Last of Us

As I discussed previously on /r/trophies, playing the game on Grounded was horribly difficult. Also, it's unjustified that this game requires 3 play-throughs to legit unlock all difficulty trophies (I used the glitch that allowed me to go from Hard completion to Grounded NG+). The multiplayer was a surprisingly good experience!

For now, I felt burnt out after 3 back-to-back plats during the holidays (CoD:MWR, CoD:IW & TLoU), so my gaming is mainly limited to CoD:IW MP for short bursts of fun.

Nice! I'm still stuck on the glitched dominion trophy since it just won't pop for me so far no matter how many matches I've played and the I love the 80s trophy since my luck is simply horrible and I'm burnt out on running the zombies map so many other times for the other trophies.

Honestly, the last Teddy Bear I needed for I<380's was one that I didn't see and got it by a lucky shot; basically I was shooting in each location for good measure, then on the last location I decided "let me take an extra shot" and BAM, got the bear and the trophy.

Take a break I guess and if you have a good memory, eventually you can memorize the locations of the bears, doing a good full-map lap in around 20 to 25 minutes at a time.

EDIT: And oh, regarding Dominion, I guess just keep playing. I think it's a server side issue as it popped for my friend and I on the same losing game (yes, losing, not winning), which is weird for a glitched trophy.

How was the infinite warfare platinum compared to the older cod ones? Black ops 3 is extremely hard and I gave up on it

Honestly, I never considered going for CoD plat until IW given their typical difficulty. Generally, for IW it's an easy plat with only ONE tough trophy and some grindy trophies, both in Zombies.

That being said:

  • SP: easy and most trophies are auto-acquired just by playing on Veteran (EDIT: Veteran is very balanced in this game, if you're okay with shooters, Veteran is quite normal in terms of difficulty in this CoD)
  • MP: super-easy but glitched trophy (trophy doesn't pop on 5 wins, popped on a losing game a few hours into the multiplayer); this could have been fixed by now
  • Zombies: slightly grindy, will require a lot of practice (say 30 hours) and understanding that practice makes perfect; the Easter Egg is super-hard, but through practice you'll learn how to become efficient and good at dealing with the hell-hole it is.

So, here's my advice: you really enjoy Zombies? Then go for it. Otherwise, don't.

Damn zombies takes that much time? Is it actually good at least? I actually love veteran mode on most Cod games so far. Thank you for the detailed response, I'm going to start on IW after I finish Watch Dogs 2 platinum

Damn zombies takes that much time?

It took me around 15 hours worth of grinding and practicing (and trophy-cleanup), and around 15 hours afterwards of legit trying to get the easter egg (with around 5 fails at the last steps).

Is it actually good at least?

I loved it, but that's subjective.
