So I accidentallly ended up getting the platinum trophy for God of War Ragnarok, I ended up doing so much of the side content/collectibles during the campaign that I was so close it seemed criminal not to at least try for it.
This was my very first platinum, and perhaps it was a mistake because I immediately started eyeing all my games in a desire for the sweet dopamine rush of seeing the pop up that proves I am a good person and successful gamer (yes, I know but try telling my brain it doesn’t work like that)
To absolutely no one’s surprise I returned to the last of us series. I never platinumed the remaster on a technicality. It requires multiplayer you see, and no. But the Part 1 remake does *not* so a quick afternoon of cleaning up collectibles I didn’t nab before because I already had in the remake and DOPAMINE PLATINUM RUSH.
And now Part 2.
I had 2 sticking points there. It requires a grounded play through and a permadeath play through. And some areas of the game I just barely get through and only if I stealth which makes picking up collectibles in those areas dicey, especially cards and coins. But I did grounded. So I’ve put permadeath on but set to chapter and difficulty at light+ (so I can have all my upgrades and weapons).
This should be interesting considering I’ve had to go all the way back to the beginning of Seattle Day 1 already for the undignified reason that I accidentally fell off a ladder. BUT I WANT THAT PLATINUM. Kratos can’t have it while Ellie and Abby don’t that would just be wrong.
