Platinum #98: Grid Legends. Should probably be called Grind Legends.

@BeerIsAwesome Congrats, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Grid Legends.
As for the grind it has been worse as @sorteddan will testify, I think EA were trying to sell you that 79p dlc which cuts the grind...Glad you didn't give in as it only encourages them.

@CaptD Thanks muchly. According to my PS5's play time, I've put precisely 100 hours into it. Though certain parts of that were trying to get through certain sponsor objectives without realizing I could've just done it via the career. I definitely enjoyed it regardless of the grind. It somehow just didn't feel as repetitive as it could've.

@BeerIsAwesome Wow my playtime was substantially less than that, around 40-50 I think but I was aware of certain gotchas before I started, mainly driving Ferrari whenever possible. However I did grind on the oval circuit quite a bit for a few cars plus I would often change my car when I reached whatever grind limit I required. Plus I think there are races in the lower classes that you don't need to complete, I avoided a few disciplines that I didn't enjoy.

As a footnote, I remember seeing a thread on psnprofiles where people were discussing their playtimes and there was quite the disparity.

@CaptD I completed every event on every tier, so it explains why mine was twice yours. But that was because I wanted to do them. Maybe not get the mileage tiers on every car, but at least play with as much of it as possible.

My playtime in games is weird. I can play games thinking I've played them for hours on end, and then when I get to completion, it's only like 20 hours. Arcade Paradise is a perfect example of that. At the opposite side of the spectrum is 2 MMOs (DC Universe Online and Star Trek Online) and Genshin Impact, all of which I have over 200 hours in. Genshin I have close to 500 hours in.

Congratulations on #98
That hundredth almost in sight, depends on what games you've got coming up.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and is definitely one I hope to get around to in the next couple of months.
Hopefully will take me considerably less time than you though!

@CaptD
Testify brother! I'm going all out head down grind mode for the next few days as I've had enough! Already done 500 miles today and hope to reach 20,000 miles shortly. Want it done within the week.

Nice one @BeerIsAwesome. Planning anything special for the 100th?

I was pondering giving Grid:Legends a go sometime soon but if there is a lot of grind I might skip it.

@sorteddan Thank you. 😊 I actually had a plan at 96 platinums for Uncharted 4 to be the big one, since Uncharted was my first trophy back on the PS3 on an old profile. But then I accidentally got 97, so that plan changed. I could probably list all my platinums, but I must warn everybody that at least 4 of them involve a jar of mayonnaise. 😅

Grid Legends is fun, simple as that. I'm a completionist, and most of what I did is irrelevant. I completed all the sponsor objectives, for example, but only about 5 of them are attached to trophies.

@BearsEatBeets Sorry, didn't see this when I replied. And thanks. After the Uncharted plan fell through from getting too many platinums 😅, I decided to go all the way back to the beginning and go for the franchise based on the first videogame I ever owned, which was Sonic 3 on the Mega Drive. It's no secret around these parts that I've been doing a marathon of the franchise, so it's going to culminate in the Sonic Frontiers platinum. I'm way too sentimental a gamer.

@BeerIsAwesome congrats bud, always nice to finish off a grindy plat and look to pastures new. Good luck with what I hope will be a memorable big 100!

Thank you all. I am quietly considering what the next plat shall be. I'm two trophies from the Genshin Impact plat, but I don't have the power to take on the highest levels of the Spiral Abyss just yet, which is where my last two trophies lie. Which means I need to do a few weeks worth of farming.

I also don't have plats in some easy to plat games, such as inFamous 1 and 2, Ghost Of Tsushima, Uncharted and it's sequels, but those will all take time to do. Hmm. 🤔
