I like the concept of your Platinum Journey series. It's very entertaining and emphasising both the fun and the struggles behind trophy hunting. I would like to see more of these, perhaps on something much more challenging, though, like MGS2 for example. :)
Thank you for the kind words. Oh, if you want a challenging episode, watch the Dead Space 2 one. I have thought about doing MGS 2 and 4 when the time is right. They are a monumental undertaking.
Adam McDermott you need to do many play throughs for the dog tags and do all 500VR missions it’s not hard just time consuming MGS4 is also pretty difficult conisdering you need to do 8 playthroughs
@@Woods4guns And that's not the hardest part. VR missions can be quite difficulty at times. MGS2 is my favorite game of all time, but stuff like holding up invisible guards with an M4 was annoying, lol.

@@danielfield1606 Yeah the "RPG the shit out of that spot and pull our the directional microphone" move. I think I ended up doing that for the two bastard Kerotans on the airport runway
I just completed it on the vita and missed a/ some frog(s), I got everything else. I don't mind doing a second playthrough where I play freely (not bothering about playing non lethal or collecting animals and all that) because I really enjoyed the game Im never doing mgs2 tho, everyone who's gotten that on the vita without using trophy hacks is a legend
You think that's bad, you should try getting all the yoshis on the 3ds version. That game runs at about 15 fps at the best of times. An absolute nightmare
Adam I was just about to go to sleep, guess that's being delayed by 24 minutes. Glad you're back though, missed your uploads hope your travels were fun!
I came back to this video after I got my platinum for this game a few days ago, definitely the most fun I’ve had with a metal gear solid game besides mgs4.
Great idea for a series. I got this platinum last November and I combined the Markhor, Kerotan and zero kills run into my final one. It was not so much hard, just nerve wrecking when you get to the final scorecard screen and all you can do is hope you did it right but you can't be certrtain... Thanks for sharing that moment when the trophies popped. That made it all worth it for me at least. Also wish me luck, i'm really close to the platinum on MGS2 right now...
This is peak trophy hunting content, being entertaining to watch, he isn't just describing every step of the journey, and he isn't showing gameplay reactions to pad out the time (like he does nowadays). This is the reason I got into trophy hunting because it showed me that it was fun.
I'm honoured you like this episode so much and it got you into trophy hunting. Interesting you think I use gameplay reactions to pad out time. That is not the intention. Could you give me an example of an episode where you felt that? Any feedback is welcomed.
@@AdamMcDermott an example is the Devil May Cry video, that one sometimes it felt like I was just watching gameplay, especcialy in the nero Vergil part.
@@facanadio That's fair. I wanted to show the struggle and strategy. His third phase is one of the toughest bosses I've ever faced. Can understand your perspective of wanting to get on with things. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
For the medical plant part, if you want to make space, you can easily throw a grenade near you to get an injury and use all the items to cure it (the ones that don't cure it) to make up space for your plants. Hope that helps anyone!
Yup one of the best games in history at least for me. My one playthrough platinum. Only trouble was the 64 kerotans trophy. Took many retries near the end when you on the run via bike chase. Other then that is fair easy.
Will have to earn the platinum for the MGS2 SoL. Will take me a loooong time. Many playthroughs. But at least I will have it on the go for my PS Vita. Sorry for my terrible english.
New sub and loving this series! As for the wheelchair exploding - all bosses have bombs on them, which go off when killed - I can't remember the exact reason, I think it's because they were all part of a secret govt organisation, and agreed that no trace of them could be left upon death - hence why all bosses in MGS3 explode upon death :)
@AdamMcDermott Yes, almost every main character and boss in the game is there by secret and if found would essentially kick off World War 3 so they explode as a way to leave no trace. It's also a reference to the graphical limitations on Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 where most bosses would appear to just explode and disappear when defeated. Just finding your channel and am binge watching. Great work!
Hey Adam, you probably won't be reading this, but I'd like you to know that your videos have become something like a safe haven to me over the years. I discovered your channel in 2017 I believe and I still check out your Platinum Journeys from time to time, especially when I'm depressed or ill. I actually started trophy hunting because of your videos (currently working on Number 68). I imagine it would be a great experience to have a cold one with you in a pub and just talk about our favourite games. I just wanted to thank you and keep up the good work mate!
I read everything, buddy. I'm honoured my series has become a safe haven for you. Help cheer you for a bit or provide comfort. Also honoured you started trophy hunting because of me. You actually have more platinums than I do now - I'm around 54. Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them. Don't worry, I'll be making Platinum Journey for a long time to come. Plan on covering the PS6.
It’s so interesting to go back and watch how you’ve improved over the years. I just recently found your channel and haven’t seen a video yet that I haven’t liked.
Welcome to the channel. Big compliment that you have been liking my videos so much. Yeah, it is cool seeing how far the videos have come and all the little improvements.
I just watched your MGS4 Platinum video and we are indeed suckin diesel today bai... You're quar feckin young in this video though haha Love the videos bud! 👍❤️🇮🇪
Coming back after all these years when this was the first one you started from scratch now most if not all of the platinum journeys you do all start from scratch.
Yeah, that is a good detail. The episodes have gotten more ambitious. While doing this, there is no way I thought it would be possible to Metal Gear Solid 4.
I discovered the vomit thing back on PS2 completely by accident. I was just spinning him around in the survival viewer messing around, then went back to gameplay and got a surprise!
I just stumbled across your channel and as a fellow Irish man I must say that I love your content. P.S. Pro tip for anyone trying to platinum this game - use a rocket launcher to shoot the frogs during the motorcycle chase at the end, makes it a piece of cake.
The kerotan on the sign of the runway was a nightmare for me. Idk if it was editing, but looked as though you got it on your second try. Good on you mate.
His wheelchair explodes because aside from the boss (and I think the sorrow, considering the state of his remains in the game) all the cobra unit members carried microbombs in their bodies that would explode upon death. It's explained in a codec call, I think after killing the pain? So technically it's not that his wheelchair explodes, it's just that *he* explodes.
Hey @Adam McDermott. If you're struggling with the non lethal trophy, there's a work around where you can get away with the killing and still get the Peace Walker trophy. If you capture a poisonous animal alive, you can throw it at the guards to make it much easier. The guard will die of course. But it won't add to the kill count. The only enemies you've killed are that of the bosses at that point. This makes it alot easier especially on harder difficulties. Also one other thing. But I'd say it would take three initial playthroughs to unlock the platinum. If you're really skilled, it'll take two playthroughs. You're not going to be getting the platinum in one playthrough. This game was designed to be played a few times over. You also have to worry about getting all Camos including the uniforms and Face Paint. Using a Non lethal on Bosses also unlocks their default camouflage uniforms. The only acception is the end boss. You have to Sneak around him and hold him up. That and if you take him out non lethally, you get his Sniper tranq gun. Bosses also play into the Peace walker trophy. If you kill them, you won't get the trophy. You also have this Camouflage download thing a mijig. That also has way more Camouflage uniforms or Face paints. If you get all 64 frogs, you unlock the stealth Camo which isn't in the survival viewer inventory. It's in your items. You will probably have to play the game two more times to get the Platinum.
@@AdamMcDermott Haha the agony has already begun! Haha! Alright! Plan of action! You inspired this... Currently playing 2 and 3 for xbox got 15 achievements left and its the grindy ones! Clean that up! Then double down my friend! Gonna get a cheap Ps3 and clean it up again on that platform then get onto MGS 4, wish me luck! Cheers! Ill update ya next year haha!
Just rewatching this as it's 1 of my favourite videos on one of my favourite games, as for when did I figure out snake would get sick if I spun him around I believe the 1st time I figured it out was on my 2nd playthrough on the Ps2 at the end of the game when you're escorting Eva after she gets hurt coming off the bike haha great times. Also the whole Raiden thing I believe is just if you played MGS1 1st you hated him as I played it about 50 times before MGS2 came out and I couldn't wait for it but when they replaced Snake I was so mad, it wasn't on till years later I realised MGS2 was a good game I put it above MGSGZ and MGSTPP.
The additional of spinning Snake making him sick is so absurd and hilarious. Interesting. Yeah, if you replayed MGS 1 and adored Snake it would be so annoying. I believe that was Kojima's intention though. Raiden is such a wimp compared to Snake. When you meet him later he even has "infinite ammo" thanks to the headband. Annoying at the time of release but fascinating game in hindsight.
@@AdamMcDermott aw I was so pissed off, the whole time I played the game at a boss battle I was like I'm going to take control over snake soon because in all the trailers you'd see snake fighting them all, I remember loading up the demo disc with the videos on it to double check snake was in the trailers ha
About to tackle this... have only ever played the original MG (NES), MGS (ps1) and VR Missions. How does the non lethal playthrough work, if you have to defeat the bosses?
Decided to give you an update on my Metal Gear Solid 4 platinum run. In case you didn’t know, the game requires a minimum of 8 play throughs to get the platinum. This is because all 40 emblems need to be collected in order to receive two IPod songs required for a gold trophy. I made the decision to tackle the Chicken Emblem first, which requires a play through exceeding 35 hours. During this run I’d spend time getting collectibles, working on several miscellaneous trophies and emblems, and becoming familiar with the levels and controls which are different from MGS 2 and 3. I also watched all the cutscenes, allowing myself to enjoy the story and get a trophy for watching all the flashbacks. For my 2nd play through, I decided to do a Big Boss practice run. I’d attempt a no alerts, no kills run on a lower difficulty to practice some techniques for the hardest difficulty. I also worked on getting a few more of the miscellaneous trophies I had missed the first time. Unfortunately I accidentally killed an enemy during the last chapter and failed to get a no kills run, but I did manage a no alerts run. For my 3rd run I decided to tackle Big Boss Extreme. This would make or break my run. Let me tell you, the jump from Hard to Extreme was huge. Luckily, there is no limit on saves in MGS 4 as in previous game’s Big Boss Modes. So I took each section between checkpoints as its own challenge and managed to get through Act One, only to hit a brick wall. What I didn’t notice is that Snake starts the game equipped with a ration he automatically used when hit in the first few minutes of the game. So despite getting through Act 1 with no alerts or kills, I had locked myself out of a Big Boss Emblem. Fortunately, trophy hunting has taught me to keep multiple saves, so I decided to start my play through over, but I’d work on a different emblem and practice some more before taking another crack at Big Boss Extreme. I finally got my no kills run, and got all the collectibles but those last two Ipod songs. So I’m sitting at 91% of trophies, but I still need 5 more play throughs, including a Big Boss Extreme run to get the platinum. So close, yet so far, but I know that I’m not going to give up. I can achieve this platinum, and I’ll be sure to let you know when I do!
@@DiamondDogApollo Thanks for the update. Yeah, I'm aware of the 8 playthroughs. Huge undertaking. Oof, that is rough on your Big Boss attempt. I admire your preservation. Best of luck to you and definitely keep me posted.
18:35 When you shoot it and don't collect the trophy. After missing them, going to the main menu and reloading much times, on the sidecar's parts. Losing a lot of time and mental sanity. I HATE KEROTANS! And also the Hidden R1 Ocelot Scene behind the President. I tried to watch him in the perfect centre of the sceen, or to turn my Snake's head on the maximum left... no trophy.
I plan to platinum these next year. I just broke my record for platinums achieved in a year (19 vs last years 16), so I’m saving these for then. Looking forward to hating myself over these though! Although, there is a trophy in the Evil Within DLC for killing the main villain before he’s supposed to die.
@@bizzlierYep. Going to cover The Last of Us Part I this summer and have a little self reflection. Pretty cool making something for a decade and for it to be more popular every year.
This game is so hard to Platinum becuase of all the collectibles that you have to grab and if you miss a camo you lose out on the Fashionista achievement.
I know one other game where you can create a time paradox, it is modern warfare Remastered (COD4 respectively) after shooting zakhaev, you can also shoots makarov on a backseat of a car :D he is the antagonist of the following games MW2 and MW3
@@uziiii.-.999 Recording the MGS4 episode, buddy. Finally almost finished. Also got a new video coming out today trying to create the perfect trophy list for God of War Ragnarok.
That is a tough one. Splinter Cell is easier to follow story-wise and the gameplay is excellent. However, the utter absurdness of Metal Gear Solid is one of a kind. I'd happily play both.
How can you do it in 1 play through if you’re supposed to complete with 0 kills, and also kill the end before the boss fight?! Also it looked like you also killed the guard while killing the End.
Funny thing is when you mentioned, you don't know another game that rewards you with a Trophy for creating a Time Paradox, a year later CoD Modern Warfare Remastered released, where you also get a Trophy for creating one xD
I don’t think that accidental drowning counts as a death. You can dispose of the bodies in the quick sand, shoot explosive barrels, and knock them off of the bridge and they don’t count as kills
You can only stun or tranq an enemy, now if that enemy is riding a bike or in the air vehicle and they happen to crash into a canyon and die then it’s not your fault.
I'm sad that im doing thiss trophy now but i killed someone without knowing so i got all the trophies except PEACE WALKER so now i need to replay the game to get it
Slight correction about The End, you asked why does his wheelchair explode, it doesn't. The End himself explodes just like all the other Cobras but since he's sitting in his wheelchair at the time...well.
I like the concept of your Platinum Journey series. It's very entertaining and emphasising both the fun and the struggles behind trophy hunting. I would like to see more of these, perhaps on something much more challenging, though, like MGS2 for example. :)

I wonder if you'll do Master Collection this will be quite rage inducing for FOXHOUND
I won't be, but do fancy covering MGS1.
I honestly think you should have more subscribers. The content is very well organised, the struggles and completion of trophies are well conveyed.
Thank you for the kind words. Don't worry, regardless of subscriber number, I'll keep making episodes of Platinum Journey :)
So after watching you do this and 2 i have re downloaded it to attempt to suffer abit to get them done! Haha cheers!
I aplogise for your future agony :)
@@AdamMcDermott Haha the agony has already begun! Haha! Alright! Plan of action! You inspired this... Currently playing 2 and 3 for xbox got 15 achievements left and its the grindy ones! Clean that up! Then double down my friend! Gonna get a cheap Ps3 and clean it up again on that platform then get onto MGS 4, wish me luck! Cheers! Ill update ya next year haha!
@@NickGould50687 Oh my that is a lot! Best of luck to you, sir.
Well! That action plan is put to a halt Been on a dead space kick waiting for Calisto protocol! Hope to see that one in a future episode!
Goodluck beating the rays in extreme. I still can't beat em
15:23
MJF approves
Just rewatching this as it's 1 of my favourite videos on one of my favourite games, as for when did I figure out snake would get sick if I spun him around I believe the 1st time I figured it out was on my 2nd playthrough on the Ps2 at the end of the game when you're escorting Eva after she gets hurt coming off the bike haha great times.
Also the whole Raiden thing I believe is just if you played MGS1 1st you hated him as I played it about 50 times before MGS2 came out and I couldn't wait for it but when they replaced Snake I was so mad, it wasn't on till years later I realised MGS2 was a good game I put it above MGSGZ and MGSTPP.
The additional of spinning Snake making him sick is so absurd and hilarious.
Interesting. Yeah, if you replayed MGS 1 and adored Snake it would be so annoying. I believe that was Kojima's intention though. Raiden is such a wimp compared to Snake. When you meet him later he even has "infinite ammo" thanks to the headband.
Annoying at the time of release but fascinating game in hindsight.
@@AdamMcDermott aw I was so pissed off, the whole time I played the game at a boss battle I was like I'm going to take control over snake soon because in all the trailers you'd see snake fighting them all, I remember loading up the demo disc with the videos on it to double check snake was in the trailers ha
@@aarontoal Oh yes. I forgot about the trailers. That was a mighty bait and switch. I understand your frustration.
13:28 Yes just like that Vietnamese Cop in Vietnam said to the judge. The civilian on the bus block his kick with their face.
About to tackle this... have only ever played the original MG (NES), MGS (ps1) and VR Missions. How does the non lethal playthrough work, if you have to defeat the bosses?
You have a tranquilizer gun which can defeat them by reducing their stamina.
No this video is not 8 years old and you are not a MGS freak like me. Congrats bro your content deserves better views .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Time flies, buddy. Cheers. That is nice of you to say.
In modern warfare remastered you can create a paradox by sniping the main villain of the future games and earn an achievement
Yep. At the time of making this video, Modern Warfare remastered hadn't been released. I've been at this a looooong time.
Just finished up this platinum over the weekend. Did it in one shot. Shooting frogs from the bike was the hardest part. Now on to MGS 4!
Yeah, those damned frogs are tricky. Best of luck with MGS 4. That is a mighty platinum.
Thanks! I’m about 20 hours into my first run (need 35 hours just for the chicken emblem). I’ll update you when I’ve got the platinum or I’ve given up.
@@DiamondDogApollo Nice. Cheers, keep me posted.
Decided to give you an update on my Metal Gear Solid 4 platinum run. In case you didn’t know, the game requires a minimum of 8 play throughs to get the platinum. This is because all 40 emblems need to be collected in order to receive two IPod songs required for a gold trophy.
I made the decision to tackle the Chicken Emblem first, which requires a play through exceeding 35 hours. During this run I’d spend time getting collectibles, working on several miscellaneous trophies and emblems, and becoming familiar with the levels and controls which are different from MGS 2 and 3. I also watched all the cutscenes, allowing myself to enjoy the story and get a trophy for watching all the flashbacks.
For my 2nd play through, I decided to do a Big Boss practice run. I’d attempt a no alerts, no kills run on a lower difficulty to practice some techniques for the hardest difficulty. I also worked on getting a few more of the miscellaneous trophies I had missed the first time. Unfortunately I accidentally killed an enemy during the last chapter and failed to get a no kills run, but I did manage a no alerts run.
For my 3rd run I decided to tackle Big Boss Extreme. This would make or break my run. Let me tell you, the jump from Hard to Extreme was huge. Luckily, there is no limit on saves in MGS 4 as in previous game’s Big Boss Modes. So I took each section between checkpoints as its own challenge and managed to get through Act One, only to hit a brick wall. What I didn’t notice is that Snake starts the game equipped with a ration he automatically used when hit in the first few minutes of the game. So despite getting through Act 1 with no alerts or kills, I had locked myself out of a Big Boss Emblem. Fortunately, trophy hunting has taught me to keep multiple saves, so I decided to start my play through over, but I’d work on a different emblem and practice some more before taking another crack at Big Boss Extreme. I finally got my no kills run, and got all the collectibles but those last two Ipod songs.
So I’m sitting at 91% of trophies, but I still need 5 more play throughs, including a Big Boss Extreme run to get the platinum. So close, yet so far, but I know that I’m not going to give up. I can achieve this platinum, and I’ll be sure to let you know when I do!
@@DiamondDogApollo Thanks for the update.
Yeah, I'm aware of the 8 playthroughs. Huge undertaking.
Oof, that is rough on your Big Boss attempt.
I admire your preservation. Best of luck to you and definitely keep me posted.
When I was getting the platinum I got to the end of the playthrough and had 1 kill.
Oof, that is rough.
18:35 When you shoot it and don't collect the trophy. After missing them, going to the main menu and reloading much times, on the sidecar's parts. Losing a lot of time and mental sanity.
I HATE KEROTANS!
And also the Hidden R1 Ocelot Scene behind the President. I tried to watch him in the perfect centre of the sceen, or to turn my Snake's head on the maximum left... no trophy.
Yeah, those kerotans are a pain.
@@AdamMcDermott You shoot a kerotan. It explodes.
BOOM! PAIN pain pain...
8:31 when a Cobra dies their microbomb explodes to keep enemies from researching their bodies I guess
Yep, someone else also pointed out. News to me.
7:07 if only I could go back to my past I can still be date someone but no
you have only 5k subs? the whole video was entertaining & funny
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered has a time paradox trophy where you kill Makarov thus preventing the results of Modern Warfare 2 and 3
That came out after I made this episode. Shows how long I've been making the series :)
@@AdamMcDermott yep scary how fast time goes when you’re having fun
I plan to platinum these next year. I just broke my record for platinums achieved in a year (19 vs last years 16), so I’m saving these for then. Looking forward to hating myself over these though!
Although, there is a trophy in the Evil Within DLC for killing the main villain before he’s supposed to die.
19 is one year is impressive. Fair play to you!
Well done
Thanks.
15 47 is it weird that I know this background song as MJF the wrestlers theme music in aew
Not weird at all. Caught me off guard when he debuted and was using a cheap royalty free song. Work for him though. Excellent wrestler.
Adaaaaam
We miss you!
+THEMANN20001 Don't worry, new episode of Platinum Journey this Wednesday featuring Uncharted 3 :)
Holy shit. 15 mins in..... MJF theme!
Was freaky for me hearing it a few later when AEW started. Wonder how many others have royalty free music.
I'm about to go through this platinum journey myself kinda nervous about missing any of the frog's or not killing anyone
Best of luck. If I can do it, I'm sure you can too.
@@AdamMcDermott thank you this will be my 100th platnum
@@AdamMcDermott I just got the platnum I'm so freaking happy I have 100 now
@@cassiebarber4669 Congratulations!
what collectible guide did you use? i cannot find any with all camo facepaints and kerotans in one lol
Here was the guide I used for everything - www.playstationtrophies.org/game/metal-gear-solid-3-snake-eater-hd/guide/
I thought you missed recapturing the Tsuchinoko after scaping.
Hey adam, MGS3 Remake was announced!! Will you platinum it?
Depending on the trophy list. Certainly enticed.
Wow Adam looks so different here!
I've been making the show a loooooong time
@@AdamMcDermott I can tell man! I think you’ve been doing this for 10 years right?
@@bizzlierYep. Going to cover The Last of Us Part I this summer and have a little self reflection. Pretty cool making something for a decade and for it to be more popular every year.
This game is so hard to Platinum becuase of all the collectibles that you have to grab and if you miss a camo you lose out on the Fashionista achievement.
I know one other game where you can create a time paradox, it is modern warfare Remastered (COD4 respectively) after shooting zakhaev, you can also shoots makarov on a backseat of a car :D he is the antagonist of the following games MW2 and MW3
I didn't know that. Very cool. Thanks for the insight.
17:23
Aww, Fucking dumbass
Great video, Adam. You are my favorite channel. Thank you
Haha, it's been so long since I watched this episode. That bit is good for a laugh.
Cheers!
how long did this take please?? subbed :)
Will u platinum elden wings aka elden ring? Ayo i love ur vids. Excited for tje fourth game vid
Not sure about Elden Ring. I'm doing Sekiro this year so I'll see how that goes first.
@@AdamMcDermott yo where have you been?
@@uziiii.-.999 Recording the MGS4 episode, buddy. Finally almost finished.
Also got a new video coming out today trying to create the perfect trophy list for God of War Ragnarok.
@@AdamMcDermott YES EXCITED
Will u do ghost of Tshushima
you’re pretty good! 👉🏾👉🏾
Thank you very much!
8:23-8:35 my guess there was a bomb in the wheelchair just like in that breaking bad episode
Hey Adam what would you recommend more metal gear solid or splinter cell?
That is a tough one. Splinter Cell is easier to follow story-wise and the gameplay is excellent. However, the utter absurdness of Metal Gear Solid is one of a kind. I'd happily play both.
Adam McDermott fair enough 😊
The kerotans on the bike chase section is a sin
100% agree.
How can you do it in 1 play through if you’re supposed to complete with 0 kills, and also kill the end before the boss fight?! Also it looked like you also killed the guard while killing the End.
Save, kill The End, reload, carry on. Yep, I made a mistake at some point I think. Another reload.
@@AdamMcDermott gotcha!
Modern warfare remastered has a time paradox trophy but that game was released a year after this video.
Good to know. Thanks for checking the date of the video :)
If you don't kill anyone, the fight with The Sorrow is simple. It's just a long walk.
I saw some clips of that. Really interesting. What a wonderful game.
7:10 Modern Warfare Remastered!
It didn't exist at the time of the video being made ;)
Adam McDermott oh yeh one year after, didn’t realise :)
@@tonygledhill3654 No worries :)
Funny thing is when you mentioned, you don't know another game that rewards you with a Trophy for creating a Time Paradox, a year later CoD Modern Warfare Remastered released, where you also get a Trophy for creating one xD
Freaky, haha.
I still get people correcting me about that. I have to direct them to the release date of the episode :)
I don’t think that accidental drowning counts as a death. You can dispose of the bodies in the quick sand, shoot explosive barrels, and knock them off of the bridge and they don’t count as kills
I'm 99% sure it does count as a kill. Guides told me to be careful because it can ruin a run.
@@AdamMcDermott damn that must of sucked. I like how you still respond after these years (:
You can only stun or tranq an enemy, now if that enemy is riding a bike or in the air vehicle and they happen to crash into a canyon and die then it’s not your fault.
Tempted this platinum seems do able but I could be very wrong!!
+mnmgaming It is certainly doable. Keeping track of all the different things you have to do is the only tricky part.
Top man! Hope to see more of these types of videos!
I know its been seven years but if i remember correctly, knocking a soldier into water doesn't count as a kill, so that was an unfortunate restart.
Oh, thought it better to restart anyway just to be sure. Thanks for the tip.
It's impossible to get all trophies in a single game as the CQC trophies require you to kill but there's a trophy for not killing anyone
Evidently not. I got the platinum in one playthrough.
2:46 Imagine the ps5 ver you can get spotted and play the game on extreme with insane requirements and under 5 hrs.
It is a mighty tempting challenge :)
Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Remastered has a time paradox that gives you a trophy
Check the date of the video. This was made before Modern Warfare Remastered was released.
I'm sad that im doing thiss trophy now but i killed someone without knowing so i got all the trophies except PEACE WALKER so now i need to replay the game to get it
Slight correction about The End, you asked why does his wheelchair explode, it doesn't. The End himself explodes just like all the other Cobras but since he's sitting in his wheelchair at the time...well.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
@@AdamMcDermott Do you plan on doing a trophy hunt for MGS4 Guns of the Patriots?
@@MrEffectfilms At some point, yes. It will be a while though.
