Good day. My identify is Stephen Tailby, and I’m positive, thanks.
Welcome to a brand new characteristic on Push Sq., during which I recount each recreation I’ve platinumed. It is a verb now, alright? “You gonna platinum Balatro, mate?*” It is a verb, and it is all good. We have to make peace with this now, as a result of it is gonna make issues simpler in the long term.
I’ve platinumed dozens of video games throughout PS5 and PS4, and I am unable to determine if I am completely happy about that or not. I feel it modifications on occasion; there have been durations during which I’ve gone critically out of my strategy to obtain a platinum Trophy, and others the place I do not give the rattling issues a second thought.
This characteristic will permit me to mirror on each recreation I’ve cared to platinum, and I’ve but to work out if that is value doing, or entertaining in any method.
On the very least, it may be enjoyable, and the potential for enjoyable is what all of us purchase into after we take an opportunity on a brand new recreation, proper? Am I likening this characteristic to a online game? In a way. Each are doubtlessly enjoyable.
Anyway, here is the primary situation of Going Platinum. If you happen to prefer it, please let me know, and in case you do not, nicely, I imply you possibly can let me know as nicely, however simply be good about it.

Platinum Trophy #1: Rocket League
Date Earned: eleventh November 2015
Dopamine Index:
For the longest time — by which I suppose I imply the seven years between their introduction and me incomes this platinum — I did not give one solitary honk about Trophies.
Making their debut in 2008 on PS3, on the time I most likely thought they have been kinda dumb, and let’s be sincere, they’re.
I imply, they’re enjoyable to gather, however their sole goal is to maintain you enjoying, and to maintain you enjoying on PlayStation particularly.
If you happen to take a look at it that method, all you are actually doing by amassing Trophies is preserving Hermen Hulst completely happy. He needs consumer retention to go up, identical to all the opposite numbers on his fancy charts.
He and all these large execs on the high, quaffing champagne from Trophy-shaped chalices and laughing as you earnestly try Fall Guys’ ‘Infallible’ Trophy for the 286th time. That is it, maintain enjoying, they suppose, a pale Harmony standee wilted within the nook.
Sorry. What I used to be making an attempt to say is that I did not care about amassing Trophies one bit — till I bought my first metallic style of a platinum. Rocket League was my very first, and what a blast it was to get it.
I feel an necessary motive why I look again on this platinum Trophy so fondly is as a result of I wasn’t actually making an attempt to get it. I simply loved enjoying the sport a lot that I bought 99% of the bottom Trophy set from pure, pure enjoyable.
I performed that dumb soc-car recreation alone, with pals, for 10 minutes or three hours, slowly getting higher however by no means making it greater than only a pastime. I do suppose there was a second after I realised how shut I used to be to the platinum, and thought it would be cool to get it for this recreation I am having fun with a lot, however that is about so far as it went.
That is my favorite sort of platinum, and it is one thing I will most likely say many instances as these go on — ones unlocked by a sheer love of the sport, no matter it’s.
Rocket League has modified loads since I used to be actively enjoying, however I’ve little question that I would have a great time with it if I booted it up proper now.
Cheers, Rocket League.
