The DLC was stupid

It really was a hostage maneuver on THQ's part

We will release DLC on Day 30. 60, 90 to stop second hand sales, but the delays and trying to keep users at bay from reselling made it almost a Day 60, Day 120, Day 150 scenario

Didn't help if you got to level 20+ most of the DLC was useless cause I think they were capped to certain levels
I think the first one, the frozen are was level 15, I had already Platinumed the game and moved on and a month later found out what the DLC entailed, fucking horrible

Lol, sounds pretty bad indeed. Oh well, I'll continue DS II tomorrow or so. Shouldn't be too long anymore (City Of The Dead). Printed the collectibles walkthrough and checked the ones I got because I bet it's a pain in the ass to check every location twice after you've completed the game lol.

Seems there's actually a lot of endgame trophies/content. 100 rounds arena? Soul Arbiter maze? Also entered some kind of smallish dungeon with a boss named "deposed king" or something. He basically wrecked my shit at lvl 13, should probably come back later.

Anyone plat Socom 4?

How's the Elite difficulty compared to... Spec Ops or COD: WaW?

COD W@W > Socom 4 > Spec Ops

Socom 4 worst problem is the AI teammates, they will get you killed, a lot
They are really dumb, at least Spec AI's helped kill enemies for you by you calling them out, not really in Socom 4, they dumb

Spec had you wait, but could work from any cover, order commands and move up
Socom you have to earn your cover to move up, AI will be beneficial 1/10 times
The precision of enemy AI is fucking outstanding Socom 4

Grr... the continuous patching of this game is messed up. I can't install this game for the life of me.

 

[StevePharma]

Whaha I'm an Idiot.

I did a Pacifist run on Metro:Last Light. No kills

But the trophy didn't pop at the end.

Seems that if you take gas mask filter from unconsious bodies it counts as a kill. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

If you guys are going for this "Shadow Ranger" trophy read up on it first. It's glitchy and I'm super paranoid about these kinds of pacifist trophies.

I hate trophies like that. If I have to wait till the end of the game to know if I did it right, then I'm paranoid the entire game. I was like that with the no kill trophy and the collectible animals on MGS3.

I remember it not popping because I lost three animals. I really didn't want to play the entire game again and then I remembered I died on the final fight. Cllected all three snakes and got it

 

[Tizoc]

Gah, aiming for Alice Madness Return's Platinum is gonna be a bore mainly replaying the stages again to find the collectables. Why'd they make these stages so damn fucking long?
Will aim for the non-collectable trophies first for now...

Goal in June: Get 2 or more Platinums >8(

I'm fairly certain I took filters off of unconscious enemies and Shadow Ranger unlocked for me just fine. Are you sure you didn't kill anyone?

 

[Montresor]

I haven't posted in awhile. Just wanna say I hope everyone here is still loving achievements and trophies. I've almost beaten Vanquish and Mark Of The Ninja. I'm also playing 999 (3DS) on the side and I got a new Windows Phone 8 so I'll be getting achievements on the go! =)

Thanks for the heads up! Just completed my first playthrough (Ranger Hardcore) so I missed a lot of stuff. It seems I'll need another 2 playthroughs for the plat. One for Shadow Ranger and another for the "kill everyone in this area" trophies.

Great game, btw.

What a bad week for Trophies for me

Only got 1... Real Life has taken away so much time from me...

Was earning so many at the start of the month, but crashed and burned at the end... ; ;
(Still have a full week to get 70+ trophies and I'll break the 300 Trophies/Month for the 6th time, hopefully I can get that done and reach 9000+ trophy milestone)

 

[Dawg]

As I'm nearing the end of DS II, I'm wondering what to do with my next game: the original Bioshock.

According to ps3trophies.org, the platinum is only 10-15hrs long if you start your first playthrough on Survivor. This also means you can get every single trophy on the first playthrough.

Would anyone recommend this to a new player? I've never played the game before, but I'd like to get everything in one playthrough. Not sure how difficult it is.

 

[Atolm]

Plat #58 - Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. So good. And I'm not finished yet, I'm going to get the best possible gear for my pawn. So if someone is going to play this, feel free to add me to PSN, since the pawns from your friendlist are free. Mine is lvl120 at the moment.

 

[StevePharma]

Yeah but the final section with the tank and flamethrower guy is weird. Conflicting reports on how to handle it. How did you do it?

Grinding out mods for Sonic Racing Vita to get the last trophy for plat. Going to be my proudest Vita plat

I shot the wheels off the tank and then shot the exposed part of the turret to blow it up. Likewise, I shot the flamethrower guy in the head when he got close enough. Some of the allied NPCs are more or less invulnerable so you can just let them kill everyone else.

Dude, seriously, you'll be ranking among the top 10 this month and eventually amng the top 5 by the end of the year XP.

I don't think that has ever happened to me

Really need to finish off Sleeping Dogs DLC, fucker is taking up 15GB (7GB for base game + 8GB for DLC/Freebees)
Make a dent into Ratchet Deadlocked
Tuesday bring Fuse (I have such a backlog, yet I can't control myself... LOL)

 

[Footos22]

Just started q force on the vita. Glad this game shares a Trophy list. This is borderline unplayable. That framerate is probably the worst I have seen. Suprising when the game also looks like a ps1 game

If you've got zero interest in the story, then go for it, but it will get pretty damn tough for a bit if you don't have any particular experience with the various enemies etc.

I wouldn't recommend it, but it is possible. You'll just need a walkthrough with you. I tried to get everything but Survivor/No-Vita in one run, and I failed due to missing a tonic.

Which tunic if I may ask? I've read (except for the first area) you can get back to EVERY area in the game

 

[Joni]

In that case it must have been a case of simply using too much Adam on health upgrades. I can't remember which one I missed specifically, I just remember having to go through it again and having to deal with the Little Sisters again. Also, the bit before you get to a certain main character can also only be played once.

2nd platinum this month, 5th platinum for Vita, and 22nd overall platinum: Rayman Origins



I almost busted my Vita and my fingers.

Pharma when will you get around to tally the points?

 

[Footos22]

2 more challenges to go on men's room mayhem. They are hard though. Can't believe I stopped playing soul sacrifice for this game lol it's frustrating but addictive

Edit: And done. Gold medal is my 4th rarest trophy now after the sine mora stuff. Crazy.
If anyone whos playing it is struggling, the festival was a good level to get the 20 handwashing bonuses in a wave challenge on. You can do it from Wave 9 i think. I got mine on Wave 11.

Can't see me getting anymore trophies this month apart from hitman absolutions plat tonight. (loved it btw, fuck all the haters)
here's what i knocked out this month.

Strangers Wrath Vita: Platinum
Rocketbirds Vita: Platinum
Nun attack: 100%
Frobisher says: 100%
Sound shapes: The last 10 silvers
Sound Shapes Vita: The last 10 silvers
Lollipop chainsaw: Platinum
Sine Mora: 42% (might go back to it just requires a lot of grinding to get the next set of trophies started)
Jacob Jones: 100%
Velocity Ultra: 91% (waiting for that Ripley patch to get my plat )
Draw slasher: 52% (Terrible game wont be going back to that one)
Men's Room Mayhem: 100%
Soul sacrifice: 8% (only just started)
Hitman Absolution: Platinum
Ratchet and clank Q force: (1% only tried it out on vita. It was horrible, will play properly on ps3 next month)

I did alright

 

[Risgroo]

Platinum #48: Uncharted 3

Good game, but nowhere near the previous entry in the series. Crushing was surprisingly easy, aside from a few tricky spots. It's been a pretty good month for me, hoping to get GoW: A and The Last of Us done in June. I'm also considering "retiring" from PS3 hunting at 50 plats, or I might push on to 60...

 

[crispyben]

It felt really good to finally delete Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic from my PS3! I downloaded it for free way back when Sprint paid for it on the US PSN, and only began playing it yesterday. I got all trophies but the one Gold, and there's no way I'm going to shorten my life trying to ace all those challenges...

This month is going to be my biggest yet, with over 5,800 points from finishing Thomas Was Alone (Vita), Sound Shapes (PS3 + Vita), MGS3 (PS3), The Unfinished Swan and Rag Doll Kung Fu. I'm still playing Velocity Ultra. I could also "transfar" my MGS2+3 saves to the Vita tomorrow, does it work well?

 

[Footos22]

Quell 100% first on all the leaderboards.
Very easy. Fun puzzle game though. Nice change of pace. Take it I must be the first person to 100% it on vita.


Crispyben

Mgs2 transfar worked well.
Mgs3 you have to redo a couple of things. But if you made saves in preparation it will take like an extra 3 mins

 

[daevv]

I've pretty much retired from 360 achievement hunting. I haven't got any achievements since April. I can't see me getting a XB1, even if their E3 is good. I'm a few thousand from 70k gamerscore so a quick playthrough of my 20 or so backlog games should get me there.

I hit a wall in my trophy hunting as well. Sly Cooper 4's collection trophies saw to that. I have been playing a shit tonne of Tarraria though but a couple of the trophies take a long time so I may stop soon unless I can find someone with those already done.

 

[Dingotech]

Flap the Tomb Raider multiplayer trophies....

I've grinded out just about all of them so far except for the 20 turret kills trophy, I've been 100% focused on it for about 4-5 hours so far and only gotten 7 kills. You're just super exposed when sitting on the turret and after a while enemies know you're just trying to use the turret the whole game so they snipe you.

Would love to boost that trophy just to get it out of the way.

Yeah I've been trying, mainly on team deathmatch.

Everytime I get on the turret somebody snipes me from far away, or they climb up behind and bomb/stealth kill me!! Jerks! Don't they know I'm trying to grind trophies here!

Thanks, I'll give it a try, I think I have a lot of MGS3 saves, maybe too much since I had to delete a few early ones near the endgame... I also think I may have forgotten to save correctly for the Peace Walker trophy :-x

 

[Reign_Of_Rain]

Just plat'd Gravity Rush w00t. Fun game but some of the combat felt meh with camera issues coupled by the motion sensing. Or, I just sucked at it I don't know lol.

Well done! I'd love to get back into GR with the DLC packs and get 100%, but it seems they never go on sale in EU... I transfarred my MGS saves from PS3 to Vita and just finished unlocking the few stragglers that didn't ping on their own. It wasn't too bad, and I'm impressed by how good those games look on "dat OLED"! I hope Steve hasn't done his calculations yet, I could crack the top 10 for once with around 7,500 points, more than 10% of my total ;-)

[JoeFenix]

Finally completed Spelunker HD including all the EX Championship levels.

Such a special game, so many crazy moments in multiplayer, more people need to play this. I feel lost now that it's finally done, spent 2 weeks on it almost exclusively.

This game had us constantly laughing, it's one of the meanest and funniest games out there. The game will dick you over CONSTANTLY with ghosts when you're about to finally get that mural piece after losing 10 lives trying. So many OH SHIT moments, if you can get a group of 3-4 guys to play with I guarantee you'll have a blast.

One of the best games on PS3, period.

Usually get a shit month after a months high scoring frenzy

more then me and i was on form the tail end of this month but was mainly small 300 point titles.

So it seems the plat for Velocity Ultra is bugged at the moment. There's no way to obtain it. But thankfully a patch is on the way.

Platinum #2: Guacamelee!

I actually beat the game in the first few days of the month, but after getting lost in Soul Sacrifice, then going on a FIFA 13 Vita binge due to Fergie retiring, I only went for the platinum these last few days.

My original goal for this month was to get the 99 trophies needed to get to the 500 trophy mark this month. That didn't work out however due to the reasons I mentioned. I'm on vacation for 2 weeks from June 3rd though, so I'm gonna make my target 600 trophies by the end of next month. I'm only 12 away from 500, and have quite a few games I can get finished up easily, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

 

[crispyben]

Speaking of which, did you finished Most Wanted and its DLC?

Nah, I sold the game after I Platinum'd it. I wasn't having any fun online, which I guess was my fault for expecting the same as Burnout Paradise... It didn't help that the DLC was quite expensive. I also completed the Vita version, but didn't go for the last online trophies, and sold it too.

That will be top 5 i should think if not top.
Usually get a shit month after a months high scoring frenzy

more then me and i was on form the tail end of this month but was mainly small 300 point titles.

This was kind of a perfect storm for me, with Sound Shapes and MGS3 on both PS3 and Vita, I don't think I'll ever pull that off again.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Barely any trophies from me this month, Tales of Graces f has seen to that.

 

[Canis lupus]

Did good this month, should be above 5k I think.

 

[Montresor]

I beat Vanquish on hard last week - what an awesome, exhilarating experience. My opinion last week: fantastic shooter! 5/5!

This week I've been mopping up miscellaneous achievements on auto casual trying to get Pangloss statues and trying to have no deaths in a play-through. My opinion: I'm getting very annoyed with this game.

Thankfully I just have one achievement left: Flyswatter, which is surprisingly difficult. Then I'll be at 950/1000 and be content (I won't try the challenges).

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Well, did really poor this month. Only got 1 trophy lol.

 

[Wowbagger]

This week I've been mopping up miscellaneous achievements on auto casual trying to get Pangloss statues and trying to have no deaths in a play-through. My opinion: I'm getting very annoyed with this game.

Hidden collectibles have no place in fast-paced action games, especially not in one as frenetic as Vanquish. Some of those statues are hidden in absurd places, like the blink-and-you'll-miss-it one on one of the trains, or the one that's hidden in one of only a handful of destructible boxes in the game. Trying to find them all completely ruins the pace of the game, and I very much doubt anyone did it without the help of a guide or getting seriously annoyed.
