14 of them are secret trophies and thus will only be revealed once we download the patch and play the game 

And I wouldn't say this is an easy platinum considering a few of them are dependent on either obtaining all of the emblems or completing a perfect run-through on Boss Extreme.

think we're all glad theres no online trophies in there... *runs* xD

having played and not liked the game that much at all, i dont recognise a single thing in that trophy list lol. but im willing to go back and try it again after 4 years to see if i was just bonkers for having such a silly opinion of it 8)

It's a shame that you can unlock the scanning plug with a password as that would have otherwise been the greatest troll against all the MGO haters who begged for trophies.

They look easier than I expected and the ??? will probably be just be the names of the Chapters or something... There are still noob spoilers to think about I guess.

Not true. Snake Eater (the iPod song) is only unlocked after every single emblem is obtained and Little Gray (all weapons) also requires the Big Boss Emblem. If you know that each emblem is required though and are still saying it's too easy I'm not sure exactly what you were expecting.

Also, for everybody looking to optimise your playthroughs for trophies:

If you unlock the Big Boss emblem (1) you automatically unlock:
2.) Foxhound
3.) Fox
4.) Hound
5.) Mantis
6.) Wolf
7.) Raven.
8.) Octopus
12.) Pigeon
32.) Scorpion
One playthrough: Total 10 emblems (minimum)

If you unlock the Chicken Emblem (40) you unlock:
28.) Pig
29.) Cow
30.) Crocodile
31.) Giant Panda
39.) Puma
One playthrough: Total 7 emblems (minimum). All together that's two playthroughs and 16 emblems

However, Chicken requires 500 kills so you can do:
9.) Bear - 100 enemies killed in chokeholds
10.) Eagle - 150 headshots
27.) Hog - Achieve a battle high ten times.
One playthrough, Total 9 emblems. All together that is two playthroughs and 19 emblems.

Chicken also requires a significant amount of time in the game. With this, you can pick up:
13.) Blue Bird - Give 50 items at least to allies
14.) Hawk (this should really go under kills I guess but whatever) - Receive praise 25 times from allies
16.) Ant - Body search 50 enemies
17.) Gibbon - Hold up 50 enemies
18.) Tortoise - 60 minutes in a box
19.) Rabbit - Turn 100 pages in a playboy magazine
20.) Bee - Inject fifty enemies with the syringe/plug
21.) Gekko - Hug a wall for an hour.
22.) Scarab - Roll forward at least one hundred times
23.) Frog - Jump sideways two hundred times (L1+X holding left or right on the analogue)
24.) Inch Worm - Crawl for an hour
25.) Lobster - Crouch for two hours and thirty minutes
26.) Hyena - Pick up four hundred items.
You can also use the lack of a time limit to view all the cutscenes and mash X through them to view the flashbacks to get that trophy
One playthrough for a total of 22 emblems. All together that is two playthroughs and 32 emblems.

If you go for Tarantula (33) you can also get:
11.) Assassin (note that you must ensure you fill this requirement. You can also unlock this with the Big Boss run through emblems)
One playthrough two emblems. All together 34 emblems three playthroughs.

If you go for Centipede (34): That's it.
One playthrough one emblem. All together 35 emblems in four playthroughs.

If you go for Spider (35): That's it assuming you're following this order.
One playthrough, one emblem. All together 36 emblems in five playthroughs.

If you go for Jaguar (36): That's it.
One playthrough for one emblem. Thirty-seven emblems in six playthroughs.

If you go for Panther (37): That's it
One playthrough for one emblem. Thirty eight emblems in seven playthroughs.

If you go for Leopard (38):
15.) Little Gray - By now, you should have every weapon. If you don't you must have missed one of the normal pickups somewhere, perhaps the VSS.
One playthrough for two emblems. Forty emblems in eight playthroughs.
