2nd time watching this platinum journey now. watched all 3 uncharted episodes atleast 3 times. your videos make me feel better when i'm having a down day you deserve a lot more never stop making videos and earning platinums adam :)

[@AdamMcDermott]

Wow, I'm honoured. Thank you for sharing. Don't worry, I won't be stopping any time soon. Currently editing together the biggest episode ever for the original God of War. Aiming to have it finished in 2 weeks.

Another fantastic video Adam! This is my favourite serie of all time on youtube. Keep it up!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Another fantastic video Adam! I've said it before but this is one of the few channels that has a great comments section. clearly you have very loyal fans that genuinely appreciate what you do, as do I!! Don't stop, keep it up

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, the response to the episodes is overwhelmingly positive. I love it. Don't worry, Platinum Journey will be around for a good while to come.

[@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE]

Challenge for you. BLOODBORNE.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I don't have enough time at the moment, but I would love to do Bloodborne at some point. It has the potential to be one of the best episodes ever.

[@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE]

Adam McDermott it's hard let me tell you that. Very hard

[@KratostheThird]

It's not as hard as people say it is. Once you get the mechanics down it's pretty straight forward.

[@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE]

Im Caj do you have the plat for bloodborne? The chalice dungeons are hard.

[@zacharybertoni]

You're an inspiration. Gonna use this to go back and get my platinum. Good shit Adam

[@AdamMcDermott]

I believe in you.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm afraid not. That episode would take 6-8 months to make.

[@AdamMcDermott]

DOOM took almost 2 months. The Witcher 3 takes 4 times as long to platinum. That means 4 times as much footage to go through, 4 times as much writing...it would be monstrous.

[@JudgeDredd35]

Great video and congrats on your plat! You are lucky to have it not glitch on you, as I got 90% of the trophies when I played it originally and lost all my progress because one of the challenges glitched on me!

[@uziiii.-.999]

ggs i just got my first platinum trophy on subnautica and now im gonna play doom BTW YOUR VIDS R GREAT i legit cried at the end i was so happy for u

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm glad you like it. I'm currently working on a new episode :)

[@Tat2inDego]

I'm really not grasping why you don't have more subs... There's gotta be a tipping point or something. Like one FB/Twitter share away from blowing up. Either way please don't stop the platinum journey videos. I know they probably take a lot of work with writing, creating, editing, and filming on top of actually earning the trophies (the delayed ding when you'd earn them on PS3 was one of my favorite parts lol). Anyways you're a very talented creator man and I very much look forward to the next video. Please keep up the great work

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you for the kind words. Don't worry, regardless of how popular or not the show gets, I'll keep making episodes. I enjoy it too much. Thanks for watching :)

Not a game I'd be interested in playing, but I'm glad you seemed to have fun in this one. :)

[@AdamMcDermott]

That is really nice of you to say. Thanks!

[@Alexander-tw2kw]

Great job Adam! I was one of the unlucky ones and had one single glitched trophy standing between me and the platinum. Because the game doesn't allow you to play rune challenges via "mission select" without ending your progress for the mission, I had to earn the runes trough the "rune select" in the menu, which for some reason doesn't make the trophy appear (even if I have the "upgrade all runes" trophy ) which means I'll have to start a new save file and go trough the game again

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. Oh boy, that sucks!

[@riaghan]

Literally this exact trophy glitch has happened to me, I'm getting all the collectibles and challenges through mission select and I'm going to have to start a whole new playthrough! Pretty annoying. Hope you got the plat in the end

[@Alexander-tw2kw]

@@riaghan yes, I got it the next day! Since I only needed all runes, the last levels(that don't contain runes) were not needed, which cut down on the time. Plus the game is fun anyway. Don't give up, you're close to achieving that plat!

[@riaghan]

@@Alexander-tw2kw Glad to hear it! Yeah I ain’t giving up on this, it’s a fun game and another 3-5 hours of killing demons sounds pretty good to me!

[@pdmfitness]

Hey man, currently doing my platinum playthrough of doom as we speak. Due to work, I’m having to leave my PS4 on rest mode till I can return to play it. I hope that won’t fuck me over with the glitches and what not. Out of interest how long did it take you to platinum doom ? I assume you literally did it all in 1 sitting ? And are you going to play & platinum the new doom eternal ? On a last note, great work on the video ! Very entertaining! Lucky the trophies didn’t glitch on you. I tell my friends about your channel at work, so spreading the good word of your channel for ya! Speak to you soon pal !

Hey Adam, do you mind sharing your process of figuring out which game to platinum next,because sometimes I decide I want to do a game but it ends up being to boring/long.

Normally the game interests me first, then I check out the trophy list. Once I commit to making an episode there is no going back. I'd say I would have given up on a few if it weren't for the camera rolling.

How do you get the trophy for publishing a snapmap? I tried today and it said that the doom servers were down (or something like that). Do I need PS+ inorder to do so? Im only that and The UAC away from my first platinum.

Worked fine for me when I did it a few years ago. Haven't tried Doom online since though. Best search online to see if others are having the same problem.

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

Played through the whole game and missed a bunch of stuff so I basically played through the whole thing again for collectables and didn't get the fucking rune trophy so now I get to play through AGAIN! I love this game, but holy fucking shit.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Marching through the game a third time because of bloody runes absolutely sucks. Fair play to you for your perseverance.

[@pbjent]

A little late but any tips/strategies for A Toe Into Madness Adam?

[@AdamMcDermott]

Constant movement during battle. Don't stop except for melee kills, and get moving as soon as the animation if over. I would do a loop of the battlefield, get off a few shots but not quite kill an enemy, loop around again and finish it off.

[@KeepingItFishy]

Going for this soon! Needed this for motivation! Is that the only way to get platinum, to do it all in one playthrough?!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Best of luck! This was a good while ago. I'm not sure if you can do it in multiple playthroughs. PSN Profiles normally have good guides.

[@sreehariv6532]

Do you need ps plus to get the mp trophies or internet connection is sufficient??.Also can i still obtain platinum as of right now.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yes, you need PS Plus for multiplayer. Kind of sucks. Miss free PSN from the PS3 days.

[@matthewsteciw1329]

Adam McDermott Read an article on a person who did. Ruined alot of things in his life apparently.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Is that the article where his son comes into the room and asks to go downstairs because he "feels more welcome down there.” If so, that was pretty messed up.

[@matthewsteciw1329]

[@wasrikw996]

how did you get the trophy for 5 published snap map played .. the only one I miss and does not want to jump ... please advice 🙂

[@AdamMcDermott]

From the guide is used: "From the Snapmap Menu, select Newest Maps. This area has a lot of short levels from other trophy hunters and unskilled map makers. Pick any solo-supported map and play it to its completion. Generally speaking they’ll be basic “Kill all the enemies and press a button” maps that shouldn’t take longer than a couple minutes per run. You can also complete this trophy offline by playing the default maps that are included with the game. If you can get online, however, I recommend doing that and playing new maps as stated above, as those will be a lot faster. You have to complete the map for it to count for the trophy. So Deathmatch and other competitive maps won’t count unless you can end the game somehow, which requires other players. The trophy will unlock shortly after you finish the fifth map." Link to full guide: www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/doom/290012-doom-trophy-guide-roadmap.html

[@notspider-man5765]

When you stopped playing the game, did you not close the application and put your console into rest mode or did you close the application. Did you quit at the end of a mission or in the middle of it? I would love to know this, because I’m planning to platinum this game but will like to play other games with my friends in between. Anymore details about how you played will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Here is the advice I followed from a guide on PSNTrohies.org "Because of the high amount of glitches, You should take precautions to stop them from happening. If possible, finish the game without closing the application. If you've booted it up before, even if you haven't touched campaign, then go to the PS4's Options menu and delete all saves, including the profile save. When actually playing the game, do your best to avoid missing any collectables or challenges. Additionally, earn all weapon masteries and rune upgrades, boosting by farming the requirements and reloading from checkpoints (See IDKFA and IDDQD). This is made much easier due to Maka's guide, seen below in Step 1. When you’re done with a gameplay session, put the PS4 into rest mode and suspend the game using the suspend and resume function. If you do need to close the game, back up the save onto a USB stick in the PS4’s options menu so that you have a save to roll back to in case of a glitch. If any trophies do glitch on you, even after reloading a save or attempting it multiple times, I’m afraid your only option as of right now is to delete ALL saves for the game, including the profile save, and redo it from scratch. Unfortunately this is the last resort." Link to full guide. The note on glitches is near the start. www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/doom/290012-doom-trophy-guide-roadmap.html

Adam McDermott its the truth bro👍🏻 Keep up the good content👊🏼

[@GenerationWest]

About two years ago, I played, and beat this and got ALL the trophies... Except for "Toe Into Madness". Cut to 2 years later, I platinumed Arkham Knight and some of hard DLC trophies and thought "You know what? I can beat Doom!". So I booted it up, died a minute in... Tried it again, and on exactly midnight, got the Platinum... The bane of my existence, defeated!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Excellent! So satisfying.

[@mspeely8128]

Can you please do a setup video ? and what will be your next platinum ? :D
