Would this game be a good place to start the series then? I know you recommended Yakuza 0 before (IIRC?) but this looks a bit more manageable for a first-timer

so, it depends. y0 was (and is) my recommended starting point for the series, although you could also go with yakuza kiwami 1 (a remake of the original first game in the series) or yakuza: like a dragon (the first game in the series with the new protagonist)
gaiden is a tricky place to start because it is very much a game for people who have played or at least have some knowledge of all of the kiryu games that came before it. for example there's an emotional payoff at the end that got me sobbing but it won't really have any weight if you haven't played yakuza 3. the end sequence of gaiden also spoils basically the entirety of yakuza: like a dragon, so if you ever wanna play that, i'd just keep that in mind

Finally got all of the GTA5 editor trophies. It's not a platinum, but I started from scratch a couple weeks ago so it took a WHILE to get here -- especially since I have been following a 100% guide and had a lot of diversions along the way. Now that the time sensitive stuff is out of the way I can chill a bit more. I plan on getting all of the gold medals on all missions at some point too, and doing the online trophies (which always suck ass).

Put me down for The Last of Us Part II Remastered. Not my proudest one (since it was an auto pop). There was only one DLC trophy that didn't auto pop and it was for beating the game with permadeath enabled. Obviously, I had planned to replay the game, so this isn't a terrible one to have missed, but permadeath is not my favourite setting (largely because there's an entire section of the game where it's very easy to fall down).
Even once I complete that, I have the No Return trophies to do before getting the 100%

One slight correction on mine: The Last of Us Part II Remastered should have a platinum only and not 100% (though you're probably just saving yourself time for the inevitable update in 1-2 weeksUpdated through here.
TD's list is absolutely going to capsize by the time he finishes the Pixel Remasters.

Nice!
I adore FF3, though obviously to date I've only played the 3D NDS remake. Thing is definitely hard quite often though, and the final dungeon in particular is a doozy if you aren't well prepared. Although... mayhaps that's mitigated, somewhat, pending what QoL options the Pixel Remasters have on offer.

Finally finished all trophies for Dead Space 3 and DLC. What a fucking slog. Getting platinum requires you beat the game four times. By the end of my second legitimate playthrough, I couldn't be arsed anymore and just blew through the game using an OP OHKO weapon you get from finishing the game.
Returning to **Resistance 3** to finish off my trophies there. After that, I'll probably 100% Heavenly Sword while my PS3 controllers are still semi-functional

Just plat'd A Short Hike. Wasn't expecting to enjoy myself because I finished Lil Gator Game not that long ago, and wasn't too impressed, and this one just seemed like a top-down version of that. I'm also not really a fan of games without fail states. But damn, it was actually really enjoyable. Movement and exploration was fun and rewarding, the characters and interactions were charming. Highly recommend this game if you need something chill to play.

I don't think I've got a platinum trophy yet. I don't have a large collection of games for the PS4, nor do I get a whole lot of time to myself to game like I used to.
If I did though, chances are I did it in Ghost of Tsushima. Gonna have to check it out tomorrow and see if I did. If not, I'll have to make it a mission to get it.

Much to my surprise, I was able to power through the remainder of the game yesterday. In total, it took me 32 hours for the platinum across 4 playthroughs. Only 3 are required, but my first one was just for the story. I do understand how to play the game now, but like with most games, this one gets more fun the more powerful you get. Once you have a ton of health and the best weapons/upgrades, it's way more fun to fight enemies. The harder difficulties are actually easier as a result.Put me down for Bayonetta. More thoughts incoming tomorrow once I've had some sleep
I definitely wouldn't recommend this one unless you have some burning need to try out the game. Neither the campaign nor the platinum are particularly fun.
I have some friends coming over later today to help me with Call of Duty WWII. The only remaining trophies I've had for months are the zombies ones - we used to play zombies a ton growing up, but the Easter Eggs are more complicated than ever, and it's tough to find randoms online who know what they're doing (not that I do either). I don't think I'll get the platinum today, but if we somehow accomplish both of the Easter Eggs, I might be able to get the remaining trophies by myself.

1 more platinum for me: Dragon Age Inquisition. My game says I've put in about 95 hours. It can definitely be done in less than that. That time includes completing all 3 DLC (though I still have some trophies left in the last DLC). Also, you can beat the game in one play through instead of doing two. I would guess if you are insanely good, you could get the platinum in 50-60 hours.

Looking at the trophies you have left - you should definitely do it. The slaying 10 dragons won't take too long on your existing file, and then beating the game on nightmare is vastly overstated in difficulty. The PSN Profiles guide gives the platinum a difficulty of 8/10 - I would say it's a 4 or 5 out of 10 at best. I don't know if I even died 10 times on my nightmare play through.
Also, I personally got nothing from the story, so I had no problem skipping through all the dialogue/cutscenes on my nightmare play through. That would save you hours if you choose to do the same.

Let me know if you decide to try it. I'll give you a more detailed write-up on how to make it easier.
Oof that sucks. I was thinking about going for GTA 5 next, so that is not encouraging.

Regrettably I bought GTA IV on Xbox 360 and I don't own a PS3. As far as I know, there's no way to play it on PS4 or 5?Go for GTA4 instead so we can do the Auf Wiedersehen trophies together
Seems like most of the achievements I was missing were online ones, so I feel your pain.

This can now be upgraded to 100%. Final time was 107 hours. The DLC is an absolute slog, although there are ways to make it more efficient than I did.

Just completed: Forspoken. It took me 37.5 hours total. It actually took longer to do all the clean-up of collectibles than it did to beat the game. You could stretch out the story, but all you'd be doing is front loading some of the collectibles. I didn't mind because the game play is pretty fun, so it was easy to throw on a podcast or album and just zone out.

I'm on the last trophy I need for 100% GTA4 completion and holy shit is it annoying. You have to score 100% in every mission in GTA4: TBoGT. Each mission has objectives like speedrunning it, accuracy, # of headshots, etc. Mercifully you don't have to get them all in one go, but you will still find yourself replaying missions over and over and over again just to get one obnoxious goal. Most of the missions are just obnoxious, but one in specific is downright demonic.
No. 3 has you racing extremely fast cars with bad traction on an extremely narrow path (smaller than a one-lane road) around blind turns that can have you flying into the water. Pop-in occurs with items that can get under your tires and send your car careening out of control. At the end, you have to nail 4 jumps in a row in order to pass the mission, and if you hit them the wrong way, or too fast, or too slow, or even just if the physics decide to be a cunt, you can fail. There's also a section with a forced perspective along a narrow trash-littered path that completely fucks with your orientation and can fuck you up too. Oh, and if the timed objective isn't difficult enough, you have to stay close enough to the lead car the entire driving segment. You can't get into a single accident. There's no great indication of when you failed this objective. Just gotta complete the mission and find out.
The person who designed this requirement was fucking unhinged.

Just got the platinum for Assassin's Creed: Origins today. I must admit that I found a strong parallel to Forspoken as far as getting the platinum goes. At least half of the time is spent just cleaning up random POIs. Granted, the map in this game is much denser, but it doesn't change the fact that the requirements for the plat are quite repetitive.
The strange thing is that there are tons of side quests and the platinum requires barely any of them. You'd think they'd encourage you to play the more creative parts of the game rather than clearing the same camps over and over again.
I'm going to start on the DLC later this weekend.

Apologies for, uh, how long it's been since I actually looked at the thread last. This has been an... interesting month. 
But, I have a brief little staycation goin' on so yay freedom. Also, yay actually playing a non-MMO video game again.
#12 - Drakengard 3 [PS3]
Bought the game Day 1 back in 2014 because I really, super adored NieR. But it's me - I was heavy into FF11 at the time, and then got into FF14 soon thereafter, so didn't actually fire the game up 2018. Played through the game until right before the true ending, and it's... like, not a good game. At all. Everything about it is janky (in a bad way!), framerate is horrible, hit detection is questionable. However, if you have an extremely juvenile sense of humor my god is this the game for you. Just wall-to-wall dick, sex and fart jokes. Every single character is an over-the-top horny specimen with what can best be described as, uh, an obsession with their particular kink.
...They did very much forget to actually add in a fully coherent story, though. Like nobody really gets any proper character development, the narrative itself is immensely confusing even if you know all of D1 and NieR's lore, and as mentioned the game is just... not good. And then, uh, that true ending. D3 is one of the only games I have ever hard dropped before finishing, and that's because Ending D is a fucking travesty. I've ranted about it a couple of times over the last year, and you can look it up pretty easily if you're curious, but... yeah. Dropped the game in April 2018, didn't pick it back up and finish Ending D until January 2019, proceeded to immediately drop the game again after. But gone back and knocked out all of the DLC and the long, obnoxious grind to fully upgrade weapons - and now it's done and dusted forever.
DLC is usually the worst part, too. But fingers crossed it's not too bad!

Fuckin' madlad, yo. The amount of random bullshit GTA4 expects is honestly pretty crazy!
This is strangely the case with a lot of AC games, and... it's sort of a mixed bag IMO. Like on the one hand they should definitely have stopped with the obnoxious "clean up the map" style achievements after the very first game, particularly if other parts of the game are better and the player experience would benefit more from doing those instead. On the other hand, it's kind of nice not having to do literally everything for the Plat/comp if it's not your jam. Which, I suspect, will be especially true whenever it comes time to handle Odyssey and Valhalla.

GTA5 is worse but at least it's more fun.
The online stuff get munch a butt, though. It sucks having to coordinate with and depend on up to three other players to get a single trophy -- while also hoping that said trophy doesn't bug out and not pop for no reason at all.

AC: Origins can be upgraded to 100% Took just under 55 hours to get the platinum and beat all 3 DLC packs.
The DLC was fine - two of the three packs were more of the same. The other one was like a walking history simulator of ancient Egypt, but I must admit that I just skipped as much of this as I could because it was not for me.
