@render well done mate, a hard earned and well-deserved #65 👏

@render Great stuff on Dead Nation, I hope you enjoyed the game overall despite the annoying run repetition at the end..truly the definition of insanity.
It seems like I'm the last to obtain the platinum as it is still on my to-do list.

@colonelkilgore @CaptD Cheers guys, that did end up being tougher than I thought. I think I put 45 hours in all told so way beyond what the guides suggested. Still an enjoyable game though and I can see similar themes with the game play between Dead Nation, Nex Machina, Resogun and Returnal.

@render
Good effort. We knew you had it in you.

#179 PGA Tour 2k23 (PS5)
It's in the hole.
Pretty straightforward list to complete - only needed one online match and just about everything else done in career mode. Think it's my 30th shiny of the year as well.

@sorteddan It's in the sand.
Well done on that, I did the MP trophy the other day. I played Tigger W and lost overall, although I did win the second hole, honestly I felt like swinging my virtual club at something.
I need to improve my putting skills.

My latest plat is Ys IX something Nox. Looks like a PS3 game and plays like one but I guess that is their old engine, their Ys games used to be on Vita as well but not Ys9.
Good game with charm but a step back from Ys8 imo and it felt more button mashy.
3/10 difficulty and about 50 hours (I did two playthroughs although speed ran the second).
Played via PS Extra, definitely recommend but only after playing Ys8.

#42 - Ratchet and Clank 2

Decent list, really appreciate not having one awful trophy like the PS4 game does. Skill points cover loads of different parts of the game so the variety’s there and it was fun upgrading the weapons. Last little bit grinding for bolts took me 5 minutes.

Bit annoyed I can’t get Far Cry 4’s platinum cause they put co-op and competitive multiplayer ones in the main set. Hate when they do that with a single player game, I did 100% of the map for zero payoff.

Congrats all on your recent platinums @sorteddan @CaptD @nessisonett

@sorteddan I enjoyed PGA Tour 2K21 earlier this year and will look forward to making PGA Tour 2K23 my next annual golf game next year (around the time of the Masters).

@CaptD yeah I noticed you were putting a fair few hours into this recently. I had heard that VIII was a bit better than IX… but that IX was still a good game. I’m looking forward to starting my first Ys game when I get the chance.

@nessisonett Well done on the Ratchet and Clank, totally agree about the trophy list.
As for Far Cry 4, I'm sure I read the other day that the servers are down anyway so the platinum is unobtainable even if you did want to play the coop/competitive modes.
I have a love/hate relationship with ubi servers, I like the fact that they keep them running for years (unlike, say Sony) but I hate the fact that they seem very temperamental. I always rush out to get the MP trophies first if I buy a Ubi game.

@colonelkilgore Yeah I was playing an insane amount of Ys 9, mainly because there are missables and in some bizarre fashion which I can't explain, I was constantly playing to get to the end and see if I missed any. The trophy guides out there are not very good and information is scattered over several web sites.
