-- Version: PS3 ;; Platinum Date: 2/23/16 7:19 PM -- Another game that's not hard to plat, but it's a test of patience because you have to play through it three times and it's not a very good game. I only played this game to get one trophy though, and it wasn't the Plat. It was the one called 2112. As you can probably tell from my profile page, I love Rush. I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuge fan. So even though I knew the game wouldn't be very good, I had to play it just to get this trophy. Props to the devs for the Rush reference though. I wonder if they're Canadian?
-- Version: PS4 ;; Platinum Date: 2/10/16 11:31 PM -- Not a tough game to platinum at all, but it is a bit time consuming. It'll take about 35-40 hours for the Definitive Edition. Most all of the trophies are straightforward, but there is one which warrants mention: Pure Gold (Gold) This requires you to get 30 gold stat awards, which is pretty easy to do for about 29 of them. (There are 33 in the Definitive Ed.) The most difficult one to achieve gold level on is the second one on the list, Fluid Striker. You are required to get 50 free running kills, which isn't easy simply because there aren't many opportunities in the game to do them. However! I found a quick and easy way to get them, and it's actually done in one of the mini story add-ons: The Zodiac Tournament. One of the first missions you do in the Zodiac Tournament has you fighting some guys in an arena with a bunch of fire traps around the circumference and a fire pillar in the middle. This middle fire pillar is the key to getting your Fluid Striker gold stat award. All you need to do is position yourself so that you are on one side of the pillar and an enemy is directly in front of you on the opposite side of the pillar; that is to say, the pillar separates you. Now simply run towards the pillar while holding X and Wei should vault over it towards the enemy on the other side, hopefully kicking him in the process. Each kick kills an enemy, so you'll have to redo this mission a few times to get enough kills for the stat award. But this method is much, much faster then any other methods on the mainland, IMO. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to line up enemies properly because they're always moving, but just keep at it and you'll get it. In general try to get all the enemies around the central pillar and vault over it repeatedly, chances are you'll hit someone.
-- Version: PS3 ;; Platinum Date: 1/26/16 12:18 AM -- After playing Darksiders 2, I wanted to go back and play the original - even though I've already completed it on 360 when it came out. About halfway through, I regretted this decision. After playing the sequel, the original doesn't hold up very well. It's very rough around the edges and a lot of the trophies are grindfests. The absolute worst one is "Aerial Predator." Fuck that trophy.
-- Version: PS4 ;; Platinum Date: 1/20/16 4:38 PM -- FINALLY!! After four years, I've finally finished Darksiders 2!! I bought it when it came out on 360, but only got about 1/4th through. I went back to it about a year and a half later and restarted, only to stop at about the same point. But finally, after getting the HD remake for PS4, I've completed it! Turns out it was a lot longer then I was expecting! It's probably a bit too long for its own good, actually. None of the trophies are all that hard, but there's a ton of collectibles with trophies tied to them. Most all of the trophies can be acquired by simply playing the game, but as I said - the game is pretty damn long. I actually played it twice; once on Apocalyptic and again on Deathinitive (stupid name) NGP. I wish I had played Deathinitive from the start though, because it wasn't harder at all - and honestly, after about halfway you can build yourself damn near immortal if you get a good possessed weapon with life leech and wrath leech - which isn't hard to do if you save all the ones you find. And the crucible trophy is simple with this build, but you can just as easily do it on easy - it's not tied to a difficulty. So yeah, not a hard plat by any means, just takes a bit of time. I finished after about 70hrs, and that's with two complete playthroughs.
-- Version: PS3 ;; Platinum Date: 1/11/16 12:02 AM -- I finished playing this game a few years ago, but left it with two trophies remaining - "The House of Luthor" and "Lantern's Green Light." I went back and got those without much hassle. I thought I'd need to play the story mode all the way back to the fight with Sinestro again to get the Lantern trophy, but no. You can simply use two controllers and have player one be Green Lantern and player two Sinestro, then simply kill him.
-- Version: PS3 ;; Platinum Date: 1/8/16 11:55 PM -- Technically there is no platinum, but I got them all.
-- Version: PS4 ;; Platinum Date: 1/6/16 1:06 AM -- It's an easy game to Plat (pun intended) save for two sections: Chapter 5 on Extreme and Pro-Bending League on Ace. That is to say "Extreme Avatar" and "The Fire Ferrets Strike Again!" Getting through Chapter 5 on extreme was a massive test of patience. It's really hard at first, and really the only way you'll ever get through it is by repetition. I tried for over an hour and got it on my last try, before I was about to give up. Getting through Pro-Bending on Ace is less about skill and more about luck - though there is a luck factor in the previous trophy as well. The first three matches aren't too bad, if you're lucky with the teams you face. The last two can range from pretty hard to impossible depending on who you faced in the previous three. If you're unlucky like me, and you get the Rabaroos for your last match, save yourself the time and just start over because you will never beat them. I spent over an hour on this one match getting absolutely destroyed by those fuckers. I don't know if it's for story reasons that I'm unfamiliar with, but that team is much more powerful then all the others you face. When I restarted I faced them in match 2 and they were significantly harder then the team I faced on round two of my first play through. Unfortunately, the luck factor also comes in to play with your two AI teammates. Sometimes they do really well, countering and dodging at least as aptly as the opposing team, and other times they may as well be standing still because they get knocked back so often it's ridiculous. I had one guy get knocked back from the starting position all the way out of the ring while me and the other guy remained in the starting zone. Truly wondrous AI programming. Those two trophies will be hard-won but the rest are easy. You may need to do some minor farming for a few others, but nothing crazy. It's a pretty short game.
-- Version: PS4 ;; Platinum Date: 1/4/16 12:06 AM -- Most of these are much easier to do once you get yourself a good SS weapon and upgrade it a bit. After doing that, it's pretty easy to kill most of the bosses without getting hit by simple virtue of you doing so much damage they don't have much opportunity to hit you. The hardest trophy to get is called "Platinum" and no, it's not THE platinum trophy. It's difficult to get because the scoring system in this game is really stupid. There are no bonuses whatsoever for doing combos like most games, and your time and damage (taken, not given) bonuses are capped at 200 - which is very low. Basically the only way to get SS ranks in combat missions is by farming headshots with low damage weapons, or by spamming vehicle rush attacks. Oh, and you won't know your rank for each combat section until after the battle; and if you don't get a high enough rank, guess what? Fuck you, we auto save after every battle. Guess you're doing the entire chapter over again. Now there is a workaround involving a usb flash drive, and it's pretty much the only method to use if you value your sanity. But even that requires you to close the game, copy the save data over and relaunch the game after every single battle mission. A process that gets old very quickly, especially considering Chapter One alone has 16 battle missions. Have fun with that. There's a reason 0.1% of players have the Platinum for this game. Mostly because no one played it, but that trophy is still a bitch and a half! More like a bitch and 3/4. Actually, let's just say two. It's two whole bitches.

-- Version: PS3 ;; Platinum Date: 11/14/15 11:50 PM -- Not hard to plat, just time consuming. You'll probably need a guide for "The Hero" though, just because it's so easy to mess it up. I played over 350hrs of this game. Mostly because I liked it.
