One Crimson Desert<\/a> fan has secured its Platinum trophy after spending 305 hours since the game came out \u2014 leaving fans of the game shocked and concerned.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A Platinum trophy is awarded to PlayStation users who obtain all other trophies in a game. TioZer0, who has a number of Platinum trophies under their belt already, has been explaining how and why they did this after posting a screenshot of their achievement on reddit, which subsequently went viral.<\/p>\n

As TioZer0\u2019s achievement made its way to social media, Pearl Abyss PR and marketing chief Will Powers expressed his disbelief<\/a>, pointing out that Crimson Desert had only been out for 428 hours when TioZer0 nabbed the Platinum.<\/p>\n

As one redditor worked out, Crimson Desert came out 18 days before TioZer0 posted their achievement. Given there are 24 hours in a day, TioZer0 spent 70% of waking hours playing Crimson Desert, or roughly 13 hours a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went for the blind approach and it took me 305 hours,\u201d TioZer0 explained. \u201cOver 60 of those hours were hunting the insects and fish at the end, so this number is PRETTY inflated. With the datamined information now available in some websites and guides now having more information, anyone can get it at around 130~150 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

As many have pointed out, such an intense gaming marathon can\u2019t be good for anyone’s well being, but TioZer0 defended the amount of time they put into the game over such a condensed period.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as I eat well, I don’t really feel the need to sleep so much, so I played 56 hours straight and slept eight, repeating until done and only stopping to shower or to buy food,” they explained. “I also only needed to work 16 hours during these days, which is also something that makes it easier to complete the game earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, this is extremely unhealthy, I know, and I don’t recommend it to anyone even if you can handle it like me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the original post blew up earlier this week, TioZer0 has continued to respond to comments containing varying levels of concern. \u201cWell done, but please my friend go outside and get some sunlight and fresh air,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI completely stopped playing after the Platinum and the very next day I went around the city donating chocolate to children on Easter with the NGO I currently run,\u201d TioZer0 countered. \u201cDon’t worry it’s not a habit, just a one-time marathon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then: \u201cI didn’t really RUSH through it since I didn’t skip any content. I enjoyed it like anyone else, but with it compressed into big sessions instead of many smaller ones. It was my average pace, the only difference was that I was skipping some nights of sleep and not doing other hobbies during this \u2018marathon.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI was off work, gf abroad with her parents and I’m living far from family and friends atm, so the stars just aligned for me to no-life a game these days.\u201d<\/p>\n

TioZer0 then responded to the \u201chaters\u201d who had questioned their effort: \u201cI’ve never received so much hate for free, it’s sad to see how many people like to wish bad on strangers for no reason at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed every second of it,\u201d they continued. \u201cAnd it was a one-time marathon, not years without leaving the house. It’s not that deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does Crimson Desert Need a ‘Hard’ Difficulty Mode?<\/h2>\n
