Seriously the worst thing to ever happen to achievements.
THANKS PERFECT DARK ZERO
Oh i completely missed them.
Collectathon trophies AND multiplayer trophies. What a combination

Welp. Thanks a ton though. Really looking forward to this game.

I secretly love Collectathon trophies... In some ways I think it encourages the player to scour the environment and appreciate little things developers created in the world.
Give me this game noooow!

Collectathon trophies are fine by me. But if I see MP trophies, or even various difficulty trophies, I kiss that platinum goodbye.

Yea, I hope they take the MP out PSB:AS too since competitive MP somehow isn't ideal for a handheld.
So wait, SP AC same like PS3 is 'great!', but MP AC same as PS3 is somehow 'not ideal for a handheld'? How does that work? Let's face it, Vita could've handled MP just fine, maybe in smaller groups 4 vs. 4. For some reason Ubisoft decided to handle to differently. My guess would be they simply do not have faith in Vita and opted to just throw something together.

My guess is they didn't have time/manpower. What does faith have to do with it? I agree that Vita should have no problem with robust multiplayer modes.
Anyway, lol @ that trophy list. No platinum for me.

Exactly, time & manpower.

You're all babies! I'm going all GraveRobberX on this game. You can't beat me Ubisoft!
I could barely make it through reading the entire trophy list... I have no chance at the plat
It is nice to see Sony actually advertising this, not only do they seem to be running their own adverts for AC3 here in the UK while showing Liberation next to it at the end of it they are running separate adverts for Liberation on its own.
I wish I wasn't waiting till Christmas to get both of these, that was a bad decision on my part, my mum wanted to get me something so I throw them both out.

Uhhh, that's what I was saying. Look at what I was responding to and you'll see that is sarcasm in the beginning. I was saying the Vita can very well handle MP that would fit just fine so the old belief that handhelds shouldn't do competitive MP is ridiculous. It's different times.
Basically, you're saying the same thing I am...lol
Taking this avy!
Awesome OT!
I'm short on cash, so I'm picking this up before AC: III. I guess it'll work out, as I want to see this side story's conclusion before Desmonds anyways.
Already taken. I couldn't update it from the computer I'm at currently.
Sorry.
EDIT: If you want, I could make a similar one a few hours from now.

On the other hand, that's actually a good thing. Having a budget the size of one of the console installments, with everything outsourced between 3-5 studios is a BAD thing for the Vita because it would be an enormous bomb. Whereas the way it is now, developed by a relatively small team at Ubisoft Sofia, there's a much greater chance it'll be successful.
Oh god, why do I always forget this thing exists!
*checks digital manual*
Yup.

Those MP trophies are brutal.
I guess I'm in no rush for this game now.

No I mean they both play similarly, Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation.

You're really not going to buy it because of that? We don't even know what multiplayer is like yet.

I usually worry about getting games near launch if the MP trophies aren't too bad because that is when the MP modes are most active and you can knock them out quickly. I'm guessing this is even more pressing when the MP you're about to play is on a platform that may not be performing that well at retail.
(AC MP in generally is always slower too so... :/)
I've got little to no chance of getting these ones so I can wait quite a bit before I get the game ... I'll still get it.
... just note that the Assassin's Creed MP is the onlycompetitive multi-player I've played that I've enjoyed this whole generation.
While I'm not supporting the "don't buy it because of MP trophies" thing, we trophy whores don't care what the MP is like. Most of us will not bother playing it and will not go for platinum's with MP trophies that go beyond anything like win a game or play a single game.

I'm the same way. I feel really shy when it comes to MP. I don't mind collectathon trophies as much as I should, but MP trophies? No thanks.
I feel the same about AC2's soundtrack, actually. It's definitely one of my favourite soundtracks of the generation now that I can finally put some context behind it. In terms of atmosphere and narrative, I think I like AC2 the best. But in terms of mechanics, I might give the edge to Brotherhood. Throw townbuilding into a video game and I'm not able to resist at all.

Yet you haven't even bothered to read the thread and find out that Liberation's multiplayer is completely different. For all we know, Liberation's MP matches could last a minute each. Either way, I got AssBro's platinum, I'll get this one.
Um, I've got a few trophies myself and you'll never find me skipping a game I want to play just because of MP trophies. That's completely ridiculous. If I really want the platinum and there are MP trophies, I'll put the effort in and get them. If not, I'll get all the trophies I can and leave the rest.

I think I might get this, I'm coming into that free time. Wish I had more cash though.

White Vita looks nice.
(Not me btw)
I'm never going to skip a game because of online trophies either but I'm not going to try to get them if they're anything more than what I said. Like I really don't want to play AC:L's MP to max rank, or any AC game's MP to max.
Most dedicated trophy/achievement places I've been to seem to be very turned off on the idea of online achievements/trophies. You've got people like me who detest playing multiplayer, you've got people who hate them because they're almost always poorly designed and can ruin the fun of the game, you've got people who hate them because there's effectively a time limit on them before the servers shut down and then you can never get 100%, and then you have people who don't want to do them simply because they can take a really long time (gears of wars' 50 bajillion kills, getting max rank in a game that can take 50+ hours). They're just a bad idea in general to have.
EU doesn't do those logos, it's in the NA version. It's also a pretty meaningless logo.

That Vita is sexy. I'm waiting for Tuesday to pick it up.
Wierd, all my EU Vitagames (that are exclusive) have that logo. Gravity rush and Wipeout for instance.
EU does do those logos. It's on my Uncharted box.
From launch day
Right, but they do it for IP's that they own. SCEA will put it every time they get an exclusive, even if it's only exclusive content (like AC Brotherhood).
Oh I see. That's different.

I hate online trophies as much as anyone else but my problem was him saying that he wouldn't get it.

Yet you can see right there in your own picture that Lumines doesn't have it. It depends entirely on the publisher. Namco likes it, so they threw it on Shinobido 2, Tales of Graces F, etc. Ubisoft doesn't, so it's not on Lumines, AC3 Liberation or their HD Collections. Nor do Square Enix Europe for that matter (as its not on my Army Corps of Hell case).
And let's not pretend like it's binding anyway. There've been a number of games with "exclusive" thrown on the box that weren't exclusive at all.
In other words, it doesn't mean anything.

Hopefully max level in multi isn't as time consuming as the console games. I was glad Rev only had you get to lv10 or something. Never got a Bro platinum because of that max level trophy.

Wait so this game doesn't have real multiplayer? It just went from first day to second week. I'll be getting ragnarok and need for speed before this.
It doesn't? What the hell is it then? I might be interested if it's not something like what was in ACB and ACR.

Didn't some gaffer say something about asynchronous multiplayer? If so my hype for this game is gone. I want a full AC experience.
