This was awesome 👏 Joel’s idea of worst host is hilarious 😂 all these awards make me want to play certain games of 2022 that I haven’t played yet…

[@mynameisdanielnotdan5776]

Just wanted to say thanks boys you inspired me to make my trophy list better rather than amount of plats I have iv got three 7 year plats this year and pushed my completion rating over 70%😊

[@PlatinumBro]

Hey glad we helped in some small way ❤️🎅🏻

You are more than welcome, Lewis. Always happy to talk about video making.

Hyped to see you legends once again for the platinum podcast and I am currently working on my next platinum for knack

[@PlatinumBro]

thanks! good luck with it :)

So much fun. You three are my favorite podcast hosts at the moment. Love the content. Suprisingly, I played a lot of games that released in 2022. Usually I wait a few years. Game of the Year: Sifu is a fantastic game and I earned the Platinum before the patch. That is my proudest achievment. I finally overcame my fear of Journey of the Prairie King (the arcade game in Stardew Valley). Metal Hellsinger hat the best soundtrack of the year. Stray was cute and chill but with enough distance between me and the game it is not game or Platinum of the Year. Platinum of the year (Released in 2022): Sifu. Platinum of the Year (not released in 2022. Destiny 1 - a multiplayer online looter shooter -> everything I ususally hate but the group I did it with made the experience so memorable). The funny thing is: I consider Elden Ring comfort food. The game offers the player enough methods to overcome the given challenges. For me, Sifu was the hardest game of the year. That trophy where you have to beat the game without dying more than 3 times kicked my butt a lot. Most disappointing game: Horzion: Forbidden West. I have not finished God Of War Ragnarök yet. So, that might change my opinion.

[@PlatinumBro]

oh man thanks so much for the kind words! Well Done on the sifu plat! I hope to get it sometime next year :) Platinum in Destiny... just wow. Merry Xmas Buddy :)

Enjoyed listening to the podcast over this last year you inspired me to improve my completion percentage. In a year haven't played any new games. Taken from my completion percentage from 30% up to 40 %. Would like to get up to 50 % but figured out it would probably take me a year to do. About to get a PS5 and so many new games that I've missed out on. I think I'll have to just take being happy on 40% for now. Have a great xmas

[@PlatinumBro]

that's awesome to hear buddy! thanks for watching and enjoy your PS5 :)

[@dingdong6593]

Merry Christmas to you guys and the trophy community. Steve, I feel you on vanquish. I dropped it and after 10 Years I platinum it. My top hardest platinum was crash 4.

Dead at work so get to just chill and listen to the bois talk about trophies, we call that a W 🏆

[@BushidoCypher]

I agree with Steve, Callisto Protocol I had a great time with. I think people really struggle to not compare it to Dead Space. It was super easy though like he said lol, Maximum difficulty isn't much diff from normal.

[@BushidoCypher]

Factions is SOOOO good, definitely keen for it hopefully I come across you in it 😃

[@PlatinumBro]

Hell yeah ❤️

[@gooma7942]

I'd get a kick out of seeing what Steve thinks of a pickles and peanut butter sandwich with mustard. The pickles and peanut butter part is a thing people actually do in like New Jersey I believe. Never tried it myself but it sounds revolting.

[@goopteruk279]

Great Podcast Guys. Always a good watch. Agreed with most of the results. Would have had Dying Light 2 as the biggest disappointment as that was a broken mess at launch and still seems to have various issues after multiple patches. Vault Boy Steve is spot on about the catch me trophy in Stray. There are some basic principles that work in certain parts such as zig zagging in tight spaces but it’s very R&G with no two runs ever being the same. Took me over 60 mins to eventually get it. Plat Bro - you can still play Sifu on the latest patch. They didn’t lower the difficulty. They simply added two additional difficulty settings (easier and very hard) so you have the choice of playing the game on whichever difficulty you desire. Can we add a category next year for best trophy hunting KZbin video? My favourite two this year have to be the Guy Farruski Avengers trophy list comparison and the Plat Bro COD Modern Warfare plat journey. Thanks again to all of you for the top videos and contributions. Hope Santa delivers on the gaming front.

[@PlatinumBro]

thanks Goopy x

[@IrrationalCharm]

Jedi Fallen Order.. I loved the game, but ended up hating it after going for the platinum. I remember kashyyyk, I had to back track 4 TIMES because I missed a collectable or something. (I think it glitched on me) It was so painful...

[@LethalBrizzleGaming]

You can get your disc out of your PS5, it has a manual screw that’s super accessible and easy to do 😊

[@PlatinumBro]

Fun fact guys. William the conqueror was a Viking. His father Rollo was originally of Scandinavia.

I can't believe you guys are defending the dumpster fire that is the rings of power lol. In all seriousness love the podcast guys.

[@PlatinumBro]

Hahahaha differences of opinion I guess

[@trophyhunt4545]

Honestly Gotham Knights wasnt THAT bad. I got the plat a month or so ago and it was quite enjoyable. Yes, it can be tedious at times but the characters are well written and the story is actually interesting. Give it a shot if you can get it on a discount, totally worth it and plat took me around 21 hours or so

[@PlatinumBro]

I will give it a go with some friends next year most likely :)

[@unicorntomboy9736]

I certainly know what the worst trophy of this year is: The Can't Cat-Ch Me trophy in Stray. It is one of the worst trophies I have experienced this year. It took me 20 goes before finally getting that trophy and ultimately getting the platinum trophy. I was on the verge of throwing my DaulSense controller at the wall because of it. It is a blot on an otherwise purfect trophy list For anyone who is yet to play Stray be warned: that trophy is THE hardest one in the entire game and it will not be a fun time. I finally achieved the platinum trophy today for Stray, which I am very proud of.

[@PlatinumBro]

Oh man that sucks, I think Steve complains about that in the podcast

[@edgelessspace7180]

Damn just realized after finishing this episode is that more people cared about Gotham knights than the saints row reboot Lol

they really did

[@taylor0000027]

Worst Platinum none of you have heard of yet would be from a game called Gun Grave Gore. The game just released pretty much unfinished, and you have to beat the whole 8 hour game on every difficulty because they didn't implement stacking.... Worst game I've ever 100 percented.

[@MikeRitiques]

Stray is probably the most overrated game of the year. Wow its got a cat in it 10/10 God of War Ragnarok is great but I still hate the camera. One of the most annoying trends in gaming at the mo is games where your characters is a third of the screen. I miss the clarity from the old GOW games.
