just do what makes you happy. I feel you, I’ve been there, but I also like hanging out with my friends and doing stuff together. If you look for people with similar hobbies near your area you’ll eventually find someone who supports what you do, both in your professional and private life. Getting judged because of your hobbies is pure nonsense, if somebody does that you’re probably better off without them
If I may... A real answer would help consider the notion of game, what it should be, at what need it should answer, with the perspective of life on regards to its purpose, where it leads us. At this regard it would help see where playing may be beneficial, what is really a ludic game for the best intent, while seeing when some productions are made to captivate our attention to capitalize on us, whether via money, time, attention, various psychological incitations. I only let this brief word to reassure, because I write on the subject, that to comprehend help free ourselves of the heavy feelings, while helping us see the best aspects of this leasure, also about our qualities. It is a subject worth of attention, this said if there is need for an insight, the answer of the author of this video is pertinent; know that us, our time, our spirit is the highest value, so it is wise to be aware of the intentions. As many productions search to mobilise our time for a profit, it is useful to see that the challenges, online profile, ranking, requirements are arbitrary, so I would suggest to progressively take time, pauses to discern before to play if a game is good for us. With an attentive discernement, we may give us time to stay free, which is an important disposition to appreciate our given life. I hope this brief word may be seen positively, because there is to say...
Damn those are some impressive platinums. If you're up for an challenge feel free to attempt the year of the dragon challenge. All the yakuza games 0-8+gaiden platinum within 1 year. I used to think that having the preserverance to endure 1000 hours of meaningless content or damageless boss attempts in soulsgames was peak perfomance but man nothing comes close to mastering mahjong 🤣
@@agent_vucko thank you! I certainly did spend a lot of time on it but I'm brand new to video editing so I have a lot to learn. I expect my videos to be of higher quality as I get more experience
cod w@w platinum giving me ptsd. Id say my hardest platinum was probably overwatch 1, says it took me over 3 years to get and that was my most played game at one point. Also, I got the plat back before they reworked some of the hero's, making their trophies way easier, like zen and symmetra. Little big planet was also incredibly frustrating, completing every mission without dying and getting every item as a solo player (it required 4 controllers)
I don't usually stream but I might end up streaming some harder games down the road if there is interest. I am working on Vanquish, Cuphead and Sekiro right now as my next 3 games which I'm not sure are worthy of streams, but as I get into more of the 10/10 difficulty games I may start.
Ac syndicate was probably my least favorite for all achievements if I finished black flag it would probably be tied because both have the multiplayer achievements
Ive done so many goddamn platnuims as far as the worst it's by far hotline miami 1 and 2. The first ones difficult af But the second Jesus fuck bro. There's a trophy in the second for a getting a perfect score on every level and it's called 1-800-goddamn
This was a really well done video! Keep it up!
Thank you, I appreciate that!

When you said ”I was basically playing it from the time i woke up to the time i went to bed, and even if I was asleep I was dreaming about it” 😂😂😂
Respect homie that Max payne 3 is an incredible plat ! I’d love to get it but servers offline I think
ESO is much easier to platinum now. If you play yellow in the under 50 people will help you get the plat.

Can you do a video of you going through all your platinums pls 🙏 I like seeing other peoples collections
@@beolikespoo I'm at 277 right now so that could end up being a long one 😂

@@Riksgor I haven't done Fortnite, but I think it's not too hard, just very time consuming. Emperor is a different beast 😄
Definitely is
You should put chapters for people like me that like to skim through videos. Great vid tho 👍
Done, I thought it did it automatically but I needed to add a stamp at 00:00 and then it worked. Thank you
