First Platinum - Demon's Souls or God of War?

OK, I got my PS3 late last year and have now got a fair few games for it. I was wondering which you guys think would be the better game to try and get a Platinum on first. Main two I've been thinking of which I have are Demon's Souls and God of War III (getting UTE tomorrow)... Which do you think would be more fitting to try and Platinum first? :)

Thanks!

Demon's Souls would be more impressive in my opinion. You're just chatting it up with friends. "What was your first Platinum?" "Oh, inFamous! It was kinda hard in spots, but I got it." "What about you?" "Resident Evil 5! Yeah, it had a few tricky spots." "How about you?" "Demon's Souls."

"Dude, you know there are easier games, right?" :P

Lol, that'd be pretty cool actually. :P

I'd be looking at about three playthroughs, right?

Yes sir. That game is on my list to pick up and subsequently Platinum as well as other notably hard to Platinum games like Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. I like a challenge. :P

It's my first platinum, too. But it's not hard at all. It was pretty easy for me.

Now, TC, I have not played Demon's Souls, but I think GOW3 platinum is quite easy. Anyway, it's your decision.

That Hakoom guy (most Plats in the world) Platinumed it the day it came out (aka YESTERDAY). :|

It makes me wonder if he even takes the time to enjoy the games he plays.

I don't know, man. But he did it. Check it:

Hakoom's GOWIII Trophy List

Be warned; possible spoilers.

Wait a second, am i seeing this correctly.....GoW3 platinum only requires you to be it on the 2nd hardest difficulty (Titan....trophy name is "Unhuman"). I dont see any trophy for Chaos difficulty.

On topic though, the demons souls one requires many playthroughs as far as i've read to collect all the weapons, so it would seem that it is the more difficult one.....ESPECIALLY if that is true about Chaos difficulty.

I dont want to click on the the trophy list link because of spoilers. Can someone tell me if Chaos difficulty is one of the 'secret' trophies? That would be very strange if it was, not much 'secret' or 'spoileres' about that.

I've been playing Demon's Souls for about 45 hours, and only have a hand full of trophies unlocked so far. so i'd say it's the harder of the two get a platinum trophie, but it's completely doable. i'm not gonna touch another game for a long while since i'm enjoying DS's so much right now. do what you want, but be prepared to put some time in on DS's if your trying to get a platinum in it.

Lol, that'd be pretty cool actually. :P

Up to you lol

I managed to get my platinum trophy in Demon's Souls last week. I'll be honest and say that the hardest part about getting the platinum is that it's just extremely time-consuming. If you do go for it, you'll probably end up spending a majority of your time farming the stones necessary to get the "Best Weapon by _____stone" trophies.

I haven't played all the way through God of War III yet, but I'm sure that it will be vastly easier than Demon's Souls. So, unless you have a LOT of time to kill, I'd say focus on getting platinum in GoWIII.

Try to get a Platinum on? Well I would say God of War

Demon Souls is one of the few games where the Platinum actually means something.. it means you've reached a level of Epic that very few have.. its crazy hard!PoisoN_Facecam0

The COD trophies...those are for the campaign on the hardest difficulty? Man, i got through the 2nd hardest difficulty for both those games and it was an excercise in extreme frustration....especially WaW. I could not even imagine the hardest.

I respect that you thought Flamelurker was hard, but I found that if you cirlcleone of the poles in his dungeon you can kill him fairly easily. I did this on my first try and didn't die. the AI in DS's is pretty good, but it still fails when you consider your surroundings.

Good luck trying to platnium DS. I have put 20hrs into that game and only have 5% of the trophies. DS would be a more meaningful platnium as it takes a lot of time and the game is hard as hell.

Oh if you want an easy plat go for AC2. I got 87% trophies easily in the course of one playthrough and probably could have gotten the rest if i put effort into it. Demon's Souls is probably the hardest plat to get.

I'd say Demon's Souls, as I really don't care about God of War. But it's up to you of course.

you will soon find out the pain and frustration that's required to obtain a pure bladestone. having said that, it's definitely worth it :P not only for the trophy, but for a maxed sharp weapon.
