Dang very impressive with the number of trophies. I highly encourage people if possible to find another friend that is into trophy / achievement hunting and challenge them the way we're doing it since it's very motivating and very fun to do.
I've been completing games as a whole for about 4 and a half years now myself, with trophy hunting being my primary since December 2022 when I finally picked myself up a PS4 Pro. Just found your channel and I've been itching for this type of content for a long time, I really love just listening and watching someone talk in-depth about the trophies they're earned, their trophy stories, just anything around trophies. I'm also a collector myself, though I haven't watched any of your collection videos I very much look forward to getting to them very soon. To repeat everyone else, your determination for trophies and the game you have with your friend has inspired me to finally get into gear and start widdling down my unearned trophies with the use of an RNG wheel, since I don't really have any trophy friends, to determine what games I finish off next. Day before last I finally cleaned up the last two DLC of the original Bioshock after procrastinating for over a year because of how difficult the trophy guide said the Worlds of Hurt - Expert trophy would be (did it on my first attempt with ease lol). Do you happen to have a discord server, or a patreon somewhere, or intend to open a patreon page? I'd really like to support you!
I really appreciate all the kind words, thank you so much! No patreon or discord or anything for now, so the best way to support is just to watch and enjoy the videos :) I love the idea of doing an RNG wheel for things! There's just something really nice about taking the decision out of your own hands. It also helps so much with difficult trophies because things you told yourself were too hard in the past now your thoughts will be "well I have to try, that's just the way it goes". It might not be work for everyone, but for me it's super motivating :) Also cool to hear you're a collector too! Any specific systems or types of games that you focus on?
@@Blinkoom Yeah I've only used it twice so far, about to begin finishing off Days Gone, but it does really help. That thought pattern of "well I have to try, that's just the way it goes" is the same one I've grown to have. Tomorrow I'm going to really push myself to do the 10/20 mode for Five Nights At Freddy's 2 with it being 10 years since it releases on the 11th, and I know it's going to take hours most likely all day but it's gotta be done at some point right if I want that coveted 100% completion rate. Some games I find any motivation like that to do. For a lot of my unfinished games an RNG wheel is the only way I'm going to get them done. I collect for a lot of different platforms and franchises. PS1 through PS5, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, DS, 3DS, Wii, WiiU, Switch, and most recently I've started collecting CIB GBA games, though only have 5 so far. For games, there are so many franchises I enjoy, but I am trying to collect every Resident Evil and every Crash Bandicoot game CIB as those are my two favourite franchises. I don't have many left for either franchise, maybe 3/4 for each. My focus at the moment is for original Playstation (forked out the money to buy the original 4 resident evil games for my PS1 collection which was not cheap but well worth it), GBA and PS5 since I really don't have many PS5 games. I'd like to extend the same question to you as I'm pretty new here. Any systems or franchises in specific you are working on right now?
@jazzyboswell768 haha actually a hard question even though I asked it :P I mostly am a collector-player so I buy games that I want to play... There just happens to be a lot of those! So big ol wishlist of 1000+ games I'd like to have some day ranging from NES to PS5. Right now I'm really enjoying PS4 collecting though because it's affordable and has a huge range of games. Plus lots of indies got physical releases on PS4 which is cool! I also hsve a weird side goal of owning every mini-golf game ever released but I'm a long ways away from that one 😂
Yeah 200 is approaching quickly! I pick one of my favorite indie games every 50 platinums, so I gotta work out which one I want to add to the profile but don't have the platinum in yet! I have a few ideas :D
October was a good month for me. Completed Immortals of aveum on the PS5, decent game and I'm proud of it because I normally don't play on a hard difficulty. I also got the platinum for Spiderman on PS4 (no DLC). I got the platinum for Day of the tentacle whicn was in my backloog for years. I reconnected my PS3 to clean up my backlog. Got the platinum for Sly 2 after 11 years (missed 3 trophies for purchasing some gadgets). I'm now playing Ratchet and Clank tools of destruction, but that game doesn't have trophies. Quite weird that trophies became a thing in the middle of the PS3 life cycle. On the PS5 I'm playing Biomutant, which is ok but nothing spectacular. Keep up the good work. It is nice to see all the progress every month.
Yoooo Sly after 11 years is awesome! You got a bunch of cool platinums this month, dang. Immortals of Aveum I bought on a sale a while back and I'm looking forward to checking it out some day. I love the variety in the games you went for too, you've got platforms, point and clicks, shooters, etc. I always appreciate someone with a wide range of taste in games.
You should really consider adding B-Roll in such videos. Like if you talk about a game, add a bit of gameplay while you are talking. Love the plat dedication in that month. Gotta do the same!
Good luck on the grind! And yeah agree on b-roll, it just comes down to time. Right now I choose between either get a video out roughly once a week or so with minimal editing or get out only a few vids a month with more b-roll/editing. Once more free time opens up we'll see how things go. But more than anything, thanks for watching, appreciate it :D
Man, the video I've been waiting for.. has been really fun connecting with you and the gang on Twitch, but I've been anxious to see how your trophy grind has been going! I'm currently working on three games (still): Demon's Souls (PS5 remake), Sly Cooper and the Theivious Racoonous, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Black Ops 6 is taking up most of my time with the MP and Zombies trophies, but it's pretty good overall. I'm also just really enjoying the MP. It's good this year. I'm excited to get back to Demon's Souls.
I've been hearing from a lot of CoD fans that BO6 seems to be one of the better ones in recent memory, so glad you're enjoying it! Always nice when a game delivers on what you werehoping like that. Keep at that Demon's Souls remake because it's a fun plat! A bit finicky but very doable if you know what mistakes to avoid. And Sly Cooper? Now you're just after my heart with that one. Thanks so much for hanging out on the streams it's been a pleasure, and thanks for watching!
@Blinkoom For sure, looking forward to future streams! We need more of them. Again, this is o_menino_brabo, btw! I need to consolidate all of my different usernames into one lol
My october was very slow for plats because of my the last of us 2 perma grind. I only got the completion for DQ11 and DAI in preparation for veilguard, which were 95% done from september. Currently working on DA veilguard and really enjoying it.
Congrats on DQ11! I loved going for that plat, I thought it was super fun. Glad to hear you're liking Veilguard. I only ever played Dragon Age: Origins. You think I should play 2 and DAI before the new one?
I just finished campaigns and riddler in Arkham city, which I first started at 17 November 2011. Currently playing through NG+ and I plan to wait out till 17.11.24 to pop the plat.
Wow that's awesome, congrats on finishing those up so long after the fact! I love that you have a date planned out for when you want to pop it. There was a small part of me that wanted to wait a few months and let Heavy Rain hit the 15 year mark, but I figured I should probably just move on while it's top of mind.
Looking back, my October was kind of a lighter month. I did play a lot but not as much as I wanted to for various reasons. I finally started a game I was heavily anticipating called "Tevi", a 2D Action-Platformer or Metroidvania if you prefer. Despite some gripes, at least compared to it's predecessor "Rabi-Ribi", I did still really like it. I do recommend giving it a shot if you're willing to. And it being October, I wanted to squeeze in some horror games and thankfully I was able to. Managed to do both "Darkwood", which is fantastic, as well as "Signalis", which I was more mixed on but it's still really good. Sadly that was all the spook games for spook season I managed. Though funnily, "Darkwood" did get me one UR, that being the platinum itself, which I didn't realize was UR until after the fact. 47:30 ("Mad Rat Dead") Holy crap, that is definitely not a game you ever see brought up. In fact, this is my first time seeing anyone else in the wild with it logged on their account. The main reason I know about it is cause NIS is literally my favorite developer. Big "Disgaea" fan but I enjoy a lot of their other IPs and smaller projects as well. I mean, I went on a whole tangent about "A Rose In the Twilight" in one of your other recent videos. And "Mad Rat Dead" is definitely one of the more notable modern picks I really enjoyed. Heck, looking it up just now, I'm the 2nd platinum achiever for the NA version...that's a complete surprise to me. I guess as a fun fact, NIS has this thing where in their upcoming games, they will often include guest cameos of characters from their other IPs. Sometimes as part of the base games, sometimes added in later as DLC. It's one part self marketing but also just really fun nonsense. Kind of has created this whole NIS-verse that I see some people sometimes joke about. Like some examples: Kogure Souichirou from "Hayarigami" (A horror detective VN) was in "Disgaea 3", Plume from "Battle Princess of Arcadias" was in "Disgaea D2", Pirohiko from "Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman" was in "The Guided Fate Paradox", Metallia from "The Witch & The Hundred Knight" was in both "Disgaea D2" and "5", etc. So for their next big upcoming release, "Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero" (or just "Phantom Brave 2"), it was already announced to be getting various DLC characters and there were some wild picks: 4 characters from the first "Phantom Brave", Liar Princess from "The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince, Girl (the protagonist) from "Yomawari", Samayoi from "Bar Stella Abyss" (which I'm still sad about it remaining a JP only release), and finally...Mad Rat alongside Heart from, well, "Mad Rat Dead". It's absurd and I love it.
Mad Rat Dead is such a cool game, glad to hear you're also a fan! I will say, stay tuned next month for the Nov updated because it shows up again ;D And dang Tevi looks really cool. I'd never heard of that one but I do have Rabi-Ribi in my backlog. Maybe early next year I'll try to get around to checking both of those out. The rest of my 2024 is mostly going to be 2024 releases in anticipation of GOTY time so I won't have a lot of backlog gaming between now and then (most likely).
Cool video. I love seeing games with a huge gap between starting and completing. I should let any reader know I'm on xbox so no platinums for me. October was a fun month. I got the 1000 for Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered and Digimon Survive. For November I'm planning on playing some Sonic Superstars. Have a fun month gaming everyone. 👍
Oh wow what are that chances that we both cleaned it up that long after the fact! And congrats on knocking it out! Feels good to see those long timelines on PSNP
@@Blinkoom It can be hard to go back to those old games when it seems something new and cool is just around the corner, but I've managed to spend the year working on those old goodies from when I got my first PS3. Deus Ex Machina Human Revolution is the next backlog game for me to clear.
Dang very impressive with the number of trophies.
I highly encourage people if possible to find another friend that is into trophy / achievement hunting and challenge them the way we're doing it since it's very motivating and very fun to do.
Yeah man it makes it like 10x more fun!

Hey love watching these - great vid again
Thanks so much!
Now that's a solid month right there mate! 😎🤘
Closing in on number 200 in the platinums, keen to see what you decide to have as that milestone 😁🏆

Nice job on Ni no Kuni! I love that game, it's super fun. Pretty impressive that you got the completion on two different RPGs in a month too!
I also just finished up a 14 year plat run of Heavy Rain. My RE5 (PS3) run was slightly longer
Oh wow what are that chances that we both cleaned it up that long after the fact! And congrats on knocking it out! Feels good to see those long timelines on PSNP
