2 remains the hardest. 4 was just time consuming.

[@dntremad8290]

Oh I know, I have the platinum in all MGS games ( well almost all I haven't played Revengeance ) and I agree about MGS2 although getting the big boss emblem in MGS4 is more than just time consuming it requires key knowledge on enemy A.I, placement, boss weaknesses and of course great use of your non lethal arsenal(which means skill)

One thing that goes under appreciated in Adam’s videos is his ability for contextual storytelling. Even as somebody who has never played MGS4, I can immediately get a grasp on everything happening in each scene thanks to Adam’s ability to fill in the blanks with his script writing. Amazing work!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you for noticing. I try to give enough context so someone like yourself who hasn't played the game knows what is going on, but don't want spend too much time just summarising the game either. Nice to hear that I've got the balance right in this one.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the video but MGS4 was released prior to trophies / achievements being a thing on the PS3 and were added 4 years after MGS4 released. Could explain why the platinum requirements on this one is so high, given that the only people still playing it were the hardcore fans.

I didn't mention it. Thought folks knew about it getting trophy support after release. MGS2 trophy list is also tough. MGS3 is handy. Kind of all over the place.

@@AdamMcDermott did you ever get all the trophies for MGSV? I’ve just returned to it after a nearly 7 year hiatus, to collect 3 final trophies to unlock the platinum. Apparently I’d already sunk 130 hours into the game before I picked it up again!

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@BrentosTheFreshmaker Nope, never got all the trophies for MGSV. You are pretty close to the platinum.

[@SHAH-UZER]

The clip at end and the ending with The W...... song plays was created masterfully, I wanna thank you for your best episode and Kojima and his team that made best games and stories I could ever think of.

[@SHAH-UZER]

And also what is the name of the song at the end?

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you very much. I was giddy putting together the end of the episode. Yeah, fair play to Kojima and his team.

The mgs Saga is my favourite one, and this video did bring back some memories i forgot i had. I didnt got the platinum trophy, and probably will never try it, but seeing you doing it, made me feel that i can achieve this trophy too. Great video, great game, and this last minutes of the video and the Goodbye to snake and ps3 sure made me fell nostalgic. Oh great times when I had the time to play it. Congrats man, you achieved what every MGS fan wants!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Glad I could bring back some memories for you. If I got the platinum, I'm sure you can too. The ending of this video was important to me. So many good times with the PS3 and Snake over the year, wanted to do them justice.

Hey Adam, the algorithm recently threw me at your channel and I have to say keep up the good work, your videos are very entertaining and well produced. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed most of your Platinum Journeys videos and look forward to catching up with the rest. I'll keep a 4-pack of Guinness in the fridge for the future episodes. Cheers 🍻

[@AdamMcDermott]

Welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying the series. I'm writing the voice-over for Modern Warfare 2 this week and will have the episodes out next month. Yes, a 4-pack of Guinness will go nicely with future episodes :)

[@Gerdienator]

I enjoyed this episode immensely Adam. Glad you pulled through!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the episode so much.

[@aadipie]

Yo Adam congrats on this video hitting 100k views brother, its my favorite episode of yours and i keep coming back to it so its awesome to see it at 100k which is massive

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you very much. Really happy with it hitting 100K, quite proud of the episode. Delighted it is your favourite and you keep coming back to it.

[@HimiJendrix21]

I had a friend in college who had the platinum for this and i was blown away, really cool to see what it really takes on video

[@MrBloodbath50cal]

I platinumed this, and I feel everything in this 50 minute masterpiece!

[@KojiMadarA333]

I really enjoyed watching every second of this episode. Amazing the highlights and editing As a Metal Gear fan I've always thought about this Platinum been "impossible" but now after watching you I'm really inspired to try it for real. Thankyou very much for your efforts with this brilliant work and of course this episode. Congratulations for the Platinum🏆 Keep on keeping on 😁👍🏼

[@KojiMadarA333]

If I may A request Try Death Stranding

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you for such kind words. Yeah, I'm an average gamer skill-wise, if I can platinum a game, anyone can. Will take a bit of perseverance but you'll be okay. Death Stranding is on the list of potential episodes. Fascinating game.

[@AjeetSingh-xq4yb]

Yooo this just popped up in my feed and I realised I haven't watched your videos in years. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and Im going to watch back on what I've missed. Keep it up !!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers. Welcome back to the channel!

[@Zee140.15]

Congratulations mate, I achieved the platinum back in 2021. I feel your pain. Also, SUNLIIIIIIGHT!

[@Rycerz49]

It seems like the platinum run changes as soon as you get the flashback trophy. You’re no longer a slave to the cutscenes. I still need that one!!

[@Jake_Tucker]

Guess you could say that this game really tested your *metal*. Fantastic episode, Adam! Definitely one of your most impressive achievements! Hopefully MW2 on veteran will feel like a break after all this madness.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Haha, tested my metal indeed. Veteran did indeed feel like a break after a while. Currently writing the voice over.

[@Jake_Tucker]

@@AdamMcDermott Hope that process goes pretty smoothly! Looking forward to that episode for sure.

[@shanethesaiyan511]

This is one of my favourite videos. I've always wanted to replay MGS4 but I'm living it vicariously through your vids. Exceptional editing too!

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm honoured this is one of your favourites videos. That is pretty cool for me.

[@Shala_Boi]

It took me a year to find this video and your channel. What a masterpiece. Thank you for doing the impossible, Boss. o7

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm honoured. Welcome to the channel!

[@alexthebigmac4497]

Bro I love this channel. You manage to entertain me and motivate me to platinum very hard games both at the same time.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I'm honoured to hear that. Cheers!

[@owenlawrencewilliams]

Have saved this for later, absolutely buzzing for this episode! Keep it up Adam!
