It was a pleasure to have Nick AR join me and Joel for this one. Don’t forget to check out his channel.

[@nick_ar]

Thanks again for having me on!

[@PlatinumBro]

It was a blast

[@matrixlord212]

You have an awesome Channel. Good Luck!

[@krak7777]

Ur the man

[@JeffyJ30]

Nick what’s your trophy score now that you have 74 platinum’s?

[@GuyFarruski]

A pleasure as always to be a co-host with the legend himself and of course a pleasure to meet and speak to the awesome Nick AR. I would have praised him more but he chose Lewis over me...

[@PlatinumBro]

I’ll always chose you over platinum bro

[@GuyFarruski]

@@PlatinumBro that's why you're my favourite!!

[@KarnageGaming]

To anyone who doesnt know nick. I subbed to him like a month ago. His content is great. And everyone should check out his videos.

[@PlatinumBro]

I totally agree, his content is insane

[@PS3GamingScotland]

It's always good to discover new channels through this podcast. Thanks for another brilliant podcast guys. Keep up the great work! :)

[@gunshottaylor18]

I’ve been loving Nicks videos so I’m glad you got him on the podcast

[@PlatinumBro]

He is incredible

[@obenohnebohne]

These talks amonst trophy hunters are just so entertaining. I love the community. I just stumbled upon Nick’s channel, and this interview helped to get to know him a little bit better. I will keep an eye on his content.

[@PlatinumBro]

Glad you enjoy them :)

[@Karkarnt]

Awesome, another podcast! Discovered Nick a few weeks ago and really enjoy his channel 🙂

[@PlatinumBro]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mikemccormick4281]

Been subbed for a while and absolutely Love the channel and podcast! Much love from Missouri, USA.

[@PlatinumBro]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RobbieVI-]

Been waiting on this! Would love these weekly but... life! keep it up mate, 10k in no time!

[@PlatinumBro]

glad you enjoyed! In a perfect world, yes sadly life and organising them can be a struggle

[@lukehaigh1363]

Great surprise to see two of my fave accounts collaborate, discovered Nick’s channels about three weeks ago and his content is brilliant 👏🏽 Also found out today that Guy platinumed Devil May Cry 5, who knew? 😂

[@PlatinumBro]

Nick has an awesome channel. I know Joel never talks about it…

[@justinmitchell92]

Nick AR makes the best platnium guide videos. Keep up the great content I try to catch every video.

[@PlatinumBro]

he really does and thanks man!

[@edgelessspace7180]

Actually in God of War 2018 the odin's crows collectables are numbered if you look at the map and it tells you if you completed collecting them all in that region like a 5/10 crows found and they do have a unique sound that they make when you're near one and they do glow green and sometimes fly around, so i managed to get the platinum without a guide and just looking for them using mechanics from the game and it's fantastic

[@Godstone93]

I'm glad nick ar is getting some love really like his videos

[@aowho]

Oh HELL YEAH! Nick AR has an amazing layout for his videos and I 100% support this podcast episode 🙏🏼

[@PlatinumBro]

his videos are top tier

[@Whoshotme25Gaming]

You knock Ubisoft but you haven’t given Fenyx immortal rising a chance, I think it’s highly educational and I 100% it as my first ever ps5 game and I enjoyed it that much that I would play the PS4 version at some point too

[@DeIetedUser8583]

I cracked up when is saw Joels face when Nick picked Ubisoft as his favorite 😂

[@PlatinumBro]

Hahahaha I know man

[@omegahimura3743]

I been watching nicks vids recently and he has excellent content another great Trophy focused channel and gaming overall

[@PlatinumBro]

Yeah i agree, some really awesome content

[@Jvega095]

My guy NICK! It’s so nice to see him in a podcast with platinumbro

[@PlatinumBro]

He is one hell of a guy, can’t say anything different

[@joemars5403]

This is great to see. I just discovered nick too. Great collab

[@PlatinumBro]

Glad you enjoyed it Joe

[@boultonnn9907]

nice this is a combo episode i can get behind !!!

[@PlatinumBro]

Glad you think so :)

[@shoryukensaucealtaccount7971]

Adding to platbro's comment on 9/10 difficulty: they have such a massive difference in experience in addition to varying in difficulty within being 9/10. I've been playing mostly 9's for the discord challenge (10's aren't worth it since it's the same point value) and I would say they're all in that category for very different reasons, even though 3 of them are all in the same genre (fighting games). Things really open up in those categories and it's nice to go for trophies beyond "find all collectables" or simply "Beat the game on hard mode (although this is basically the difficulty in the downwell platinum trophy) "

[@PlatinumBro]

Yeah man it’s mad

Much appreciated!

[@LeechyFC]

I would love to come on the podcast some day and speak about my experiences with gaming, KZbin and trophies and that quiz I have some outrageous answers 😂

[@PlatinumBro]

You into trophy hunting?

[@LeechyFC]

@@PlatinumBro Okay so my story with trophy hunting is I absolutely love it, I have a hook for it and I am super interest in the guys who can do it! (You, Guy, PlatChums etc..) However I suck at it! I will platinum a game and get the bug but I just am not good enough at gaming, I lack time while doing a KZbin channel & I simply play too many games to be a serious trophy hunter like you guys! I have a measly 19 plats! (I do have Spider-Man) 😂✌🏻however in 2022 I will start the impossible mission of the HUGE backlog and try to get as many plats as possible!

[@macleben3443]

Anyone who doesn’t watch nicks content should 100% give him a watch makes really good videos

[@PlatinumBro]

I 100% agree

[@CosmicBaller1]

Movies I quote almost daily, just about any Adam Sandler movie. They are very quotable.

[@PlatinumBro]

Hahaha they are great. “My momma said…”

[@Jammerdude07]

I just feel like randomly answering this question because of how mad this trophy makes me but the worst type of trophy is rng based trophies that you have no control over. Currently, I am 1 trophy away from the Fall Guys platinum but the one trophy relies on a specific cosmetic being in the daily item shop. It has taken people 6 months for this item to appear in this shop. To make things worse, they are retiring the current trophy list in May and if I don’t get it before then, I will get my first impossible unfinished list.

[@CONNORDEVOURED]

I absolutely love this podcast

Ah what a great guest, I’ve been tryin to convince this madman to plat crypt of the necrodancer since I found him, if he’s going to be on here that’ll allow me to hound him on two fronts as opposed to one, excellent 👌 😂💪 Judo chop 🦹🏻‍♂️

[@user-uc3ew3mw1h]

Hyy guys....I want you guys to react on the trailer of KGF Chapter 2

[@shadowmaksim]

40:10 - That's kind of the problem with difficulty ratings on trophy guides. They are just so subjective and there's no concrete baseline to actually use to make it more accurate. Different games with the same rating often don't feel like it. Heck, you can take two games and the one with the lower rated difficulty can feel harder than the one with the higher listed difficulty. And that's not even getting into how the same game will have multiple guides each listing wildly different difficulty ratings as well. To perfectly exemplify the last one, there is one platinum I have for this game called "Record of Agarest War". The guide on PSNProfiles lists it at a 3/10. The guide on PlaystationTrophies lists it at an 8/10. Like, wha? The difference between a 3 and an 8 is not insignificant, even with some generous leeway. Looking up random games as a comparison, that's a difference of "God of War 2" (3/10) to "Devil May Cry 5" (8/10).
