Horizon Zero Dawn - Platinum Journey

[@tallset85]

5 MONTHS of waiting for THIS?!?!.... worth every second.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you for your patience.

[@juliushegge4845]

Adam McDermott yes you are finally back

[@Enderlink]

Adam McDermott slow

[@alexandere9160]

Yessssss! Your back!!!!

[@triphazard2906]

Adam McDermott I was just wondering a couple of days ago when the next episode would be out. I haven't watched yet, but I'm sure it's worth the wait. Thanks!

[@Greenhorn.]

Adam McDermott what's next?

[@lalo_raider_5596]

Glad to see another platinum journey nice to see you back Adam McDermott

[@extenebrislux]

I love this game so much!! And I got my first ever platinum on my first playthrough, which was very satisfying. I took my time exploring and my final tally was like 180hrs of play ahah. You should definitely play the Frozen Wilds, I'm sure you'd love it. The design is even better, the snow is so realistic, and the story is gorgeous.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Pretty good first platinum. 180 hours is huge. I am looking forward to giving Frozen Wilds a shot. Perhaps in the lead up to the sequel.

[@porterpaisley7722]

Its been 4 years since this masterpiece of a game was realsed, cant wait for the new one im definitely buying the collector's edition that statue looks soooo cool

[@dicloniusgames]

Platinumed this when I got it and working on the platinum for Forbidden West.

[@massivegat5087]

It's funny because I was just thinking about you, glad to have this. These Platinum Journey videos are some of my favorites on KZbin, keep it up!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Haha, funny indeed.

[@gallantmon4]

Another great episode Adam, Horizon Zero Dawn is such a brilliant experience and I applaud you for beating the hunting trials because they infuriate me to no end to where I'm like "screw em" you know? But all in all glad you got the platinum for this brilliant game Adam.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, those hunting trials were by far the most difficult part of the game. I have no intention of doing them again.

[@gallantmon4]

Adam McDermott I only needed to do three to get into the Hunting Lodge, after that no. They are however the only things stopping me from Platinum, in both the main game and Frozen Wilds DLC, those and Ultra Hard New Game+. Looking forward to whatever you have lined up next Adam but I doubt you'll be hitting another open world game for a while right?

[@AdamMcDermott]

You are correct. I will be steering clear of open world games in the future :)

[@Midweekers]

These videos are fantastic, always look forward to them when i get the notification. I also struggled with the shell walker trail, was extremely frustrating at times! Keep it up man!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yeah, that trial was very challenging. Cheers!

[@phantom219]

Glad to see you're back man! And not only that but with an amazing game as well!

Funny thing is, I actually just yesterday checked out your account to look if you are alive and I saw Horizon completed. I'm not even surprised by this video. Like thrown before watching.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Haha, that is an interesting way to check if someone is alive. Certainly effective.

I just bought Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition since it’s only $10 and it’s not in the PS Plus collection, this video made me ecstatic for it to come through parcel today. Subscribed, I loved watching this.

This was my fifth platinum and definitely my favorite. I went into this game completely blind and enjoyed every second of it. (Except for those awful stealth trials)

[@chrisgapp1521]

Hi Adam, not sure if you will see this but wanted to say thank you for the great content. Platinum Journey is my favourite series and you are a seriously underrated content creator. Keep up the good work because we appreciate the quality and hard work that goes into them! It’s got me into platinum hunting (brilliant games only of course) and managed to get up to 9 after starting in May. About to start the Last of us!

[@AdamMcDermott]

I am honoured that Platinum Journey is your favourite series. Thank you for the kind words. Congratulations on your platinum trophies and best of luck with The Last of Us.

[@thinreaper]

Another great episode Adam, always happy to see you've uploaded! I recently got a platinum on this game too, that challenge where you had to loot crates off the backs of walkers gave me absolute hell! You looked like you breezed it though haha Congrats man

[@AdamMcDermott]

Hey! Congratulations on the platinum yourself. Yeah, that part was simple, haha.

[@updownleftrightish]

Not watched this yet but literally finished the game yesterday best I've played in years; really sensible trophy set.

[@exogarde5095]

Adam...you magnificent beast. Where are you? I check you channel at least once a week for another video. Just binge watched your Platinum series again. Duuuuuudddeeee

[@AdamMcDermott]

I am doing well, don't worry :) Still working on God of War Platinum Journey, it has ended up being sort of a double episode. The first part is done and I wanted the second part to be close to finished before publishing the first part. Didn't want people waiting a month plus for the conclusion. So expect a whole lot of Platinum Journey at the end of this month. Planning first part next Saturday (27th) and part two the following Saturday. Total runtime is more than 50 minutes at the moment. I'm really honoured that you binge-watched the entire series. I thought that was something reserved for Netflix shows.

[@exogarde5095]

@@AdamMcDermott Nope. Love your videos mate. Now very excited for God of War! I didn't get the Platinum in the end!! Bloody green birds to collect drove me mad!!

[@jopperdeplop221]

Great video man worth the wait. Suggestion maybe you could try a platinum on AC orgins next although you might find it to be to easy.

Depends on the difficulity you choose of course, i don't think you had to play it on the highest difficulity but I did and the elephant fights were absolutely brutal...

Word of warning, I rarely do that with newer videos - The Last of Us Part II has a spoiler warning as the episode was made only months after release. I figure if folks are watching a trophy video they have finished the game.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

Did Achievement hunting myself on the PC version, but there you have to beat new game plus on ultra hard. I have completed everything except the ending, and don't really want to play it right now, but assume I am going to get back to it at some point.

[@aarontoal]

Finally got to watch this one last night after finishing the game (I loved the look of the game but only got it last week) I've been so tempted to watch this but didn't want to spoil anything. We had a similar play through I feel I did it in about 40+ hours but to be honest I got distracted for about 25+ hours doing side missions and errands and I did the hunting grounds in 1 or 2 goes i got lucky with a lot of them like the shell walkers one I found a spot that had 3 loot crates on the ground and a single shell walker near them so I got that easy ha just collecting all the metal flowers now then get 4 more skills and I'm done can't wait as I want to get cracking on FF8 later.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Congratulations on finishing the game. Yeah, good idea to hold off watching the episode. Getting distracted with side missions and the world of Horizon is so easy. Sign of a great game. Luck can be a major factor in some of the hunting trials for sure. Best of luck with FF8!

[@shadowswordfish3745]

Glad to see your back with the journey. You wouldn’t mind me suggesting hotline Miami or Skyrim for your next platinum journey

Thanks for another great journey Adam! The trials you struggled with were the same ones that tested me the most! Have you played the dlc yet?

I have not played the DLC but I heard great things about it.

[@soaked23]

Finally you're back Adam (and with a new haircut), been missing your content! Great to have another episode of my favourite KZbin series. Quick question, do you have any plans for a really tough Plat Journey in the future. The Dead Space 2 episode remains my favourite just because it was such a challenge for you to overcome.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Yes, I do plan on doing a really difficult game again in the future. The timing will have to be right otherwise I'd be gone for a year working on it. When I made Dead Space 2 I had loads of free time.

[@soaked23]

I thought that would be the case, happy with any episodes regardless of the difficulty rating but just would love to see you tackle another tough plat because those are always the best episodes! Loved the video as always

[@senseweaver01]

A cauldron is a large metal container for cooking meals out of blended ingredients - and the Cauldrons in HZD are large metal areas for making robots with blended supplies so I mean it... it almost works... at a stretch
