Here's to hoping that the recent popularity surge for achievement/trophy hunting videos starts to get Adam the recognition he's deserved for years. Keep up the great work my friend :)
I got the plat for this game not too long ago, man that three headed Cerberus towards the end of the game on titan difficulty was stressful and not to mention the challenges you have to do after all the story related trophies
Beautiful video Adam i hope you play Chains of Olympus and ghost of Sparta and make videos on those can't wait for that Resident Evil 3 video keep up the great content
YES! Been waiting for this! I remember when I first bought this game, I bought it on PS3 however I never played it because a couple months later, it was announced for PS4. I was so mad lol.
Thank you for episode Adam ! It seems Zeus was after you in game and irl at the end ^^ Congratulations for the platinums of all the God of war. You will be ready for Ragnarok in few months :)
The only classic GOW game I've been able to play. Funny seeing the similarities and differences in our platinum journeys. I went through on Titan first, definitely a challenge, and later cleaned up on Spartan. The Challenge of Olympus was fairly easy, but I also got stuck on the same one. I just went around it until I had no other choice. Definitely a rough one and I don't even remember how I did it. Congrats on the platinum!
God of war 3 was my first platinum that I managed to get, so congrats on yours too! :D I just completed platinum on Resident Evil 3 and I had a fun time with that game, the only hard part was probably the final Boss on the 2 hardest difficulties. But I know you can do it, so good luck Adam! Love from Sweden :)
@@AdamMcDermott The worst part about the last Nemesis fight was that he could so easily stunlock you and if you couldn't avoid his attack you were screwed because you unfortunately can't open your inventory at any time. I failed many times because of it, but it felt so good once I did beat him, it was like beating a difficult Dark Souls boss haha XD Oh I can't wait for that video to come out! :D I know you play one main series Resident Evil game a year, but will you ever play non-main series ones like Code Veronic X, Zero, Revelations 1 & 2 or any other? :)
So pumped for a new episode! I started work on what will hopefully be my Halloween platinum. Inspired by you Adam, I’m finally taking a dive into the Resident Evil series! Though I'm starting with 0 instead of 1. Im Usually not big on multiple play throughs, but here we go!
Thank you. Pacing is important to me. Rather a video be 16 minutes and good than try to hit some arbitrary number of minutes. Ragnarok will be a huge episode :)
Nice, Adam. Well done and very entertaining to watch. Thank you for sharing your suffering with us. It is cool to see someone achieve the thing I want to achieve myself. I’ve been putting off my Platinum runs for a while now. God of War 3 blew me away the first time I played it but I feel like it won’t be the same magic this time around. (The opening of the game is still one of the sickest moments in videogame history.) I have done RE3 Remake this year after being not sure about it (and mediocre reviews). This will be an easier challenge for sure. I had a lot of fun. Looking forward to it.
Thank you. I liked RE3 more than RE2, understand that is different from reviews. That episodes is recorded and I'll be diving into post-production next week :)
@@AdamMcDermott That’s a surprise! I wouldn’t go this far. RE2 > RE3 (in my opinion) but I can see why you are feeling this way. Love your post-production and can’t wait for the next Platinum Journey.
Playing on Titan & getting the plat in one playthrough is definitely the way to go. Like you I still wanna play GoW 2018 on give me god of war mode before Ragnarok. And though it was frustrating at times (those challenges can fuck off!!) it felt like a real accomplishment...
Glad to see that you have finished the original trilogy adam I will be doing the new god of war game just in preparation of God of War Ragnarok on PS5 cheers to trophy hunting man can't wait for Resident Evil 3 next
I have no idea how long a gaming session lasts but you need to take pauses more often, I am afraid. It took me more than 3 weeks to platinum this game (without playing every day, of course) but it feels like you are rushing through them in 2 days. Take your time and appreciate the games, mate. You taught me that. Keep it up, Adam!
Sessions are normally 2 hours. Got this platinum over 3 weeks too. Gives you an idea of just how grumpy I was with God of War III towards the end, haha. Don't worry, next episode is Resident Evil 3 and I had a great time with that.
yeah man these challenged of OLYMPUS were something different compared to the other challenges of olympus in the previous games . they really tried to get all of my energy out in gow 3
@@AdamMcDermott for me God Of War 1 has the most difficult one, where you have to do all of those in a row, you can't skip or save after completing one. At least in this one you can do these one by one and save. I remember back in the days God Of War 1 challages took me a lot to do it. Espescially the last one, where you are on the elevator and you have to keep killing to get up, but the enemies can kick you out of the ring and then there was the game over 😬.
@@PrinceKenway I found the Bare Hands challenge in God of War III a little bit harder than the challenge of doing them all in a row in God fo War, but certainly understand finding God of War I harder. They both suck, haha.
This was the first Gow I played and what reintroduced me to the franchise I play Gow 1 when I was a kid but it’s a very vague memory and never got far So far it’s only Gow 3 and Gow 4 are the only ones I played
Wonderful guide as always Adam. I just platinum the game myself. I not sure which was my favourite out of the trilogy but I still think that ares boss fight is still my favourite in the series so far. I platinum the whole trilogy and ascension. Which was really fun and also incredibly stressful with the hard play throughs. Challenges were a pain especially doing challenges of exile which were worse and glad there wasn’t a trophy for it). One thing that I did differently was playing the game on chaos mode rather than titan which was a lot harder especially boss fights(of Hades,Hermes and Zeus). will you at some point also do the spin off titles of chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta although they PSP titles they did port them to ps3 like with God of war 1 and 2. Keep up the good work and I begin God of war 4, once I taken a break finished some of my other games first.
Love GoW and totally agree Adam, the third game lacks something. I felt like the bulk of the game I was going through the motions too. However the emotionally charged character development Kratos goes through because of Pandora is some of the best I’ve ever experienced in gaming
Glad to hear I'm not alone. Yeah, the Pandora stuff was good. The reason I used her for the transition after presenting and gave her the final words :)
We all have certain game types we are better at than others. I'm solid at these type of games so it might appear easier for me than you found it. However, give me a first-person shooter and I'm dreadful, haha.
Hey adam! I dont know if you remember me from nearly a year ago now lol, but I was the guy who recommended you to platinum dead rising. Really hope to see you cover that game one day, but till then keep up the great work!
I'm going to be honest,the most satisfying trophy I've ever earned in any video game came from me playing GOW3,and the specific trophy was having to complete Pan's Labrynth without falling or dying or aMAZEd. This was like my 4th type replaying the story and I was just in a good groove by the time finished the Labrynth and I didn't even know about the trophy when it showed up.
It's not that difficult on easy, you can even save like 3 times during the labyrinth. If you die just reload from the last save. The funny thing about me is I missed it in my first run on easy back in the days (because first I want to enjoy the story), than I did it on hard without dying XD, it wasn't that painfull 😂.
I have two platinums on this game - PS3 and PS4. I had played so many times that I got the game on PS4 on a Tuesday release and had the platinum by Thursday. And that was only playing after work. Got everything on one playthrough on Hard then did the challenges.
@@AdamMcDermott Perfect. Glad to see you doing it. Solid game too. As long as they don't kill off Kratos in an out of character or unsatisfying way, we're good.
My favourite game on PS3, the game that I bought the PS3 for and with, one of my favourite game of all time, as it's an epic way to end a great trilogy. It's a boss rush, god after god, titan after titan. I never experienced something like this before and after I played it. It was and still is such an unique experience. Also I loved platinuming this aswell even though some of the challenges were really painfull. I was hoping you liked it more Adam, but it seems to me that you're only a big fan of the first God Of War (which is great, don't get me wrong) but the first God Of War I played was the second one, so I'm more attached to the two sequels. For me God Of War 2 & 3 are the best in the series.
@@JoeyNovo to be honest, I kinda agree with that statement. For me what God Of War 3 lacks is in the variety of locations/settings. For most part of the game, for me the settings are too dark. I mean at the begining of the game there supposed to be day time, and after you kills Helios the light dissapear, but for me it was same before and after Helios death 😂 lol. But the rest is just awesome, like how you could not get excited while killing Cronos? Which Adam didn't shown, and for me God Of War 2 & 3 offers the best story in the series. The meaing of vengeance, which is useless.Vengeance didn't gave anything back to Kratos, he suffered more and more, he was seeking for firgiveness, but before to get forgiven by others, you need to forgive yourself. Pandora is such a beautiful character, and the epilogue of this God Of War always sticked in my mind, Kratos gives the hope to all the humanity, because he was a human before being a god, and as Pandora said, is Hope what makes us strong. I'm sorry but I get emotional everytime I talk abiut this game, Is simply my childhood 😁
I think I'm in the minority of the first God of War being my favourite in the original series. To each their own, certainly understand why folks prefer the sequels.
I showed gameplay and panoramic shots of both Underworlds in the comparison. Fair to feel like I stiffed the game. I didn't show much of the story, unfortunately I just glazed over. Didn't have much to say.
@@AdamMcDermott I also love the first one, don't get me wrong. If we arrived at 8 games in the series today, is all thanks to the first one. But I just prefers the two sequels. Maybe because the first God Of War I've played was God Of War 2, after that I was so excited to see the ending/part 2 of the story. I think it was the first time I was seeing a videogame where the story was interupted (like Matrix Reloaded). After playing the second one, I played the first one and Chains Of Olympus. But the second one sticked in my mind. The story and the settings were so gorgeous. So back in 2010 I can say God Of War 3 lived to the hype for me. The fact with you is, I had the impression of you just liked the first God Of War and maybe you're not really a big fan of the series. I mean you had been critical for all the others one, you was a bit bored while playing God Of War 2, even this one didn't get you that much and even God Of War 4 if I'm not wrong you didn't really enjoyed the combat 😅. When for me finally the combat has it's own identity and techincality, it's not just roll and hit, you can make really masterpieces of combos etc... And there're lot of things to praise on God Of War 3 for me, like you've played the remastered version of it, but can you believe, that this game came out on Playstation 3 in 2010 and it's still impressive on PS3. The music score is just the best in the series for me (composed by Gerard Marino), espescially Rage Of Sparta, God Of War 3 Overture, Poseidon's Wrath, Pandora's Theme etc... But some critics I even agree with, like the settings variety on God Of War 3, useless ammount of collectibles in God Of War 4 and some little things here and there. But maybe you will come back to these, just to re-enjoy the story, and you will appreciate these more ;)
These challenges at least for me are very luck based.I remember how many hours it took me to complete them on the ps3 version.Then i played the remastered version and i started and completed them in 15 minutes.Just everything happened to be at the right place at right time.I didn't played them differently.
Never knew about the respawning red orb treasure chests exploit I already platinum’d this 4 years ago but might do this on ps3 since they patched out another exploit that wasn’t never patched on remastered
Hell yeah! Love your GOW platinum journeys! These games are so fun to play and to watch, do you have any plans on doing the plat for the PSP ones and Ascension?
Not sure if it was for dramatic effect or not but there actually are quite a few tricks/exploits that would've made the 'bare hands' challenge so much easier
Are you ever going to do ascension or the psp games (Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta) for the platinum journey? I love both psp titles at ascension is decent enough
Oh man, you really did not seem to have much fun with that one 😅 Doesn't really make the opposite any worse though! I like your honesty about the games.
Yeah, rather disappointing for me, unfortunately. Started off so excited too, haha. Yeah, better to be honest even if folks most certainly feel differently.
@@AdamMcDermott Yeah, I personally do, for example. Always thought of God of War 3 as my personal favorite, due to the amount of cool bosses you fight and the sense of finality it had. Maybe I'd think differently today if I were to replay them.
Total play time: 24 hours.
Next up: Resident Evil 3.
God of War Ragnarök will get an episode next year.
you doing re4r on release or waiting a bit?
@@powersslol RE4 HD and RE4 remake will be getting an episode next year. First half of the year.
Looking forward to your next video
@@powersslol It would be better to start with CodeName Veronica first
I think when your done with re3 you should try the devil may cry hd collection
The best feeling when you were not expecting a platinum journey episode on the weekend and Adam delivers
Hands down my favourite of the original trilogy, the first one has my nostalgia but this one has my heart
Here's to hoping that the recent popularity surge for achievement/trophy hunting videos starts to get Adam the recognition he's deserved for years.
Keep up the great work my friend :)
That is very nice of you to say. Thank you.
I find the recent popularity surge cool. I was ahead of the curve :)
Nothing beats when you're going for a specific platinum and you seen a platinum journey on that game as well, it's bliss
My Favorite in the Series an Hack and Slash MasterPiece and I’m Glad I Have The Platinum Trophy 🏆 for this Amazing Game
Can’t get enough of this channel! Keep up the good work you hero!
That thunder storm sounded serious. Glad you are okay.Those challenges are the epitome of frustration. Thank you for this journey.
That was Zeus trying to stop him XD
Didn't watched this when it came out, Amazing episode as always Adam.
Watch whenever you want, buddy. Glad you enjoyed it.
This channel is a hidden Gem. I’m watching all the videos. You’ll get 100k subs in no time.
Keep up the great work 👍
That is nice of you to say. Cheers!
I got the plat for this game not too long ago, man that three headed Cerberus towards the end of the game on titan difficulty was stressful and not to mention the challenges you have to do after all the story related trophies
Amazing video Adam, I have been waiting for this one, congratulations
Thank you very much!
I'm actually going for this platinum right now 😀
It’s always a good day when Adam uploads 🙏🏼
I second that. These Platinum Journey videos are some of the finest content here on RUclips.
@@obenohnebohne it really is
Beautiful video Adam i hope you play Chains of Olympus and ghost of Sparta and make videos on those can't wait for that Resident Evil 3 video keep up the great content
Thanks. I've already played the PSP games for fun but don't fancy them for episodes.
YES! Been waiting for this! I remember when I first bought this game, I bought it on PS3 however I never played it because a couple months later, it was announced for PS4. I was so mad lol.
This was the episode I was lookin forward to the most,I gasped when I saw this in my Notification Center
Yes! Well done man. 24 hours is a lot faster than I'd have expected, especially with Titan Mode
Cheers. Certainly could have done it in one playthrough.
@@AdamMcDermott Nah you need to beat the game at least once to unlock Titan Difficulty don't ya?
@@senseweaver01 Nope, it is available from the start. Chaos (Very Hard) needs to be unlocked.
@@AdamMcDermott Ohhhh okay my bad
@@senseweaver01 No worries. It can be confusing.
Hearing the thunder as he beat up Zeus has something powetic about it
Can't wait for an episode of God of war Ragnarok the story gameplay trailer looked amazing!
And keep up the good work man
Adam the legend! glad I support work of art projects like this in the patreon!
Thank you so much for your support!
Good of war 3 is my favourite game of all time and you made a great episode for it. Excited for RE3 and keep up the good work
Never been into GoW. But after watching the video I kinda want to explore another fantastic world!
What a video, Adam! Keep it up!
Thanks. The God of War series is well worth checking out.
YESSSSSS NEW PLATINUM JOURNEY!!! Love ya Adam keep up the good work! Legend!
The man is back with another platinum video! Great video and congratulations on the platinum
finally a video that is worth to watch while eating my fav meal (rice and cooked beef)
Hey Adam! Your channel always brings me joy I just thought I’d let you know
I'm delighted to hear that. Means a lot. Thank you.
Thank you for episode Adam ! It seems Zeus was after you in game and irl at the end ^^ Congratulations for the platinums of all the God of war. You will be ready for Ragnarok in few months :)
Zeus didn't like me criticising his game :)

Going straight to Titan is a good idea. Haha, we got stuck on the Challenge. glad I'm not alone.
God of war 3 was my first platinum that I managed to get, so congrats on yours too! :D
I just completed platinum on Resident Evil 3 and I had a fun time with that game, the only hard part was probably the final Boss on the 2 hardest difficulties.
But I know you can do it, so good luck Adam!
Love from Sweden :)
Nemesis on the hardest difficulties really pushed me. I'm now going back through all the footage. Recording is finished.
Love from Ireland :)
@@AdamMcDermott The worst part about the last Nemesis fight was that he could so easily stunlock you and if you couldn't avoid his attack you were screwed because you unfortunately can't open your inventory at any time.

Great video as always mate cannot wait for the ragnarok
Playing on Titan & getting the plat in one playthrough is definitely the way to go.
Like you I still wanna play GoW 2018 on give me god of war mode before Ragnarok.
And though it was frustrating at times (those challenges can fuck off!!) it felt like a real accomplishment...
Congrats man, It felt like ages since the last episode! Can’t wait for resi 3!
Been looking forward to this, thank you Adam! It’s a nice reward for finally getting the platinum for Alien Isolation.
Congrats on platinuming Alien: Isolation. That one can be tough.
Can't hide that XCOM 2 icon from me! Great showing as always!
War of the Chosen was on sale recently so I picked it up based on your recommendation. Guess I'm gonna have to dive in for another playthrough :)
I was literally thinking "huh I wonder when Adam is going to upload another platinum journey"
You are amazing my friend 👍
Haha, freaky timing!
Glad to see that you have finished the original trilogy adam I will be doing the new god of war game just in preparation of God of War Ragnarok on PS5 cheers to trophy hunting man can't wait for Resident Evil 3 next

I guess with that thunderstorm occurring you could say that you really pissed of Zeus there huh Adam? Nice job as always.
Haha, Zeus wasn't happy about me speaking ill of his game.
Well done, Adam! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Hey adam! I dont know if you remember me from nearly a year ago now lol, but I was the guy who recommended you to platinum dead rising. Really hope to see you cover that game one day, but till then keep up the great work!
I remember. Doubtful it will get an episode. So many great games, can't cover them all. I'm fully booked for the next three years.

Insane video adam I will give this a 9.0/10
That is high praise. I'm a bit soft on this episode, would give it a 5/10. It's okay in my opinion. God of War III just didn't click for me.
Great choice of games, this channel is awesome!
Thank you very much!
Great job Adam!

Great episode as always!! This was a beasty episode! Will you be doing the VITA versions at some point as well to complete your collection?
Nope. Played them and had fun but don't fancy those games for an episode.

Yep, Ragnarok will get an episode next year.

Pandora is such a beautiful character, and the epilogue of this God Of War always sticked in my mind, Kratos gives the hope to all the humanity, because he was a human before being a god, and as Pandora said, is Hope what makes us strong.
I'm sorry but I get emotional everytime I talk abiut this game, Is simply my childhood 😁
I think I'm in the minority of the first God of War being my favourite in the original series. To each their own, certainly understand why folks prefer the sequels.
I showed gameplay and panoramic shots of both Underworlds in the comparison.
Fair to feel like I stiffed the game. I didn't show much of the story, unfortunately I just glazed over. Didn't have much to say.
@@AdamMcDermott I also love the first one, don't get me wrong. If we arrived at 8 games in the series today, is all thanks to the first one. But I just prefers the two sequels. Maybe because the first God Of War I've played was God Of War 2, after that I was so excited to see the ending/part 2 of the story. I think it was the first time I was seeing a videogame where the story was interupted (like Matrix Reloaded). After playing the second one, I played the first one and Chains Of Olympus. But the second one sticked in my mind. The story and the settings were so gorgeous. So back in 2010 I can say God Of War 3 lived to the hype for me.
The fact with you is, I had the impression of you just liked the first God Of War and maybe you're not really a big fan of the series. I mean you had been critical for all the others one, you was a bit bored while playing God Of War 2, even this one didn't get you that much and even God Of War 4 if I'm not wrong you didn't really enjoyed the combat 😅. When for me finally the combat has it's own identity and techincality, it's not just roll and hit, you can make really masterpieces of combos etc...
And there're lot of things to praise on God Of War 3 for me, like you've played the remastered version of it, but can you believe, that this game came out on Playstation 3 in 2010 and it's still impressive on PS3. The music score is just the best in the series for me (composed by Gerard Marino), espescially Rage Of Sparta, God Of War 3 Overture, Poseidon's Wrath, Pandora's Theme etc...
But some critics I even agree with, like the settings variety on God Of War 3, useless ammount of collectibles in God Of War 4 and some little things here and there.
But maybe you will come back to these, just to re-enjoy the story, and you will appreciate these more ;)
These challenges at least for me are very luck based.I remember how many hours it took me to complete them on the ps3 version.Then i played the remastered version and i started and completed them in 15 minutes.Just everything happened to be at the right place at right time.I didn't played them differently.
But you had all the experience from the first time around. Once you have done something, it becomes easier.
@@obenohnebohne Maybe but It felt like i did the same thing but this time it just decided to work.
I do feel there is luck in a couple of challenges. Things can just align perfectly.
Got this one back in the day on ps3. Great game.
Never knew about the respawning red orb treasure chests exploit I already platinum’d this 4 years ago but might do this on ps3 since they patched out another exploit that wasn’t never patched on remastered
Soooo When Spinoffs ??
(Ascension, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta)
Haha, not doing them. The PSP games are good fun but don't fancy them for an episode. Don't like Ascension.
God this one excites me. Looking forward to RE3 too some goodens
I ended up far more fond of RE3, haha. Currently going back through all the footage.
Hell yeah! Love your GOW platinum journeys! These games are so fun to play and to watch, do you have any plans on doing the plat for the PSP ones and Ascension?
God of War Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Spartas platinums are easy so he might not release a video on them
I won't be doing the PSP games or Ascension. The PSP games are fun but don't fancy them for an episode and I don't like Ascension.
Nice work mate. Gow 3 was my favorite but are you gonna do ascension? It got hate but I didn't mind it and I would like to see that journey 😀
Thanks. I won't be doing Ascension. Didn't like it when I played it years ago.
congrats! i need to finish this myself
Thanks!
ayyyyy noooo way i just platinumed this game a few days ago! it was insanely fun! truly amazing game!
Not sure if it was for dramatic effect or not but there actually are quite a few tricks/exploits that would've made the 'bare hands' challenge so much easier
I looked up a bunch of others do Bare Hands and didn't find I was obviously missing. Doubt I'd do an exploit but what are the tricks I missed?
Are you ever going to do ascension or the psp games (Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta) for the platinum journey? I love both psp titles at ascension is decent enough
Nope. I dislike Ascension. While the PSP games are fun that I enjoyed playing, don't fancy them for an episode.
@@AdamMcDermott that’s fair enough love the videos 👍
@@AdamMcDermott do you when the next episode will be released?
@@Bica836 Yep, the Resident Evil 3 episode will go public this Saturday :)
@@AdamMcDermott can’t wait 😆
Great video, well done on the plat! 🙂 I still need to play the original trilogy, those challenges don't look fun though haha
Thank you. Haha, those challenges are not fun at all.
I've been waiting for this for soo long bro🥲🥲
Well Done Adam - Never Did The Original GOW Games - Had 0 Interest In Them Still Don't
Looking Foward To Your Resident Evil 3 Episode
another cracking video
Thanks!
I have two main issues with the Challenges. 1. Luck is a key factor 2. The “O” button quick time button is in direct conflict with grab
Solid issues to have with the game.
@@AdamMcDermott give it a pass cos it’s God of War
BRO OMFG FACTS when i played it on Titan the zeus fight was soooooo long I thought i was trippin i started timing it too😂
Glad to hear I'm not the only one, haha
We are on the same wavelength, I finished this game for the first time a couple days ago and am currently going for the plat 😅
Best of luck! That one challenge, "Bare Hands", is really tough. Stick with it, eventually things will fall into place for you.
@@AdamMcDermott Cheers! Just got there, I had more trouble with the gorgon one but not bad overall
@@markm5927 Excellent. Glad to hear it went well enough for you.
Awesome I'm glad u got that trophy but I'm not going to adept on getting it as I would rage quite
Perfectly understandable :)
Oh man, you really did not seem to have much fun with that one 😅 Doesn't really make the opposite any worse though! I like your honesty about the games.
Yeah, rather disappointing for me, unfortunately. Started off so excited too, haha. Yeah, better to be honest even if folks most certainly feel differently.
@@AdamMcDermott Yeah, I personally do, for example. Always thought of God of War 3 as my personal favorite, due to the amount of cool bosses you fight and the sense of finality it had.
Maybe I'd think differently today if I were to replay them.
this is my favorate GOW and way more fun than the new one
