Let's talk Platinums

[Null]

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?

I sometimes use guides, it depends. Platinum time has no bearing on anything for me. I'll platinum a game if i really like it and enjoy it, so time sink is not an issue. If anything the longer it is the better.
