After about 14 playthroughs, it is done

[NateDog]

A diabolical achievement by all accounts. Requiring minimum 8 playthroughs and even then only if you are dedicating each one of those to a specific task; one playthrough needing to be 35+ hours; not allowing you to import previous save data from before the introduction of Playstation Trophies (so you can enjoy getting the Big Boss emblem a second time); enduring tailing that idiot in Act 3 again and again and again with no real way to speed him up.

On the plus side, if anyone needs any speedrunning tips I'm right here. I will assume that Konami will make the platinum on the Vol. 2 Collection much easier to obtain, although I'm going to completely ignore any trophies for that regardless.
