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

Platinums #124 & Platinum #125
Sound Shapes (PS3 + Vita) 100%

Well my national nightmare is over, stupid Death Mode and the skill of luck >_<.
Fun game, enjoyed Becks album the most and Deadmau5 2nd best
Wish they would add more campaign stuff and start a new trend with albums, but the way DLC has been released, I don't think that is a given ; ;
Oh wells!, DAT Silver Rain of Trophies was amazing.
The Insta-PING! Platinum was nice to have towards the PS3 version
For some reason DLC was acting up, so I just did all 3 packs and got them done

Once I get the plat for AC3 I think I'm done with trophies for the games I currently have. I'll be back with a vengeance when GOW: Ascension comes out though, I'm guessing I'll need lots of strength to plow through the inevitable online trophies.

Don't worry man we'll get them together. Lots of GoW fans here. I platted them all so GoW: Ascension HAS to be platted.

It's gonna be hard for me to get the Team Sonic Trophy in Sonic racing for Vita. I need to find 5 people to play simultaneously AND win the race :/. Game is extremely enjoyable though.

Btw I'm available this weekend for Zombies.
 
Talking about Zombies, is there a group here that regularly plays the moon DLC in Black Ops 1 (X-Box 360)? I'd very much like some help to get my last achievement in this game, Big Bang Theory.
 
Yup, I've got all the GoW plats as well and will be there day 1. I'm sure plenty of us will be there to help out with those!

You too? I was wondering if I'd fucked something up with my cloud sync so I just did all the DLC on the Vita separately. Wasn't too bad!

While I'm at it, I should probably chart out for myself all the stuff I started in December/This month and how far I'm at. Looking at my trophy list...

Active:

L6eb12b.png


- Keep playing the game. Looots of stuff to do on this one still.

L00315a.png


- Put a few hours into this, but realized that there was one miss-able trophy that would require me to do one whole playthrough more if I didn't restart. A bit miffed, but better than having to do more than two full runs.

Passive:

L9ca196.png


- Still need to beat the game. Progress kinda stalled once EDF came out.

L8e33e9.png


- Quest for 180 Emblems: ankreggfregvwcrw

Lb1539e.png


- Only missing two trophies, but each require a full playthrough. Would't be bad if the cutscenes were skippable... :(

Urgh:

Ld57e2d.png


- Played for a bit longer and I REALLY don't like what they've done to this from Jak 1. I'll take a break for a while before I go back to this series.
 
Attempting Dead Space 2's Hard to the Core achievement sometimes this weekend. I'll be honest, I'm actually quite frightened.

Also playing through Skyrim's first expansion pack, Dawnguard and honestly I'm not really feeling it, although I am persevering for obvious reasons *looks at this thread*. Playing as a Vampire Lord is really fun, but it does get a bit boring and besides that this is really just more Skyrimmy kind of dungeons with nothing fun or new added outside of the new transformation.

It's kind of making me reconsider purchasing the second (major) expansion.
 
Congrats! So is that your best completion ever? =)

No, Ninja Gaiden is WAY harder and I 1000 it, just never found the patience to do it all over again to finish the DLC.

The one I consider my best is Left 4 Dead. So many glitches, so dependant on other people's skill. It was a huge nightmare to get some of those achievements.

But Dark Souls was one of the best games I completed, it's hard, frustrating challenging. All in all it's a great experience start to finish.

Oh god, that was more terrifying than any scare the game threw at me. I think I saved at chapters 5, 10 and 13. Did the final chapters soo many times., but when I finally got it:

Good luck!
 
Almost done with Zone of the enders 2.
Just need to run through the game one more time which should only take a couple of hours. only took me 4 first playthough and that was with watching all the cutscenes.
only on trophy that took me a few attempts as one LEV kept dying and that was The great rescuer but even then that was pretty easy.

Think ill move onto All 4 one next as that's been sitting on my hard drive for a while, a bit of that and a bit of hell yeah!

Have you found 5 yet? I'll start this and take a break from Most Wanted to help out.
 
Platinum #126 & #127
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (Vita + PS3) 100%

Finally finished off both version. Jesus SP is a grind and a chore
Roughly 25-30 minutes per character, ugh...
MP was decent, but game doesn't have that lasting factor
Storyline wise some vs. combo made sense, some just WTF?!? (so stupid to have Cole Good & Evil, took away a spot)
Overall decent, 7/10
Hits the right nostalgia notes, but falls flat in other aspects

I've had a productive January so far. Platted Dishonored, Hitman, NFS:MW Vita and currently working on platting NFS:MW PS3. It was nice to have time off from work to game, and an understanding wife :)

IM PLAYING ZOMBIES RIGHT NOW WITH A FRIEND ;)

How close are you and your group getting? I really thought that Maxis trophy was going to stop me from getting the plat and had decided to give up after my group had gotten it without me while i was offline. Luckily I had a few others convince me to not give up and so I kept trying. Took me a whole weekend of non stop trying to actually get it. Looking back at it, it really should have been easier than it was but hindsight is 20/20. Good luck with the trophy, i'm sure you guys will get it eventually!

Seems like a nice game to play once it hits PS+ in about 3 months! :P

:) yeah, i've been lurking, i'm not too active on the forum. I'm constantly in the thread checking up on everyones progress and what games they are playing and finishing. Congrats on the double plat for All Stars, I decided to pass on that game, too many games in my backlog still.

I have such a backlog it's no joke

I cut my Trophy spending like 80% this year lol

Only grabbing GOW: Ascension Collector's Edition (will be passing up on BioShock Infinite)
; ;
No new game purchase till at least I hit 140-150+ Platinums after GOW

I have to destroy this backlog
I can burn through games at a rapid fucking pace, but I always try to get DAT PLAT! *Bites Lip*, never want to just to do the minimum amount, always want to squeeze out much as possile

Don't worry on PSASBR, by the time you will be free, shit will be either free through PS+ or < $20 for the Cross Buy version
 
Platinum #126 & #127
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (Vita + PS3) 100%

Just so you know my Heihachi is still salty!

Yeah I platted the Vita version too today after our match but I still need about 18 arcade playthroughs on PS3. Pfffft.

I really thought that Maxis trophy was going to stop me from getting the plat and had decided to give up after my group had gotten it without me while i was offline.

We got to Avogadro (the electric dude at the tower in the cornfield). Then we died there after he spawned and then the salt began. We even had Raygun+LMG. Yeah... :/

BTW do you need to place the turbines permanently at the tower before the electric dude spawns or can you pick it up after the doctor speaks? We also have some trouble to decide when the lightning is exactly above us.

Have you found 5 yet? I'll start this and take a break from Most Wanted to help out.

With you that's #2. Might scour the Vita megathread soon to see if people there are interested.

The turbines can be picked up or destroyed after Maxis says to kill Avagadro. In my run, we had one of the turbines destroyed while we were killing Avogadro. One thing to note is that you have to kill Avogadro with the EMP grenade. Knifing him or using the knuckles wont work, as far as I know. Once you kill avogadro, you can pick up the turbines. If someone had their turbine destroyed, then they will have to be one of the people that goes back to the bus depot to get another turbine. 2 people stay inside the crops with a zombie and then 2 people go back to the bus, 1 to the diner and 1 to the bank. When everyone has their turbine, the person at the diner places their turbine, then the 2 at the crops and then finally the last at the bank. If done right, your trophy should pop. Thats how I was able to do it with 4 people.

I've read that it can be done with 2 people. The turbines at the crops do not have to be placed again after killing Avagadro. Only the one at the diner and bank. I can't confirm if that works though.

If I still had the game, I would be more than willing to help you guys out but I traded it in as soon as I was done with the trophies.

Good luck, let me know if you need any clarification.
 
Thought I'd posted to sub at the start of the month, but that must have failed.

Been playing a lot of older stuff that in have on hand or via PS+

Been switching between Red Dead Redemption, Far Cry 2 and some other various titles on Vita. Finally started AC:L, but only played like 30 min or so. It seems like a slow starter... Assuming it picks up at all.
 
I to have decided to finish Playstation AllStars before starting anything new. Vita was done awhile ago. I have about 10 or 11 characters left on the PS3 version. I plan to do a minimum of 2 characters a day till it's done. So boring but I'd rather have a boring plat than an stupidly hard or annoying one. :)

- Played for a bit longer and I REALLY don't like what they've done to this from Jak 1. I'll take a break for a while before I go back to this series.

I tried playing Jak II for the first time a few months back, and yeah, it's quite shocking how they managed to turn a pretty fun classic platformer like Jak I into a middling to bad action platformer in Jak II. Granted, I probably would've liked Jak II better had I played it when it was new, but today it just feels like a clunky, lifeless experience with an "open world" needlessly shoehorned in. I don't think I even got halfway through before I put it down.
 


I'd like to be added!

Going through the Alien Breed Trilogy at the moment. 1st game was ok but the other two are exactly the same, no kind of changes or improvements whatsoever, so it's feeling like a grind.

Almost done with them, though.

Nice. =)

Right now I'm doing a game that's a pretty darn easy 200/200 but it's a puzzle game and I'm trying to solve every puzzle on my own.

The game's WINTERBOTTOM!!! This wonderful game is on sale for 200 points this week and it's easily worth it if you were a fan of Braid or Limbo. I only need to finish three more recording puzzles and two more time puzzles in the bonus shorts section before I get my 200/200 (and 41st "plat").

I just experienced the most tense 20 minutes in my ENTIRE LIFE. It's 9:30 am here but I'm still shaking. No joke.

I declare Vanquish to be my most proudest platinum ever. Sorry WaW, you've been dethroned!

Now I need to calm down with Flower or Jetpack Joyride or something. Pffffffffffffffffffff
 


Add me to the wall too, I just really started paying attention to this post, seems like a cool thing to do. Much respect to whoever works all this information out. My backlog going into 2013 is absurd, hoping to knock a couple games out before the AAA titles come out this year.

Right now I am working on:

Halo 4: I beat legendary solo, which while I've heard is not the hardest halo campaign out there, was an extraordinary accomplishment for me. One of the more frustrating goals I have accomplished recently. I hadn't committed to 100%ing this game until I did that, now I am definitely going for the 100%. Finishing up 2 mission specific achievements, then the terminal achievement before moving on to spartan ops. Will be my first 100% Halo.

Far Cry 3: friend talked me into buying it so I could help him with the coop missions. Have only done those thus far, no single player. From what he's told me, single player is a cake walk achievement wise and is a fun game to play, so it's next when I finish Halo 4.

WWE '13: I swore off wwe games after last years, and here I am playing this damn game, I got suckered in my the attitude era theme, and I am definitely enjoying it. Don't see myself 100%ing this because the maximum rank in multiplayer is insane and thq bans for boosting. You'd think with them going out of business they'd have more important things to worry about besides boosters, oh well. Will probably go 45/48 achievements on this.

Games I'm planning on working on soon:
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Skylanders: Giants
Dishonored
Assassin's Creed III

Any input on Black Ops II's achievement difficulty? 1/50 currently, lol.
 
@Noi- Munch's Platinum can be time consuming since you need to do at least 2 playthroughs as far as I know, to get the Platinum.
The game itself isn't that hard so long as you are patient and take your time. Although the fact that enemies take a lot of hits to kill is boring.

Haha *Mortal Kombat voice* IMPRESSIVE. can't wait to play that again. Gotta try burn through my backlog first though. Made a massive dent this month. Put miles away from ever doing it. Git about 7 games to trade in and says on games website 80 quid so will go add to my backlog some more in a bit.
 
Grats on Vanquish Steve. Netguy was trying to convince me to run that challenge again last night on stream and I said I wouldn't do it unless you did. I'll have to try again after I wrap up DMC 1.

Nelo Angelo wrecked me twice last night so I'm hoping the third time is the charm right now.
