10 Platinum Gaming Trophies That Were Literal Torture

5. Gran Turismo Sport

Final fantasy 14
Polyphony Digital

As the premier PlayStation racer from Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo has always offered a detailed driving experience that has persisted across all four Sony consoles released so far.

Its pursuit of realism and authenticity makes it a car-lover's dream, but also highly unforgiving to newcomers and more casual players. Only 0.73% of players have obtained its platinum trophy and to get it yourself, you'll need some serious dedication.

It all starts off with perfectly acing every race, snagging gold in all circuit experiences and other race types. However, you also have to put up with the buggy King of the Ovals trophy - one which many players had trouble unlocking.

Multiplayer trophies only add to the frustration; with many skilled drivers all over the servers, attempting to is often a fool's errand as these masters consistently curb-stomp players who are just getting into online modes.

Certified Genius is the biggest offender, challenging players to match Ayrton Senna's sixty-five pole position record. The perfectionism Gran Turismo: Sport expects of you makes it one of the most difficult PlayStation exclusives to platinum, and with GT7 just around the corner, the frustration is only likely to continue.
