    Everybody has that one game that frustrates them and is beloved by everyone else except them. For me, its Bioshock Infinite. Columbia was nowhere near as interesting as Rapture nor was the gameplay and the removal of survival horror elements was a bad decision but thats besides the point. This is a good episode because its authentic and shows some journeys are not always about the victories.

    Adam I have been a fan from you since a few years back and been completely honest I am devastaded at it as well as you. It is not fair to enda for you like this, in some ways you have been a gaming role model for myself without you I haven't even attempt to go for hard platinums. I know it sucks right now, but maybe in the future you can make a redemption bonus episode of the platinum on this game. I just do not accept that one person that motivates me ends like this, if I have to motivate you to end it in the future I will. You are my hero man!

      Thank you. I'm okay. It is one thing to challenge yourself and overcome an obstacle, there is satisfaction to that. To get the platinum for this, I'd just have to do most of another playthrough on easy hunting collectibles...so boring. I can spend my time on better things. I'm okay moving on :)

    "Shut Up, Atreus!" was pretty much my mantra while playing Ragnarok, and I wasn't even trying for the Platinum. As far as I'm concerned you earned it and the game cheated you out of it. It's 100% BS and I don't blame you for noping out. Here's to the next one.

    I just wanted to comment and say this has to be one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Its oddly inspiring for me and made me seek out the platinum for mgs 4 myself which I achieved! This video perfectly shows how fun draining and miserable at times this trophy is to get along with having to do an extra playthrough because of human error (i also had to 😅) This is my favorite Metal Gear Solid which may be an unpopular opinion, but my love for this game, its story characters, and gameplay will stick with me for years to come. Thank you, Adam!

    Gutted for you with this one Adam. Don't blame you for not playing through again. As you've said you may end up hating it if you play anymore. Hopefully after giving it some time you'll want to go back to it (or maybe not 😂). The maze in the first one where you have to collect those Anchor of fogs (or whatever they're called 😅) almost broke me, so tedious. The maps in these games are abysmal. If developers insist on collectibles then they should be made as easy as possible. On another topic, knowing your love of Beyond good and evil, with the anniversary out now that contains a platinum, is there a chance that will sneaking into the schedule? Love this channel

    Bit of a downer episode. Gutted you didn't let the platinum. I suggest you return to it or play it on and off till you can get it, even if it's some years from now. However that was not the worse part of this video. That was how much you hated the story. My heart broke when you showed a quick scene of Faye and Kratos where she gives him the speach about love and greif and you just said "I don't care" 💔 It left me cold. Still onwards and upwards The Last Of Us awaitings.

      Yeah, real downer. Good advice. Ah, I just needed a clip of Kratos and Freya together and one of her separate from him. Visual representation of what I'm talking about, not what they are talking about. The speech is actually solid. Her parts with Kratos are what I liked most in the game.

    You might already know this Adam, but I'll mention it just in case, there was supposed to be a GOW Norse trilogy, but that would've taken them 15 years in total, and they didn't want that, so Ragnarok leans really heavily on cutscenes/story to make up for what would've been a 3rd game. I feel your pain with this game, as I've had a few glitches of my own, although not as bad yours. I enjoyed 2018 more. GOW 2018 (10/10) Ranarok (9/10) Highly recommend the DLC 'Valhalla'.

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott 7 днів тому

      I heard about it once being a trilogy. Makes sense now why there were so many cutscenes and many feeling way too long. They were trying to cram two games worth of story into one. Yep, I've played through all of Valhalla. Repetitive gameplay but interesting story.

    @hunterdoesgames3659 7 днів тому

    I do respect your opinion but I do heavily disagree. Not everything needs to be about Kratos. Maybe I only feel like this because I didn’t play the original trilogy so I don’t have as much of a connection with him as others do, but imo I feel like it’s ok to focus on other characters besides Kratos especially if they want to do a only arteus game in the future. It does suck you weren’t able to get it the platinum that really sucks. I am glad it didn’t bug for me cause when I got platinum I did it before you could skip cutscenes so it would have really sucked if that happened.

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott 7 днів тому

      That's okay. I respect your opinion too. It is fine to disagree, we all have out own viewpoint. Yeah, I grew up with Kratos and adore the original trilogy - the first game especially. Kratos is my hero and I'm mainly just interested in him. It is understandable for you not to have that type of connection and want to learn more about other characters too. Glad you enjoyed the game. The bugged trophy really sucked. Damn, didn't know you couldn't skip cutscenes at one point. Thank you for offering your opinion. Cheers!
