Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@WCB nice bud glad you enjoyed it. I too had my fill by the time I'd plat'd the main game. Now I've had a break the dlc could be a good shout for me at some point.

@colonelkilgore thanks. The 3 pieces of dlc furthers the story and ramps up the difficulty a bit. And that honey Black Cat returns. It's well worth playing imo. But I'm glad to see the back of Screwball. It's not that it's that hard but it can get frustrating with some of the challenges.

@RogerRoger 👍

@colonelkilgore It must be massively more difficult to do if you are relying on other people so hats off to you for persevering.

@RogerRoger thanks, mate. I should point out I already had the platinum though, I just finished up 7 DLC trophies I was missing.

On the subject of Screwball, I agree with you she is a good character. I don't find her annoying just her challenges can get frustrating is all. The combat ones are fine, pretty easy actually, and the gadget ones are too once you know what you're doing, just a matter of getting as many photobombs as possible. The stealth and bomb challenges had me looking up vids for the best routes to take, and really what was the most frustrating was my mediocre web slinging skills lol.

@render cheers buddy but it was honestly more maintaining the motivation to persevere with the lonely grind than anything else. And as terrible as it sounds, I kinda think I’ll always feel ‘different’ about the guys who committed to the task and then flaked… I mean I’m not gonna let in effect our relationships but deep down I think I’ll always be slightly annoyed… as ridiculous as that sounds.

I can't believe they flaked after the first session haha. I would have been pissed.

@WCB I know right… good to know it’s not just me 🍻

@colonelkilgore I can appreciate that. Shows you don't really know someone until you've played Division 2 with them 😅

@WCB I missed your Spider-Man plat and 100%, congrats on that. I went straight from the main game into the DLC and just generally enjoyed the game but can appreciate also if you felt like you'd had enough at one point. You made it though and that's what counts!

Words to live by @render 🤣

Just managed to pop the major online trophy (there’s two but only one takes any real effort) for Everybody’s Golf so even though the servers are closing in September, I’ll never be locked out of the Platinum now. Still a helluva lot of time and effort to get anywhere near plat’n it as it’s a monster but I’ve given myself some leeway.

@colonelkilgore congrats on the trophy, I know its not a plat but some trophies are more worthy of praise than some plats because of the effort involved in popping that certain one.

Managed to get 2 plats this weekend, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3. Still got 3 trophies to go for the plat on mass effect 2 so I'll slowly work through that to complete the hat-trick.

@colonelkilgore Nice work on that online trophy. It doesn't even seen that old for the servers to be shutdown already. Always a shame when they can't find a way of keeping these things alive but I don't know what the player base is like to know if there's enough people to warrant it.

@MaulTsir Congrats on those ME plats. I've got the plat for 1 and will hopefully work on 2 and 3 this year.

@MaulTsir cheers dude, it wasn’t as bad as I was imagining it would be in all honesty… but still, glad to have squared it away. Congrats on your 2 new shineys also, I’m looking forward to returning to Mass Effect… good to know you enjoyed it so much all these years later.

Thanks @render, yeah it’s a shame as the game is a lot of fun. As a platinum hunter, online trophies on older games are the bane of gaming!

@render cheers buddy, I think ME2 has the most grindy trophies out of the 3, but I always make multiple saves for different stages of the game so I can just jump in where I need to. Shouldn't take to long but I'm not going to spend all my time on it. Good luck in your hunt for the other 2.

@colonelkilgore online trophies should have their own category me thinks!

Cheers, honestly after all these years it's Still definitely in my top 5, you can just tell how much love and effort went in to making these games, the lore, the story, the character development, the ugly issues, the humour. The gameplay is actually nothing ground breaking and across all 3 you can see that they've tried to shake it up in the way you upgrade gear in each game and each time I think feels worse than the last, that's probably only gripe. I think I'm on of the few who prefers number 1 to number 2 and 3 for the actual way the weapons and upgrades worked.

There's a part in mass effect 3 where Joker is explaining to EDI (An AI) what a joke is and I remember years ago as a 20 year old thinking it was funny because it was obvious AI's would struggle to understand humour, now 10+ years later I laughed because there's alot of people who could do with explaining what a joke is not just AI's 🤣

@RogerRoger 🍻 - up there for thinking and down there for… um… twiddling thumb-sticks (I suppose) 😉. Cheers buddy

Finally finished off that NG+ for the Miles Morales platinum. Not a hard one but still surprisingly only a 7% earn percentage among players.

@Th3solution congrats buddy, such a great little game. I actually liked it quite a bit more that Spider-man… really think that Sony should pump out a little expandalone side-part to all of their big AAA’s.

Anyone else excited about PS1 games having trophies? I was excited to go back to playing Kurushi anyway but with trophies too!

I'm hoping when the full list of PS1 games comes out there's plenty of the old classics that I like. I've probably platinumed the likes of metal gear solid, silent hill, tomb raider, broken sword, tekken 2, jumping flash etc. ten times over at this point, so it'd be nice to go back to games - some I haven't played for many years - and get some trophies for my trouble.

@johncalmc I think it’s great… but I have such a huge backlog atm that the thought of adding in a load of PS1 and PS2 games is low down on the priority list. I’m sure that something will catch my eye though… MGS being the most likely.
