I piled a good 60 + hours in to trying to get the Platinum on MGS2, then gave up with about 50% of the VR missions still to go. It wasn't just that they were difficult (although some of them were very difficult), it was also that they were so repetitive.
Last time I gave up on trophies/achievements for a game was Stranglehold on 360 (hardest difficulty playthrough). MGS2 has kinda made me rethink my gaming life -> since then I've been largely trying to avoid getting drawn into trophy/achievement hunting - it's going well, I completed Far Cry 3 over the weekend and then just put it down, no interest in mopping up any outstanding trophies. MGS2 really broke me.
It's a shame really, because I left MGS2 on a bad note -> I'd gone back to the HD collection so I could revisit these classic games and use the trophies as a guide excuse to see and do everything.
I'm going to dip back in for MGS3 and Peace Walker in the next few weeks - by all accounts the former's trophies are a great deal simpler, so I guess it won't be too much of a stretch to nab the Platinum there if the mood takes me.
So, yeah, in conclusion, the MGS2 Platinum is a bit of a ****. Agreed.
