- I can’t be the only one who when a new game releases or I’m trying to think about which game I want to platinum next I immediately run to PSNProfiles or PowerPyx. Wherever there may be a guide or general trophy list breakdown to see what type of mess I might be getting myself into and based on that I’ll decide if that is a game I want to pursue the platinum/ 100% or if that’s maybe just a game I play to play. So, what types of trophies/ achievements help me decide that one way or the other? Well, let's find out!

What are some trophies/ achievements that make you steer clear of that oh so sweet platinum trophy or 100%?
@MayorHairBear the tomb raider 2013 reboot multiplayer is possible completely by yourself( for the level grind) the random trophies you will need atleadt 1 person. I promise you the game is worth it it’s really good and the no trophies are not that bad and can be done relatively smoothly
For me, It would be Messiah from Outlast 2. Some of the encounters are inconsistent and it is hard when you are playing in pitch-black darkness. I think that permadeath is the type of trophy that affects me the most. I'm fine with The Last of Us games since there are checkpoints, but ones that are set on the highest difficulty are ones I don't go for. those just require you to play the game flawlessly, especially in Mein Leben.
Anything that just looks tedious. Friend bought the Stanley parable, looked at the achievements. All looked doable, but too many looked like they would be a distraction to finishing a game I wasn’t really interested in playing so I’m not even bothering.
despite the usual mp trophies I despise trophies which have unreasonable high amounts of numbers tied to them...as an example I always use the "arounf the world" trophy from GRID (2018).....where you have to drive 40.000 kilometers.
To be clear, i don't mind the grind per se, but the number tied to it should be worth my time
Honestly man if I see more than 4 missable trophies then I hate it. Makes me feel like I spend more time looking at my phone checking I've done everything 1000 times than actually playing the game.
The Hero trophy on dragons dogma is one of those and I just strongly dislike it.
Can't forget about another trophy type that i hate. Timegated trophies.😬
Timegated trophies! How the hell did I forget about them!
I can’t platinum BO2 (only missing one trophy right now) because there is a timegated trophy that was only available for a few years until it became unavailable in I think 2015.
@@MayorHairBearDo you have a Discord?
@@Hockeyhobo89you can use theater mode to pop it
@@Jammerdude07 sure but then I’d be banned on PSNprofiles
I can pull through multiple playthroughs, difficulties, flawless gameplay and dozens of collectibles but when a trophy or achievment needs multiplayer, forced online or obscene RNG, I give up.
I think that's totally fair mate!
Accurate af pal
gta 5...
Fr, I have no issues if Games are difficult even if is something ridiculously hard like Wolfenstein The new Colossus, I can still handle that, but multiplayer fuck that.
Couldn't agree more, especially ;ton of collectible trophies the game doesn't even track, so u're stuck not knowing the ones u miss, making u revisit every one regardless, Example : AC2 feathers & L.A. NOIRE Golden Reels ...
Oh it's terrible, Mafia has the foxes that don't track which ones you've gotten either and that gave me some grief trying to find the last one I needed!
I tend to dislike time trial trophies when you have no room for error and have to be pixel perfect. Its just unnecessarily annoying.
LOOKING AT YOU MIRROR'S EDGE CATALYST
Yeah for a time trial trophy to work you need wiggle room. I'm not saying make it a breeze but give me something to work with!
I totally agree with not wanting to boost multiplayer trophies, I’m Australian too and finding the time that fits everyone is almost impossible
Oh it's a nightmare!
New Zealander here, and I've come to agree. I dislike boosting, but sometimes it's necessary. You do make some good friends occasionally. A lot of people on my friends list are people who I met whilst boosting and bonded with.
Games with regional servers can suck the fattest one. There's so few Australian achievement hunters in general that it just becomes impossible. I had to do that with Playstation All Stars when those servers were still up in addition to using my Vita and other PS3 lol. I've had two more Xbox achievements on Virtua FIghter 5 Final Showdown for ages just because not only are the servers regional (I couldn't connect with an English guy) they're also borked.
One trophy I was concerned for when going for the platinum was the speed run trophy for Shadow of the Colossus where I had to beat the game in under 6 hours on the Hard difficulty, so imagine my surprise when I managed to do it in less than 2 and managed to get the no death run one on top of it. Goated game all the way through, do consider it
No kidding?! I've looked at doing that game but that trophy worried me out of it!
@@MayorHairBear the speedrun is one of the easiest bits honestly! Especially if you have the queen's sword already (which you get for the time trials, which ARE a nightmare), it's a total breeze
Collectible trophies/achievements can be pretty good if they give the player an encouragement to collect them.
Prototype 2 did it quite nicely. Adding small pings all over the map that don't explicitly tell you where yo find them, but hint that they might be *somewhere* in a particular area... And they even disappear once you collect them.
Yeah that's exactly right, once again I think you can do collectibles well... it's just that most people seem to add them to games for the sake of it!
Love these platinum-adjacent videos! Really sets you apart! Hope to see more!
Also, these types of trophy give you pause or paws…
I do need to bring them into the content rotation more, they're a lot of fun to make. And pause, I already have paws 😂
Great video bear!
Definitely deathless runs are my enemy as they cost you the most amount of time if you make a slight mistake
Took me 2 months to get the meat boy platinum and for the sake of my sanity was not worth it 😂
Thank you so much mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah the only deathless runs I've had to do are in the BioShock games and they can be cheesed on New Game plus or easy 😂 Congrats on that Meat boy plat though!
I would reccomend attenpting speedruns in games like Resident Evil ecc. Not only they are replayable, you can also check the time during the playtrough so that you don't get the "SURPRISE, YOU'RE OFF BY 5 SECONDS" at the end lol.
That is actually something I didn't know but that is a good surprise!
Hah. When you mentioned Speedrunning trophies, Resident Evil was the first series I thought of. Holy crap was S+ Hardcore in RE2 remake tough. Then they also always have some other crazy trophies like "only use the knife" or "no item box".
I think the multiple playthrough trophies are interesting because on the surface they don't seem to bad/wouldn't burn you out, IF you didn't do them back to back. Like if you beat the game, put it down, leave for a month or two and then come back, it doesn't sound too bad.
But if you're making content for it, like you do, and you need to platinum it for the video, it makes sense that can burn you out veeerry quickly. Especially for longer games, like Open-world games, or longer RPGs.
Yeah that's a really good point and something I should have clarified! This is all from the perspective of doing this for a job because obviously in terms of multiple playthroughs yeah put the game down and come back and you're sweet but in terms of making content I sort of need that platinum experience to be done and that is where the burn out sinks in
But sometimes you need to continue with other playthroughs because you know that one of them will be on higher difficulties, so you can't wait and risk forgetting how to play
@@Katastrophe03 This has happened to me and Zombi. I just need to do it on survivor difficulty, but because I already did 2 playthroughs back to back I am burnt out.
Great video dude! Multiplayer trophies can get in the bin!
Thank you mate and absolutely, through them out!
Man I swear this list resonates so much with me! Tying a trophy to a difficulty which is then locked behind beating a game on another difficulty is so annoying. Multiplayer trophies be driving me mad.
Oh my biggest pet peeve in the whole thing. If you have a trophy for a high difficulty, unlock it from the start don't make me do an arbitrary playthrough!
Great video mate, like always❤
Thank you so much mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video mate! I am very much the same when it comes to trophies that make me hesitate haha
Ay thank you as always mate and glad to know I'm not alone with these trophy types!
I agree with you in these! Especially multiplayer ones plus multiple playthroughs.
I am right there with you for online trophies and to a certain degree missable collectibles. If the second or more playthrough of a game don't offer anything new gameplay wise I am also really reluctant in going for the platinum! Though I really like speedrunning trophies, and just speedrunning in general
Also one thing I try to avoid is too easy trophies or gimmick platinums. Games like, My name is Mayo, for instance is games I will never get the platinum in
I think the too easy trophies or games you know without looking into the games but I agree, they're also a big avoid for me if they do somehow pass the eye test 😂
@NPOCrushader: Interesting though is the Mayo trilogy has a storyline [ and a sense of humour ] its not like the endless jumping food and stroke the whatever's.
I don't mind multiplayer trophies as long as I can actually get them by playing the game and not sitting around boosting for hours on end. Great vid! 👍🏻
Yeah that's the thing right, playing some multiplayer is fine it's when the only way you can get the trophies is through boosting and that whole nightmare it puts me off!
But this is still a problem. Most game servers are shut off after a period of time or there aren't enough players playing the game anymore to get the trophy. One of the older Call of Duty games I needed one more multiplayer trophy for it and couldn't get it due to no one playing that game mode anymore
I did replayed RE4 like 6 or so times for the platinum and I can honestly say I loved every minute of it.
I decided to ruin my life and play the last of us part two remastered by trying to get the platinum in one playthrough plus the bonus trophies forthe hardest difficulty, and Perma death mode. Which means I have to get every collectible and that means doing every combat encounter in the game. I am 60 hours in and only stuck on day two. Ellie 😢
Damn that is quite a demanding playthrough, best of luck mate!
To add to your list, anything that has a super high combo. It isnt an instant no but typically I struggle quite a bit with them
Missables in general, whether it’s collectibles, or parts of missions that have to be played in a certain way. I hate having that anxiety that I’m going to miss something and I will have to play an entire game again for it. Also ridiculously grindy and multiplayer based ones.
Number 1 thing I hate more is when the devs shut down the servers for a game with multiplayer and they don’t make the achievements/trophies accessible anymore basically impossible to platinum 😑
Yeah killing a games plat is always a sad one!
Looking at you 2k games
On ps3, warhammer 40k space marine usually comes with a elite code when you buy it new but if you buy it preowned or a few years down the line it locks you out of the multiplayer level trophies, unless you go to the playstation store and buy it for $9.99
Ohh, lucky me wake up to a bear video, big fan of these slightly different content videos.
Hell yeah mate, hope you enjoyed the video!
In Code Vein there's a trophy linked to getting all ending, which doesn't sound too bad. Except an ending is linked (implied version) to your percentage completion on beating the final boss. I've already gotten the best ending. To do the "neutral" and "bad" endings would require me to actively avoiding story/quests in the game. I put the game down after that.
I am on 118 plats though 5 or 6 were auto-pop of PS4 to PS5 games. It’s a thrill to nail a hard game like DMC5 that most people haven’t done owing to its grind and difficulty.
And you can feel like you’ve really mastered the game and done most of what it offers, again something people who don’t hunt the trophy/achievements tend to care about as much.
Anything that deals with multiplayer trophies, online trophies or boring grinds
The trifecta of awful 😂
Thanks for the advice dude
I just finished Amnesia: Rebirth, and it was a short game you had to play twice, with collectables. The 2nd play-through was a tight speed run, but you could glitch through walls to by pass sections of the levels. And some of the collectibles you only had to collect a certain number of, not all, for the trophy to pop.
I get where you are coming from (after collecting over a 100 platinums) when looking into games to platinum. And I use a lot of the same methods in choosing them. But I also look a little deeper to see how much leeway some medals have as a deciding factor. Some of them may actual be a lot easier than what the medal seems to state or intended - due to glitches, or lack of programmer foresight, that make them easier to do.
Great video but you lost me somewhere at the 9:20 mark because the BGM you chose made me go "You have failed! We will find another way. Releasing control!" I totally spaced out there. XD
Back on topic though, I agree with pretty much all of your picks being a bit of a bother when going for a platinum. I will still try to go for it though but the one that I dispise the most is multiplayer trophies in singleplayer games. Especially if the servers are down. I have one game in my trophy list that I will forever be unable to get the plat in because it was the first game I ever played on the PS3 and the servers went down before I even knew what trophies were.
Also I would like to bring up one type of trophy that you haven't covered that I find very annoying. It's the one that forces you to play a game in a very specific liniar way with no room for free choices, especially in a game where you can make free choices. The big offender here is The Witcher 3. I forgot which trophy it was but you had play through the game in a very specific way, enganging in conversations with NPC in a specific order such as to not lock yourself out of a side mission as well as making specific dialog choices no matter what you might want to choose yourself. Such trophies are horrible because you get locked out of playing the game as it's supposed to be played since you have to follow a guide down to the T. It's a great game, but having to have a guide with me start to finish kinda ruined the experience a bit for me. No idea why developers think that something like this would be a good idea for players to go through when experiencing their game.
I’ve got all the achievements for pvzgw2 except for 1.
It’s the one where you have to beat boss hunt on crazy difficulty and the only way to do a boss hunt is when it’s the special mission in the town hall. Every couple months a new town hall event mission becomes available and it picks between a bunch of other missions that are not boss hunts.
I’m not even sure if it’s possible anymore.
One collection heavy game I didn’t mind was Jedi survivor. They tracked everything very very well and made it clear if you was missing anything. It was done very well and nothing way missable
I was turned off of the platinum for Arkham City for a long time because of the Calendar Man trophy before I found out you can get it by changing your system date. if not for that trick, I think that'd be a type of trophy (assuming other games have it) that would cause me to give up on the platinum
i do agree with a lot of the stuff you mentioned in this video with the exception of speed running the re games. i have the platinum trophies for re2 remake and re4 remake and those speed runs were not too bad. god of war 2005 also has a simple speed run trophy as well. i always check a trophy list before playing a game. i also play all my games on blank accounts to make sure i can get 100% before adding it to my account. as of right now the only exceptions are the dlc for ffxvi and spider-man 2 as those were added afterward and i have not gone back to them yet. right now i have 110 platinum trophies in the span of the last 4 years
Yeah again, I feel like the speedrunning trophies would be something that in the future is off this list but I just need to do a couple of them first!
When you talked about multiple playthroughs, you reminded me about the time I had to do Mafia 3, 3 times to get all trophies. So dull.
I agree with all your points except the one regarding resident evil games but it seems I'm not the first one in the comments to suggest you try them out. The requirements for these games seem insane on first glance but really aren't that bad once you get into them. And that's coming from someone who usually tries to avoid playing games on the hardest difficulty and also someone who hates multiple playthroughs. I don't even like having to play the same game twice but a resident evil game I can easily do 5 runs in a row. It doesn't feel like just playing the same game multiple times but rather like a roguelike, where it's just natural to do run after run. That's probably because you have different challenges in these different runs. And most of the time, the requirements aren't really that bad. For example I think RE2 you have to beat in under 3 hours or so and you can usually do it in 1h 30m if you already know all the right ways.
Resident Evil Village if you do your first playthrough on normal or hard difficulty, then you're already good enough to do a "knife only"-speedrun on your 2nd playthrough, where you just avoid most of the enemies. Might even be able to combine it with the "no-healing" and "don't talk to the merchant"-trophies, if you do it in new game+. That's how easy that game is. You can then get an infinite ammo weapon that basically one-shots everything and do your 3rd playthrough on the highest difficulty and it will feel easier than your first normal playthrough.
So if you're still unsure, you could start with RE Village because I think that's the easiest platinum. Although actually the platinum of RE2 is quite easy aswell because you don't have to get all the in game achievements done in order to get the platinum. Like for the platinum, you don't even need to get an S+ rank on hardcore difficulty but I would highly reccomend to do it anyway because it unlocks the infinite rocket launcher, which completely breaks the game and makes every other challenge a breeze.
Sorry for the wall of text. I guess I like Resident Evil 😅
Yeah the RE example seems to be a big point of contention but hey, I'm down to try one soon and get that monkey off my back!
I love RE but never platted them I might go for two after reading this it’s one of my favs
for the Resident Evil games in particular, the speed run trophies are not as daunting as they appear, because in both games i have played, through in game means i was given access to an infinite rocket launcher, which makes the speedrun almost a doddle
My first plat would of been injustice 2 when I was younger I loved that game got every character max had like 600 hours I had realized I was close to the plat last trophy I need was cat call which u have to open loot boxes to get a certain move that shit still sits at 98 percent to this day
Pretty good list, perhaps in the future you do a 360 and die some of these games
One game I started to try and go for and stopped was the dead space remake. The thought of trying to beat the game without dying and if that happens having the save been wiped puts me off even starting the run
Yeah Impossible mode worried me too, that's why at release I just played the game and dipped 😂
2 plats I missed fit your picks. GoW 2018 because a collectable towards the end of the game didn't track, and Ghostwire because of the RNG around eating all the food. So frustrating.
I don't mind the Resident Evil Time Trophies as it's a normal challenge that's been in the series since their conception, and they just decided to tie a trophy to it. Getting the special weapons is the actual reward for the timed playthroughs, so I really wouldn't recommend playing them if you were just going to do them for trophies.
Absolutely agree with you on all points 👍
I'm glad mate!
Biggest one for me has to be missable collectibles. I like going in blind as I can for a first play through and sitting there with a collectible guide just annoys me.
Being forced to unlock harder difficulty aswell. Just let me attempt it from the beginning lol
I used to be the same mate and if I can, I still like to go in blind but I do check now for missables and if a game has them I'm getting that guide ready!
Blacksad is the only game I’ve failed to platinum because of collectables. The sports cards glitched so at least one was missing. (The game handles them all wrong anyway so it’s natural it’d mess up.) one day I’ll try again.
Good luck to either one of us with getting all the achievements/trophies on the Assassin's Creed Chronicles games. Some of them require completing the hardest playthrough without alerting anyone or completing a level in a certain amount of time or without taking damage.
Oh no really? I hadn't even looked at that trophy list 😂
@@MayorHairBear Hopefully the levels and the story modes aren't too long and the levels allow for replay ability. China looks like the easiest to platinum. A lot of the trophies in the trilogy involve using different moves or gadgets on enemies and playing a memory sequence in a certain way.
I never had a bigger anxiety attack playing a game compared to the one i had during Psychonauts Meat Circus. If you miss a single collectible in the level, you have to start from the beginning. If you dont have the right item in your inventory, start from rhe beginning. And the level takes like an hour to get through casually so it was definitely the most nervewracking part of the Psychonauts platinum
I think the main thing that really ever puts me off platinuming games is when its a solo player game but withba needlessly difficult online trophy that will require boosting. But tbh i agree with everything on this list its the same thing i always look for
Yeah boosting is just too inconsistent and inconvenient!
Reason 4 is why I took a break from RE4 Remake for now. I’m gonna go back and get it, but it felt tedious like you said doing them back to back.
I just hate no damage ones in general, especially in games with melee focus. I could clear a whole room in a normal playthrough without a scratch but the moment you tell me to it just gets in my head. The God of War games have one of those challenges in every game and I've only ever done a couple of them.
With me I hate missables which is a really big thing in JRPGs and speedrun trophies, I like to relax and not stress out
Missing dialogue like in assassin's creed 1 and Tomb Raider definitive edition. I had to do a 2nd playthrough only because I missed one dialogue from one character.
One of my favourite games (little nightmares) has a deathless speedrun trophy which has taken any thought of trying to platinum it out of my mind😢
Legitimately was the game that came to mind when I thought speedrunning. It just is a bit too much for me!
Star Ocean Last Hope had something like “pick up every item in the game”. 100% with some sections being one time only areas.
I never even attempted it. Lots of achievements like that. I completed the game at something like 25%
Have to agree on the speed run trophies!
They're just too stressful!
There are many games I’ve wanted to 100% but I haven’t because of difficulty or just lack of will. Currently going through dmc 3 wanting to get every trophy, but man I know I’m gonna struggle with some of em.
It all depends on how long it will take for me, I’m up for any challenge as quite I enjoy a difficult challenge but with some of the best out there like RDR2 which takes 100 hours… I can’t commit because of work while trying to get videos out more frequently 😢
Missable collectable is what made me quit dl2 cause i did normal run,then new game plus and in it i went to clear remaining trophies just to find out some collectables disappear after you complete certain quests so il need 3rd playthrough to get it done in the future
I've heard DL2 is lousy for missable collectibles!
I don't really have one yet but I will say Gollum every time I play it I have a miserable experience lol. I will still finish it, but meh.. lol
Banger video as always mate !
Hey bushido!!!
I have lots of platinums (like 500 or so without easy crappy games), i like challenging games and also easy ones (usually after a tough platinum, I start with a chill one), I play pretty much everything, but there are very serious limitation to me. One of them and in my opinion should be mentioned in the video are buggy trophies. Not that ones where you can actually retring them by restarting the game or the level, I'm referring to glitchs where you need to restart the run or reinstall the entire game. I'm pretty unlucky, so if I read on psn profile the label "buggy", is an easy skip. We can include also unobtainable trophies cause of glitch or closed servers. I'll be very upset for not unlocking a shiny platinum because that stupid trophy that requires me to play a single online match and the server are closed. Last but not least, coop trophies. Not referring to easy trophy like playing one match together or doing something with the second controller plugged afk, but to trophy that requires long time (like playing all the game in coop) or trophy where you have actually to play with 2 controllers. I don't want to convince a friend just to do something for a stupid tedious trophy. Hope you understand me, english is not my primary language 😅
First of all, for English not being a primary language that was very well put! But to your point, absolutely buggy trophies are an absolute pain and simply something I just blanked on for this video!
I can agree with the multi play through trophies, these can be such a time sink. Plus risk making a game you have enjoyed, turn into something you hate just down to wanting to get the thing finished. That's why I now only aim to hit a 50% plus percent, on a first playthrough and then will wait any number of years before going for a plat or 100%. This year I revisited AC Revelations and got 100% after having last played the game to plat at 84% back in 2013. So by 2034 hopefully some of the games I'm playing now might eventually get a plat and/or 100% 😂
for me it's doing a crazy amount of kills like resistance 2 that you had to do 10k kills on ranked matches, that will forever be a game i'll never platinum
What is the game footage used at 5:27?
As soon as I see collectables I'm probably not getting that trophy - hate using a guide while I game.
I don't get the liking boosting part I just boosted for an achievement in cod cold war that I never would've gotten otherwise
It's not that I dislike boosting itself right, absolutely it can be the only way to get a trophy done and in that instance it's great. What I mainly mean is the act of boosting itself and setting it all up, is usually not a fun experience
When a game requires 3+ playthroughs I completely dread doing it. Resident Evil is one of my favorite franchises and I’ve completed a decent amount of those games but going for the platinum on 1 and 0 is something I’ve been dreading and putting off for years. Rng/long grinds also drive me insane.
Injustice 2’s cat fight and dbfz set for life are just soul crushing. I opted to use a turbo exploit for those
5:51
Cat Call *shudders*
Can forget that I hate Online Trophies
We all do but unfortunately depending on what game you are trying to platnum
It has to be done
Definitely a common evil!
Re3 is a good game to get over the nerves of speed running. It’s very short and once you play through it a couple times you can finish within the time constraint very easily.
That's what I've heard, I need to give it a go because yeah as I said I need that nerve killer!
Yup....Nice video m8,looks like we all have same problems
Definitely seems that way, glad I'm not alone 😂
I've pretty much given up on the MK1 platinum because of that time gated TItan fight.
That trophy was such a pain in the ass, I'll never forgive how that trophy timegated the whole platinum and Netherealm didn't say shi!
CALLISTO PROTOCOL i played hardest difficulty on first playthrough did all collectibles and everything, but a story tied collectible glitched and didnt count. took me a whole ass year to decide to actually finish it off. no game should have collectible trophies if they arent a collectathon designed game
The resident evil speed running trophies are often decently reasonable. Especially with the new ones I.e. re7 and re8. With the unlocks you get after completing the game normally it becomes pretty easy.
Really liked the video, BUT you should do the Resident Evil trophys - the 'speedrun' trophys are not hard (and I'm just an average gamer) because the RE game balance thing with unlocks like infinit ammo, knife and new guns so the difficulty of the speedrun is countered by that and those are really fun.
I'm also kinda back in the trophy hunt game, 11 platniums this years so far.
I'm impressed by the Mafia one, I can't get past the race ond highest difficulty. I mostly hate mssable trophys when there is no good savepoint, like the ending of DREDGE is perfect, because the last save point is right before.
That has been a common complaint and I agree, we'll attempt some RE platinums soon!
@@MayorHairBear do that, I would recomant any of the Remake 2, 3 or 4.
The 1st person once (7+8) are a bit more challenging.
Especially RE2 Remake is very rewarding to get, I was really happy when I got it last year :)
I have my own seperate trophy hunter account which I made for platniuming or 100% completing a game. It's gone well... until I accidently played BO Cold War (thinking I was on my normal account) and got a trophy which made me have to try and go for all of them now & I just can't do it, from playing dead gamemodes like fireteam dirtybomb to getting the easter eggs for zombies solo (I don't like playing zombies).
So yeah I gave up on trying to platinum it and when I go through my trophy list it's like a stain and it hurts me every time I see it
I would love to plat Cold War but yeah the dead mode trophies are such a red flag!
Looking at the list of games I dropped the 100%'s for, the category largely either falls under having multiplayer achievements or requiring multiple playthroughs. There are some on that list I can see myself trying for eventually like Metal Gear Solid V, a few Resident Evils and Yakuza Kiwami 2, but I doubt I will ever clear up all of them. When your backlog has as many games as mine, I just can't justify revisting something I finished the campaign for to achievement hunt as opposed to starting up something completely new most of the time.
The most common factor that makes me avoid a game is achievements tied to DLCs. Usually older games has them and they are not heavily discounted like the base game is. You end up paying double or more just to get everything.
Missable collectible trophies are my least favorite because it almost feels like I need to use a guide and I don’t like using or watching guides. That’s how I’m currently feeling in Stick of Truth 😅. Dark Souls 3 rings trophy is literally brain rot to me 😂
I understand avoiding some difficulty trophies as some of them can be outright unfair, like Wolfenstein 2’s Mein Leben trophy. I can’t tell you how many times I had to bash my head against the wall to get it and at one point or another I was ready to give up. Especially when I died at the boss fight before the Odin Control Chamber. I must have gotten real lucky or the RNG gods were with me on the one particular play through as I was able to run past the bosses at and made it to the door to progress to the Epilogue.
I think multiplayer ones might be the worst for me. My least favorite are definitely the ones based on leaderboard rankings, most of the time you can't get these anymore because the servers have been shut down (Mirror's edge catalyst, Tron RUN/r, etc) .
Always such a let down when you see a game you think is primarily singleplayer and it's no longer obtainable because it had a few mp trophies!
Gotta agree with this list, nothing worse with missables
Missable trophies are the biggest red flag!
South Park stick of truth
For me, the absolute worst kind of achievements to deal with are what I collectively categorise as "Mr. Perfect achievements", basically anything that expects you to become an absolute master at the game with stuff like beating whole game deathless, speedrunning the whole game, beating the whole game with some annoying requirement (Whole game without using some base mechanic for example)
I do sometimes push through to do them (Shovel Knight being one example) but usually just seeing 1 or 2 of these kind of things will make me just instantly drop any plans for 100%
im currently going for the state of decay 2 100% on steam. There is one achievment were u need to survive 100 ingame days with ur comunity. Thats like 150 reallife hours just sitting around and waiting. super anoing…
No way! That is an insane timesink!
Every and all deathless run trophies. Can cope with difficulty playthroughs i.e. Killzone 2, world at war etc. But my heart pounds and hands tremble at the thought of dying at the end of a playthrough
I'm the exact same mate. I don't mind the struggle of a hardest difficulty playthrough but doing it no deaths is so exhausting!
Max level multiplayer trophies - I don’t mind multiplayer trophies but ones that require you to keep playing for hours and hours, just no need for it. I’ll happily try out the online/win a few matches/etc is good for letting you experience everything the game has to offer.
I'm currently running through Returnal and the RNG for the ciphers are just the worst. I have 4 more biomes to collect for (to get the platinum) and I've already clocked in 37hours...
I've heard Returnals collectibles are a nightmare! Best of luck mate!
the achievements that I really don't like for me are glitch achievements that when you think you got it but it doesn't Pop Up
Dying light 2 had some of the worst collectibles for the platinum I’ve ever gone for, with areas being locked off and only accessible during short segments. I did enjoy my playtime during the game but that was a huge turnoff.
Well, I consider myself a semi-completionist, AKA I don't avoid games for this reason, I even put unobtainable games on my profiles, let it be, it's part of my journey, but otherwise strive for 100% where I can make it happen over time. (Edit: Resident Evil speedruns are so much fun, not too bad, I loved them all. Also, you can mitigate a lot of problems by uploading saves periodically - dying, bad speedrun segments, etc.)
I adapted this mindset this week it’s been so much more enjoyable this way
I could go on for days about specific achievements, that demand too much of the player. In particular, I don’t think anything will be as bs as the Halo MCC LASO achievement that for some dumb reason is worth a measly 50 points
LASO terrifies me as I'd love to 100% the MCC but doing that for every game is a big yeah nah 😂
Me: Well so far the trophy list doesn’t look that bad. Wait what’s this…
That one trophy: Beat the game on the hardest difficulty with only 2 saves, no deaths, 5 bullets, instantly dying if you get hit, no running, no jumping, no melee, enemies infinitely and constantly respawn, and in 15 minutes…
Isn't it just a mood killer 🤣
The deathless runs are the hardest, most frustrating to get! But the most rewarding, I'd gotten Ori and the Blind forest on steam and still the hardest gaming achievement I've got to date
They definitely look like they'd invoke an indescribable rush but doing it looks miserable!
Yep you're not wrong especially 2 hours in and insta-killed off some BS
I 100% divinity original sin 2 which included deathless on a minimum 40 hour game (first play through 100 hour) and got a lot more time I wouldn’t have got otherwise from it
Also for me is the Grindable achievements, those achievementes that depends of hundreds of hours just to get a certain iten or level. Recently i got Diablo 2 Ressurected platinum becouse is my favorite game ever and i only got becouse i made amazing friends along the way to grind for a Hardcore Level 99 character, but if it wasn't for their help and for the fact that is my favorite game ever, i didn't even tried it.
Damn congrats mate that is a gnarly plat from all accounts!
I love the resident evil plats, it's challenging but makes you experience the game differently
As someone who works 72 hour weeks, I tend to avoid difficulty related trophies, and tacked-on multiplayer trophies to a game that really didn't need a multiplayer. The online dies quickly, usually before I can even get around to attempting it, and even if I get to start it, it usually dies before I can get all the online trophies. Games such as Tomb Raider (2015) and the earlier Assassin's Creed games, still bothers me that I'll never get the platinum on those amazing games for that reason.
Yeah that's a great point and especially with tacked on mp it's usually never good enough to really garner a community anyway. So after a couple of weeks it becomes a struggle to find a match!
@@MayorHairBearJust noticed my error, I've edited it. I meant "game that really didn't need a multiplayer". Glad you understood what I meant. Love the videos, always look forward to the next one.
I’m currently stuck on unlocking WOODS on blackout and is fkn painful
Blackout is the sole reason I'll never platinum BO4 😂
