Top Ten Most Satisfying Platinum Trophies

Having seen a couple of weeks break from the regular Sunday Special feature here at Electronic Theatre, we thought we’d do things a little differently this week. Rather than showcasing ten titles selected by our team, we instead have turned Sony Computer Entertainment for this week’s feature article, presenting the top ten most satisfying Platinum Trophies to unlock on PlayStation 3.

my number one most satisfying trophy was modnation racers, damn that was time consuming!

blitz06234648d ago

How is Demon's Souls not on that list

malol4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

the only game i plated on my whole life was BFBC2
and that's only because they are easy to get loooooool XD

anyway i don't care that much about Trophies i just play a game and if i got a trophy that's nice

thugbob4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

How is Killzone 2 not on the list but Killzone 3 is?

KZ2 is hard to plat, but when you plat it is very satisfying. You feel as if you accomplished something most gamers couldn't accomplish.

I plated KZ3 with my eyes closed. That game was so easy to plat, for me anyways.

-Alpha4648d ago

Clearly the author did not get the Demon's Souls trophy and has not experienced the satisfaction

I have three platinums only:

Killzone 3
Uncharted 2
Bad Company 2

All very easy but BC2's Demolition trophy (20 demolition kills online) was the most frustrating and therefore most earned platinum I have

BiggCMan on here has the platinum for Demon's Souls. I am envious of him

adonis1834648d ago

1.RDR Best Platinum ever
2.UC2
3.BFBC2
4.Trine

saladthieves4648d ago

If someone has a platinum in Whipeout HD...........screw you!

WildArmed4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

Hmm.. My persona picks would be:
Killzone 2
Demons Souls
Unreal Tournament 3 (Damn that game and it's Elite mode)
White Knight Chronicles (ok, maybe this isn't universal)
Bad Company 2 (I loved those demo kills trophy! some of them were really fun)
Red Dead Redemption (Sooo much variety in that plat!)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

..yeah, really can't recall too many atm.

edit: I totally forgot Burnout Paradise ... ok mabye the plat wasn't too satisfying, but the game was amazing!

Commander_TK4648d ago

How some of u got 20 demolition kills in BC2 is beyond me

malol4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

@Commander_TK
lol easy

you see i hate snipers that camp in a freakin building so
i use tanks and C4 to bring the whole thing down on his head
sometimes i rig the building with c4 before i arm the M-com

XD thats how

Why o why4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

wipeout and any yakuza

LegendarySins4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

GT5 and Wipeout HD as well, both way harder than some on the list

Edit: these are the only 2 platinums I have but I have maxed loads of games on the 360 CODs etc, but these 2 platinums where definitely 2 of the most satisfying achievements this generation - along with cod4 mile high achievement.

trenso14647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

wow kz2 didnt make the list but kz3 did?! kz3 was so easy i did it 8 days compared to kz2 which i didnt get till after black ops come out!. and i got it day one and infamous 2? i dont think it should be on the list either that was also easy did it in 3 days.

BigBacon874647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

Batman: Arkham Asylum belongs up there too.

rjdofu4647d ago

Most of fighting games are hard too plat, as they require more skill that just grinding. Also, NGS2, Demon Soul, and the freakig Wipeout HD.

jessupj4647d ago

I have all those plats bar ME2 because it doesn't work in my PS3. RDR and Dead Space 2 are the only ones deserving to be on that list.

Demon's Souls should be there (I have all 3 DS platinums from the 3 different regions)

KZ2 should be there (getting in the top 1 percent at the end of the week is no easy feat.

Wipeout HD - I need not explain

GT5 - Right up there with Wipeout in turns of difficulty

Vanquish, Dead Nation, Yakuza 3, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - All desrerve to be on the list.

I don't think the arthor knows what he's talking about.

execution174647d ago

getting that Gold Standard trophy for GT5 >.> I don't think I'll ever plat GT5 because of it, only plats I have are BFBC2, Fallout 3, Infamous, and White Knight Chronicles.

mastiffchild4647d ago

Well: Demon's Souls, Warhawk, KZ2, UT3 would all be more demanding and, hence, more satisfying to get, than anything on the list. Maybe they just meant the most satisfying THEY managed to get? Who knows ut there are harder platinums to get than those puppies.

hqgamez4647d ago

Demon's Souls-Pain
Vanquish- What a bitch
GT5- OH MY GOSH, WHEN WILL IT END
Socom Confrontation-Fuck it
Wipeout HD-How many times did you try? over 9000 TIME, WHAT 9000!! WTF!!!! BOOM!!!

I_find_it_funny4647d ago

NONE od platinums are satisfing for me I always feel like I should've spent that time doing something better

but recently I'm not into trophies anymore got to me it has no purpose at all I jsut play games, that's it

PickAShoe4647d ago

that game is hard as hell... im stuck on armor spider D:

Istanbull4648d ago

Every platinum trophy is satisfying, I dont know how u can make a Top 10 list? The most satisfying should be difficult ones like Demon's Souls, WipEout HD, Disgaea 3 or SOCOM

geoholyhart4648d ago

Yea, I sgree. Most on his list are considered rather easy trophies and I didn't see any particular reason he thought they were more fun (trophy-wise) compared to other games.

Shikoro4647d ago

I got the WipEout HD platinum. If you don't believe me, here's my trophy list:
http://us.playstation.com/p...

:)

BinaryMind4648d ago

My most satisfying platinum trophy would be actually getting one :S

cochise3134648d ago

don't feel bad I got my first plat with the sly collection and this was just last week. I almost sh!t myself lol. that was satisfying.

hamburger1234648d ago

Try Assassins Creed 2 that one was super easy

Kurt Russell4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

I've only got one - Sonic Racing :D

Solid_Snake-4647d ago

the only good game on the PS3 didnt even have trophies...

BigBacon874647d ago

That and Mag we're my most time consuming(soon to be joined by Mortal Kombat) but I woulnd't place them at the top of my list just for that reason.

kparks4647d ago

How is fight night not on that list??? if u got the online world champion trophy then u are a true bad a$$

el_bandito4647d ago

I did manage to get some platinums. I admit it felt great when I got some from my shooters (KZ2, CoDWaW, Resistance 2 and Unreal Tournament 3) and from action games (Batman AA and GoW3).

I have given up on Wipeout,Mirror's Edge, certain SF and MK games among a few. I think I won't ever get them.

Philoctetes4647d ago

Terrible list. How do you include super-easy platinums like Uncharted 2 and Fallout 3 while leaving out Demon's Souls and Killzone 2?

Also, anybody who got platinum in Motorstorm: Pacific Rift will point out that that's a glaring omission too.

Chaostar4648d ago

Burnout Paradise was one of my most satisfying Plats, not sure why, guess I just put a lot of quality time in with it. Also inFamous, finding those last few blast shards and hearing that platinum ping was pure satisfying victory!

Cablephish4648d ago

They should make the platinum ping different from all the other trophy pings.

BeOneWithTheGun4648d ago

It should be similar to Big Ben. A whole series of chimes and bells followed by a big BONG.

Cablephish4647d ago

@BeOneWithTheGun

lol, hell yeah.

Acezakj4647d ago

They should play the soundtrack from Inception it'll scare the crap out of people. Ahaha.

-Alpha4648d ago

Burnout's Platinum is ruined by the stupid "Take a takedown picture with your USB camera" trophy. I wanted BP's plat sooo bad

Barry321714647d ago

FWIW, I went to GS, bought a $2 PS2 eye camera (this was before I picked up Move), and got that done.

P_Bomb4647d ago

I take it you never got the Move? Same camera.

Nitrowolf24647d ago

took my nearly a year I think before i got that final trophy

Pillage054647d ago

I just got it when the move came out. I also had to beg people online to do the challenge to meet at the stadium...got lucky with a group finally.

Redempteur4647d ago

i feel satisfaction when i platinium a game.

That's all .

Miiikeyyy4648d ago

I'd say Uncharted 2 (crushing difficulty was a bastard!) Infamous (finding the blast shards) and Batman Arkham Asylum for the damn challanges (They became pretty easy once I sorted my combo's out)

King_many_layers4647d ago

You should go give Uncharted DF a ty if you thought AT was difficult.

They seriously lowered the difficulty with less enemy flanking.

Hellsvacancy4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

Itll hav to be Demon's Souls for me, far more satisfyin than me Red Dead Platinum, Dead Space 2 looked rather hard to Platinum, i didnt like the game as much as i did the first, wasnt intendin on spendin ANY-more time playin it, kudos if YOU did it though

smt304648d ago

Demon's Souls platinum is pretty easy. I think the games hardness is vastly overrated, because you die often doesn't mean its a hard game - just "don't make the same mistake again!".

geoholyhart4648d ago

Yea, I agree Demon's Souls, imo was pretty easy! Solo'ing monster hunter is by far harder. Most retro games are harder. It was a fun platinum to earn though, but certainly not hard lol.

clarkdef4648d ago

The game was not that hard yes. But you can't say the same about the plat. The rare stones are well.. rare.

aprone4647d ago

I am currently working on the Demon's Souls plat. The game is difficult, but, as you said, it's a trial and error difficulty. I am enjoying the game and kicking myself for not picking it up earlier. I'm not quite done with my first play-through, but I hear that it takes about three or so play-through's to get the plat, is that correct?

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 4647d ago
-Alpha4648d ago

Show off! I am so jealous.

Pillage054647d ago

Took me 8 straight hours of grinding to get the pure bladestone. As well as I didn't get a pure darkmoonstone to drop for like 8 playthroughs. Although I noticed as soon as I leveled my luck to like 15 it drops about once per playthrough now lol.

OtherWhiteMeat4648d ago

Why isn't Demon's Souls on there ? It took me over a hundred hours receive the platinum trophy and I loved every minute of it.

Kee4648d ago

I would have to agree. Took me even longer and I was so happy to finally get it.

hqgamez4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

getting plat on demon's souls was like you trying to take a shit that didn't want to come out and after times of pushing and forcing, it finally comes out leaving you with a great sensation.

Yes I know, I'm one strange gamer.

frjoethesecond4648d ago

Thats a great way of putting it.

Rynx4648d ago

But what if you only manage to sh*t out a "pebble" or when you KNOW there's still more sh*t inside? lol

Anderson84648d ago

i'm still one trophy away from that plat... fucking chunk of bladestone!!!!!

OtherWhiteMeat4648d ago

I feel your pain.......I can't remember how long it took me to get all the chunks of bladestone.I know it was probably over ten hours.Good luck

xabmol4647d ago

I finally got that damn PBS the other day. Call me crasy, but I think the trick is to kill that red skelly in Offline mode.

I got PBWT and ran back from the old hero's archstone killed the reaper with some arrows and firestormed that skelly. PBS first try.

May have just been luck, but damn, I have farmed that fucker for hours before trying it offline.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers17d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken16d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g17d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing16d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H917d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola16d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66916d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle16d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg17d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos17d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola17d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel31d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel30d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia31d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda31d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long31d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto30d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long30d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?
