Achieve Trophies | January 2013 Thread | 2012's PS3 and Xbox Champions revealed!

Looks like I got a habit for games with shot frame rates. Under defeat slowsdown to a crawl in alot of places. But that's manageable. But zone of the enders 2 is quite literally the worst port I have ever seen. Its terrible. Wish I never started it now as its wiping all my glorious memories.
 
UGHHHHH. That will be my comment.

Yeah. We were SO CLOSE.

If any PS3 Zombie savants are ITT feel free to add us on PSN and make a 3-4 player co-op game to beat this asshole of a trophy.

  • Also need to complete the last 2 co-op missions in Far Cry 3 for the plat. Sadly most people are only playing the first 3 levels.
  • And I started Vanquish. For my 100 plat milestone I wanted another hard platinum because I botched my 2012 resolution of platting GT5. Almost done with my first run on normal difficulty to get the basics down. After that the Hard playthrough and then the hell that is supposed to be Challenge 6. I'm prepared, hell I need to get in shape before Revengeance comes out anyway lol.
  • Should start Sonic Racing All Star Transformed on Vita this weekend. Let me know if you guys play online for that one trophy ;)
  • I did get the platinum for Spec Ops: The Line this weekend though.

I'm very excited to hear your thoughts on the game. I absolutely adored it.

Know this: if you've beaten the first fight of Ch.6 on Fubar then you have earned that achievement/trophy in my books. You're home free after that. It'll still be tough and frustrating but you will be on a high after completing something so difficult.

Spec Ops was one of my surprises of 2012, even if I only started playing it this month. The story is well done, shooting feels tight and enjoyable but is nothing groundbreaking. The game does a great job in showing the effects of PTSD but I wasn't really shocked by anything in the cutscenes (probably because it felt a little cartoony due to the Unreal engine I guess). What DID make me feel tense was the personality change in your character's combat dialogue during the game. At the end he is literally screaming like a madman, and on FUBAR I was definitely screaming with him, especially after killing a Heavy: FUCKING FINALLY!!! Kill Fucking Confirmed!

FUBAR difficulty was a little heavy on the grenade spam but all in all not too bad except for Chapter 3,6 (you weren't lying Montresor damn) and the final fight area. The choice elements were really well done.

Achievement wise the game supported in-game tracking, which worked well.
 
Started Jak and Daxter cause I'd spent days without hearing a trophy ding and it was driving me nuts. Ahh, the sweet sound of consecutive trophy unlocks. <3
 
Wow i did pretty well in 2012 :D Sorry i haven't been around much in the last few months. Had a bit of a break from trophy whoring for a while. Have a massive backlog and plenty of games to play now, so will no doubt be getting quite a few trophies
 
Oh shit, I didn't realize there was DLC WITH TROPHIES out for it!

I'll use the spare money on the $50 card I'm getting for EDF and get it!

The DLC for Sound Shapes is so useless but so worth it for trophies. Popped them all in the last 2 days and gained some ground on levels.
 
Jesus christ the new PS store can blow me. I can't download the PS3 version of Sound Shapes again, the "Choose a Version" garbage gives me the Vita download no matter what I pick. :| And I'm not sifting through my 916 item long download list to find it.

Shouldn't be too hard to find if you just shift down to august time. I found mine pretty fast.
no vita anymore so had to settle for 15 Silvers but never mind lol.

Under defeat Hd is trophy heaven too and a damn easy plat.
Should have mine tonight just need to finish arcade mode 2 or 3 more times.

I browse exclusively on store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com now. I love it and I despise the PS3Store. Select your stuff on PC and download from the list on your PS3. It's the best.
 
Sorry Steve and Returners for no-showing Blops 2 zombies on Sunday. Something personal came up and I'm just now able to get back to console gaming. Only had access to my Vita with in and out wifi. How did it go?

Edit: I added Just Cause 2 to my digital backlog as I missed getting it for free on PSN+ by a month. It was only $7.50. Weird thing was the ultimate edition on the store includes all 10 of the the DLC and is $30 but if you add the DLC together with the $750 it's under $20 lol.

Use the Account Management download list. It's the old stores one, so it's much faster to use, even if you still have to scroll through the list to find your games.
 
Finished Assassin's Creed 3, does anyone want to boost the DLC trophies? :D

Starting Prototype 2, any tips, should I start on easy or go straight to hard?
 
After a couple days of casual playing, I've come to the conclusion that PSASBR is pretty much the easiest platinum ever. Yeah, finishing arcade with everyone might get a bit boring, but it involves little to no difficulty.

Obviously never played Wonderbook or NCIS.
 
My XBLA backlog is getting out of hand. I used to follow the rule, Don't buy anything unless you will play it right away. But I ended up buying too many things during the XBLA sales. And I made it worse by buying two puzzles games for 200 points each yesterday (Winterbottom and Axel&Pixel).
 
Under defeat is super easy, you basically only have to play through the 2 modes 3x each.
Was probably the simplest Shmup i have ever played.
framerate sucks as well as there is constant explosions so super easy to dodge the enemys bullets lol

I have it too. Gonna save it for the weekend after Black Ops Zombies ;)

Also have Dishonored, Zone of the Enders (a.k.a Rising demo) and MGSHD Vita added to the backlog pile.
 
Plat #83: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy HD

First time playing through the Jak games, this one was alright. I wish you had gained abilities as you went along, but it was a pretty solid platformer.

Now I've heard.. great things about Jak 2, so I'd rather not go into that one ASAP. I'll just keep shooting bugs.

Just use the orb glitch in 2 and 3. You'll thank me for it.
 
Hmm dunno if I'd platinum Tomb Raider Anniversary TBH, I spent a total of 5 hours with dozens of deaths in the 2nd stage, Greece. Will settle for getting most of the trophies and maybe in a future replay I'll Platinum it.

Almost done with Munch HD, I'm at the final level(s), but like-wise won't Platinum it since
some trophies are attainable by getting the bad ending
 
orb glitch? I know about the bolt trick in R&C 1

There are some challenges in Jak 2 & 3 where you just need to collect an orb on time. You take an easy mission of those, you go to the end, you jump above the orb, press pause and restart the mission. Jak drops down and collects the orb while the mission is reset. Repeat 100 times.
 
Joe Danger 2: You're definately easier "career" wise than Joe Danger 1 , but your achievements are a pain. Secret achievements for crashing a certain way. So I just can't crash, I have to crash the way you want me to Hello Games? Ughhh

Also, an achievement for finishing a 4 player race, split screen race, not online race. And I only have THREE controllers! Getting half the achievements in 2 ish hours though wasn't to bad though

Montressor: Axel & Pixel everyone(TrueAchievements) claims is short and fun. So not too much damage to your backlog
 
First Platinum of 2013 and 53th overall was Plant's Vs Zombies on Vita. I managed to get to wave 43 using tips posted here and youtube. 2 cob cannon method for the win! Thanks guys! By far one of my favorite games of all time! I even booted up the 360 version to mop up some of the achievements on that one. There is no collect all Zen garden achievement so I can sell all the plants I get to make the Tree of Wisdom achevement easier.

Platinum 54 is The Walking Dead. I got the disc version for Christmas. Intense game and I recommend it. Not my GOTY but next time I won't be waiting till all the episodes are out to play the second game/season.

Is there a youtube of this?
 
Hey guys. Add me, please.



I'm not as much of a trophy hunter as some of you, but enjoy reaching for the platinum or 100% in the games I play. Would be fun to see how I compare to the rest of GAF.
 
Just 1000/1000 Forza Horizon (Not bothering with Rally for now). Ended up setting up a few TA Gaming Sessions for boosting that and the online achievements for NBA Jam before the servers dies this friday.
 
Is there a youtube of this?

Do it and save yourself the time and trouble. You can also jump over the orb and reload as well.

I finally got my stream set up perfectly at 720p with game audio and my microphone so I will be streaming some Devil May Cry "HD" collection starting tomorrow. Hopefully you guys who followed me didn't get a million emails from Twitch while I was testing. If so, sorry about that. I'll make a post in here when I go live.

Thanks! Awesome dude.

Nice avatar too!
 
Just started up Jetpack Joyride on PS3 after getting all but the last trophy on Vita.

Trophies didn't pop, so no sync from Vita to PS3? Got a nice 6km run on PS3 in about 25 min. so the hardest skill trophy is out of the way.

But before I go crazy....do the trophies sync from PS3 to Vita? Or are they separate lists?

We are talking about 30 hours vs. 60 hours of time investment here.

SO I NEED TO KNOW BADLY!!!11!!1! ;)

Also, I like gold trophies and 100% completion but I'm not spending money on this. I'm willing to put down time on this though because I'm an idiot.

BTW, I think my body is ready for Tactical Challenge 6 in Vanquish. I wish I had livestream equipment so you could see me try tomorrow haha. Hard mode was doable in the campaign though so hopefully I'm good. Now to study some videos!

Hard mode in the campaign is easy town compared to challenge 6. Or any of the challenges lol. Good luck. I gave up in the end but downloaded it the other night to give it another crack soon
