I can imagine it is annoying if you miss a memo as there’s no chapter select which would have made it 10 times easier, at least you got there in the end

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Love the pain

Thanks that means a lot!

Thanks, I really appreciate that

You're welcome ​@@shippy4159

The best part about the game is the story anyway so don't worry to much about the platinum. Its still my game of the year!

Queens blood was great, they made a stand alone for Gwent from Witcher so there’s always a possibility

I don’t think you get anything for doing it other than bragging rights

Im glad your enjoying the content and thanks for watching, I’ll add soulistice to my list and check it out, I’m currently working on the Wolfenstein games though

@shippy4159 okay cool good luck in the second wolfenstein game heard that game is tough maibly the permadeath run good luck and i hope to see your next video

There is an awful lot of blocking and dodging in the fight especially with the shadow chains, if you’ve managed to get past Gilgamesh I’m sure you will get sephiroth down eventually

I don’t think so but you can try to see if it works easily as it’s at the beginning of the final chapter

Thanks, it was a long grind with challenge as well towards the end

A lot of people are having a love/hate relationship with the game 🤣, you will get there in the end

@@shippy4159i did it yesterday

Yes I agree that the majority of minigames were fun, the one I didn’t enjoy as much was fort condor

@@shippy4159 oh yes. I like fort condor but with the time limit and the hard versions it made me dislike it. The easy version was enjoyable at least

Congrats on getting it, 375 hours is a very very long time what did you spend so much time on?

@@shippy4159 2 be honest no clue Sometimes I had the ps5 running and not playing But the most challenging for me was golden saucer games and last vr matches My save file says 375 hours , I think u can scrap 100 hours Vr sephiroth amd vr cloud Zack was enjoying

My guess is he didn't look for walkthroughs / advices left and right

Glad you enjoyed it, I agree it’s nice to have a platinum to be challenging you get a better satisfaction out of it!

I feel the exact same I enjoyed every minute of it and never got bored

That does sound like the best strat for that boss, good advice

I completely agree with everything you said, i enjoyed the challenge and it made the experience even better for me. It’ll be my GOTY for sure

Partially agree - it gets incredibly annoying when you can easily handle the first 8 rounds but have to waste 15 minutes to get back to the one you struggle with

I’m sure it was worth it 😂😂

It’ll probably be game if the year of me!

I personally enjoyed them but I can see why some people didn’t and if it wasn’t for you that’s fine.

Spider man plats are fun as well, I just enjoyed the game a lot which is why the plat was good for me. Taking breaks is completely normal I used to do it with fromsoft games.

It was definitely fun

Thanks for watching

I loved the plat in this game, I think people dislike it because there not used to the challenge in a game as well as the length to get it

@@shippy4159 I don't even think this game was that difficult. Challenging? Certainly, but extremely difficult or even badly designed? No freaking way. Hope they don't tone down the sequel because of this.

@@devilman4018yeah with how crazy this plat is people are gonna be piss with how crazy the next one will be

I always enjoy going for platinums in games, it’s just the type of player I am wanting to experience everything the games has to offer and I never got bored of rebirth out of the 150 hours I put into it

@@shippy4159 extremely valid. My brother went through the game in 65h meanwhile I’m a good 80 hours in on chapter 10, and up til now that was me “rushing” to stay ahead of my brother before school got in the way. I’m actually happy I fell behind since now I get to take my time. I think Rebirth is definitely meant to be the type of game that is played for a long time rather than rushed through, because there really is just so much to be enjoyed

Definitely take your time with it to make it more enjoyable

I mean to be fair, it’s probably that way because they really wanted completing everything on hard to be a challenge, so they made it exactly that. It’s not the way the average player is meant to play. I’m doing all of there world intel, tolerable side quests (fuck that last chocobo flying thing I am done with that) etc but definitely not going to try to platinum this game, and I don’t need to do that. I think it is wonderful that the challenge is there for those that enjoy it, but for me at least I just want to see as much as the game has to offer, and you don’t need to complete every single thing perfectly for that. But some people do want to beat everything absolutely perfectly, and those are people looking for a challenge. Although I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that some of the mini games haven’t had me getting really frustrated. Did the Gongaga chicken quest yesterday and had to mute the voice lines because I was having so much trouble with the last one and Nanaki’s whining about it started to seriously get on my nerves. But the main point was: I think it’s okay for a platinum to be a pain in the ass because it’s completely and fully optional. There is really no extra reward for it, it’s just if you feel like doing it. I do enjoy a more-doable-on-average platinum, but I don’t think it’s a crime for a platinum trophy to be a pain in the ass because here it is clearly meant for those who want to spend a really long time with the game doing literally everything possible to perfection

I understand your points and if you don’t enjoy everything you shouldn’t feel like getting the platinum otherwise you will grow to dislike the game

@@yeontanseyebrows5588 Everything is subject to criticism. Endgame content is subject to criticism. FFVII isnt IMO a hard game when it comes to the endgame content. It is poorly designed. That is its problem. It is not hard, it is boring, annoying, repetitive and unfulfilling. By the end of it I didnt feel rewarded, i felt relief. The game is great overall, but the endgame content is some of the worst designed I have seen in recent years. Yes you are not hold at gunpoint to platinum a game, but that doesnt mean that endgame content is above any criticism and that the creators can do just about whatever they want with it. Everything should revolve around enjoyment. Even endgame content. Make it hard, but fullfiling. There really is no need for this repetition, this trial and error logic, this constant disrespect of someone's free time. I will repeat it again because i dont have a more blatant example of absolutely horrible game design than the Sephiroth boxing mini game. Pausing every punch? To be able to beat it? Really? I am baffled how this thing was printed on to the disc really. I am pretty sure that part of the intention of the devs was to troll whoever wanted to 100% this game.

I beat the OG game beginning to end dozens of times. Considering this game is supposed to be a remake of that I would assume it should follow that game closely. The original was a walk in the park by comparison to this game including the optional bosses Ruby and Emerald. If I want a dark souls level of difficulty I’ll play dark souls. This game should strive to be like the game in the title, not dark souls. If they wanted to include a masochist difficulty for people that like torturing themselves they should have made it independent of trophies and upgrades to your characters so we don’t feel obligated to endure it.

@@elwingy generally speaking I do have to agree. I’m still not terribly mad about it myself because I’m not even trying to get the platinum, but I do think there are valid points of criticism that can be made. The Sephiroth boxing thing was a good example, I definitely think that could have been designed better. At the same time, I do feel that if someone decides to force themselves to suffer through completely optional parts (with no affect on the story) that maybe could have been designed better, but also some people genuinely enjoy, then that decision is kind of on them. Could the design have used some extra work? In some cases, undeniably yes, and that’s something that can be criticised. But if you otherwise enjoyed the game there is no point in then ruining your own experience by forcing yourself to go through stuff you just do not enjoy. Basically; Criticism is completely fair, but the amount of anger and distain some people gain for the developers because of how insufferable they found some story-irrelevant completely optional side content is kind of… silly. It’s not criticising that is bad, but especially when it comes to something like this where some people actually do really enjoy the end product, it’s more voluntarily choosing the option that makes your whole experience worse if you already came to the conclusion you’re losing more than you’re gaining by pushing though. Maybe it’s more about my general concern for the way a lot of people approach gaming. Video games are wonderful and can offer great experiences of all sorts. Some frustration and struggle here and there is a part of the experience, but a lot of people end up with such a toxic mindset that it actually just ends up making them feel way worse. You usually see that with online games, but it can absolutely happen with single player stuff as well. If you feel you’re losing more than you’re gaining, if you feel your enjoyment is seriously getting reduced, that basically becomes mental self harm whether aware of it or not. Maybe the designers could have done a better job, but that’s a whole other matter. It’s regrettable if a game ends up making someone feel bad, but at the end of the day, choosing to engage with it further is the person’s own decision. I’m not saying that to defend the developers, I just think it’s a shame that some people actually just turn so angry from continually engaging in that cycle. No part of a game is beyond criticism, but consumers have some responsibility in how their experience turns out. Not saying that to shield the developers, but because I’ve noticed a trend of people shitting on games because they forced themselves to play it in a way they found unenjoyable, and they’re usually very angry people

It is a tough one, return to it again in the future sometimes a break helps

Sleep materia is your friend.

I enjoyed most of the minigames, the one I didn’t enjoy so much was fort condor

I do recommend it if you can spare 150 hours 🤣

@@shippy4159 sheeesh I’m only at 80. 😮‍💨

They were annoying for sure

@@shippy4159 it’s hilarious to see them standing there stabbing you to no effect. Then unload on them. If only that helped with White Terror!

Thanks for watching

Still a great game though

I mean yours still exists as well, it hasn’t gone anywhere. Now there is just more of them

Yeah it’s better than OG. I said it.

He does tend to get in the way a lot 🤣

@@shippy4159 Mate I'm sure the game would be 50 hours shorter if I could skip his Mansplaining!

153 hours is a good time, I found outer worlds the hardest that Gilgamesh fight was a pain. I’m jumping straight into fallout now because of the show so that’s more hours on another RPG🤣

@@shippy4159I was in the middle of a fallout 4 game play through because of the show but that update cooked my mods 😂

I just loved the game to be honest which. I why I didn’t fine it too stressful, I do understand though why some people can start to dislike it, let’s be honest you’ll still play part 3 🤣

@@shippy4159 yeah I’m lying to myself I’m going to get part 3 🤣🤣. Part from the mini games and Bonds Of Friendship that I struggled on abit it was an amazing game

The stressful part is having to change your materia around every 15 minutes...That is just so annoying...

It is a tough one especially after 200 hours, have a break from it and play something else as that helps sometimes

@@shippy4159 stellar blade😎

Stellar blade does look really good I’ll be checking it out

Good look mate, which ones you got left

@@shippy4159 The worst three of course - bonds, hero, and outer worlds

​@@cs8712Bonds is the hardest. The creator is speaking out of his ass on that one

Nice one, you should breeze past them if you’ve done rulers of outer worlds challenge

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it, challenging plats are always fun

I can say this: when I get it, it'll be satisfying as HELL!!!!

I did it the other way around. Finished the hard mode replay before tackling Bonds of Friendship, even then it took me a solid day before clearing.

@@AzimSF Honestly If I can't beat him after a few more days I may take a break and just get hard mode knocked out.

Glad you enjoyed the vid thanks for watching, sometimes it’s best to take a break and come back, you’ll probably beat it on your first couple of tries after a break

Platinums like this game are the most enjoyable because you actually have to put effort into it getting it

I agree that it was just as challenging as a soulsbourne game but I see it as a good thing as you don’t get many games anymore that are this difficult

Agreed, the combat Sim stuff is bad design. They suck and should have been toned down considerably.

⁠@@ASSEMBLOTRONthe combat sim has actually been my favorite part about the post game. The challenges are well challenging and fair. Do I think it can use a few tweaks, yeah. But do I hate the combat sim, no.

Got ist Yesterday. Oh boy what a game. The Platinum helped to see every Pixel of this beautiful game. And yes it is in parts pretty hard. So i can be a bit proud of the Achievement

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
