Screw Crushing and screw the Platinum trophy. I am getting shot at through walls, enemies need to be shot at least five times before they go down, and sometimes I don't even get a shot off before I'm killed simultaneously by three or more baddies somehow. It's just not worth the rage. It's only a stupid trophy.
Regrettably, giving up on clearing the game on Crushing also means I'm giving up the chance to earn the game's remaining unlockable rewards: the Doughnut Drake skin, the Atoq Navarro skin, Eddy's Golden Gun in Weapon Select, the rocket launcher (forget its name) in Weapon Select, the Dragon Sniper Rifle in Weapon Select, the Infinite Ammo cheat, and the One-Kit Kills cheat. That's a lot of good stuff I'm missing out on, but I just get the feeling that all Crushing will do besides unlock all these items is make me despise every part of the game. It's best to just leave while I still love the game to death and have fond memories of this part or that part.
So on to Uncharted 2.
