Broken Sword's Platinum Trophy is THE GOAT

I got the Platinum trophy in Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars: Reforged! Here's the story of how I got it.

[@AndyCandyZeroSugar]

"Paris in the Fall" is one of those lines etched into my memory. Growing up my family and I would refer to this game as "the one with the Clown". So many memorable moments. The chilling hospital encounter, the museum with Andre calling us "Georgie", earning the trust of Lopez and the Countess. I could only now many years later and with proper English knowledge understand the tragedy of what happened there. The deadly encounter(s) at the Hotel Ubu, the Syrian adventure, the outwardly cheerful Irish scenario and of course the bombastic finale! Love it to this day, replayed it several years ago, followed by the second one which I also adore! What a lovely surprise! Twice now you've played games that shaped my childhood! I'm curious if other games will pop up, ones I cannot see getting remastered. Very excited to watch this!

[@AxMania]

Yeah, this game is absolutely brilliant! It is so well-written, with so many iconic lines, and what I really appreciated playing it this time was how insanely funny it is. The humor in the game is just right up my alley 😂 Haha, I'm happy to be able to surprise you, and awesome that we share this game! I hope you liked the video!

[@AndyCandyZeroSugar]

@@AxMania Loved your video, as always! Appreciated you didn't go into puzzle details, as I'm getting the itch to replay the game once again! Let me share two more memories from my childhood, well before I could speak English. After enraging Arto, I was certain Ultar would kill us if we clicked on the phrase, so I never did. The second was clicking on the buzzer when talking with Nico, which I thought was an innocent hand shake. Her cold refusal made me think it was impolite to shake hands with ladies.

Broken Sword's soundtrack is CRIMINALLY underrated. That opening music sting alone was enough as a kid to tell me "yeah, this game is going to stick with you forever"

[@AxMania]

Absolutely, the game has a wonderful soundtrack.

[@fragile113]

One of the best channels without any irony.

[@AxMania]

Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😮🥰

[@wesleybcrowen]

This remaster is one of the most decent applications of AI upscaling/generation I've seen yet. It is also a "good" twin to the "evil" Director's Cut.

[@AxMania]

Agreed. I really didn't like the Director's Cut 😕

[@MRem-mx8uq]

Agree

[@Yungbeck]

Your fine taste in games continue to somewhat warm my cold, dead heart. Love a good platinum journey vid gg man ! I'm all for remasters and re-makes lol, sue me

[@AxMania]

Haha, thanks man! 😃 Oh, I'm not gonna sue you, because I'm basically the exact same. Most of the games I've played this year are remasters and remakes 😅

[@JPgreekgaming]

Broken sword might be my favourite point and click franchise after Monkey Island. This is such a pleasant surprise!

[@AxMania]

Seriously, I want both Broken Sword II and The Curse of Monkey Island remastered so bad!

[@Jenkinsmum]

4:41 Love your Irish impression. Congrats on getting all the trophies in a single playthrough. I never thought you could make adventure games this interesting with tropgies. I'd welcome a Toonstruck remaster if the budget is smaller than the 3 million dollars it cost to make it in the first place.

[@AxMania]

Haha, thank you! 😂 And thank you so much for watching! I've never played Toonstruck unfortunately, so I'd love that as well. What I REALLY really want however, is a remaster of The Curse of Monkey Island.

[@miroslavzima8856]

I know you told me you will come with something, when I was quite sad the Tomb Raider is over, but I didn´t know you really came up with SOMETHING! Whoa, I didn´t expect you to look into adventure heaven! And you have absolute respect for that, man! This is my first ever adventure game from gaming magazine SCORE. If you are planning to continue in adventure games, I am looking forward :) Awesome video, enjoyed that!

[@AxMania]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. I love those adventure games from the 90's so much. What I really want now, is a remaster of Broken Sword II of course, but also of The Curse of Monkey Island. Have you played that?

[@miroslavzima8856]

@@AxMania Oh god, yes! I´ve played Curse of Monkey Island and even if you already played that once, I totally reccomend to play it again! One of my most favourite MI in the series :)

[@mdqp2]

Playing through the remaster myself these days (me and my brother played the first two games who knows how many times), one of the best adventures I have ever played.

[@AxMania]

Enjoy your playthrough! They've done an absolutely amazing job with it.

[@Mattwbw]

I backed the Kickstarter so I’m waiting for the collectors edition. I’ll be getting it next year. Really looking forward to it. I played it on PS1 back in the day. And on GBA.

[@AxMania]

So did I, cheers! 😃

[@zelgadis115]

Did not take you for Broken Sword fan, what a surprise! The only trophy I struggled with was "Fish Food", Rosso would always refuse to talk to me after his tantrum about Templars!

[@AxMania]

Haha, well, if you think about... Tomb Raider and Broken Sword have quite a few similarities. Yeah, I think I got really lucky with the trophy, as I suspect it's only possible to get that dialogue with them in-between the museum robbery and the secret Neo Templars meeting. I think.

[@classixgamer5922]

2 is my favourite too

[@AxMania]

I just love that Central American setting so much!

[@clairexx4611]

Oh cool! I didn't know that you're a Broken Sword Fan too. I love this game with all my heart. It's a big part of my childhood. The first game will always be my favorite. And I'm so excited for the sixth game (haven't heard anything about that for a while now..). These games have a special charm. George and Nico are just awesome characters, very well written. Also almost everything I know about the Templars is because of this game. I'm not too fond of the second game.. Just because of the writing, George was so rude sometimes, and some jokes felt forced. But I agree, I want that game to get reforged too! Congrats to get the platinum trophy (I failed, because I didn't let Nico talk too the painter three times or something at the Site de Baphomet)! And thanks for another great video. If you'll ever make more Broken Sword videos, I'll watch them right away. :)

[@AxMania]

Oh, that's awesome to hear! 😃 Yup, this game is just perfect. I used to play it once a year. I'm so happy about this remaster, and they've just done an amazing job with it. I agree, this game is so well-written. I love so many characters from it, and it's also extremely funny. I keep noticing new little details, every time I play it. Regarding Broken Sword 2, I just adore the whole Central American setting. The bad thing about the game is that it feels somewhat rushed. I think it can be completed in 3 hours or so, it's crazy. But yeah, I really hope it will be reforged too. You can do it, there's a very handy chapter select in the game. Thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that! I've actually thought about doing a series ranking.

[@clairexx4611]

@@AxMania A ranking of the series would be so cool! I think even the "worst" of these games do many things right, so I'd love to hear your opinion of every game. Thank you so much again. You made a bad monday so much better with this. :)

[@AxMania]

@@clairexx4611 Aw, thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that!

[@teomatic_]

Love this game! Glad it got some love again this year!

[@AxMania]

Same, and I really hope this means the sequel will get reforged as well.

[@bepisgrandmaster]

are we getting tomb raider remastered gold?

[@SethMcKenzieTV]

I genuinely love this game so much so I respect your taste in gaming 😎 but I'm waiting for the physical release so don't want to watch this yet to spoil the new visuals. I'll watch it once I play it myself 😁

[@AxMania]

Hi Seth! That's awesome to hear, thank you so much 😎 Yeah, I remember you talked about Broken Sword 3 in your video showcasing games similar to Tomb Raider. Enjoy your playthrough when the time comes!

[@ThePMMpc]

wait. did you upload this video again? i think i have a deja vu. i literally watched it before

[@AxMania]

That's because you are a member and got Early Access 😉 I've only just now released it to the masses 😃

[@ThePMMpc]

@@AxMania i like the deja vu tea better :P

[@ThePMMpc]

@@AxMania also i thought i like the video and commented on it b4

[@AxMania]

@@ThePMMpc You did! But with Early Access, I can spot errors and fix them before I release the video to everyone else, which unfortunately means that the original upload for Members will be replaced 😞 I always make sure to save comments posted on videos that are deleted however, so I still have your comment ☺

[@scottneil1187]

Unfortunately not on ps4 just like the new Monkey Island. Apparently the excuse is it's 'too hard' to port them, rubbish.

[@AxMania]

Yeah, that's really weird...
