Total play time was 60 hours. Elden Ring next year. The next episode will be Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I fancy something light and cheerful for a change of pace.
I remember my first playthrough of Sekiro lasting around 40-50 hours. Most of that was me floundering at the new mechanics and the bosses. My brain just refused to unlearn my Dark Souls habits, even after playing the hell out of Bloodborne. I was royally pissed off and upset with myself multiple times. But when it *finally clicked;* oh my fucking god I could actually play the game and get somewhere with it. And when I finally beat Sword Saint Isshin, I was on top of the fucking world. Sekiro has gone from maybe my second least favorite FromSoftware game to perhaps being my second favorite. Maybe even my number 1, depends on when you ask me. It was nice to see someone react to things I've known about for years, for the first time. It sort of reignited some of my forgotten passion for Sekiro. Many thanks, Adam, for the incredible episode.
I know there's other TH-camrs getting the platinum trophy nowadays, I think you inspired them to do these type of content. Because you're such a Legendary Platinum Trophy TH-camr. Btw I love China and Japan, because the sceneries in those places calms me down the most
That is nice of you to say. I think Nick AR inspired them though - titles, thumbnails, opening subtitle text, trophy tracker are all similar - and Nick was inspired by Mr. Beast and Mystic. China and Japan have beautiful landscapes. Hope to get to Japan someday.
The most Adam thing I can think of is stopping to take in the sceneries, haha. You truly are the master of making even the most stressful games a relaxing experience. Great episode dude!
This series is comfort entertainment. Well crafted, full of emotion, and and always makes me smile. It is also inspiring to learn from fellow content creators. Cheers for your Premium Entertainment, Adam.
I lived in Tuam for a year and the moved to Enfield Co. Meath where I stayed for almost seven years. Moved back when my son got born... I love Ireland.
I first stumbled across your channel towards the beginning of secondary school. In a couple of months, I’ll have finished university… and I still look forward to the next platinum journey.
My roommate and I watched this as soon as the Patreon alert came out, hands down out favourite episode you've done. Great work man, what an achievement, you looked like you were having the best time :)
It is a huge compliment that this is you and your roommate's favourite episode. You are not the only people to say that, other patrons have said the same. Personally, it is fantastic that after 8 years of making the show I'm still making someone's new favourite episode. Platinum Journey will be around for a long time to come :)
Yooo this is fire! This is probably the second-best episode to Metal Gear Solid 4, nothing can beat that. Great work Adam. Your videos are exemplary for other platinum TH-camrs.
Absolutely loved the video, probably my favourite you've put out so far. Felt a lot shorter than it was, so you know it was a great one. I'm very glad to see you enjoyed Sekiro, its one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Can't wait for the next one Adam, happy hunting :)
Fantastic video Adam. The editing, music and storytelling were all top notch. Really glad you enjoyed they game, it's honestly one of my favorite gameplay experiences. Thanks for such a phenomenal video.
I love how your channel is a very chill no rush just play and enjoy I like a lot of trophy channels but genuinely wait for your videos because it seems you pick games that you genuinely enjoy
Thank you. I am quite selective about which games I cover. If I'm gonna spend all that time getting the platinum and post-production, might as well like the game.
Bro this is by far one of the best videos you ever made. The editing was top notch, the music fit the game so well, and the video is entertaining from beginning to end. I started watching you around 2015-2016 and by each year your videos continue to improve. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. Delighted you enjoyed the video so much. I do try to improve year-to-year so am honoured you see how the videos have gotten better.
10:55 Just like you, I fought the shinobi hunter a bit too early, prior to even unlocking the Mikiri counter. On my first run, I died to him more than any other enemy in the entire game.
Man I love Sekiro and it's great to see other ppeople play and appreciate it as well. To this day it's still among my 3 most favorite platinums, because I had to really work for it after walking away from it twice, because I just couldn't get into the combat, I just didn't get it and it frustrated me to no end, because I've gotten the platinum (I count 100% on Steam as a platinum too even if it doesn't have one) every other From Software game multiple times, like every itteration of the games that were available to me, but I just couldn't get past Genichiro at Ashina castle, but in the end perseverace paid off.
Great video, Adam. Seing you with a white shirt and blue tie, always makes me smile. I struggled so much with the final boss (Sword Saint, Isshin Ashina). It wasn’t even funny anymore. I took a two year long break. When I decided to come back to the game, I did a fresh playthrough to get back to form and it was amazing to me, how easy my "second" playthrough was. Bosses, I had struggled with in 2019 (Genichiro, Guardian Ape, Owl), I beat in a few attempts. With more confidence, I returned to my 1st playthrough and finally beat Sword Saint Isshin. This boss still gives me nightmares, but the rest of the game is fantastic. It is my third favorite FromSoftware game. (1 BB, 2 Demon’s Souls).
Thank you. I like keeping the outfit the same, it is my Platinum Journey attire, haha. Don't blame you for stopping. The final boss is tough. Yeah, in new game plus you really see the improvement in your skill.
Loved this. I still feel like Sekiro is an underappreciated game so I always like to see someone have as much fun with it as I did. I might have to replay it soon after watching this 👍
Love your channel Adam, been watching you for years. Hope you never stop making these fantastic gems for us to enjoy! This platinum is definitely a tough one, big accomplishment 👏
Congrats Adam! I hope to one day soon follow in your footsteps and also get the Platinum. I too have only completed Bloodborne to date and I hold both Bloodborne and Sekiro in high regard. I like some things about one more than I do the other, so I think I'm just happy to give them both 1st place :)
I've been waiting for this episode and it's one of your best! Congrats Adam, you did an amazing job on telling us your journey across Ashina with a lot of enjoyment!
Great Platinum Journey! I'd only done this in January myself! No game has given me a sense of genuine self progression and improvement like Sekiro. It trains you to be better. It's palpable.
Incredible episode, the storytelling in these videos is unmatched. Made me interested in playing the game as someone who hasnt played soulsborne games before.
What I love about your Plat Journeys is that your production really feels like watching a BBC Nature doc by the legendary Attenborough:it’s soothing and also tells a unique story!
That is a huge compliment. David Attenborough is a legend. In my opinion, England's greatest person. To be compared to him is a massive honour. Thank you.
This is an amazing treat to enjoy after a long day at work, I highly anticipated this episode and love both this game and your incredible video format of platinum journeys!
Quite literally the only “Souls” platinum i do not have, however, i think that is so drastically different that i do feel as though my collection is incomplete but i would like to have it so i can say i have all of them without people (idiots) saying that i would have to have the Sekiro one
Nice video, this was a enjoyment to watch. This looked like a fun learning curve with a solid story. I haven't platinumed even my first FromSoft-game yet, Elden Ring still sits at 0% 😅 Eventually I think I would give it a go again with a fresh start by picking another class to start with. This video kind of gave me an idea that I might want to try to do Sekiro too someday. Keep up the good work.
I love to hear this! It is why I say "grab a drink" at the start. For some that is tea, coffee or water, but I get a kick out it being beer for some folks.
Congratulations! After I got the hang of it, I felt quite satisfied with the game and with the achievements. But it took me a good 20 hours... Btw the purple ninja gave me a headache, until I figured out, and destroyed him. And good to see a fellow gamer finishes and overcome the struggles this game offer!
I finally finished this game after starting it back in 2018 and I found it to be brutally difficult, frustrating and I began to doubt my own ability. So I took a break. I came back to it a month ago and found a renewed sense of perseverance and patience. Failure to beat certain bosses was all part of the learning experience. Yesterday I got the Platinum and now I can watch this video without feeling bad 🙂
Demon of hatred is actually a pretty good fight, though an acquired taste. It boils down to be all the way out and then all the way in. He's definitely a sekiro boss, he just feels different.
Ah this was a great episode. I didn’t rush as fast as usual to watch as I had less interest in the game but it actually convinced me to buy this in a year or two.
As someone who has currently platinumed all of fromsoftware souls games( ds2 hasn’t been attempted yet and DS1 is in progress ) Words can not how utterly excited I Am for this. Sekiro has the best combat in all of my gaming experience, it’s both the hardest to learn and the easiest to master
@@AdamMcDermott glad you enjoyed it! Can’t wait for Elden ring next year! Elden ring difficulty depends mainly on how you decide to approach it. It can be the hardest or the easiest if you decide to whether use a meta build or whether you decide to use Summons or not. So basically feel free to do whatever you want!
Good work as always Adam. I am currently working my way through Resident Evil remake and just have to get the two endings with Chris and the no save playthroughs done. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was one of the most fun experiences I have had with a ps5 game. I would also recommend Returnal. even though it's a rogue like game, I think you will enjoy the gameplay.
Congrats on the platinum! I’m still trying to get mine, I’m about 3/4 of the way there. The only trophy stopping me is gathering all the prayer beads. I’m missing one and have no clue what boss it is. Great video!
I vowed myself away from Souls games as I got older since I get so angry haha, but awesome episode. Love when I see a new video of yours come up on my feed! 🥳
This gotta be in my top 3 favourites videos of all time because goddam this is a good video, the wait was definitely worth it!! I thought you were going to struggle in the guardian ape fight a bit more but I guess im just not good at the game😅 I was thinking maybe you could do a series where you see the platinum trophies of subscriberd while you do this videos so the channel becomes a little bit more active while you do the next platinum journey episode. just an ideia tho
Wow, that is glowing praise. Thank you. I don't care for looking at other peoples' trophy lists I'm afraid. Don't even look at my own. Thank you for the suggestion though. I know you are trying to help.
@Adam McDermott Wow, another great video. Definitely lives up to the channel name, that was quite a journey. I feel as I've I've experienced Sekiro just by watching you play through it. The music was excellent, and the pacing was great. Every minute felt really important to the whole video. My favourite part of your videos is always your love of the environments, not many people take the time to show their appreciation of the setting of the game. Didn't think anything could knock bloodborne off of the top spot. Your love for this game really shows. I'm even more excited for your Witcher 3 video now
@@ironmike_0227 It is always wonderful when the things I try to do are noticed - making every minute feel important, love of environments. Delighted you enjoyed the episode so much. Witcher 3 will have some environmental love too. Gonna treat the continent like a real place with each area being its own living thing.
Hello just letting you know a thing about mini bosses you can reset the area after killing just the enemies with the mini boss still alive if he notices you can just ran away and hide till you arent noticed then just sneak back and get your death blow guaranteed. Love the video great job and I'm currently trying to platinum sekiro as well... I just beat owl father!! That was a insane fight I died too many times but he died so I guess it evens out sorry for the long message. Again love your videos and have a great night.
Total play time was 60 hours. Elden Ring next year.
The next episode will be Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I fancy something light and cheerful for a change of pace.
I platniumed both Elden Ring and Rift Apart. Both were VERY enjoyable platniums. You are in for a good time.
Elden Ring definitely has the easiest platinum out of the souls series, but I’d also say the most enjoyable
Good Job Adam
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was such a fun experience. You have earned it after Sekiro. :)
Can’t wait
I remember my first playthrough of Sekiro lasting around 40-50 hours. Most of that was me floundering at the new mechanics and the bosses. My brain just refused to unlearn my Dark Souls habits, even after playing the hell out of Bloodborne. I was royally pissed off and upset with myself multiple times. But when it *finally clicked;* oh my fucking god I could actually play the game and get somewhere with it. And when I finally beat Sword Saint Isshin, I was on top of the fucking world.

It was nice to see someone react to things I've known about for years, for the first time. It sort of reignited some of my forgotten passion for Sekiro. Many thanks, Adam, for the incredible episode.
My absolute favourite game of all time played by my absolute favourite trophy hunter of all time, what a treat
I do have one suggestion for this game, play it in Japanese! Everything sounds SO much cooler it’s crazy.
Yeah big time. I think fromsoftware said that japanese is the correct way to play it. It defaults to japanese doesn't it?
@@christopherbennett1173 I played in Japanese. Would 100% recommend.
What a kissarse
I know there's other TH-camrs getting the platinum trophy nowadays, I think you inspired them to do these type of content. Because you're such a Legendary Platinum Trophy TH-camr. Btw I love China and Japan, because the sceneries in those places calms me down the most

China and Japan have beautiful landscapes. Hope to get to Japan someday.
@@AdamMcDermott I always dreamed of going to Japan, and I will pray for you that you'll go to Japan someday
The most Adam thing I can think of is stopping to take in the sceneries, haha. You truly are the master of making even the most stressful games a relaxing experience. Great episode dude!
Haha, it looked pretty!
This series is comfort entertainment. Well crafted, full of emotion, and and always makes me smile. It is also inspiring to learn from fellow content creators. Cheers for your Premium Entertainment, Adam.
Being considered comfort entertainment is a huge compliment. I'm honoured.
Worth the wait for the long episode. Glad you're still doing the hard platinums like this and Metal Gear Solid.
Cheers. The hard platinums do still occasionally entice me.
After watching several videos, I see your dedication and love for games. You got my sub. Keep em piling up🏆Greetings from Slovakia.
Thank you. Welcome to the channel.
Greetings from Ireland.
I lived in Tuam for a year and the moved to Enfield Co. Meath where I stayed for almost seven years. Moved back when my son got born... I love Ireland.
@@iNubpwn3r Wow, that is fantastic! Glad you had a good time. Ireland is a nice place to live.
This was my first fromsoftware game, nothing beats that feeling of learning a boss that seemed impossible at first and beating it
I first stumbled across your channel towards the beginning of secondary school. In a couple of months, I’ll have finished university… and I still look forward to the next platinum journey.
That is really cool. You've literally grown up watching me. Thanks for sticking around all these years.
Congratulations Adam I Was So Looking Forward To This Platinum Journey And It Didn’t Disappoint Looking Forward For Rachet And Clank Rift Apart

That is a huge compliment, thank you. Yeah, the MGS4 one is the best in my opinion too. Cheers!
Been looking really forward to this Adam. Can't wait to see how well the video has turned out
Absolutely loved the video, probably my favourite you've put out so far. Felt a lot shorter than it was, so you know it was a great one.
I'm very glad to see you enjoyed Sekiro, its one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Can't wait for the next one Adam, happy hunting :)
Can’t wait to watch this through, one of my favorite games ever!
This game is amazing. It takes time to master but once you understand the rhythm of each boss enemy, then you feel invincible.
Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time. I’m so excited for this video!
Fantastic video Adam. The editing, music and storytelling were all top notch. Really glad you enjoyed they game, it's honestly one of my favorite gameplay experiences. Thanks for such a phenomenal video.
Thank you. Glad you think the video is good. Yeah, I had a great time with Sekiro.
LETS GO!!!!! waited a long time for this one! this was my first FromSoftware plat, so big ups to you!!!
One of my favourite videos of yours. A special mention for your choice of music throughout. ❤
Thank you. A few people have brought up the music choice, glad people liked it.
Already here to rewatch yet again. It's currently 4:30 AM for me right now. Watching this, then off to bed
Its was a great watch! Well done Adam on beating Sekiro and getting the plat!
Cheers. Yeah, pretty happy with having this platinum.
Might be my new favourite video of yours. Really amazing.
Woah! That is high praise.
Been waiting for this for ages, so so good. One of the best games / videos yet.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
I love how your channel is a very chill no rush just play and enjoy I like a lot of trophy channels but genuinely wait for your videos because it seems you pick games that you genuinely enjoy

An absolute blast to watch. Seeing you go through the bosses and your plans of attack are always a joy, especially for these souls games. Cheers
Thank you. Glad you got a kick out my planning my strategy. Felt it was important to leave that in the episode.
10:55
Just like you, I fought the shinobi hunter a bit too early, prior to even unlocking the Mikiri counter.
On my first run, I died to him more than any other enemy in the entire game.
Oh my, doing the Shinobi Hunter without the Mikiri counter is damn tough.
@@AdamMcDermott it was, I Damm near quit the game than and there
Same here, took me ages and lots of deaths but got it done eventually. Pretty damn good primer for the rest of the game, actually haha
Only recently discovered your channel, Adam and I am obsessed, great content, really enjoying these video's. Keep up the excellent work mate!
Welcome to the channel. Delighted you enjoy my videos so much.
I've been waiting with anticipation for this episode, cannot wait to watch it now!
Been looking forward to this! Congrats Adam!
Thank you!
Well done Adam! A truly exceptional plat and another wonderful episode - thank you for taking us with you on this journey!
Thank you very much. Delighted you enjoyed the episode so much.
Sekiro is one of my favorite Platinums I have. Been working on Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I look forward to these episodes so much. Thank you.
You are more than welcome.
Let's Go! Loved every second of getting this platinum, Congrats Adam!
Thank you!
Man I love Sekiro and it's great to see other ppeople play and appreciate it as well. To this day it's still among my 3 most favorite platinums, because I had to really work for it after walking away from it twice, because I just couldn't get into the combat, I just didn't get it and it frustrated me to no end, because I've gotten the platinum (I count 100% on Steam as a platinum too even if it doesn't have one) every other From Software game multiple times, like every itteration of the games that were available to me, but I just couldn't get past Genichiro at Ashina castle, but in the end perseverace paid off.
Your production value is great. The platinum journey episodes feel like sitting down for an a good movie
That is exactly what I'm going for. Make each episode worthy of making time for.
Great video, Adam. Seing you with a white shirt and blue tie, always makes me smile.
I struggled so much with the final boss (Sword Saint, Isshin Ashina). It wasn’t even funny anymore. I took a two year long break.

Love your channel Adam, been watching you for years. Hope you never stop making these fantastic gems for us to enjoy! This platinum is definitely a tough one, big accomplishment 👏
Thanks for sticking around over the years. Don't worry, I'll be making videos for a long time to come.
Always love to see the notification whenever you upload!
Congrats. One of my personal proudest. Got this and Elden ring back to back
Congrats Adam! I hope to one day soon follow in your footsteps and also get the Platinum. I too have only completed Bloodborne to date and I hold both Bloodborne and Sekiro in high regard. I like some things about one more than I do the other, so I think I'm just happy to give them both 1st place :)
I've been waiting for this episode and it's one of your best! Congrats Adam, you did an amazing job on telling us your journey across Ashina with a lot of enjoyment!

Great Platinum Journey! I'd only done this in January myself! No game has given me a sense of genuine self progression and improvement like Sekiro. It trains you to be better. It's palpable.
Incredible episode, the storytelling in these videos is unmatched. Made me interested in playing the game as someone who hasnt played soulsborne games before.
That is a huge compliment. Thank you, James.
What I love about your Plat Journeys is that your production really feels like watching a BBC Nature doc by the legendary Attenborough:it’s soothing and also tells a unique story!
That is a huge compliment.
David Attenborough is a legend. In my opinion, England's greatest person. To be compared to him is a massive honour. Thank you.
Your editing skills keep getting better and better Adam!
Thank you for another great journey!
Thank you. The goal is always to be improving. For some episodes everything falls into place perfectly.
Ever since your Bloodborne platinum I went back and platinumed every fromsoftware game, thanks Adam 🤘🏼
I'm honoured. That is a big accomplishment.
Been waiting so long for this, Adam. Keep up the great work!
This is an amazing treat to enjoy after a long day at work, I highly anticipated this episode and love both this game and your incredible video format of platinum journeys!
Cheers. You've earned a rest.

Excellent video. Always look forward to your videos. Well done on the platinum
Glad you enjoyed the video.
still need to play this still, and this might’ve convinced me to. congratulations, cheers!
Definitely worth playing.
I’ve been a gamer 35 years and sekiro is without doubt my favourite game ever the satisfaction of beating the final boss for first time is unrivalled
You deserve a standing ovation after that video! 🎉 don’t know what else to say, just brilliant!
Thank you very much, buddy!
I have Covid so mostly just watching TH-cam today thank you for entertaining Adam.
Hope you feel better soon. Glad I can be a distraction for a bit.
A new platinum journey episode and a beer by my side, this is going to be a great day.
I love to hear this! It is why I say "grab a drink" at the start. For some that is tea, coffee or water, but I get a kick out it being beer for some folks.
@@AdamMcDermott really unnecessary comment my friend. Just say awesome snd go on
@@blicleak1101 Why is it really unnecessary? Genuinely curious.
Fantastic video, Adam! And well done
Adam this was one of the hardest platinums I've ever achieved! I'm glad I got through this after all that fustration!
Congratulations! Certainly a tough but satisfying challenge.
Alright man. I told you to do that almost 2 years ago. Now finally. Great as always
All in good time. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Congratulations!
After I got the hang of it, I felt quite satisfied with the game and with the achievements. But it took me a good 20 hours...
Btw the purple ninja gave me a headache, until I figured out, and destroyed him.
And good to see a fellow gamer finishes and overcome the struggles this game offer!
Those purple ninjas can be tough alright.
Cheers. It was a good experience.
Another master class episode!
Thank you very much, Pete. That means a lot.
I wish I was able to be as calm as you were while playing this game 😄 also the advice to turn down the music is pretty clever!
My calm comes from years of sucking at video games, haha.
Yeah, without music stuff gets so much less stressful.
Hey good to see you back
I never left, always tipping away in the background :)
I finally finished this game after starting it back in 2018 and I found it to be brutally difficult, frustrating and I began to doubt my own ability. So I took a break.
I came back to it a month ago and found a renewed sense of perseverance and patience. Failure to beat certain bosses was all part of the learning experience. Yesterday I got the Platinum and now I can watch this video without feeling bad 🙂
Congratulations on not giving up. Once the combat clicks, it is so satisfying.
Another amazing platinum journey. Phenomenal game done justice. Thank you!!
Cheers!
Always a pleasure watching you, Adam!
Cheers!
Exceptional video as always. I thought you'd struggle a lot with this game but glad to see you enjoyed it.
Thanks. Yeah, the combat clicked with me. Helps that it looks really cool.
Demon of hatred is actually a pretty good fight, though an acquired taste. It boils down to be all the way out and then all the way in. He's definitely a sekiro boss, he just feels different.
Excellent stuff, Adam! Much like you, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
Nothing like being up at 12 A.M and watching a new platinum journey. Thanks Adam, your content is always amazing!
You are more than welcome!

great video as per usual, adam. missed these
Thank you!
As someone who has currently platinumed all of fromsoftware souls games( ds2 hasn’t been attempted yet and DS1 is in progress )
Words can not how utterly excited I Am for this.
Sekiro has the best combat in all of my gaming experience, it’s both the hardest to learn and the easiest to master
Really good combat in Sekiro. I had a great time.
@@AdamMcDermott glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wait for Elden ring next year! Elden ring difficulty depends mainly on how you decide to approach it. It can be the hardest or the easiest if you decide to whether use a meta build or whether you decide to use Summons or not.
So basically feel free to do whatever you want!
Yes! Been waiting for this one, favourite fromsoft game
I won’t be watching this for a while as I plan on playing this one day but I wanted to show my support for what I’m sure is another cracking episode
Thank you very much!
Been eagerly awaiting this episode, woohoo!!!
Absolutely cannot wait for the Elden Ring platinum next year Adam. Good luck, fellow tarnished!
Good work as always Adam. I am currently working my way through Resident Evil remake and just have to get the two endings with Chris and the no save playthroughs done. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was one of the most fun experiences I have had with a ps5 game. I would also recommend Returnal. even though it's a rogue like game, I think you will enjoy the gameplay.
Thank you. Best of luck with Resident Evil.
Returnal doesn't interest me I'm afraid.
Another banger Adam!!
Thank you very much, Josh.
Congrats on the platinum! I’m still trying to get mine, I’m about 3/4 of the way there. The only trophy stopping me is gathering all the prayer beads. I’m missing one and have no clue what boss it is. Great video!
Thanks. Best of luck finding that last prayer bead!
It could be one of the ones you can find in the world? There’s a lot of them spread out in random places …
@@destinsather9757 well when I started playing it again I realized I’m missing 2 prayer beads instead of 1… so it must be around the map somewhere
Finally got round watching the rest of this fantastic journey and yes I’ll be buying this for my own platinum journey 😅.
Good luck! Its a fantastic game
Awesome video i can fell the love you have with the game
I vowed myself away from Souls games as I got older since I get so angry haha, but awesome episode. Love when I see a new video of yours come up on my feed! 🥳
Good for you man, this is widely considered the hardest fromsoft game. Either way for me it's the best combat of any game.
Thank you. It is one of my favourite combat systems in a game too.
This gotta be in my top 3 favourites videos of all time because goddam this is a good video, the wait was definitely worth it!! I thought you were going to struggle in the guardian ape fight a bit more but I guess im just not good at the game😅
I was thinking maybe you could do a series where you see the platinum trophies of subscriberd while you do this videos so the channel becomes a little bit more active while you do the next platinum journey episode. just an ideia tho
Wow, that is glowing praise. Thank you.
I don't care for looking at other peoples' trophy lists I'm afraid. Don't even look at my own. Thank you for the suggestion though. I know you are trying to help.
Great video Adam! Have to respect anyone who can play these games because I give up almost immediately lol
I was able to platnium Elden Ring but i couldn’t get past the first hour of Sekiro, lol. Adam definitely has some skill.
@@The-CoffeeMan GG on the plat. I’ve never even played Elden ring. It’s a shame as I do want to try it but I’m 98% sure I won’t like it
Thanks! I don't blame you for giving up, it can be a steep learning curve.
We all have our own strengths, Sekiro seemed to click for me. First-person shooters are my downfall, haha.
@@AdamMcDermott yet you platniumed a few of those, lol.
Nice! I've been excited about this one for a while now!
Hope it was worth the wait. Let me know what you think afterwards.
@Adam McDermott Wow, another great video. Definitely lives up to the channel name, that was quite a journey. I feel as I've I've experienced Sekiro just by watching you play through it. The music was excellent, and the pacing was great. Every minute felt really important to the whole video. My favourite part of your videos is always your love of the environments, not many people take the time to show their appreciation of the setting of the game. Didn't think anything could knock bloodborne off of the top spot. Your love for this game really shows. I'm even more excited for your Witcher 3 video now
@@ironmike_0227 It is always wonderful when the things I try to do are noticed - making every minute feel important, love of environments.
Delighted you enjoyed the episode so much. Witcher 3 will have some environmental love too. Gonna treat the continent like a real place with each area being its own living thing.
@@AdamMcDermott can't wait
great episode, great game. thank you adam
You are more than welcome
Hello just letting you know a thing about mini bosses you can reset the area after killing just the enemies with the mini boss still alive if he notices you can just ran away and hide till you arent noticed then just sneak back and get your death blow guaranteed. Love the video great job and I'm currently trying to platinum sekiro as well... I just beat owl father!! That was a insane fight I died too many times but he died so I guess it evens out sorry for the long message. Again love your videos and have a great night.
Thanks for the tip. Best of luck with the rest of Sekiro.
Have a great night yourself!
Finally!!!! Glad you enjoyed it adam 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Excellent vid mate
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on the platinum your blood borne video inspired me to platinum it I think you just did the same for this well done
Thank you. I'm honoured I inspired you.
