I just felt like I couldn't play anything else until I got Le Saboteur finished.
And besides, last night I ran into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I was out running off a Nazi alarm, when suddenly a car started flying through the air above me. The Nazis inside were still shooting, but they kept on flying into the No Man's Land section of the map.
Saboteur began weird - with a flashback inside a flashback involving a countryside car race - so it fits that the ending would be weird. There was a quick rampage through a factory, then a very brief boss encounter. The most important bit is this: you get to keep playing after the credits end.
After watching the big finale, I only had a few hotspots left to scour. I cleaned out Notre Dame, which was no problem. I still had almost everything waiting for me up in Sarbrucken, so that took some doing. Sarbrucken contains the last few cars you need to find to complete the collection Perk... after getting them, that left me with one Gold Perk to unlock, so I bought it off for 3000 instead of actually doing it. It was the one where you have to kill 10 Nazis in 10 seconds or whatever. Sounded hard. F that.
By 2am, I was down to one Trophy remaining. The one you get for spending 75,000 francs(?). The thing is, there's not a lot to buy in The Saboteur. By this point in the game - 70+ hours in - all that's left is ammo. I was at 55,000. That's kind of a lot of ammo to go through to grab the Trophy.
I ended up standing by the gun store guy, emptying my rocket launchers and machine guns into the air, and then continuously buying more ammo. It was stupid and took an hour. Not a satisfying ending, but at least I went to bed knowing that I would never play The Saboteur again.
That's my fifth Platinum, following up Assassin's Creed II, Katamari Forever ( <3 Super proud of that one <3 ), Ratchet & Clank: Whatever The Last One Was, and everybody's Platinum, Burnout Paradise.
