Insane to think it's been a decade already! I joined when you did South Park: The Stick of Truth, what a journey it's been. Here's to the next 10 years!

[@AdamMcDermott]

My, that South Park episode was a good while ago. Thanks for sticking around. Don't worry, I'll be making episodes for many more years to come.

[@thepatientgamer98]

Adam is legit the only youTuber I see upload and go "Hell Yeah!"

[@AdamMcDermott]

That brought a smile to my face. Thank you.

[@SuperNeos2]

Fun fact about Ghost of Tsushima, you actually don’t need a guide for collectibles. You can set the Divine Wind to lead you to collectibles in the options menu. Makes it way better than having to follow a guide

[@AdamMcDermott]

Oh, that is handy. Must have forgotten about that.

[@AndrewThomas-zu1xo]

Congrats on 10 years now! Such a wondeful ride this entire decade, looking forward to more episodes of Platinum Journey! 🥳🎉

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Yes, many more episodes to come.

[@Silver-5-0-5]

My favourite video of your platinums is Vice City. It was an extreme grind, but when that music kicks in towards the end when you achieve platinum, it's just pure magic. Loved that video.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. I'm quite proud of that episode. Everything came together so well. Delighted that is your favourite episode.

[@seblewis4944]

Best quality videos in the trophy hunting genre. Keep up the good work. You deserve a much bigger audience.

[@AdamMcDermott]

That is very nice of you to say. Thank you.

[@michaelmongelluzzo6953]

Your videos have inspired me to go back and work on certain platinums. I don't always agree with your assessment of games but that will never stop me from tuning in. Congrats on 10 years and here's to ten more!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Honoured my videos inspired you. It is alright that we disagree at times. Life would be rather dull if we all agreed all the time.

[@DiamondDogApollo]

While I haven’t been here since the beginning, I’ve watched all your platinum journeys and I love them all, even the ones you look back on and wish had gone better. For all your kind words of encouragement and patience whenever I leave comments under your videos talking about my own ups and downs with trophy hunting, I just want to say thank you!

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm honoured you have watched every episode. We are all our own worst critics. You are more than welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@DuggyDarko]

10 years! Congratulations mate. 10 more to come!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Yes, many more years to come.

[@KobatheASMRbiker]

10 years of awesome Plat journeys. And I remember when I first found your channel with the MGS2 plat and how that incited me to even try it. It was the most fun, frustrating and awesome time I ever had being challenged especially with those damned VR missions. Heres to many, many more years, Adam!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. MGS2 is a great first episode, I'm quite proud of that one. Haha, the platinum is something else. Cheers, the future is bright!

[@DanTheMAN21-0]

Congratulations Adam on 10 years been watching now for about 3 and I’m looking forward to the next video as I look fondly of what you have done with the channel so far ps I love different worlds.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Always cool to hear when folks started watching my videos. Good news about Different Worlds, I'm currently editing the next episode which will be Luang Prabang, Laos.

[@gears6476]

Love this channel. I’m not sure if you’re a fan of Final Fantasy but I’m currently trying to get the Rebirth platinum and it’s extremely difficult. Would make for a great video if you took that challenge on. Cheers

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Yep, I'm a fan. Played a bunch of X and XII. Also interested in XVI. I'm waiting for them to finish the full VII remake before diving in. X is probably going to get an episode in the coming years.

[@danbiddle138]

Amazing! Your videos are the only ones I have the notifications set to “Notify all” and as soon as I get a notification I run to KZbin to watch it. I believe you’re too hard on yourself when It comes to your own videos. I love them all. They’re all top tier level in my opinion. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. That’s insane. But it definitely has been a wonderful Journey. Thank you and can’t wait for more. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm honoured you have notifications set for me. Ah sure, we are all our own worst critics. Thank you, I'm looking forward to continuing to make videos for many years to come.

[@pippinbambam]

The Batman: Arkham Asylum video is a special one to me. It was one of the first videos of yours I watched. I was going for the platinum at the time, and I watched that video countless times in the process to keep me inspired, and to not lose hope on those challenge rooms. I love that segment in it where you're playing really late at night, and you have those shots of the night sky timelapse. The Vice City episode sticks out to me as well, not only because I love VC, but because watching it was my last ever memory of the PlayStation 4. You released the video on the same day I got my PlayStation 5. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us for all these years!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cool to hear Batman was one of my first videos you watched. Delighted I could inspire you. That sky timelapse was something new I wanted to try, so happy you liked that part. Wow, what cool timing for the Vice City episode. I'm honoured you've joined me on my adventures over the years. Here is to many more to come!

[@gustylikewind4006]

Hey Adam! Huge congrats on 10 years. I remember stumbling upon your Last Of Us Journey many years ago, and you’ve been one of my favourite creators ever since. You always manage to engross me in your playthroughs, whether it’s a crushing challenge or a personal tale. I always go back to that Last Of Us video and it never fails to entertain. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the future! Keep being you Adam.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Wow, that is many, many years ago. I'm honoured to be one of your favourites. Cheers. Thanks for sticking around over the years.

[@PlatinumROB_91]

Always fun to take a trip down memory lane. Look forward to the future episodes, and to 10 more years! 🎉

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you so much. Delighted you enjoy my videos. 40 is great, I'm only on 55. You are catching up. Haha, nothing wrong with playing on easy. Outside of Platinum Journey I play quite a few games on easy like Tomb Raider. Just want to relax and have fun.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you very much, buddy. Always like chatting to you when we can.

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

10 years! its so cool to see how you evolved throughout the years, not only on understanding what kind of editing goes with each kind of game but also the script, the cinematics and music choices to set a mood, this is to me what differentiates you from other trophy hunter youtubers, it feels so refreshing! here's to many, many more years of Platinum Journey to come!

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

on another note, have you ever thought about doing a platinum journey for the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games? they're such amazing games with touching story while having some of the funniest and also grindiest side stuff lol, if not, I highly recommend at least playing them for yourself!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Glad you appreciate the effort. Each episode is a labour of love and is tailored to the game I'm covering. As for your question, I've played a bit of Yakuza Zero but kind of lost interest unfortunately. The trophy lists look a bit insane, can't say they will be getting episodes.

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

@AdamMcDermott I understand, I wouldn't say it's necessarily hard, but there's so much that you gotta do, so many minigames, including Japanese gambling games that you do need to learn, not to mention the other miscellaneous stuff that counts for completion, even me who absolutely love these games have my moments of "do I wanna proceed with this?" lol, but they are amazing games, their story, characters are all amazing!

[@alexoshdx]

Great video! I admire your patience 😅

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. I'm not patient all the time, haha

[@Siosal01]

Just got the Arkham Asylum Platinum yesterday. 12 hours for the story and Riddler stuff, 20 hours for the challenges. Holy heck! Great idea for a video.

It was nice for me to make too. Haha, they will find a way to keep releasing The Last of Us and I'll keep making episodes about it.

[@carljonsson23]

Forbidden West should be a future Platinum Journey. it's a journey worth taking and I personally enjoyed it. Congrats on 10 years.

New to the channel here, going straight to the Resident Evil 4 Remake video now because this was so good!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Welcome to the channel. The RE4 remake video is an interesting one to start with, it is the longest one. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@joakim1462]

Great video. You are such a humble guy Adam. ❤ You inspired me to platinum Doom 2016. And then I went for it alone in Doom Eternal. I can really recommend it. The only thing thats grindy is the multiplayer trophies but if you got a friend you can get all of them in a few hours. Doom Slayer needs you 🤪 🇸🇪

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. I'm honoured I inspired you. Doom Eternal looks good. Unfortunately, there are so many great games, impossible to cover them all.

Dead Space 2 will always be my favourite. Felt like the first episode where you really tested yourself!

[@AdamMcDermott]

A classic. It was the first episode which tested me. Opened up so many difficult platinums for potential episodes. If the Dead Space 2 episode didn't turn out as well as it did, there might never have been a Metal Gear Solid 2 or 4 episode.

[@CosmicBaller1]

God of War 2 doesn’t have the difficulty but God of War 3 you have to play on the hardest difficulty but can cheat it with God mode.

Arkham Asylum is a c tier for me, videos for collectibles and challenge rooms of course, for challenge rooms you can follow along with a video and how to beat it, very easy plat in my opinion however I can understand how there may be issues, I’d like to see you platinum Arkham City and Arkham Knight

[@suryaramprakash5455]

I Just got the Platinum for South Park Stick of Truth on PS3 Making it Platinum #51, Trust me, I had to Follow a Guide because this Platinum is a Missable Nightmare. I’m not Kidding when I say this but I missed a Chinpokemon in a Story Quest as I was doing the Clean up after the Final Boss and Already did the Side Quests for Mr Hankey Aka the Christmas Poo , The Mayor of South Park, & Uncle Jimbo and I also Made sure to Obtain Every Outfits and Weapons for the Trophy. After those I had to Reload my Save from The Final Level of the Game for that Chinpokemon I Missed and Thankfully it was the Last Level of the game because if it was Somewhere Else, Even all the way back to the Beginning, I would Be Mad because that Last Chinpokemon would’ve changed Everything (for Both Trophies for Finding all Chinpokemons & Having 120 Friends) if I had just gotten it before the Final Boss, I would Never have to reload my Save from Clyde's Fortress.

What’s your Favorite & The Most Proudest Platinum you gotten? Mine is Spiderman Miles Morales but I give it to Resident Evil 3 for being the Shortest easiest platinum this game has to offer especially I got it in 3 days back in December 2021 5 days before 2022. Also My most Proudest Platinum of All Time is The Evil Within and it stays there because I won’t do any other Games that have a 9/10 and above in terms of difficulty and when it requires 100+ hrs of grinding for the Platinum. My Hardest Platinums I Earned 1. The Evil Within, " All Because of the Dreaded Akumu Mode Where Every Single Enemy 1-Hit Kills You" 2. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2, "It was a Grind, Leveling up to 100, Landing the Hard-Get Theres & All Gaps in all Maps 3.South Park Stick of Truth, "It was a Missable Nightmare!!!!!" 4.Resident Evil 4 Remake, "It was Challenging Because of Getting A S+ Rank on Professional" I cried When I Died During the Jet Ski Section While Going for The S+ On Professional and Have to Start Chapter 15 All Over Again Because thats Where I made my Last & Final Save. 5. Batman Arkham Asylum, "Very Very Though Because of the Combat Challenges"

[@AdamMcDermott]

Favourite, probably Dead Space. I've gotten the platinum twice and still enjoy playing it. Proudest is probably Metal Gear Solid 2, some of those VR missions literally felt impossible. That is a good list you have. Lot of excellent games on it.

I probably would have put bloodbornes trophy list a bit higher. Yeah the chalice dungeons are a pain but there is a chalice glyph that lets you skip them all and just do the last one. Wish I knew that though. But I’m probably biased since it’s my favourite game.

[@LeonardoDaVinci_1452]

The one thing in Psychonauts that’s really difficult for me is the punching minigame. Even after almost a decade of trying just can’t get the timing down. It’s especially bothersome because it’s the only thing that’s preventing me from getting the Platinum. Tried it both on PS4 AND PS5 and still nothing.

That bit is annoying. I found learning the pattern to be a good strategy, know where they are going to appear and prepare myself. Still takes a bit of luck though because the strikes aren't always accurate.

I'm afraid not. The only Assassin's Creed game that interests me is Black Flag, which I've played through. The trophy lists are a bit dull unfortunately.

[@joemarshall5236]

Defo should play horizon forbidden west! Great game and i enjoyed it more than the first horizon game. Was a big surprise for me and one of my favourite games i got the plat for last year

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you for the recommendation and information. I hope to get around to Forbidden West someday.

[@mynameisdanielnotdan5776]

Doubt you can tell us but do you have any plans to meet up with the plat gang again in the future

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yes indeed. We are all meeting again in September. Not sure if there will be any videos from it - hard to bring so much video equipment with us, but we'll take some pictures at least.

Modern Warfare 2 episode was better than a B (for entertainment value). The fun episodes are the ones where you struggle and have a personal story to go along with the game. I've never been so entertained watching a man do a tutorial. The episodes that showcase a game's cutscenes and bosses aren't as interesting, unless I like the story and characters (which I usually don't - it's the game's fault, not yours). For example, Metal Gear Solid 3 was fun for me, but I've never played and have no interest in The Witcher, so that one passed me by.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Haha, glad you enjoyed the MW2 episode so much. Fun way of putting it, "I've never been so entertained watching a man do a tutorial." I can understand that. Each game has its own merits, I tend to focus on what interests me the most about it. Sometimes it is the characters, story or world, sometimes it is man vs. game. Having a bit of variety is nice. If I was bashing my head against the wall for every episode it would be repetitive.

[@shawnmahoney6022]

Congratulations on 10 years Adam. One of the reason people don’t like Horizon Forbidden West is because Aloy is a dick to her friends for no reason. The game is also really boring. It doesn’t seem too hard to platinum, but it’s just boring. A game that isn’t boring and fun to platinum is Still Wakes The Deep, you should it a try.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Ah, thanks for the clarification as well as the recommendation.

[@PetSymmetry]

I love the witcher 3 episode the most

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm happy to hear. Quite happy with how it turned. Some of the most fun I've had making an episode, almost didn't want to finish it.

[@jamh666init]

Yeah Mile High is tough. And Loose Ends in MW2 at the end of the mission getting back down the hill on veteran. If you have no smoke grenades left you are f*cked😂

[@AdamMcDermott]

I spent so long on that section in MW2, haha. Seemed to be complete luck when I finally beat it.

[@TheMasterUnity]

By far the worst 100% I've done is Persona 4 Golden. Requires a minimum of two full playthroughs (of an 80 hour game no less) and 10-15 hours of grinding minimum for some achievements. Not to mention almost requiring a guide for the book/social link achievements. I was reduced to a husk by the end of that one.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Oof, that is rough

[@IanAZ2023]

Adam you look like your losing some weight! Looking good bro! Cheers!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. I've lost 8kgs/17lbs. Just doing more walking and exploring now that I'm not in Ireland for a while. The weights has just melted off. Happy you noticed.

[@IanAZ2023]

@@AdamMcDermott curious where are you now?

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@IanAZ2023 I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The previous 3 months I was in Laos. Heading back to Ireland in 5 weeks.

[@Thereal1ceman.]

Actually my first platinum one more year is 10 years old

[@IanMcGarr]

Guitar!!! 😮

[@AdamMcDermott]

Not mine, haha. Unfortunately, I can't play any instrument. I put it is frame to liven up the background.

[@GenBuckTurgidson88]

Do Elden Ring and RDR2, Elden Ring is the easiest platinum I've ever done believe it or not. Can't say the same about RDR, it's still lightyears ahead of the competition and a joy to play though.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Elden Ring is getting an episode later this year. Red Dead 2 is unlikely, the multiplayer grind really turns me off.

[@GenBuckTurgidson88]

@@AdamMcDermott It's not good and more of a long term plat in my opinion, you'd have to be insane to tackle it from start to finish without time off. I've hit a wall last couple of days so I'm having a break, she's a big girl.

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@GenBuckTurgidson88 Haha, a big girl indeed. Best of luck to you!

[@PersianGamer36]

Metal gear solid 4 is my favorite game but I did all the completions things before the trophies were patched in and I can’t make myself do it again. U just wanted to flex it which I do same with metal gear rising

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, don't blame you for not wanting to do everything for MGS4 again. It is a lot.

[@PersianGamer36]

@@AdamMcDermott mad props to you for doing it tho. Thank you for the great content

[@PersianGamer36]

Metal gear solid rising is my hardest plat by far. The trophy list is so bad and grindy by no means is that a fun trophy when u have to beat the game 12 times

[@dorijandanger]

How is your playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 going?

[@AdamMcDermott]

Kind of lost interest unfortunately. Instead I've been playing Thronebreaker, the Gwent game. Not sure if I'll get back to Red Dead 2.

[@giuseppe-xd8ty]

Surely a red dead redemption 2 platinum on the way ?

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm afraid not, the multiplayer really turns me off. Also, I started playing the game just for fun and kind of lost interest. If there was a version with mp trophies, I'd be more inclined to cover it.

[@hi_there3973]

I finished mile hile club on veteran last week and the trophy didn't pop

[@AdamMcDermott]

Well that just sucks

[@crotgb]

You gotta try hollow knight

[@AdamMcDermott]

I've played, beaten and loved Hollow Knight. Was completely hooked on it for a couple of weeks. Magical experience.

[@crotgb]

@@AdamMcDermott would of been a good video

[@sonsofliberty9630]

Never try CoD W@W. That one is a bit**.

[@clivejo8276]

YYYAAARRRRR

[@Yacine_21uk.]

Only hard platinum I see here is sekiro rest is mid

[@AdamMcDermott]

To each their own. I found Metal Gear Solid 2 and Shovel Knight much harder.
