Like if you don't mind Trico stopping you from getting a platinum because at least you get to pet his big ol' noggin.
I wouldn't mind if the game had no game to it and was just a Trico petting simulator.
I want to pet his big 'ol noggin, but the daft beastie refuses to stick 'is head through the holes!
I almost had the one for having him catch the barrels but he missed and it fell out of the into the abyss.
Think the only one on this list i plat'd is Uncharted 4. I also plat'd the Shadow of the Colossus remake. Evil Within and Crash Bandicoot 4 should have been on this list. This is coming from someone with 158 platinum trophies.
I consider myself a "casual core" gamer. This is a gamer who isn't a casual, but who follows game industry news & releases regularly, but who isn't so hardcore they'll spend hundreds of hours on a game unless they really, really like it. However, the dedication some of these Platinum trophies require sheds light onto the myriad of different types of gamers out there.
Whenever A Game's Trophies Is Tied To Multiplayer, You Can Kiss That Platinum Trophy GOODBYE!!!
The multiplayer trophies in uncharted aren’t hard it only took me 2 days or less
@@Drxnn421 recent, gonna go back and beat most ps3 games so i'm just curious.
Hopefully game developers are getting the hint. If what we want to play multiplayer/online there are those other games.
@@Drxnn421 Even if they're not hard, some older games no longer have active multiplayer servers
The Last of Us in Ps3 is impossible to Platinum since 2019 because of that, I know it's an older game, but not every one has the chance to play before they shut everything down
Especially in dead online games WatchDogs 1 for an example
I, in fact, have every Platinum in every Uncharted game, including the Vita one.
I cannot even begin to convey just how much I regret my life choices.
This made me laugh out loud. Well done - E
hey you got those fancy game trophies and fed an unhealthy addiction that will probaly destroy our lives, so are you really wasting your life?
😂 don't worry, we all have our regrets... Yours is, to play Uncharted too much?
Mine is to buy games and then to never play them, because I am no longer interested.
Also have all the Platinum for the Uncharted game (except the Vita one), but I regret nothing 😆😆😆
I have the platinum for 1 and 2. I didn’t bother with 3 or 4 because of the multiplayer ones
Here's an idea for a sequel to this list, "7 really easy trophies hardly anyone unlocked". Here's a freebie, in Mirror's Edge Catalyst there's the trophy "Law Abiding Citizen" with a really low unlock rate. To unlock it... Simply walk through the hallway at the start of the game until you meet Icarus. No running, no jumping, no crouching, no punching... Just walk.
Spiderman ps4. Really easy platinum to get.
The "Keep Of The Sand" achievement for Half Life 2 comes to mind. To unlock it you gotta complete the level Sandtraps without stepping on the sand. It's pretty easy as long as you're careful and know what you're doing but only like 4% of people on steam (including me) actually have the achievement
Hi, as someone who has the Shadow of the Colossus platinum here, I can safely say the hard time attacks are one of the most painful things I've EVER done in a game.
I found them quite fun. Unlike Last Guardian the controls in this game are top notch and if you know what you are doing the times are not that hard to beat. It might require a few resets if you fail a trick but that's about it. The only thing that I disliked is that they spawned you right at the colossus in the valley. It's so much fun dropping directly on him instead of having to shoot his feet first so that he let's you get up on him.
@@Ninjaeule97 Admittedly, a lot of them aren't too bad. The Third Colossus, though...
@@LordoftheRagingIsle ah yeah the sword one. What's crazy is that they increased the time requirement by 90 seconds compared to the original and ps3 remaster. I don't remember my time but I doubt that I beat him in less than 5 minutes so there is no way I would have succeeded in those versions.
@@Ninjaeule97 Yeah, I did the PS3 one lol
Multiplayer achievements are a scourge.
What’s weird is that FromSoft games are relatively easy to Platinum… kinda. They don’t have any achievements for beating the game without dying, or beating it while controlling it with your mind.
Dark Souls 3 has been a nightmare. Covenant rewards are the bain of that run.
@@absollum it wasn't easy when the game was brand new and the servers were loaded. Doing it now sounds miserable!
@@Virtuous_Rogue it caused me to stop playing the game for over six months. Namely the Mound-makers. Farming with a luck build and all the item discovery items gave me a less than 4% chance, so I had to do PvP, which I'm awful at.
And the worst of them are leaderboard trohpies you can basically only get on day 1 of a popular game (if you're lucky).
@@absollum ugh, grinding those damned silver knights in Anor Londo literally took me around 12 full hours. And I was VERY lucky in my drop rates.
At least for some of the covenants you can get a friend to help out...
When a game like The Last of Us has multiplayer trophies, I just limit myself to the single player ones and imagine I got a platinum trophy for those.
So yeah, I got a platinum on The Last of Us.
And no one can convince me otherwise.
Lol, that's how I feel about Red Dead Redemption 2. Got every single trophy for the story, but absolutely refuse to play multiplayer.
same for AC Black Flag, Brotherhood and Revelations
Can I include PS2 games like Bully when I don't want to pickup rubberbands again lol
absolutely agree.
I dont care if anyone cam convince you otherwise. Period point blank there is something on there not checked off so "no" buddy, you dont have a platinum achievement, convinced or not kidboy
The trophy with the lowest completion rate that I have is the "Child of the Forest" trophy from Metro Exodus, which requires you to complete the forest level without being detected or attacking anyone. The most tense trophy hunting experience I've ever had.
That is funny, I have that trophy and I didn’t even go for Metro Exodus platinum. However, I did for some reason want to get the trophy you describe
I'm most proud of my Red Dead Redemption 2 platinum, to be honest. The Uncharted 4 one was also brutal but very fun!
Trophies are a blessing and a curse. I like the added challenge and they can lead you to secrets you otherwise might not look for but man, are they time consumers..
RDR2 is one I want to do one day, but Jesus Christ I can only imagine the grind just looking at the trophy descriptions
@@ArcticSounds It really depends, but some definitely are and it look me 2 years to complete them because you can only replay missions so many times until you get tired of them. I enjoyed hunting a lot, so finding and skinning every animal wasn't too bad and luckily the animals in Guarma aren't needed. But the 70 gold trophies? Oof.
I am fully aware trophy hunting is kind of pointless but it's an extra challenge I like to take on for games I love and made me explore games much more than I ever did before trophies were a common thing.
Good luck with your hunt if you ever decide to do it :)
@@tommen.baratheon it took me around two weeks when corona just hit and i had nothing to do, ugh fun times
Same here. The RDR2 platinum is honestly my crowning platinum achievement. All those animals you had to skin and study. 😭
@@tommen.baratheon
I have done all the single players achievement. Isnt the online the hardest when complething them? with the the way the online is messed up.
This makes me want a video where y'all talk about the achievements/trophies you're most proud of, in the style of your favorite music in games videos. Two of mine are Cleanest Hands in Dishonored and Only A True Master in MKX.
Some achievements I'm most proud of is one shot which is given for completing Alien Isolation without dying or Epic Tier 3 Engineer for beating the original Dead Space on it's hardest difficulty.
Super Meat Boy.
I love that idea for a vid! I got Clean Hands and Shadow on Dishonored 2, would've gotten a Clean Hands on Dishonored as well, but a bug had killed a NPC and I only found out after I'd completed the level, just didn't have the heart to go back. Perhaps another time. Another achievement I'm proud of was finishing Witcher3 on Death March difficulty, that was tough.
Tf2, air raid and flight control.
For me, it'd probably be a tie between the platinum in Final Fantasy X, or the platinums in Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and 3.
No mention of Metal Gear Solid 4? One of the trophies requires you to beat the entire game on the hardest difficulty, without triggering any alerts, dying a single time, killing a single enemy, and all within a 5 hour time limit.
It's literally a pacifist, no deaths, 100% stealth, speedrun all on the hardest difficulty mode.
That last sentence sounds like the title of one of those "Full Playthrough" videos on UA-cam
It sounds harder than it really is once you actually try it, it is nowhere near an easy accomplishment but it is perfectly doable nonetheless, especially if you’ve some previous experience with the franchise.
Those requirements aren’t even exclusively related to that trophy to be honest: completing the game under this set of rule in order to achieve the best emblem has been a staple of MGS since at least the second title on PS2, so long-time fans are well-acquainted with them xD
MGR is also insane in my opinion
@@solairofastora690 definitely harder than any other MG plat, unles you’re really good with action games
@@gianlulag I am relativly good at action games, but the game has some stupid attacks and ways to get hit randomly and that is what makes it hard.
For the Uncharted 4 multiplayer trophies, all of them can be done via the tutorials against the cpu. The only time you have to play against other players is when you have to play 3 online matches, but you don't have to win anything. You can just stand in one place and wait for the match to be over.
Oh hey I actually have the Shadow of the Colossus platinum.
Several months in lockdown was an absolute godsend for my trophy hunting.
Im so glad they decided to get rid of the trophies for finding all of the fruits and lizards in the ps4 remake. The game is relatively simple to platinum now if you have the time on your hands to beat a game *multiple* times
Trico's AI is mindblowing for me. A lot of people complain that he doesn't do what he's supposed to, for me he acts like a real animal, a cat more sepecifically. You ask him to do something and he will just stare at you and then when you give up he'll just do it. I loved my time with that game, never an animal felt so real in a game and we're talking about some giant Gryphon-puppy here, so that's saying a lot.
Exactly. He learns as you progress and there are even tricks to get him to listen more easily
He really feels like a giant puppy, and perhaps the beauty of it is that I really can't tell if he was programmed to feel as lovably dopey as he is, or if the program really doesn't register half the things you're asking for. There was a section in the underwater caves where he just wouldn't dive, no matter how much I asked, and then he went and did it without me, so I had to just float around and wait for him to come back. It took forever for him to complete the tunnel and his ai to sort out what to do when he got there without me, and to swim back. Tossing barrels to him isn't so bad, I think, if you line it up and wait for him to visibly lock on to the barrel.
He looks and acts exactly like my dog so imo amazing game
I never even played the game and that's what I thought when they mentioned unresponsive AI
Hmm... Makes me think. What about a video with "Platinum trophies that make us do painful stuff so no thank you"?
"Boar Bather" from Brutal Legend immediately springs to mind as a trophy that was a hard stop for that game's platinum.
The horror.
The horror.
Isn’t that what this list is?
@@theGhostWolfe No, these ones are just hard to get. I meant trophies that players DON'T want to get because the requirement is either gross, horrific, depressing, or all of the above
@@galghoul3042 They’ve done lists for that. Eg “7 Achievements for Heartless Bastards” etc
@@theGhostWolfe I know. Just thought a trophies edition would be nice. They've made similar lists before
Has someone who only has 3 plat I am happy to see one of them on here.
I did manage to get TLOU plat but my god the multiplayer trophies are an absolute grind.
Grounded + wasn't too bad and pretty fun, there was a couple parts (cough Ellie and David fending off the horde) that took a couple tries.
For me, the hardest part in Grounded was the part at the dam. I'm not sure why it was so hard for me though.
I've got 16 platinums so far am working on dying light 2 which am 74% done
Proud to say I’ve done the equivalent of platinum on Beat Saber on the oculus. My tricks: getting really in to long term exercise, liking music games, and needing an alternate work out. Also buy and enjoy the artist song packs. Not only are they some of the most fun to play but the newer the pack the better and more fun (and occasionally easier) the note charts are. The official OST vol 1 through 3 can both be super unforgiving but super unforgiving in an un-fun way do to the dev team still learning their own system, the charts just aren’t as good.
I tried to grind achievements early on (pre dlcs), and while it can be rewarding getting that one trap you always miss (I swear one of the original songs has a block inverted in its repeating pattern during the last iteration), I quickly lost interest in the achievements.
It is much more fun to play at a higher level, where you are constantly challenged, than grinding perfect at a level that is mostly boring with one overly hard (or rather stupid) passage. you touch on it by saying later dlc got better.
also, i like playing on faster than normal speed, which makes it especially a workout. But in chasing max completion, the slightest fluke of it losing track of my motion is then just frustrating. (oculus rift cv1).
workout: yes. when i still played, i did 1-2h sessions on expert+ with faster speed. can confirm it is a workout :)
Don't get me wrong, likely more than half of the songs i have, i never even finished on expert+ on normal speed. it's just more fun to do the tracks fast that i know and love.
Me a serious trophy hunter: “Oh! Haha! Well well well! I bet I’ll have at least one of THESE! Ha! Bunch of casuals!!”
Me after checking the video: “Welp…. Wellity wellity well. Nope.”
I have them
I was just waiting for a special mention of the professional difficulty on the Not a Hero dlc's from RE7, last time I checked only 0.4% have it... me included ^v^
I have Shadow of the colossus, i tend to avoid the multiplayer ones- too much scaring from Destiny.
i really appreciate the last of us part 2 trophy list because with all the accessibility options they clearly wanted to make it fun for anyone who wanted to play so anyone with enough dedication can also get the platinum
Unless the accessabillity options lock you off from some/all trophies thats definitely the easiest way to get them.
@@supervegito2277 There's literally a trophy for beating the hardest difficulty mode in the game, so no you can't cheat like that.
@@HOTD108_ Havent played since launch, so cant remember, but are you saying Accessabillity options are locked on higher difficulties?
That trophy (about beating the game on the grounded mode) it's an optional trophy and you can get the platinum without it. The same applies for the permadeath trophy
@@HOTD108_ Not tied to platinum. I like games making platinum easier and still having more difficult optional trophies like TLOU2 and Spiderman did.
I remember getting the Uncharted 4 platinum. Step 1. Complete game 2. Crushing difficulty + collectible clean up 3. 5 hour speedrun with lock on aim enabled. As platinums go it actually wasn't that bad, surprised it's so rare.
i had fun going for this platinum. not only is it my favourite game of all time but it was just really easy
Easy = aim enabled and infinite ammo... seriously git gud
I've actually had a too low aim accuracy after playing through the game with lock on aim.
And tbh my aim isn't that fucking bad especially because I've played uncharted 1-3 through on the hardest difficulty without any assistance like that.
I couldn't be bothered playing the game again so I've just used a glitch for the accuracy trophy and the speed run trophy.
@@PS_Jeff He beat it on Crushing dude 🤷🏽♂️. Why go at it a 3rd time playing serious? It’s just wasting time when he can just work for the achievements.
I'm looking forward to going for my UC4 platinum. The Uncharted games are my favorite series in the world (and favorite games second only to RDR2) so going for the trophies gives me a reason to play them over and over and over. I blame really good storytelling and acting!
There was actually a bug in Uncharted 4, where after you beat the game and unlocked Level Select, you can use it to skip to the end chapter in the difficulty of your choice, and the game considers it a full playthrough. That's how I cheesed into getting the trophy for Crushing mode AND Speedrun.
What was really hard was the trophy "Run the Table"; where you had to kill enemies with a stealth attack, melee, headshot and explosives, in that order within 15 sec.
I believe I got that Run the table achievement. It took me a while.
Yeo that's how I got them. I used a guide for run the table, there is a good spot to do it.
You can also use cheats and still unlock trophies in Uncharted, right? I think that's how I got through Crushing, plus the fact that you can actually complete some combat areas with stealth.
@@carlsiouxfalls You can, that's how I got past UN LL's crushing mode
But that was patched a few months after launch I believe. At least it didn't work for me when I platinumed the game two years ago.
TLoU Plat is my most heartbreaking one i never acquired, i got every trophy except for the Hunter/Firefly trophies, while the MP was enjoyable i wasnt about to spend months playing it just for a couple of trophies.
I do wish dev's would stop putting MP trophy requirements in games that are mostly a SP experience.
Or just seperate multiplayer trophies from the list, as if they're a DLC, so you can still get the platinum without touching it.
@@Joe90h Yea exactly.
Luckily I think that’s a lesson developers have actually learned since TLOU came out, including Naughty Dog - Uncharted 4 separated its multiplayer trophies from its single player trophies.
The last of us was my first game I played on PS4 and my first Platinum. The multiplayer trophies took me like 2 or 3 nights of playing, I did it over Thanksgiving weekend, with switching off some matches with my brother. It was actually a really fun experience for me.
I know right. I hate MP, coop, and online trophies.
Another game that I feel like is impossible is stardew Valley where one of the trophies wants you to beat the entire arcade game without dieing once
I have the platinum. The trick is that the game saves every time you sleep, so play the arcade and every time you pass a level go to sleep. The next day continue playing and so on, if you lose just go to the ps screen and close the game, get into stardew again and play again the level until you pass it without dying.
Hope this helps, I tried for sooo long to do it without cheating but it just wasn’t worth it considering the amount of grind the other trophies already require.
i am actually trying to get platinum on beat saber and to be honest the hardest part about doing a expert+ ss without missing a single note nor any modifiers is neither getting ss nor not missing a single note,
it is finding a song upon which you can do both at the same time
One of my earliest and most proud Platinums is from Alien: Isolation. This included a trophy for completing the entire game without dying once...
Absolutely 💯
That's one to be proud of
@@gregalexander9132 Not really when you can save scum that trophy
That game was so hard i got stuck in the first 20 minutes lol
Awesome game, and also one I Platinumed.
One of my proudest platinum is on dead space 2. Hardcore difficulty. 3 saves allotted. If you die you start from your last save, which could be hours back.
I'm amazed by how fast Luke managed to complete the marathon and come back for the end of the video. Or maybe they recorded the video with few months in between takes.
have we verified if Luke still has all his fingers and toes yet?
There are only runes now.
Yes they started filming this video around Christmas.
My trophies are usually simple games that you just need to complete like jazzpunk and Telltales TWD (and amoung the sleep that doesn’t give you one which is a whole other can of worms for me). But the first one I actually worked at was Days Gone. Is it an extremely difficult game? No not necessarily, but it’s the first one I actually put real effort into with the goal of completing it so holds a special place in my heart :)
I have only ever reached a platinum trophy for Trails of Cold Steel 1, which I consider fair going since it's a 50+ hour JRPG with trophies for stuff like opening every chest in the game, playing the game in nightmare mode, killing 8 enemies in one hit, and seeing a special event with every party member, which involves playing the game through at least twice, most likely three times, and lots of saving and reloading.
I watched Super GT get his platinum in Gran Turismo Sport.
The combination of effort and skill that takes is just unreal.
Ikr, I was just thinking about this
less than 0.1 percent have done, they probably round any number lower than that up so who knows what it actually is
Came here to post this. It was pretty crazy during his recap when he did a breakdown of how much XP you need to get to level 50.
I gave up on that one 😔
I did not expect to see Shadow of the Colossus on this list. I think it’s the one game I have the platinum trophy on. It’s such a minimalistic and well documented game that it’s really not as much of a difficult time sync as you think. Hard mode isn’t that much more difficult than standard. Time attack is annoying but do able and also a brilliant addition to a minimalistic game. Beating the time attack attack modes also gives you items that make the lizards and fruits easier to collect. The other trophies are for killing creatures or to encourage exploration.
Depends on which version it is. It got easier with PS4 as they added the time allowed for time attack mode
Oh, I didn't realise that the Uncharted 4 platinum was that rare!
I enjoyed the game that much that I just got all the trophies without thinking too much about it, which is my go to plan to get any platinum really; there's no point in getting any in the games you feel you have to slog through!
Yeah, that was my first platinum. Didn't seem that hard to me
Ellen’s puns are the best, especially her “lukewarm” pun.
I would like to hear what Andy's first reaction after knowing about the bow and arrow incident
I'm sure Luke is hiding in a cupboard somewhere in the OxTra offices right as I type this. Stay quiet Luke, Andy will calm down eventually... EVENTUALLY...
i want to see the interrogation
@@ltamha what if luke and ellen just simply replace the damage screen or wall with a new one without anyone's knowledge?
@@jasonmadinya7759 me too
@@ltamha Andy found out about it in the last jackbox livestream...
Uncharted 4 was my first try at a platinum.
I decided to do the treasures last,and when i got to do it, THE TROPHY DIDN'T POP UP, and yes i had every treasure,i even counted the 109 treasures countless times from the menu to see if i missed something. I did some research and i wasn't the only one with this problem.
I still have nightmares from this.
So then how did you get it in the end?
Hahaha I'm so glad you brought up Last Guardian, I love Trico but seriously one of the most frustrating mechanics is him just not listening to. If you try to platinum that game you are NUTS
It's nearly always the multiplayer for me. I finished Survivor plus in the Last Of Us. But I couldn't handle playing over 100 multiplayer games when I really, really didn't like the multiplayer. Also achievements that rely completely on luck
@@johnbishop2536 That one had a lot of bugs I remember. You have to know exactly where they are and stand in the right spot at the right time. Restarting until you get it. Annoying
Multiplayer should not count for platinums. I have games were I will never get the platinum cause the servers are down
Likewise. The Last of Us multiplayer was so freakishly annoying.
In fact I think the only games I have multiplayer trophies in are Borderlands 2 and a few of the AC games.
I actually loved the multiplayer in the last of us. So intense but there's barely anyone who plays it making it hard to get some achievements.
But yeah, multiplayer achievements should be separate. There's a lot of games I have gotten all the singleplayer ones and I'm left with all the hard multiplayer achievements.
The multi-player of last of us is fantastic tho
Also, survivor is easy. It's literally the way the game is meant to be played. Grounded sucks but survivor is actually super fun
It’s not a massive game but for a long time, Toy Soldiers War Chest had a 0.0% achievement rating for the platinum trophy with not a single person earning it. Sometime in the last couple years, it’s moved up to 0.1%. I like to imagine there is literally only one person to ever achieve the platinum trophy for that game
Edit: Apparently a trophy was glitched and made it impossible to platinum and/or someone cheated to get it. Don’t care, didn’t ask
Oh my, I wonder if it coincided with when it was released as a free game with gold. I picked it up then, then immediately put it down.
I think now, by default, trophies are listed as 0.1% even if nobody has obtained it.
I noticed it in Genshin Impact: there were trophies listed as 0.1% rating, but the thing you need to do to get the trophy were time-gated.
Edit: spelling
@@LateSleeper Actually, I believe trophies will still show up with 0.0% if literally nobody has them. When I started playing Deep Rock Galactic on Playstation at first nobody had the platinum or had gotten all dwarves to gold promotion.
@@LateSleeper I’m gonna disagree, as there have been recent games that I’ve seen trophies with a 0.0% rating because the game was so fresh and/or had a time limited trophy
@@LateSleeper Probably Genshin beta testers got that trophy.
1:08 including me!! The hardest part was actually the online luckily I wasn't too bad at it so I had fun getting the 2 online trophies
For the speedrun trophy on uncharted I sorta glitched it (probably patched already) I don’t remember how I did it but it involved going through your save files skipping the whole game. I got my platinum that way.
Getting the platinum is almost impossible in Mad Max since the Up To The Task challenge requires getting scrap from the online service, which no longer exists.
If online services get shut down for a game an update should be added to it that causes all online only trophies to unlock for you. I know some people would complain that their, uh, "hard work" was diminished because other people easily got handed the trophy, but from a publisher's point of view imagine the little bump in sales from people picking the title up for the relatively easy platinum?
Playstation All Stars is impossible to platinum now since half the trophies require online matches and the severs have been shut down
@@That1CrappyGuy From what I remember, it was really easy to platinum PSAS when the servers were active
There are so many games especially from ps3 era that can't be obtained now due to closed servers. On the ps3 it's basically Ubisoft, EA, and activision games that are still attainable. The Last of Us presented in the video is unobtainable (ps3 version).
That's a shame bro, Mad Max was definitely a satisfying plat. If they can't keep a trophy available it oughta be patched or replaced with something you can still accomplish. Still a fun game tbh...
Luke going full swandive into Bloodborne stratemagising is a whole ass mood lol
Maybe I just got lucky with Trico. What I always do is point in the direction where I want him to go, issue commands twice, then point again.
As a trophy hunter myself, i must say i'd rather go for the platinum of half of this list instead of finishing The Last Guardian again, damn what a terrible experience
As someone who loves to get platinums (particularly rare ones) you have just added 7 more items to the list of reasons that I hate myself. Thank you.
@@khamjaninja. this makes total sense to me. There have been some games which I loved initially, but getting the platinum was so strenuous that I spontaneously burst into tears if anybody so much as mentions them.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Metal Gear Rising
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Wolfenstein II
Alien Isolation
I contend that Bloodborne and God of War are more difficult than they are letting on. The Valkyrie Queen and Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen are difficult fights let alone the work to get to/ready for them
There. Add some more.
@@phillip2169 why did you only mention easy ones
@@doginhat13 Wolfenstein II is not easy, RD2 takes forever, dont know about MGR, and the rest is easy.
@@phillip2169 Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time
Speaking of things like Uncharted 4's multiplayer: What about 7 times you were cheated out of 100% completion? Whether it's a multiplayer only set of trophies preventing a platinum, a particularly infamous bug, or something like random elements needing an online connection to a dead server, there's been times where i've gone all in on 100%ing a game, trophies or no, only to realize after so much meticulous completion that the game was rigged from the start. My "favorite" is when games like Bulletstorm or Tomb Raider get a remaster, but unlike every meaningful ps3 era remaster I can think of, DONT get rid of the tacked on multiplayer and its associated trophies.
Similar to their “achievements you’ll never get” budeib
I got a bug on Rachet and Clank a Crack in Time because it was a leap year. There was a problem with the PS3 clock on some games in Feb 29th. I didn't get one of the trophies be cause of it 😑
I wasn't necessarily going for 100%, but I got cheated out of a no kills run of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I'm reasonaly sure it's because I did a non-lethal takedown somewhere that just straight up killed somebody instead and I never noticed. Apparently the game was good at killing enemies who clipped in the floor weirdly when you punched them out.
Mad Max bugged in the last trophy before platinum. One of the collectibles didn't count and I only had the option of doing the full game again. To make matters worse there was a way to use a glitch to get it but the damned devs patched the game without fixing the trophy.
@@jonanderirureta8331 I actually think I noticed that with my own playthrough. I was doing pickup cleanup, cracking open a guide for the last few enemy camps, and noticed something on a guide wasn't being counted as collected.
Uncharted 4 is one of the few platinums I do have. Though... full disclosure, I got it like second week of release, when it was not only considerably easier with you know.. not needing all those grindy multiplayer trophies that I mostly don't have despite playing both modes of multiplayer it has a fair bit, but also if you had a physical disc version (which I did) and made sure not to update it by disconnecting yourself from the internet and only THEN popping the disc into your ps4.. you could just skip the entire game and play only intro and epilogue and get your crushing AND speed run trophy in like maybe 10 minutes of gameplay. yes. I cheated. nope, not even a little bit ashamed :P also.... at least back when I was doing it, you could play the game on very VERY slowed down mode WITH autoaim and it still counted towards the trophy, so the only accurate shots you had to get with above skip were few guys in the intro.
That last quip was hilarious!
Proud to say I have two of the Platinum Trophies. Shadow of the Colossus was definitely tricky, but honestly Beat Saber is my proudest platinum I’ve got. Literally spend 6 months trying to get that Flawless trophy and when I finally did and the Plat popped, I legitimately celebrated with a glass of champagne 😂😂
You earned it!
Shadow of the colossus is PROBABLY my proudest plat, either that or persona 5 both games I went the extra mile for and got what I’ll call “tue” 100%
that’s kind of sad. i hope you’re doing better things with your life now
@@independentmissile200 he didn’t do it in one sitting so he’s fine
Luke gets applauded today. "Four score and seven reps ago, our fathers brought forth the PAIN!!!" 😂😂😂
I think I actually got the Spin Master achievement on the Xbox version of Tetris Effect. It’s not really that hard to get if you run through Journey Mode multiple times
I imagine Ellen playing The last of us
"Oh, this game is great,10/10"
Ellie begins to read her terrible jokes, "Nevermind, 11/10"
Also, I hear you Luke. We may be misunderstood, but I know what you're talking about and I agree, farming the slime scholars in the lecture building is very chill.
Luke really needs to pay more attention, otherwise he's never going to get that trophy for enduring all of Ellen's puns.
I didn’t even go after the platinum for The Last Guardian. I didn’t want to turn it into a game game after it made me so tremendously emotional.
I’ll cry today if I hear the credits music.
One game that I found relatively hard to platinum was Hitman 3, mainly due to the fact that each map has a hidden trophy that requires you to complete specific challenges (most of which are redacted), or to do specific action in the mission. On top of that there are hidden trophies that require you to kill each target in a specific way (though that’s relaxed on Berlin) and there’s a trophy that requires you to top the leaderboard on a custom contract, which is near impossible when some people are able to use speedrun tactics to complete contracts in as quickly as 7 seconds!
That custom contract can be your own. Hitman 3 is easy to get Pt-trophy from.
They cheesy way to get that #1 in contract mode is create your own short contract. Then immediately play it again. You will be #1 then.
11:36 As somebody who lives in London, Ontario, I was not expecting this.
Being a huge fan of Fumito Ueda’s games, I do have the platinums for Shadow of the Colossus and the Last Guardian. The former being the most difficult due to those hard time attacks, but I persisted mainly because I wanted to unlock all of the special items that you receive as rewards for beating them.
The hard time attacks on the PS4 version were significantly easier due to Wander not freaking out quite as much with every slight movement of the Colossi.
Last Guardian had it’s tricky parts, but for me the worst thing was getting every hint to trigger. Sometimes waiting a long time wasn’t enough, as some of the hints require very specific circumstances to get them to play. It didn’t help that there was no way of tracking which ones you still had left to unlock.
yeah I played through Last Guardian 3 times. once to just play it, and _twice_ trying to get all the hints, ticking them off as I went. no trophy. I gave up getting platinum in the game on the spot after that third playthrough. then, 2 years later, my partner started playing the game (on my account) just to try it. 20 minutes in, that trophy pops in the opening area. yes, my brain is still exploding.
Yeah, when they hit Shadow of the Colossus for Playstation 3, I was thinking that, too. Wander is *so* floppy in that version of the game, which makes time attacks and just the game in general an absolute nightmare.
I did all the stuff but for the life of me I couldn't do the one where you have to ride an eagle or something
Wheres the platinum of ICO?
I have that too - I just didn’t mention it as it’s much easier, so didn’t seem relevant.
11:40 I am currently watching this in London Ontario, weird to hear the shoutout. Layover from Heathrow is a nightmare, too. Still a short drive to Vienna, Hamburg, and Paris, though.
We also have a a Thames River as well.
You played my favorite song in Beat Saber for the PS version. Thank you
So they did do an update on SFV where you don't have to get thru the 100 survival fights in one sitting. You can take a break and resume where you last left off and even have so boosters to help out. Definitely made it possible to get it now.
Tetris effect has been my on and off challenge in-between big releases since it came out, I'm getting so close to the seriously? seriously trophy now. I used to think I was good at Tetris, and judging by being able to wipe the floor with everyone I knew I thought I was, but that was barely B rank when it came to playing this. I only need 2 more now, SS on sprint mode and SS on ultra mode.
Good luck!
Good luck, soldier.
I've only got a few Ss, let alone a SS.
That Lukewarm pun was a thing of beauty :D
A Platinum I'm never gonna get (only 0.1% have) but would love is the one for Dreams - it's really difficult because you have to sink a bunch of hours into every aspect of creation in order to get the rank 3 trophies
Im surprised the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 remake wasnt on here. 0.1% of people have the platinum achievement. This is due to the time needed to reach level 100, skill needed to complete some of the ingame challenges, and patience needed for the multiplayer achievements
I gave up on that one lol
I have to ask: Does opening the giant door, you need to collect a bunch of hidden items in the game, count for the platinum?
'Cause that thing took (if i remember right) a couple of decades to even find
Luke: "you're forced to play the game multiple times!! 😩"
Speedrunners: "oh you sweet summer child"
Me having played TLOU 6 times because I could not be bothered to multi-trophy a single run
I got Beat Saber on Quest, which also has achievement stuff, and I was similarly confused on how a game like Beat Saber could have such a low campaign finish rate, but assumed that it was just because of the "party game" status... except some of the levels in the campaign are harder than standard expert levels because of unique modifiers (such as limiting your arm movement or you fail for moving too much) or additional difficulty like "Expert mode, but you have to get really high rank while also getting bad hits on notes to succeed". The final level of the campaign requires you to make 'at least' 20 'bad' slashes, which don't count as missing the note you need to slash and get a poor score, which seems kinda backwards for something trying to make you a better player.
You'd likely be at a huge disadvantage playing on PSVR in the first place... The tracking isn't as solid as those on the Quest or PC headsets. At least until the new PSVR comes out.
I have Uncharted 4, The Last Guardian, Shadow of The Colossus and ICO, without a doubt they were the most difficult for me, although I could also include Killzone 3
Luke: are you saying im not cool
Me: remembers the photos of luke playing pokemon smile
I'd say getting platinum on some of the Yakuza games is difficult. And getting platinum for ALL of them is a pain. That means playing every single one twice, doing the completion lists, some of which is luck based, going to caberets to talk up several different women (as if your own social life doesn'tsuffer enough from doing all this), defeating Amon on several occasions, and running around the map looking for keys. And if you REALLY want to go balls to the wall, you can also play the spin offs, which would also include those only released in Japan, on Playstation 3. I think
That, and Crash Bandicoot...
All of those Majhong cheevos...
Yeah, I've played each one multiple times but have only platinumed 6 and 7. Some of the games are just serious grinds.
I came close to Yakuza 0 but I just don't get Mahjong
As someone who has all the Platinums of the yakuza series...i can say...it took me over 6 Months but i dont regret it at all was a fun ride
This episode got me thinking, how about a list of achievements/trophies you physically cannot get anymore. Brutal Legend comes to mind. I started playing it later than most and there was no way I was getting the STI inspired achievement where you must "play with or against someone who has this achievement". Impossible a few years after the game was released, there is no way you are finding it now.
Wow! You should be a content creator!
Not if you have True achievements.
@@Dwight_ I'm not sure what that is, I'll be googling it later
@@Blueyes_silverfox
Is a website were you team up with other gamers to get trophies or achievements
If you dont know this, this website make youre hunting for throphies wayy easier.
@@Dwight_ oh? Nice! I remember something similar many years ago, but didn't know this existed. Thanks!
I love that they still use the theme from Uncharted 2 for their UC segments
Love the video, but I was wondering where the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 remix final mix, where you have to do all of the synthesis and still have to beat Sephiroth... that's forgetting about the multiple playthroughs you end up having to do for a speed run, no changing equipment, and beating the hardest mode. I am still working and don't have any hope for it.
Weirdly, all of the talk of games with near impossible platinums is reminding me on how Undertale handled its trophy system when it was ported into consoles that required achievements.
I have Commitment in The Stanley Parable, which requires you to play the game for an entire Tuesday (which I got legitimately, dunno about the other 2.2%)
I think the rarest achievement I worked for would be the one for getting all S Ranks in Thumper. 1.1% of all players on Steam have that.
I do have some that only 0.1% of all players have, but those are from a game with virtually no player base, which is honestly a shame.
The thing about Steam Achievements is DLC is counted against the base game's purchaser base. So I have a bunch of .10%s that aren't that hard, but more that a large percentage of people that own the game didn't get the DLC, so they artificially inflate the numbers.
Which game you have 0.1%?
@@vb0077 Guns of Icarus Online
I'm curious how you arranged your Tuesday for playing Stanley Parable. How much was AFK? Did you have a 24 hour live stream chat or discord call to keep you going?
@@AbsolXGuardian Pretty much all of it was afk. I played through the entirety of the game before, and was just farming achievements.
So I put it on before midnight, and essentially went about my day normally with it running in the background.
I love the Stanley Parable, but it doesn't have enough content to be interesting for 24 hours of playing it.
I hope Luke wears matching pink flamingo sweatbands for his head and wrists when running marathons.
I feel honored that I have the Bloodborne platinum. Those chalice dungeons were a nightmare.
I've managed to platinum The Last Guardian and Uncharted 4 (and Shadow of the Colossus, but only the PS4 version). I tried The Last of Us, but gave up due to the multi-player trophies being extremely awful. You have to play 80 games (though you can quit out early on most of them, so the real amount is around 14) TWICE and that community is one of the most toxic out there. Plus if you fail to achieve the objectives in one of the games you have to play to completion,you have start over again. Those trophies, far more than Survivor, are the biggest reason more people of platinuming the sequel than the original.
For Uncharted 4, the speedrun trophy, which I only beat with 5 minutes to spare, and crushing difficulty are probably the hardest. The 70% accuracy is easier when you realize in your second run you can enable auto aim to get it.
The Last Guardian's All Talked Out trophy is one of the worst in history. You literally have to play the game like an idiot (two hints require you to stare at a pot for six minutes straight) and there is a lot of conflicting information on how to get those hints on the internet. I used the guidebook and even that wasn't written in the best way. The Lightning Emissary trophy (beating the game in five hours) is tricky as well, though you can quit out anf reset at a checkpoint if you are taking too long. The trophy for pulling all the spears out of Trico in a timely fashion wasn't easy either. And don't get me started on the one where you had to ride one of the Yoroi for 30 seconds.
(Sidenote on Last Guardian: Collar only requires 13 holes. Contrary to popular belief, the two "holes" in the mines don't apply to it.)
Happy to say that I'm part of that 6.5% that has finished Bloodborne! It was my first platinum and boy did it take forever! The chalice dungeons were almost the end of me...
Same. The Watchdog of the Old Lords still haunts my dreams at night.
That was definitely a trying platinum. Defiled Amygdala was the bane of my existence...
@@PlayBeatDelete...oh, God I forgot about that bastard
That percentage did play a part in killing off my sense of achievement though. I was elated when I finally defeated the yharnam queen, but as I got the trophy and saw the achievement rate I thought 'Oh great everyone' s got it'.
Sorry to say this but I think Bloodborne trophy percentages are even further boosted from when it went out on psplus. The Cleric Beast only has 48.2% achievement, so if you account for that, 13.49% of players who played the game as far as cleric beast go on to get the platinum trophy
Shadow of the Colossus kind surprises me on the Platinum rate.
Like by all means the hard mode time attacks are a right pain to do legit unless you are v good...but its also very cheeseable considering in both PS3 and PS4 versions you can do the normal mode time attacks but leave the rewards in the pool and then start a ng+ on hard to have the hard mode time attack rewards immediately spawn and since the trophy is tied to having the rewards this pops it.
Glad that I do have the Platinum trophies for Uncharted 1-4 on PS4. Pretty challenging and all the collectibles.
Also the "+70% accuracy" challenge is really more time consuming than it is difficult, because if you dedicate a play through to it, it's an absolute cakewalk, as you can just set the game to easy, turn on the aim assist and super slow-motion cheats whenever you enter combat, and then for added safety just melee your way through most encounters only using your gun when strictly necessary or when enemies have basically no cover. It's trivial in difficulty, it just requires you to dedicate about 7.5 hours of your life that you'll never get back to the most boring Uncharted experience you'll ever have.
*taking notes*
Plot twist, all of your time in the world you will never get back, so might as well using it to make yourself awesome
5 hours if u do speed run at the same walkthrough. Also the pain for you seems weird, as it feels like you consider U4 a bad game compared to older titles. Many would say it's the best in the series (especially gameplay wise).
@@thomasnielsen5580 I wasn't referring to all of Uncharted 4 as the worst Uncharted experience you'll ever have, I was referring specifically to doing a run of the longest Uncharted (even when doing a speedrun at the same time, which I did too) on the easiest difficulty settings with full aim assists, slow mo, infinite ammo, etc. is the worst experience you'll have with the series. Uncharted 4 played as it's intended is great, Uncharted 4 that basically plays itself is a boring slog.
@@georgesears934 ahh okay, like that. I would say treasure hunting is worse, because you have to watch a youtube video all the time.
I remember my brother getting frustrated with “The Last of us” because of the Co-Op trophies that required EVERY player to play and win in a team for consecutive wins. If someone lost internet connection…wet socks for everyone. My brother gave up after trying for a couple weeks.
That's DLC. Not required for plat
@@thomasnielsen5580 ah thank you. I didn’t play the game myself (I’m not great with action horror), so I must have misremembered.
@Gofio De Millo faction trophy's yes they do
@@nikkistevens1410 Multiplayer is not the same as co-op. There are no co-op trophies in TLoU.

Not only do you have multiple playthroughs for being good and bad, and for hard mode, you also have to pull of specific moves, gett on the train around town, bu you also have the scavenger hunt that is the blast shards. If you haven't been tracking where those are, you end up looking for hours on end trying to find that last one.
I seem to remember a PS3 Terminator game that will give you a platinum just for beating it, but those levels are hell on earth.
The problem with the PS3 version of Shadow of the Colossus was some sort of physics problem where Wander would lose his grip and make Time Attacks extra difficult, especially Colossus 3.
I remember playing Last Guardian while ill, which put me in absolutely the worst frame of mind for Trico to refuse to stand up in the right spot for a solid twenty minutes...
Wow, I really thought this would be a good idea for a list and I am happy to see you guys do it. I am always astonished by the percentages related to plats. One of my favorites is that more people have the platinum for Nioh 2 than for the Final Fantasy 7 remake, even though Nioh 2 is considered "hard".
To be fair, the playerbase games like Nioh are for is pretty hardcore on average. For example, From Software games tend to have pretty high platinum rates in relation to the completion rate, meaning a lot of people who don't give up early end up doing everything.
@@AlmostLikeHuman DS3, I blame the multiplayer and forced 5 respecs *or* character customizations.
I change my face a lot :(
I imagine that, while both were made available on PS+, more people downloaded FF7R than they did Nioh. I forget the trophies for FF7R, but I suspect there were a few that involved endless grinding long after the point where you easily killed all enemies in the game, too.
@@Joe90h Well I platinumed both and I think the issue was FF7R was the hard difficulty (and related bosses) was much harder than anything in Nioh 2.... but I do agree FF7R was more popular.
@@DavidRBrown7 I just realised it was Nioh that was on PS+ and not Nioh 2. That's going to be a major factor. I'd wager a lot of people installed FF7R when they got it for "free" and deleted it when it didn't immediately meet up to their needs or they didn't see the appeal.
I know I never bothered with the platinum, but I feel I did everything that game had to offer in the way of actual entertainment. Still need to go back to Nioh 1 though. Dunno, I think it just made me want to play Bloodborne instead last time I gave it a go.
I actually beat the all the Hard Mode Time Attacks in both the PS2 and PS3 versions of Shadow of the Colossus for myself and a friend, for the friend I only took on the 6 she couldn't beat not all of them. Of the 16 only 4 were the type that made me want to eat my thumbs so I wouldn't have to try any more. They were ones that if you weren't on them within 2 minutes just reset and try again. I actually haven't gotten either the fruit or the lizard trophies but was so close before my system died and erased the game data.
Got the plat for the last of us about 5 months ago, which is crazy considering the fact that I’m playing this game regularly since January of 2016.
I loved this idea and hope you do more games. I also think it'd be fun to do the opposite and look at games with the easiest platinum trophies.
I’m happy to say I’m part of that .4% for TLOU. I played through that story 40+ times just for the fun of it before I even decided to do collectibles. And the multiplayer is actually a pretty fun time once you figure it out (and it’s even better when you get the trophies and aren’t forced to worry about the actual factions bit and instead get to do it at your leisure). I’ve sunk hundreds of hours in to this game and love just about every aspect of the story and the gameplay (the opening acts rely a little too much on forced combat, which really plays against the games strengths of intense stealth and exploration in and out of combat). All of this to say that TLOU2 is still a better game and Bring Us Factions 2
TLOU2 is still the worst game I've ever seen, even comparing it to cyberfail 2077.
I platinumed the remastered but now i want to go back and platinum the ps3 one... but idk if the online still works on ps3
It’s odd for me, whilst I personally didn’t platinum TLOU, I still found myself extremely excited at the prospect of a sequel, I began playing in first free moments, and ended up being moved quite a bit by the opening section. But I personally found it disappointing, it contained so little of what the first game enraptured me with, and despite being a 3D artist marvelling over how beautiful the environments were… I just had no compelling force driving me to completion. And the rather daughter dynamic I got from the first game, was completely gone.
While TLOU2 absolutely deserves awards for technical feats and more. I cannot in good conscience recommend it to fans of the first game, when so many players of the first game won’t enjoy the second, or really get anything out of the experience that they wouldn’t get via a playthrough.
It’s strange isn’t it? How us both, big fans of the first game, can so wildly differ in opinion on enjoyment of the second?
To me, TLOU2 is a good game (for those that enjoy the much more brutal genre it falls within) but a bad sequel. Because as a sequel it alienates so much of its’ fanbase that it has compelled many to consider it non-canon. And yes some of those that were alienated didn’t give it a fair chance. But that is only some.
TLOU is the game I’ll come back every couple years to experience once again. But I couldn’t force myself to finish TLOU2.
Just get the Survivor and Survivor+ trophies while doing your Grounded and Grounded+ playthroughs 😏👉👉
@@FewNewReasonss huh how
I can imagine that both Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11 must have insanely low platinum rates because soooo many of the trophies are rooted in the online modes and it's not like the performance of your opponents and/or teammates is something you have any control over
I did both of them and the mortal x was just nuts, never again.
"Four Score and Seven Reps ago our Forefathers brought forth THE PAIN" killed me. Like Actually belly laughing out loud. I am not ok
Even worse about Shadow of the Colossus -- eating those fruits in the garden undoes the benefits gained from the lizards. Yay.
Yup, and eat enough things in the wrong order? Boom, save ruined. - E
It's worth noting that in Beat Sabre, there's also the fact that many of the people sufficiently into the game to take a serious run at the platinum are the folks who've gone "oh hang on, the PC version has an extremely robust modding community!" and went to do that instead. Why grind out perfecting the same 15 songs when you can play a virtually uncountable number of songs added by mods?
oh yes, that is true. Beat Sabre would get boring if you have that short a song list.
@@marhawkman303 As far as I know the retail version of the game has more than 15 songs, it's just hammering out that perfect score for that achievement means grinding the same song to perfection. And yes, skill with the game improves regardless, so you'll eventually full combo everything, but...by the time you're that good, you've probably found the modded scene. I don't even have the game and I'm already more interested in the modded game than the base game.

I was going to go back and get the Last of Us Platinum until I realized how extremely long I would need to play just the multiplayer by itself to get it, especially playing way after release when the only people still online are the huge fans. Same sort of thing with Doom: Eternal.
With Uncharted 4 and Doom 2016 I actually jumped in the games right after buying them just to do the multiplayer trophies so I could go back whenever I want to get the Platinum. I usually play games way after release cause I wait for them to go on sale like a year later, but this makes it really hard to platinum games with large multiplayer requirements.
As someone with 301 Platinum trophies, including hellish ones like Fall Guys and Destruction All Stars. I would like everyone to know that no, it doesn't give you enough pride to counteract the flunking of school and Uni that this achievement causes.
I know a gamer who recently died and it kind of put the total uselessness of trophies in perspective because nobody will ever log onto that account again or see those trophies again, or log onto one of their idle games again they'd been building up for a decade. I know its kind of obvious when you think about it but it just really hammered it home to me how meaningless they were
Can I have your nick of the psn? I'm just curious. I've 40 platinum
@@spartythespart that’s so depressing bruh 💀
That was a fun video! Unlike the experience of going for platinum in a lot of games, it seems.
I took one look at the trophy lists for the Uncharted series and immediately ruled out getting their platinums. Every other trophy seemed to be something like "defeat 30 enemies in 30 seconds, using only the 3rd bullet in 3 different guns, without taking damage and without touching the ground." I lack the time, patience, and probably the reflexes. Great games, but I'm not *that* much of a completionist.
They're actually not bad. The trophies you described are definitely the worst, but there are videos on where and how to do it. I had to watch a video for each trophy like that
I've never been more stressed in my life than I was watching your Tetris game play... The goal is to let the stack build up and get a Tetris. ahhhh!
Im part of the 4.3% that platinumed God of War...Sony and Santa Montica Studios actually sent me the dynamic theme early and a platinum inspired icon pack thatlooks awesome...still rocking it actually!!!
