My hardest Platinums

This is my personal top 5 of the hardest Platinums I ever achieved.

#1 - Metal Gear Solid 4
Metal Gear Solid 4 is the hardest Platinum I achieved so far! Pretty much everything in the game is easy except for the Big Boss emblem. You have to complete the game in less than 5 hours on Extreme difficulty without killing anyone, without alerting anyone, without continuing, without special equip and without healing even a single time. Some parts of the game can be extremely hard and the time pressureis intense.

#2 - Dead Space 2 (EU)
Dead Space 2 is the second hardest Platinum I ever achieved because of the Hardcore Mode. It's basically like Zealot difficulty but you're only given 3 opportunities to save your game during the whole campaign. Think that's all? It isn't! There are also no checkpoints at all so if you die you have to load your latest save or if you haven't saved yet you have to restart the entire campaign.

#3 - Homefront
This is my third hardest Platinum. Guerrilla difficulty is tough at some points and can be very frustrating. Also it can be very difficult to beat every chapter without dying or reloading a checkpoint, even if you're playing on easy. One mistake and you're done and have to restart the whole chapter which can be up to an hour of work. Also it is very tough to do 200 kills in Multiplayer with the humvee and the drones.

#4 - BioShock (EU)
BioShock is the fourth hardest Platinum I ever achieved because of the "I chose the Impossible" trophy for which you have to beat the game on Survivor difficulty without using vita chambers (respawn locations) so if you die you have to restart the entire campaign. Only thing that makes it easier than Dead Space 2 is that you can save whenever you want to. Although it still sucks to save every other room and load if you die. If you're not careful you'll spend more time reloading your save than actually playing.

#5 - Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (EU)
The hardest part of this Platinum would be completing the campaign on Platinum difficulty and completing the campaign with a hero who never died. Why not just quit to the main menu and reload you save? Because you can't. When your character dies you have like 3-5 seconds to turn off the power of your PS3 or to quit out of the game via PS-Button because after that 3-5 seconds you'll respawn and it will automatically overwrite the previous autosave and there is no way to manually save your game to another save slot. If you're to slow your character will be marked as "died once" so you have to create a whole new character to get the trophy.
