Share your recent Platinum, 100% or 1000G you have achieved
I recently earned the platinum for Riders Republic, its a fun game, takes around 40-45 hours to get the plat and outside of tricks battle mode its not too difficult, but I enjoy playing tricks battles.
I haven't moved on from the game after getting the plat though cause im levelling up to get elite level gear to win 64 player mass races, I got first place for the first time yesterday and consistently get podium finish
At my stage in life, just finishing the Main Story quest is something that doesn’t happen often. I’ve only completed the main story in one game so far this year; the Long Dark.
There is nothing wrong with just completing the main story, telltale games are famous for just giving you the platinum trophy for just completing the game.
Also The Long Dark reminds of Kona another game i completed just before it left ps plus, completing survival/horror games is just so much more fun than any other genre
Hard same. It was a big deal when I beat the main quest line in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Even bigger when I got through the main quest lines of all the story based DLC.
That's my goal now - I got to 88hrs in Valhalla the last time round before burning out on it. At 35ish hrs now and only just getting to Oxen... Oxenwhatever (4th region to unlock, not a spoiler as I unlocked based on suggested level).. I'm trying to stick to main story now though so I can at least complete that.. can always do the Ragnarok storyline after.
Did you go main story only (no Asgard) to get through it?
That was the first game in a while to really sink its teeth in me. I did all of it. I have a bunch of small stuff to finish up but I just cranked through all the story (main or DLC) and steadily chipped away at it.
Have you played or know about Sons of the Forest? How does it compare?
I pirated The Forest to see if I’d like it; after about 30 minutes I found it pretty rough around the edges. Plus, I’m not a huge horror person myself. The Sons of the Forest didn’t seem appealing to me after playing The Forest.
Hitman (World of Assassination series 1, 2 & 3) 100%.
Only games I've ever 100%'d.
All great games, I have them in my backlog.
I was so confused about which version to buy, but the World of Assassins update made it easy for newcomers to get all entries
Ugh. I feel ya. I’m a Hitman player from way back so I had to buy each one and then the third comes out on Epic instead of steam. It’s been a clusterfuck the whole way through.
It helps being a patient gamer, you can buy the goty or complete edition for much cheaper rather than paying full price at launch day
In all other games I am (and I even have previous comments about this) a PatientGamer™ but Hitman...hitman is my series.
Yeah its not a strict rule, I break it for all sony first party games and resident evil games
Probably would be Tunic? I used a guide, but an achievement is an achievement.
I used a guide too for those later puzzles, but i accidentally skipped the
Spoiler
Heir fightEdit: Hidden the spoiler
(We don't have inline spoiler tags)
But you can use raw html, e.g.,
<details>

I fought them by accident, lol
</details>
Which renders as:
this is a tunic spoiler
I fought them by accident, lolWow nice, I searched how to hide spoilers but wasn't able to find anything.
Already edited the comment
An update to the game allows you to fight them if you attack rather than entering "dialogue". Saves having to go through the first 2/3 of the game just for that one achievement. Funnily enough, according to Steam's statistics, more people have gotten the good ending than the bad.
Didn't know about the update, thanks for telling me!
For the steam stat it could be just that once people find out that there is a bad ending they will try hard to not get it, some people get really pissed off about witcher 3 because they got the bad ending
Not 100%, but 95.652...%, or rather 66/69 achievements for Deep Rock Galactic. I'm not going to get the last 3 because I like the number 6669.
Nice
Smuggletruck, an indie I bought in print from LFG. It was just ok, though it took less than 10h. Before that was Forspoken.
Just checked out smuggle truck and i love their website, i might give it a try.
Forspoken is the type of game people are going to have a blast playing when it eventually gets added to gamepass or ps plus, people are way too harsh to that game when its not that bad as most think
Yeah, it's not flawless by any stretch, but I had a lot of fun and found it believable, which is something I think a lot of fantasy gets wrong. It should not have been a surprise that young hot shit picked off of new york streets acts like... a young hot shit picked off of new york streets.
Yeah its sort of like a YA novel, some people just write off cause of that and think these type of games won't sell and then Hogwarts Legacy ends up making like a billion dollars
I haven't had time for it recently, but I'm proudest of 100%ing Binding of Isaac and the first expansion. Those were hard won.
Damn bro, I bow before you
I did the PS4 remaster of GTA: San Andreas (not the definitive edition, the one before that) the other week, that felt like a mammoth task, but it was so fun throughout. Got stuck into Persona 5 afterwards and haven't had much time to complete anything else!
I was not able to buy the classic versions of gta games before they were they were removed for definitive edition, i spent so much searching for a way to play them on my ps5, at the end i had to give up and ended up playing them on my laptop.
Rockstar does not want their platinum to be easy, but if you are someone who just loves being in that world its not too much grinding
Also which version of persona 5- vanilla or royal?
Yeah, I was lucky that A) I bought the original trilogy before they took it off the stores and B) they still let me download it. I wouldn't have been too surprised if they just binned the whole lot off.
I'm playing Royal. I actually started on Vanilla, but was enjoying the game and found out I was missing out on quite a lot of content so I decided to get the Royal version when it was on a sale some weeks ago. No regrets, it's been good fun so far!
So cool to play the classics version on modern consoles but if you hadn't bought them you're out of luck now.
I hope you enjoy your time with p5r, its in my backlog.
GOW Ragnarok. Bigger than and just as polished as the first one, but suffered from not being as focussed imo.
The Valkyries in the first game were great fun, but I had to turn down difficulty on the equivalents in Ragnarok because they just felt cheap rather than challenging.
Nice taste. God of War is my favourite game of all time, Ragnarok though is bigger but i wouldn't call it better, if the first one was 10/10 this one is 9.5/10
I had completed the game in the first week that it came out, but i was busy after that so i sold the cd. I would love to go back to this game and earn the platinum
The last one I 100%-ed was Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I was one of the lucky few that had the game run smoothly on my computer, so I was able to do it in about a week. It was pretty easy to do.
It's one of the few games I've done to 100%. Getting the map unlocks to show which collectibles you've missed certainly helps, but I just didn't want to stop playing as it was so fun.
Fractured History certainly took some effort though. Switching to blaster stance was the only way I managed to pull it off.
I really enjoyed both games but I wanted my second play through in a year or so to be completely story focused. When I did Ng+ on order it was distracting knowing I should probably be finding the last few hidden treasures as I go, so I just got them all this time in order to fully enjoy my next playthrough.
Nice so have you completed both the jedi games?
Yep, multiple times. I've enjoyed every Star Wars game that has come out under EA so far - even Battlefront 2015.
None of them have quite gotten to the heights of the late 90's/early 2000's games, but they're all very solid. Survivor and Fallen Order got really, really close.
I have high hopes for Star Wars: Outlaws. The footage they showed looked great
It put a lot of my worries to rest. I really am excited to see more.
The last game I beat 100% in one continuous sprint was Elden Ring. I also finished off Terraria and Vampire Survivors that same month, havent full cleared anything else since then.
Same for Elden Ring and Vampire Survivors! Problem with VS though is that I keep having to clear that game, as they keep adding more achievements lol
For real, I need to catch up to the latest update at some point but Zelda has been eating all my free time for the past month.
All great games. I've wasted so much time playing Vampire Survivors and im still nowhere near good at it
I finshed all the new stuff in Vampire Survivors today (it was released 2 days ago), but hey, at least steam shows 100% completion again.
Great, what have you lined up next?
I'm playing a "plants vs zombies" roguelike called Riftbound right now, slowly working my way through it, I'm about half done and then back to the Slay the Spire grind.
I've also looked at Halls of Torment, but it's really too early in development for to go super hard on right now.
Oh wow look at this, another game i just found that i'm going to spend 100s of hours playing, thank you for ruining my free time
Dude, I sucked people away from the D4 launch in my clan because this game just hits so hard in the right places. I had 6 people watching my stream in discord that ended up putting down "THE NEW SHINY TRIPLE A GAME" to play a little indy roguelike.
It's also really good until you are on wave 38, and then realizing that you made the complete wrong choice in stage 11 . . . and you decide to YOLO it.
Stop getting into my head, I want to play FF16, this game has a hypnotizing gameplay that i can just watch and watch...
I like your taste! recommend me some more games that you've been playing
Brick Odessy and Peglin are both roguelike "ball bouncing" games. Brick Odessy is block breaker and Peglin is Peggle (remember playing that on taxis in Wrath???) but both are Alphas right now and adding features.
Darkest Dungeon 2 is a fun . . . something Roguelike deck building (?!?) game and the first one is good too, think of it as Slay the Spire meets DnD meets Lovecraft.
I'm of course still playing Creeper World 4 (mainly to play the "You are creep" maps.
I haven't found a good "bullet hell" game other than the 2 I previously mentioned, and steam has figured out that I like "roguelike" and "alpha" games.
Oh, I lied, Rice is another funish bullet hell game, that is also in alpha.
My other main kind of games are tower defense (of which I am currently playing Bloons 6 and Gemcraft Frostborn Wrath). I'm also poking my head into D4 but I got to level 100 before it "officially" launched so I'm more waiting for seasons to start.
I kind of fell out of MMO's last summer (guild drama, but it was a guild spanning 6 MMO's, completely fragmented, so all of us without a "clique" kind of just drifted off).
I'm seeing a lot of roguelike fans here in these comments. You all have god like patience, only roguelike games i've played are enter the gungeon, dead cells and returnal, out of these three i've only completed returnal to 100%. I still have ways to go to have that kind of patience to loose all your progress and start from the beginning and not only in games, i guess thats what some of us are doing here in tildes after the exodus.
You should try spelunky 2 if you want an even harder challenge i've heard that game gets crazy the longer you play
I've picked up a few 100% recently, courtesy of the free Xbox Gold games, but it's been ages since I've achieved 100% on a big a-list game. Probably the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim and that wasn't all that impressive since I'd already achieved it on the first and special editions before.
Iris Fall was a fun shadow puzzle game where achieving 100% the first time around is next to impossible since there are a bunch that require you to flawlessly solve the puzzle. But could could easily go back in afterwards and redo a puzzle, and it was pretty short.
Q.U.B.E. II was also a puzzle game with portal vibes where a straight playthrough would get you all but one achievement I think (there were two endings, each with its own achievement). With a little trick you could get the second ending's achievement without having to replay the whole story.
I hope i could get interested in Skyrim but I didn't end up liking it a lot.
Nice puzzle games you got there, Im trying to get more into them. Humanity is the only puzzle game i've 100%, if you haven't you should give it a try
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye on it for sales and the like.
If you haven't tried it yet, The Witness is a great puzzler as well and it has a bit more heft to it than those two I listed. it is also very pretty.
Slay the Spire is my most recent. Amazing amazing roguelike deckbuilder - even getting the plat was barely enough to feel like I've scratched the surface. I forsee many more hundreds of hours of spire slaying in my future still, haha.
My last one before that was Horizon Forbidden West last year, which I recently came back to for the DLC. The original game that this is a sequel to (Horizon Zero Dawn) is one of my favourite games of all time, and the certainly sequel did not disappoint either. The storyline / narrative of the first game was still much better, imo, but the combat was definitely improved in the second and the graphics + worldbuilding are top notch in both. Very very fun games all round. The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was the timed challenges in the arena, but hey, can't win em all haha
We've got lots of Slay the Spire fans here it seems, i might have to give it a try.
I still have zero dawn left to complete but i've played a little bit of the second game and man the graphics just blew me away and on top of that it plays at 60fps is just a massive feat
You know, I'm both surprised and not surprised at the number of spire fans here. Like I'm surprised because it's not a game with that much broad "name recognition", but in a lot of ways I feel like the philosophy of the game itself is weirdly very compatible with the philosophy of tildes. I can see how both would appeal to the same type of person. It's a game that heavily rewards the same kind of deliberate thoughtfulness that I see everywhere in this community.
Forbidden West is an absolutely gorgeous game, for sure. Good chance I have more hours spent in photo mode than I do actually playing the darn thing, haha. But do yourself a favour and don't rush through Zero Dawn too much either. You only get one chance to experience those narrative reveals for the first time, and altogether they make up honestly the best story I've seen from any video game ever. Uncovering the story of how Aloy saves the world in the present is so cleverly intertwined with the story of how and why the world became this way in the first place, and the payoffs as you discover each bit piece by piece are just so satisfying. I would have hated to jump straight to FW and miss the chance to experience that whole arc myself firsthand.
I think that the only game i have ever 100% is Super hexagon.
Now that's a blast to the past, i love playing that game, a completion is a completion doesn't matter easy or hard.
You should try other rhythm games if you are good at one its easy to get good at other.
Humanity! Ever since I played the demo a few months ago, I was excited for the release. Huge surprise when it was included with PS Plus Extra on release day. Between the music and atmosphere, it was a very relaxing platinum to get.
Great Taste. I platinumed that game within the first 2 days that it came out.
All the trophies can be earned by playing naturally and some of those trophies should be labeled as 'fun challenges', doing the level a specific way really makes you think even after you have just completed it
I don't typically bother with 100%ing games these days unless I'm super keen, but I did 100% Vampire Survivors (pre DLC) and I suppose I 100%ed Pokemon Violet, if catching them all and doing all the things counts as 100%ing (I'm no shiny hunter).
Those DLC always ruin that sweet 100%.
I guess you love pokemon games if you completed it to 100%.
Nintendo really is missing out on trophies, I've seen some people go mad over collecting all korok seeds in botw, i bet if nintendo put a trophy it would have been something like collect 50% or 60%, but a lack of trophies really makes people make their own challenges that are usually much more difficult
I finished Resident Evil 4 Remake recently with the full 100% achievements on steam, as of right now that and Slay the Spire are my two 100% achievement games there! I also have the God of War Ragnarok Platinum, it's been a really long time since I achievement hunted before this last year and it feels nice.
Wow Resident Evil 4 100% is quite an achievement. The amount of replays alone make it hard and along with that you have to do some of them in a specific way.
tbh it isn't too bad once you finish the first run! Though I finished the first run on Hardcore, it took about 19 hours? Once they added Mercs mode that unlocks the handcannon, all subsequent runs should be pretty easy besides the Pro run, and even that isn't too bad once you've played through a couple of times. I think I finished it 6 times total, with the slowest being my initial run
Unlocking that headcannon was considered the hardest part of the game and the guides even called all the other playthroughs just a practice for this test, then they added merecenaries mode and you could get headcannon before your first playthrough. I really like how the subsequent playthroughs rely on your own knowledge that you have gathered while playing. Resident evil games are all about being hard at first and almost being a power fantasy by the end, i just love them cause of this.
yeah I don't love it but it definitely made the playthroughs easier! I think I would have added another pro playthrough if they didn't make handcannon part of mercs, so i dont think it was that big of a loss tbh, more of a 4 hour time save at best. The hardest part of most the playthroughs ended up being chapter 1 though. And to be fair, the originals unlocked the handcannon in the same way, iirc, it was just a much harder mercs mode.
Overall I've only played 4 and 5, and both of them are some of my favorite games in childhood! Eventually I'll get through the rest but i just HAD to do RE4R because of the amount of times I played it before.
You look like a resi fan just like me!
So what do you think is going to be the next remake, has to be Code Veronica right?
I mighttttt be a bit biased but i'll say it HAS to be 5 haha. I have soooo many memories of me and a buddy playing through the campaign multiple times, running through duo mercs, and just trying dumb stuff in game and self imposed challenges and such that the moment it releases I'm gonna buy two copies.
I don't see them remaking 5 without restructuring a huge part of the plot. Code Veronica is still an important entry that bridges so many gaps. After they shut down the fan made unreal engine remake of resi 1 i think there is a chance that they might remake it again. They should definitely remake 5 but Code Veronica better come first because if they go with 5 first i don't think they'll ever remake CV then
that's totally fair! i should definitley get through all the other remakes either way, I've been trying to go through 7 recently but it's soooo different
Not recently, but 112% Hollow Knight is probably my biggest gaming achievement. Never finished the Pantheon of Hallownest though, and don't plan to doing so.
I wish i could be you, radiance absolutely made me loose confidence in my gaming skills.
Also i'm not going to speak very loudly cause there is a way to do those pantheons, the devs don't have any interest in patching the invincibility glitch, it might be a bit wonky to execute but you can get it after some tries
I'm 1 achievement away for Powerwash Simulator (I also 100% Elden Ring so don't come at me and my 350 hours in point-watergun-at-gross-thing-until-clean game pls) but I don't think I'll ever actually get it.
Because, if you're familiar with the game, it's supposed to be a super-relaxing experience. And it is. Except that the Devs built a "challenge level" section and hung 2 achievements on it. In order to get these achievements, you have to complete the challenge levels at gold (EXTREMELY difficult to do) and in order to get gold you have to wash a level using a max amount of water, or in a max amount of time... Not exactly relaxing... Might be just a little salty about that..
Yeah i've heard about how it is a relaxing game but if you go for 100% there are some difficult trophies. I'll probably just play it for fun
I absolutely recommend it still. It's absolutely amazing to play whilst listening to a Podcast btw, in case that's your sort of thing too!
Heh thats exactly how i was thinking about playing it, i play some relaxing golf games right now while listening to podcasts. If i decide to go for 100% later down the line im going to switch to heavy metal while playing this game
