Let's talk Platinums

[NateDog]

Question for people who get platinum. Do you guys just use guides or try to figure it out yourselves? And does the time it takes to platinum something affect your wanting to platinum?

My opinion isn't probably what you're looking for as I'm not a trophy hunter usually, but my last two have been huge timesinks. MGS4 I kind of just wanted to do to say I did it, would never do it again. But FFVII Rebirth I loved so like Henry, the time wasn't a consideration, I loved almost everything in the game to do it.

Most I've done needed guides to an extent, Clair Obscur probably an exception. But I try to avoid them. Plus any action RPGs I find guides can only get you so far, stuff like Rebirth or KH2 have lots of battles that require a lot of skill and ability to adapt. You can try do exactly as someone on a video does but at high difficulty levels with deep combat systems it's basically impossible that a fight will go exactly as you want it to
