I have failed so many Platinum Trophies over the last 12 months, it's been a real issue. My Trophy Hunting motivation has really bene put to the test this year. In this video I discuss every Platinum Trophy I tried to earn and failed to beat over the last 12 months and why i failed it. I think it creates an interesting dialogue hearing this story. As a Platinum Trophy Content Creator, I think it's important to share the positives and negatives of this hobby. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks to War Thunder for partnering me with this video and yes the clips of the constant crashing was me playing the game.

[@nytesla_punk3327]

I think it's good to fail these games. No one should legitimately feel pressured by the completion percentage. My completion percentage is 62% Hunting Grounds was an amazing plat for me. But I am a very patient gamer. And just loved stomping around as a Predator. It took me maybe around 150 hours exactly. But my proudest.

[@PlatinumBro]

Yeah I 100% agree man! To be honest with predator I was just getting pressured to boost in lobbies by the people I was playing with and no one actually wanted to play the game normally which really ruined it for me

[@ElPistoleroLuisSuarez]

99% missing 4 trophys in KH3 but wont pressure myself to finish it

[@squeaker375]

You may have failed these platinums, but you’ll never fail to disappoint me

[@PlatinumBro]

you are honestly, my hero

[@frado9194]

Games like ff7 you always gotta play through once at least blind, cuz there’s so many missables you’ll ruin the game for yourself.

[@PlatinumBro]

I agree. I was so silly with it man

[@elmajico128]

It really depends on what are your goal. To me, a 3rd playtrhought to get the platinum would have been like the worst. So happy to play my first playtr knowing what to do and not blind. It was and it is a masterpiece, the platinum was a fantastic journey and I enjoy every second of hit. But a 3rd playtr cpuld easily destroy the experience. So, IMO, for trophy hunters efficency is the key, blind run are often a big time lost.

[@PhenomRom]

@@elmajico128 do you care about enjoying the games or do you care about getting the platinum trophy

[@frado9194]

@@elmajico128 dude, you can keep watching 20 preemptive videos to plan out a trophy run. Or, hear me out, you play the game once how it’s meant to be played. THEN, we get ‘tistic about it. To each their own, but games are meant to be enjoyed intuitively. Without an extra check list, so give them a shot that way first. Sorry for the rant, just my opinion. I’m not mad at you bro.

[@elmajico128]

@@PhenomRom i enjoy the game while platinum it, if not i let it without platinum or 100% and start another one. Just saying what keep u entertain, it s not what keeps entertain me. I ve been playing videogames since i was 5 man, i want something more than a storyline and I play mainly for passion and platinums (i have 3k hours on Apex, 1.5k hours on Path of Exile, 10k hours on pokemon from Yellow to Scarlet/Violett). I play a lot of stuff without even the achievement, just fot pure passion. But no, reading a guide to maximize my experience and efficiency doesn t take away any funny. After ~20 years of gaming, i can read a guide without being spoiled at all, i can live the experience of a new game as it is (like ff7 is not the case, letteraly a remake of a masterpiece that I played like 100 times on the OG ps1) and keep being efficiently in one of my main gaming goal: Platinum games (second only to HAVE FUN).

This is the end game phase of trophy hunting. Its very liberating not to feel the anxiety over a plat.

100%, it’s so freeing

I failed getting the Concord platinum. Getting to rank 100 was my last trophy and I couldn't do it in time. Actually... Concord failed me?

[@PlatinumBro]

Concord 100% failed you

[@l33_generic37]

I failed hogwarts legacy because one of the quests glitched, and i cant force myself to go back through it just yet. Eventually ill go back and pop the platinum but my god man thats a long game to be held up by just a glitch.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla killed Ubisoft games for me. At least for trophy hunting. The game over stayed it's welcome after about 20 hours. But it took over a 100 to 100% it

[@PlatinumBro]

I agree . It was just disgusting

[@battlep0t]

I shamefully have 100% for that game. Platinum, all DLC expansions, rogue like mode, combat challenges took me 240 hours 😅

​@@battlep0t why u did this if u wasnt enjoying😭?

[@GemMintCollectibles]

I had to do a second playthrough for that FF7 trophy for the plat. Doesn’t take long actually

[@OtterloopB]

After platinuming Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and Granblue Fantasy: Relink back-to-back... platinum hunting really nosedived for me. Both of those games took serious dedication and time due to the sheer amount of stuff you had to do... and it left my passion for platinums in pieces. It was just too much. Sure, I eventually got the platinums for both games... But now I don't care much anymore. If I snag a plat, neat. If a game is left at 18% completion, so be it. I don't want games to cause me that level of exhaustion again.

[@Spyro757]

What can you tell me about eiyuden chronicles

[@ArmielFortis]

I gave up on 2 platinum trophies,Batman Arkham City because those riddler challenges almost destroyed my sanity and GTA V, because of one multiplayer trophy (win every single race) and i do t regret one bit for giving up on them

[@cloudyuk]

I completely get the burnt out with single player games and the platinum hunting. I've only just got back into turning on the console after months away from it, and I've had to start with a Lego game to ease myself back in and be able to dip in and out without forgetting a big storyline.

[@thewhitewolf7241]

Having just platinumed AC: Mirage, it's not bad for an open world Ubisoft game. Collectibles are generally manageable and the game is fairly streamlined. The two worst trophies were breaking 20 scaffolding (since they are very uncommon and needs to be done as a grind) and being in combat for 10 minutes straight (which involves finding one bloke out in the desert and dodging him for 10 minutes straight.) 4 months without a plat? I'm at 6 days and am getting blue balls. Granted I'm working on my Halloween themed games which I don't want to start popping until October 1st. Maybe I have a game to clean up.

[@PlatinumBro]

I probably just didn’t give it enough of chance to be honest just was too burnt out from open worlds to even look at it properly ha

[@hlcooper]

for the 10 minute combat trophy there was a spot in the desert i used where you could get into combat with snakes where they would strike but not be able to hit you which i used to get the trophy

[@thewhitewolf7241]

@@hlcooper Really? Man. I went to the quarry, aggroed the guard at the front, and just dodged into him for 10 minutes. A snake would have been a lot easier.

[@jane1975]

@thewhitewolf7241: I used a snake for the combat one, the scaffolding one was the one I got before the Platinum which I got last year [ took me 3 weeks ].

[@wardenofwisps442]

Awe I enjoyed the fallout 76 plat. I just need a new run through for my last 2 trophies for the 100% but to lazy lol

[@OrlandoGouveiaaa]

For me, platinum hunting I had to be all in or completely not at all. Countless hours of grinding but the "reward" of seeing 0 gaps on your profile kept you invested. The moment I lost that passion for seeing the numbers grow I find it all so tedious now. For me it's purely just fun now, and I kinda chuckle at how addictive it got! Looks like you went through something similar bro :D

[@PlatinumBro]

100% feel the same. It all feels tedious and when you know a trophy is long because some developer wants you to play it beyond the length of the game it just feels like I’m getting mugged off haha

[@milkyraygaming9839]

Good job on picking your fights! I'm going back to watch your Fallout 76 video just for supporting something you liked to play. Keep up the good work!

[@PlatinumBro]

Much appreciated!

[@danbutler682]

I starred helldivers 1 at the beginning of the year. That's a game I gave up on. Did about 60% of the trophies, but it burnt me out so quickly so kudos for getting the platinum bro!

[@PlatinumBro]

hahaa i know that feeling! thanks man, I had a few friends to play with that helped alot

[@Limitbreakersbane]

I like how you are the only Platinum KZbinr that has a burnout phase. It's almost like you came crashing down from the sugar rush high of the Barbie Phase - all you Kenergy is spent. And now we await to see how Platbro/GoslingBro will rise again.

[@PlatinumBro]

hahahaha this is true - I have been around for longer than most and I try and keep it real, most just won't talk about it. I like to share my thoughts in a very stupid way ha I am always kenough though

[@WalnutGames]

Some of the points made in this video especially about having a scatter brain and going on your phone are just so relatable man. I haven't been collecting achievements for that long (4 years) but I'm done man, gaming has felt so samey and stale for ages. It also sucks that a lot of the games I do wanna play cost so much money lol

[@PlatinumBro]

glad you can relate to my struggles buddy yeah they are super spenny hahaha

[@platinum_vault]

It is refreshing to see the trend of leaving a 100% mentality behind. I was never a completionist, but I pushed myself too hard, because I wanted 75% completion rate. What ever the reason is for leaving a game behind, it is a good decision. Loved the video.

[@PlatinumBro]

Thanks man! Yeah it’s not worth the torture sometimes

[@alexashby4475]

Great video. I’ve also had a change this year in how I spend my time. Haven’t earned a plat since April. I get too bored now doing grinds, compared to last year when I was doing stuff like Black Ops 3 lol. I can happily leave a game incomplete now

[@PlatinumBro]

i am exactly the same my man. I just get bored and i don't think our hobbies should bore us or feel like a chore

[@nighttiger2053]

Bro you got this Skyrim and Mirage Platinum isn't repetitive just time consuming you got this bro go and get them Platinums Mate

Great games tbf

For FF7, there's a glitch in Cosmo Canyon where you can boost your relationship with Barrett if needed to.

[@PlatinumBro]

Oh my god

[@thegolden4th]

I've been very back and forth this year. Got a massive jolt of gaming energy once i moved out. But now it's dwindling a bit. I think my goal for the end of the year is to get to 285 plats, currently on 277. Cause i dont want the burn out

[@PlatinumBro]

yeah don't burn out like me haha I think goal setting towards number of platinums a year is always a bit dangerous

[@BlackHoon]

My completion percentage is terrible because I've got a bunch of unplatinumable PS3 games attached to it

[@brettcole9986]

I totally understand leaving games and not going back. I've done that as well with many until someone dares me to go back and get that platinum. You need to enjoy your gaming and plays games that fit your play style. Never let someone influence that decision. I love your videos and I also go back and listen to your podcasts. If you do decide to go back and play one of the games please choose Final Fantasy 7 I had a great time with it and I got the platinum when I made the same mistake you did. So I get it. Stay gold

[@PlatinumBro]

Yeah man I think it’s just the best way. Balance it out. Your hobbies shouldn’t feel like a chore Stay frosty baby

[@PatriXX92]

That‘s why I have two accounts. One for the games I really want to plat with a high completion rate and one for the casual games I just want to enjoy. 😅

[@TheDarkGermanGamer]

Commenting a bit late this time because I haven't been feeling well the last few days 🤒 There is nothing wrong with taking a break or giving up on a platinum. Dragging yourself through a terrible trophy list isn't worth it but I can understand how it can be even harder for content creators if you're trying to make a video about your platinum trophy journey. I have currently the opposite problem. I have earned barely any plats this year because I have been unwilling to give up on an extremely time consuming trophy list: FF14. I'm slowly getting closer to earning 100% of the trophies. Currently only 8 users on PSNP have managed to do it and I hope I'll be able to do it too. This video has reminded me that I still haven't completed FF7 and the remake. Maybe I'll play the FF1-6 pixel remasters first to earn the plats in order.

[@PlatinumBro]

I hope you’re feeling better my man! Props to you for seeing ff14 through, is that the online onev

[@Rhudig]

I couldn’t even finish LEGO City Undercover 😭😭😂

[@Thor-js2rb]

I have over 50 platinums. Out of them 50 i have the dlc trophies for about 3 of them 50. Some games i have dlc purchased but havent touched it, because once i have platinum, im usually too fatigued to play dlc. Im like you. Im 35 now though and have bad adhd. Im really struggling to do the grinds that once seemed theraputic. Cba watching guides for collectables etc etc anymore. Much prefer just putting game on and playing it in my own time! If platinum becomes viable, i will get it, but i wont go hunting like i used to. Dont get the dopamine that i used to when getting plat. Feels like its all for nothing now. Also nice to see a fellow north eastener doing well on KZbin gaming. I'm from Teesside! Just down the road, judging by your accent!

[@PlatinumBro]

Hahaha yeah Newcastle for me hahaha

[@LARSTAKA-666]

I have 2 platinum that are taking me way longer than I thought. They are Final fantasy 16 and Dying light 2. I love dying light 2 but it is so time consuming that I leave the game and come back every month. Is the only way to keep the completionist hobby fun

[@PlatinumBro]

both super longys - just be like me, don't worry about it hahaha

[@zathic8484]

In Cosmo Canyon there is a dialogue with Barret you can just loop and it builds your meter to get the Bromance trophy. No need to restart the game.

I platinumed Shadow of Mordor twice with all dlc then did Shadow of War with all dlc back to back one of my favourite games of all time.

[@PlatinumBro]

it's such a banger!

[@proggz39]

I don’t blame anyone for not 100%ing games, it’s a massive time and effort commitment. I made the mistake of getting 30 plats on one account including tons of hard and long games like the souls borne games just to start over on another account because I had too many low percent games and unobtainable trophies

[@owendoran1023]

[@crouchingotter]

Now listen to me. Go get that effigy in Tunic. Like you say, it could be 20mins, it could be a couple of hours but it sounds like the quickest way for you to get that first platinum in a few months. The one day, you can look back, see Tunic there with a plat and 100% complete and remember that time I told you to pull yer finger out! :D

[@TrippleBPlays]

Great video, man! My completion % is at 80.15 so I am okay with that. The games I have failed to Plat this year so far are: All I Want for Christmas are Subgames - A Christmas puzzle game - Currently at 8/41 trophies. I may return to this in December. Ping Redux - It was a free Ping Pong game, but I sucked at the levels - Currently at 9/30 trophies Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - This one hurts, but the Brutal Challenges defeated me, but hopefully I can finish one day - Currently at 56/61 trophies Finis - A puzzle game I lost interest in - Currently at 9/25 trophies Kingdom hearts 3 - I earned the Plat, but I hope to get the 100% in the Re:Mind DLC one day - Currently at 49/52 trophies

[@PlatinumBro]

thanks man! 80% is a very solid completion percentage and it shows you are definitely a completionist we all fail games man - we tend to remember them more hahaha

[@TrippleBPlays]

@@PlatinumBro Thank you for the words of encouragement, man. I hope you have a good day and happy hunting!

[@packers4life21]

Yea, it's funny. I think back to when I used to grind online games for trophies and it just makes me laugh. I mainly stick to single-player games now because I can play at my own leisure. I'm 38 now and can't imagine doing any long grindy boost sessions with randoms like I used to.

Going over the same 3 missions in suicide squad kill the justice league for 50+ hours was a very unpleasant experience but at least I got the platinum

[@PlatinumBro]

100% agree, proper gross

[@pt4387]

The tunic platinum is not as bad as you think. When you start NG+ they all respawn. I was also 1 short as I smashed three of them apparently as there are 12 in total in the game, and I was holding 9. I found the first one in the game and my trophy popped.

[@PlatinumBro]

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!! hahahaha

[@CallumTheCarnivore]

I went from 10 decent plats a year usually for example a souls game every christmas or a assassins creed here and there, to platting max 4 a year now, games are wayyy too grindy for just a trophy imo. I tend to just jump on an fps game with mates nowadays, I do want to plat remnant 2 as the first one was my game of the year at the time and the plat was great.

[@PlatinumBro]

we are the in the same boat by the sounds of it ha

[@UmbreonMoonlight]

Same I use to be the same but game devs know the longer and grinder the trophies are the longer people play and the more they can go look our game is good to shareholders

[@Mat_D87]

I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to missing one trophy on Tunic. I missed the 'Too Cute to Smash' trophy for holding the 10 money banks all at the same time, and I cannot be asked to replay the game to get it.

[@PlatinumBro]

glad i'm not the only one tbh, it is a great fun cute game though

[@Mat_D87]

Yeah it is cute and fun. But how tough was it to decipher the codes for the secret treasures and hidden passages?! Not going to lie, I had to use a guide for almost all of them 😅

[@justboschma5047]

Same I have the first 8 trophies quite quickly in the first 5 months. 2 years later more less just added 3 more and that is all. Tbh gaming in general is less interesting for me except when it is an good I really want.

Rock ANNNNNND STOOOOOONEEEEEE

[@godsmacking99]

I've been trying to up my completion percentage for like the past 5 years. I went from like 66% completion to just over 80% now but it took me over 5 years to get there and to do that, I haven't played a single new game that I couldn't 100% and I've been mostly playing older games on my profile that I never completed before and getting those cleaned up. It's been working fine for me since I don't care for most newer games anyway and the ones I do care about all have easy plats thankfully. Star Wars Outlaws was one I recently got. Yet another boring, repetitive Ubisoft entry but it was okay and has a relatively easy plat. But now you're locked into the game and I now have to play all future DLC to keep it at 100% and that's really the drawback for me trying to maintain completion percentage. It's the DLC and DLC is almost never as good as the main game which is why I never bothered with DLC before but now I have to. All because of these bittersweet trophies. It is like an addiction. Now I've finally reached my goal of 80% completion rate that took me 5+ years and now it's like I may as well keep going and go for 90%. May as well, right? I think trophies are the only reason I still bother with video games especially this gen with the underwhelming quality and quantity of good games.

[@PlatinumBro]

i think 80% should eb the threshold you maintain but don't worry about getting any higher tbh, it shows you complete most games but also respect your time as well haha

[@johnyoung5413]

I just can't bring myself to keep running the same 30 minute levels over and over for all the DLC, and I do not want to buy the 5 or so extra DLC

[@poloepic9908]

Repetition can be a killer to getting 100% in any game. I applaud your efforts. Maybe take a long break and come back when you're ready or if you're ready. :)

[@toti7568]

This is why I’m glad that PlayStation has platinums, I also use steam and Xbox but I never 100% anything cause I know if dlc comes back I would need to come back to it to keep the 100%, atleast on ps you already have the platinum for vampire survivors which for me is the biggest reward.

[@PlatinumBro]

yeah that sounds a bit too much

[@PlatinumBro]

100% agree

[@josephford2664]

Nice to see you in the next phase of trophy life. You've still achieved massive successes this year with some of those platinums but i have given up on games that just drew themselves out too long this year too. Plus im not as skillful 😂 cant believe you got Anthem done, that game hurts my eyes to play and is the worst map I've ever tried to navigate.

[@PlatinumBro]

Thanks man! Good way to look at it! Yeah anthem was brutally awful hahaha

[@hlcooper]

i feel like i was one of the very few who were dissapointed that the FF VII game remake wasn't an exact remake of the original but with better graphics and audio and using the same combat style as the original - i loved the original final fantasy combat style of turn based fighting which stopped after final fantasy X and X2 - as i loved that extra bit of time to figure out the best move for the fight.

Assassin's creed Valhalla played about half of it, got bored with rince and repeat.... Then about 6 months later got back to it but was skipping dialogue didn't care about the story anymore and uninstalled as soon as the platinum popped.... The long assed games just to get 40 odd trophies is time consuming. So I'm giving up long games for a wee while and have been jumping back on PS3 and playing lots of games I missed back then and having fun playing games again...😊

yeah, i never liked open world games too much from the start bro. Just the fromsoft games, RDR2, super hero games, and the new GOW games are about the only open worlds I really enjoy myself.

I get what you mean, i started hunting in 2016 and tried to platnum every game, was 19 at the time and i dont regret anything and i do platnum alot of games yearly but im now at the point were i can leave the game if i think its not worth my time. I made a challenge to plat every playstation classic game in the catalog but failed lmao so im only doing the ones i truly have fun with because at the end of the day its about the fun, when it feels like a job then you're not really doing the hobby right

[@PlatinumBro]

hey, you know i honestly think making goals around platinum trophies is one of the worst things you can do, it does just sour it and make it feel like work ha sounds like you have a good balance now though :D

[@Nova_Ash]

Gaming has been very much more enjoyable for me as I've now stopped going for 100% on everything.

[@elmajico128]

Never understand why someone need to force himself to plat/100ing a game. There are some people (like me) who loves the challenge and the idea of collecting trophy, cause it s something that is linked to your account and u can collect generation after generation. But if u don t enjoy the process, why on earth should u do that?

[@Nova_Ash]

@@elmajico128 For me it's a OCD thing I used to hate seeing a unfinished list especially if its above 50%

[@elmajico128]

@@Nova_Ash luckly for me, never get trapped in the 100% ocd. If I dislike a game, i don t even finish the story. Also luckly, it s really rare that I begin a game that I dislike, cause I get lots on info before starting a game , cause I hate loose time doing stuff that I m not interest in. Like i prefer to collect 100 feathers in Ac three times, than spend 2 hours playing something like Fifa or some other games that I don t like.

Same here Nova

A lot if the games you abandoned are doable and fun. I havent hit plat hunting fatigue yet which i probably soon will, but Im sorry that you have hit that stage man :/ if you didnt have a yt channel to up keep, id say take a break and come back when your ready to hunt obviously not doable. Glad i havent made a plat yt channel

[@PlatinumBro]

Yeah very doable just not feeling it. I kinda have taken a break which is why the videos around getting plats in actual games have slowed down. I still really love making videos and talking about trophy hunting so thats the positive ha

I started playing Yakuza the beginning of the year and I originally started with the intention of platinuming every game in the series but now I don't know if I can. There's way to many minigames, haven't even tried Mahjong (it scares me) and some of the other minigames are too hard for me. Kareoke for example, most people would consider it easy. But my fingers get tired easily and some of the faster songs I just can't keep up

[@elmajico128]

I got the plat for most games of the series, my advice is: MIX IT WITH OTHER PLATS. It takes around 100h~ for each title and there are a lot of minigames that can be tedious if done for too many hours/days straight. Take a simple plat (something not lingerie than 25h~) and keep alternate to these games. Also, take like 2 months break between two different yakuza games, it helps to keep the experience fresh and less boring. For Majhong, u need to learn the game. I stuidied it for two days on the first yakuza (wikipedia and other sites helps a lot) and had never have any trouble since then. But mainly, if u feeling pressured, just take a break. I did it for so many long games (Diaboo 2 resurrected, GTA, Big open world or jRPG 300h~ long). Without breaks, it would be a torture. Instradamento, i enjoy every moment of every games i played.

@@elmajico128 appreciate the advice

That is a monsterous task my man haha

[@woofdagawd]

My Hero Ultra rumble is one of the jankiest/most fun/unique games, but the trophy list is awful. You can get all but Officer in like 200 hours but officer alone takes about 1200 hours which is just insane and feels like a developer mistake since its just a bronze with a side character as the trophy icon lmao. I'm gonna get it because I love this jank mess (a bit over 400 hours in and about 1/3rd towards the final trophy) but if it isn't your main game than 1200+ hours is a crazy grind to ask.

[@PlatinumBro]

i did really enjoy it but yeah so god dam grindy

[@BillionFrames88]

One game I quit was guardians of the galaxy I only have I think 2 maybe 3 trophies left and one of them is collectible related because it bugged out and reset one of the sets of collectibles and I just didn’t give enough of a crap to do that again

@@PlatinumBro for me it came kinda naturally. I only need to win a war and then I'll have the plat and 100% But I understand. Though you can get alot of those by participating in the events, they have extra samples and if you or someone in your team has the drone, it can help you a lot.
