Death Stranding

Death Stranding is an action game designed by Kojima Productions, and is the first game by Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, since leaving Konami in 2015. Set in an open-world post-apocalyptic United States in which creatures roam the Earth, players control a courier who must deliver supplies to isolated colonies and reconnect their communications network.

Freelance courier Sam Porter Bridges, played by actor Normal Reedus, sets off on a quest to help humanity which is close to extinction by journeying across the continent and reconnect colonies while avoiding the spectral creatures that roam the world.

Death Stranding received positive reviews with an average score of 82%, and won several Game Awards, praised for its music, voice acting, graphics, and creative concept, while criticized by some for its repetitiveness and added details which some critics found more frustrating than fun.

The Platinum for Death Stranding is not particularly difficult, but very time consuming with a lot of grinding, hence the 3-star difficulty. There are no missable trophies to worry about, as the game allows for a post-game play in which all outstanding trophies can be mopped-up. There are technically six online trophies, though these merely require online connectivity as you play single-player. Only the Growth Of A Legend trophy requires 20 deliveries to be made on Hard difficulty, though this can be done anytime in post-game, which means the story can be played on the easiest setting.

Expect anywhere around 100 hours for the Platinum depending on how you play the game, whether you are exploring and taking your time, or rushing through.

There are no missable trophies to worry about, so you can begin by simply playing through the story and enjoying it. You can switch the difficulty mode at anytime. There is only one trophy, Growth Of A Legend, which requires you to make 20 deliveries on Premium difficulty, though this can be easily be done in post-game. As a result, feel free to play the game on its easiest difficulty mode.

Keep in mind that there are six trophies which require you to be connected online as you play through the game. Also, avoid using lethal weapons on any NPCs or MULEs, as a “voidout” will occur if the body is left to decompose over three days.

By the time you complete the story, you will have unlocked a massive chunk of the trophies.

After the credits, you will enter a post-game mode. Here is where you will want to change the difficulty mode to Hard in order to get S ranking on 20 Premium Deliveries for the Growth Of A Legend trophy. Work on getting all Facilities to 5 Stars, reach at least Grade 60 in all delivery evaluation categories, collect all Memory Chips, fabricate all available items, as well as build and fully upgrade all structures. If you feel this will take a lot of time, that is because it will. Expect to put in more hours in the post-game play than in completing the story.

Once those objectives are complete, simply mop up any miscellaneous trophies you may still have outstanding. Be sure to check out the Death Stranding trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what trophies you are still missing and their requirements.

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain Trophy Guide PS4

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A third-person action adventure with stealth elements, and the ninth title in the Metal Gear Solid series. While the difficulty is arguably average, the Platinum demands over 150 hours of gameplay.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a third-person action-adventure with stealth elements, is the ninth installment in the Metal Gear Solid series, and takes place after the stand-alone prologue, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The game takes place in an open-world environment, sneaking around guards, moving across the terrain either on foot, horseback, or by vehicles, and possesses a base-building system that allows for developing weapons and items.

Nine years following the events of Ground Zeroes, Big Boss has awakened from his coma and is now leading the Diamond Dogs, a new mercenary group. Meanwhile, Venom Snake heads to war-torn Afghanistan to seek those responsible for the destruction of MSF, while uncovering a plan by the Patriots to develop a new Metal Gear system.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain received high praise with an average score of 95%, praised for its visuals, creativity in gameplay, storyline, and overall excitement.

The game is fairly average in terms of difficulty. However, the time required brings this difficulty rating up to a 3-star. Several missions will need to be replayed several times in order to acquire S ranks in each. Also, there's quite a lot to keep you busy, including completing all the Side Ops and finding every collectible. There are 3 online trophies, however they can be played in solo and merely require an internet connection. While arguably one of the easier games in the Metal Gear Solid series, The Phantom Pain will still monopolize much of your time in order to unlock that Platinum.

Expect well over 150 hours on this one.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3.

There are no missable trophies, so we recommend simply playing through the game and enjoying the story.

Once you've enjoyed your run, it's time to get busy. The next step is to replay missions and obtain S ranks. Doing so will unlock the Executed trophy for completing all mission tasks, and the Elite trophy for getting S rank, as well as a few others along the way. This may sound easier said than done, so check out some of the guides under our Links tab if you're having trouble. Expect to replay some of these missions two to four times.

After all that, it's time to mop-up what's left. This includes completing all the Side Ops, as well as developing weapons and items for the Locked And Loaded trophy, and extracting all wild animal species for the Conservation trophy. Check out the Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're still missing and their requirements.

Good luck!

Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Guide

Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ****  The stealth series continues in this chronological sequel to Metal Gear Solid 2. The game was released in 2008, but added with trophy support in 2012. Requires a minimum of 8 playthroughs for the Platinum trophy.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is the sixth MGS title directed by Hideo Kojima, and the chronological sequel to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of the Liberty, taking place five years after. Guns of the Patriots was released world-wide in June of 2008, but was updated with a trophy patch in August 2012.

Set in 2014, Snake is suffering from Werner's Syndrome, resulting in accelerated aging and allowing only a year left to live. For his "final mission," he accepts a job from Colonel Roy Campbell, now working for the UN, to infiltrate Liquid's army camp in the Middle East to assassinate him.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots received high praise by nearly all online gaming critics, with an average score of 96% for its innovative gameplay, fantastic graphics and presentation, and clever story.

If you thought the previous HD Metal Gear Solid games were long and challenging for the platinum, Guns of the Patriots takes the cake. You will need to do a minimum of 8 playthroughs, and that's provided you managed to achieve your trophy-hunting and emblem-hunting goals in each. If you make a mistake, expect to do a ninth or tenth playthrough.

This 4-star rating is based on both time consumption (nearly 100 hours of gameplay) as well as skills involved.

There's no way getting around having to do 8 playthroughs, as you need to fulfill certain requirements to collect all the emblems. However, if you play your cards right, you can avoid having to perform more than eight. The game also includes a number of missable trophies you'll need to collect along the way - just make sure you've obtained them all at some point during your eight playthroughs. Check out the Metal Gear Solid 4 trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details.

NOTE: The trophies are not retroactive, which means if you've played and completed the game BEFORE the August 2012 trophy patch, you will not automatically acquire any trophies.

On your first playthrough, select Liquid Snake difficulty, and focus on acquiring The Chicken emblem. This includes having to play the game a total of 35 hours minimum, which makes this run an excellent opportunity to acquire the majority of the missable trophies, such as the "Doll" trophies, Flashback Mania, Sunlight!, Ghost Photophraph Addict, Crop Circle, and many others. By the end of this run, you should have hopefully 22 of the emblems collected. Check out the walkthroughs in our Links page for further details. Also, after having acquired The Chicken emblem, you will have obtained the Corpse Camo, which is necessary in the next step.

For your second playthrough, aim for the Assassin and Tarantula emblems. By the end of this run, you should also be able to obtain the Divine Wind and the I Just Don't Fear Death trophies.

Next, play the game four more times to acquire the next four emblems: Spider, Centipede, Leopard, and Jaguar. Also, use this opportunity to collect any other missable trophies you may have missed earlier. This includes the Infinite Ammo, Stealth Camouflage, and the I Am THE Expert On Weapons trophies.

Now, for the toughest part of the game, you'll be playing your seventh playthrough to acquire the Big Boss emblem. This will also unlock another 9 emblems, such as Hound, FoxHound, Fox, Raven, Pigeon, Wolf, Octopus, Mantis, and Scorpion, for a current total of 38 emblems.

Finally, load up your eighth and final playthrough, to acquire the remaining 2 emblems: Panther and Little Gray. After this, you should acquire the Sounds Of The Battlefield trophy, along with the Platinum.

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Trophy Guide

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A revamp of the original stealth game released in 2010 on the PlayStation Portable. The Platinum requires a lot of time and grinding.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth game, first released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010, then re-released for the PlayStation 3 with trophy support as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection in 2011.

Set in Costa Rica in November 1974, ten years after Snake Eater, Snake has left The Patriots group and is now leading his own band of mercenaries called the Militaires Sans Frontieres, attempting to stop a secret organization from putting into use their latest weapon, called the Peace Sentinels. The game features two main modes, Mission which are story-based and include side-missions, and Mother Base in which players manage and simulate the missions. A multiplayer function is also included.

The 2010 PSP version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker received high praise, with an average score of 91% for its fascinating complexity despite being designed for a portable game console.

While a few trophies can get frustrating, the main reason for this 3-star rating is in the time required for the platinum. After completing one thorough playthrough, you will need to grind several missions over and over to collect staff and gear, as well as gain S-ratings. In addition to all this, there are a few online trophies to worry about as well.

Overall, expect to put in around 80-100 hours of gaming for this Platinum.

There's a lot to do here, so the first thing is to go through the Main Ops which focuses on the story-baed aspect of the game. Unfortunately, this is the easiest part of working towards that Platinum.

Once you've finished, you will need to go through the Extra Ops. Here, you'll want to collect staff members to help you through the Outer Ops missions, as well as unlock advanced gear which you'll need to acquire S-Ranks in missions. Overall, there are 32 Main Ops and 128 Extra Ops to grind through.

Once that hard part is done, there are three remaining online trophies to acquire: Trader, Versus Ops All Rules, and Vic Vos. Luckily, after having finished all the Ops grinding, these three online trophies should feel quite easy in comparison.
