Platinum #174: Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters

Hey there!

Green Lantern:Rise of the Manhunters is another game in which you can unlock the Platinum Trophy quick and without much effort.

Most of the trophies will unlock naturally whilst playing through the game on hard. Don’t worry, hard is pretty easy if you have a second controller lying around. Simply press START on your second controller when you’re about to die. Now you only need to survive 10 seconds with as player 2. Afterwards you’ll respawn automatically.

During your playthrough you should also focus on unlocking as many kill related trophies as possible and upgrade your character regularly. Furthermore there are a few collectibles you need to pick up. Here I recommend using a guide and to get them in one playthrough. They’re needed to unlock 2 trophies and they’ll also power up your character, which is very helpful.

After you’ve finished the game simply hit CONTINUE and finish the first 3 levels. This should give you enough willpower to max out your character and to unlock the Platinum Trophy. To unlock all trophies you shouldn’t need more than 6-8 hours.

I haven’t followed the story in detail as I’ve skipped as many cut-scenes as possible but from what I’ve seen I can tell that it’s even worse than the movie. And the movie wasn’t any good at all. To be fair, this game is much better then Iron Man 2 but if you want to play a really good comic / movie game, I’d suggest you get yourself a copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

If you ever stumble across a cheap copy of the game and you want a quick and easy Platinum Trophy, you can buy this game. But I wouldn’t pay too much or expect a really good game. Furthermore you need to keep in mind that it’s a PS3 game and already a few years old. This means the graphics aren’t up to date (and have never been).

Platinum #173: Star Wars Battlefront

Hey there!

Finally, a long journey has come to an end. It took me more than 1 year and 7 months to finish Star Wars Battlefront. You can imagine how happy I’m that it’s finally over.

This game is a relic of my pre trophy hunting era. I didn’t care much about trophies and as a Star Wars fan I thought that I must get this game. The game wasn’t nearly as good as expected. There’re only a few offline missions and the online modes also got pretty boring soon. So I just unlocked a few random trophies and gave up the game quickly.

A few months later, when I was already into trophy hunting, I regret that I’ve ever bought this game. But I didn’t want to keep this game unfinished, as I knew that I could do it. Indeed, some of the missing trophies turned out that they aren’t that hard and unlock a few every now and then. When I was nearly done with the main game and most of the DLCs, it was time to grind up to level 100. A boosting session with using the droid run exploit and some double XP weekends helped a lot to shorten the time. When this was done I only had to beat the 4 survival missions on hard. And to be honest, these mission were actually really hard if you don’t know what to do and if you try them solo. So I started to read some strategies and played and completed Hoth as well as Tattoine in co-op. I completed Sullust and Endor solo and I must admit, I’m a little bit proud of this.

Endor was the last map and when I made it I couldn’t help myself and made a little victory dance in front of my TV. ;-)

If I wouldn’t have bought this game in my pre trophy hunting era, I’d never have touched this game. But now I must say that I’m very happy and proud to call this ultra-rare Platinum Trophy my own. And there’s also one thing I can tell for sure, I’m not going to buy Star Wars Battlefront 2 – unless the trophies are super easy of course. ;-)

Platinum #172: Iron Man 2

Hey there!

I bet none of the devs ever said: “We made a great game” when they released Iron Man 2 for PS3 back in 2010. This game is just one big joke. The gameplay, the graphics, the story, the (German) voice acting; simply everything is bad in this game. This is a typical game that has been released in addition to a movie to make some quick money.

Lucky you also unlock all trophies very quickly. The 8 missions are all very short and can hard mode is completely easy by using an exploit. Unfortunately it’s not enough to beat the game. You have to complete most of the missions with Iron Man and War Machine, which means you have to replay them at least once. And there’re also kill related trophies. You have to get 100 kills with every weapon but to be honest, kill grinding was actually the fun part in the game and can be completed quickly. You can easily unlock all trophies in 6-8 hours or less, if you’ve the patience to do so.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy Platinum Trophy, go and get another game. It’s not worth the time and money. There’re many games out there which are exactly that easy, but are for sure more fun. If you’d like to play an awesome comic / movie game, go and get yourself X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It’s harder but way better.

Platinum #171: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Hey there!

As a huge comic – and especially Wolverine – fan I was interested in playing this game since many years but it turned out that this game is hard to get in Austria. Finally I was able to pick up a copy of this game at a Gamestop.

When I started the game I was surprised by the graphics. Even the game has already been released in 2009, the graphics are still awesome. Especially the cutscenes look really great.

Storywise you’re loosely following the story of the movie. If the movie would’ve been as brutal as this game, it would have been a great movie. It’s exactly how a Wolverine game has to be. You don’t have to forget that he’s the best in what he does, and what he does isn’t very nice! ;-) So you’re fighting / killing your way through lots of enemies within the 5 chapters and take out some mini-bosses as well as some iconic Marvel characters. Even it’s just button smashing most of the time, it never got boring.

Thropywise you’ve to play through the game on normal and hard, max out your character, get some collectibles and kill lots of enemies in various ways. This doesn’t sound that bad but unfortunately there’s no NG+. This means that you have to beat the game on normal to unlock hard mode, do a lot of grinding, and afterwards you have beat game again. This time on hard. Luckily you’ll know most of the levels very well then, which means that you can ignore lots of enemies and just speed run through most of the sections. You can also skip all cutscenes now. All in all it will take approx. 20 hours to get the Platinum Trophy.

I can really recommend this game to any comic / hack and slash fans. You won’t be disappointed!

Platinum #169 & #170: Energy Cycle (PS4 EU & Vita EU Version)

Platinum #167 & #168: Demetrios (PS4 EU & NA Version)

Hey there!

Demetrios is a Point & Click game that has already been released for the Vita in December 2016. Now the developers have released 2 separate versions for the PS4. And the good thing is that they are cross-buy. This means that in case you’ve already played the Vita version, you’ll get the PS4 version for free! As I already got the Platinum Trophy in the Vita version, I was able to download the PS4 EU version without paying anything.

The game itself features hand drawn art (which looks really nice) and a good – and sometimes funny – story. Unless some other Point & Clicks I’ve played this one is very stable. It never crashed on me.

It’s best to use a guide when going for the Platinum Trophy. There are many miscellaneous trophies that can be missed and you also need to find all cookies and encounter all game over scenes in the game. The trophy “Mommy, I wanna stay at the funfair” is missing in the PS4 version. This comes quite in handy as you had to get 1,000 coins at the funfair, which has a boring and useless grind. The rest is still the same.

If you already own the Vita version, I highly suggest to get the PS4 version as well. It’s for free and can be completed quickly. Who doesn’t want to get some free trophies? Maybe you also want to get the other PS4 version as well, when it is on sale. You’ll really rush through your 3rd playthrough. I managed to beat the NA version in under 2 hours.

Below you can find a Platinum Walkthrough by IBadDriverI. If you’re playing the Vita version, don’t forget to get 1000 coins at the funfair. This is best being done by playing the horse race over and over again.

Yours,

Platinum #166: 涼風のメルト - days in the sanctuary -

Hey there!

Another very easy visual novel which can be completed in 1.5 hours.

At first you do a playthrough with one important choice where you need to save. From there you can load and unlock 3 additional endings. As soon as this is done, a new icon appears on the main menu. Click on and you have to do another 4 very short playthroughs without any choices. After this another icon will appear on the main menu. Click on it and do you final playthrough. There’re aren’t any choices and as soon as this is done the Platinum Trophy will be yours.

In my opinion this is a must-play game for trophy hunters. Not only it’s fast & easy, it also has only 12 trophies (11 Gold and 1 Platinum). Buy it whenever you have the chance to do so.

Yours,

AvengedEvil
