Rank your top HARDEST games to get a Platinum trophy - Blu-ray Forum

ngkf7 · 12-12-2008, 01:07 AM

Hey as I slowly chug towards 100% in GTA, I was wondering what games you own that you think are the hardest to reach 100%.

For me, my list is:

3. LittleBigPlanet (I know it's not hard but I suck at making good levels, and therefor no gold trophy for me)
2. GTA IV
1. Warhawk (wayyyy too time consuming)

I have platinums in Uncharted, CoD 5, and Dead Space. Those games are jokes compared to GTA and Warhawk.

silversnake · 12-12-2008, 01:11 AM

Wipeout HD

I just re-read your post. COD world at war is no joke. GTA IV is easy to get , just time consuming.

air_max · 12-12-2008, 01:33 AM

Only have platinum's in two games right now (Uncharted and LBP), but i can make a short list.

1. WipEout-- gave up because I decided that it would be impossible...for me

2. Resistance 2-- Have to dominate in all 3 facets of the game to get all the trophies. Relative to what I've played, its the 2nd hardest, but I suspect there are several games I have not played that are much harder.

3. LittleBigPlanet-- collecting all bubbles and acing every level was frustrating, but not impossible.

4. Uncharted-- crushing provided a decent challenge, but it only took about a week to get all the trophies

5. Burnout-- if things were retroactive, id have all the trophies already. now its just a matter of time to do it all again.

im assuming that games like Warhawk, GTA4, and Bioshock would fall between 1 and 2 in my list.

toef · 12-12-2008, 01:37 AM

I'd say Wipeout... because some of the trophies are just impossible. Other games might be hard too, but most are just a matter of putting in the time.

Psx0005 · 12-12-2008, 02:18 AM

1. Wipeout HD
2. PAIN
3. Pixeljunk Monsters

CYMBOL · 12-12-2008, 02:30 AM

Warhawk is about impossible without literally devoting your life.

PAIN - is a very difficult game when trying to achieve a goal.

definitely wipeoutHD. good god that game is hard. platinum is just a dream for some of us in this game.

Mr. HiDef · 12-12-2008, 04:32 PM

Why is Wipeout so hard havent downloaded it yet was going to this weekend but is it worth it?

becomingwater · 12-12-2008, 04:49 PM

Just curious...How do you all find time to get all of the trophys?...lol Thats amazing some of you have LBP and COD5 trophys.. thats awesome. If only I could make a good level in LBP.

Galley · 12-12-2008, 05:16 PM

Pain

jamclaur · 12-12-2008, 05:17 PM

Pain is a PAIN in the ass.

ScarredLungs · 12-12-2008, 05:21 PM

Resistance 2 (it is the only Trophy game i have)

york weir · 12-12-2008, 05:24 PM

I've never gone for trophies in PS3 games. Is it basically a copy of the achievements where you have to do certain things in games to get the trophies?

MacDaddyOJack · 12-12-2008, 05:52 PM

WipEout HD is insane and Warhawk will take literally a year of in-game time!

I know it doesn't have trophies, but MegaMan 9 is one of the hardest games I have played in a long time!

Idealsupra · 12-12-2008, 06:21 PM

I think the word "hardest" is being used differently by a lot of posters then it should be.

Warhawk Platinum is not "hard", its extremely time consuming. Its not "hard" to get general rank. It doesnt really take a ton of skill to get there. Simply a ton of time.

Wipeout HD is a "hard" platinum. Rockband 2 is a "hard" platinum because of the expert playing required and some of the songs are brutal.

Also R2 isnt that "hard" except beating it on Superhuman. The rest is just time consuming.

Bioshock isnt "hard" because you can simply just keep reloading your save file if you die on Survivor difficulty so its just a matter of getting through it.

I dont know, from what Ive seen and played there arent too many HARD platinums. There are a ton of TIME CONSUMING platinums however.

Until PoP, Burnout was the EASIEST game to get Platinum. Criterion made up for them not being retroactive by making them so easy. Not much challenge here

Icemage · 12-12-2008, 10:03 AM

Bioshock's platinum is pretty crazy. Finishing on Survivor mode without dying takes enormous skill and enormous luck.

GTA4's isn't bad, just enormously time consuming (esp. those stupid pigeons!).

Warhawk is by far the most difficult platinum. By far. Not only are some of the objectives enormously annoying, but as mentioned... General rank? Ouch.

Uncharted and Prince of Persia are both relatively tame.

Rock Band 2 is fairly brutal unless you're a very good player. Getting a platinum artist icon can be extremely challenging, and the Bladder of Steel trophy isn't much fun either unless you're on vocals.

LittleBigPlanet isn't horrible, just enormously tedious.

Resistance 2 is crazy. 10,000 online kills and other bizarro criteria.

WipeOut HD is pretty insane unless you're brilliant at the game.

Mirror's Edge's trophies seem pretty nasty too.

AikonEnt · 12-12-2008, 11:59 AM

Well I only have 1 (

) at the moment and that's on Burnout which is pretty simple to do. Uncharted I have to do on hard and crushing to get the platinum, but should be doable with a bit of patience (of which I'm severely lacking unfortunately). The 2 hardest from my perspective would have to be Warhawk, because there is no way I will ever spend that amount of time on the game to get to the highest rank, and Pain because the things you have to do for about 90% of the trophies are impossible.

But basically any game that requires me to play online is going to be pretty difficult because I just don't have the time or the will to actually play that much online, maybe just a few hours at the weekend is as much as I will do.

I'm glad people say Prince of Persia is easy because at least I might get another platinum

A question about the Bioshock trophies. Do you also have to get the trophies from the downloadable content to also get the platinum? If so that's a bit sneaky of them to do that.

Shigun · 12-12-2008, 12:00 PM

Warhawk is definitely the hardest Platinum to get in my opinion. I've got about 165 hours clocked in the game and only about a fifth to General rank if I recall correctly.

PixelJunk Eden I find fairly difficult. Not letting a single pollen go to waste, collecting 500,000 pollen in a game. I'm just not that good.

Resistance 2 is moderate, mostly time consuming to play through everything that is required, especially the 10,000 kills trophy.

LittleBigPlanet is moderate, again mostly time consuming to play through the levels multiple times to collect all prizes and ace them. Took me forever to figure out how to get past the giant hamster wheel of doom without dying. I'm in the same boat as most of you, no one wants to play my online levels (let alone heart them!).

Burnout is easy (need one more trophy there - invite a friend to an online game. None of my friends play the game, so this trophy taunts me.)

Dead Space is very easy, just takes a little bit of time (Again, need one more trophy - beat the game on Impossible, but that should be doable.)
