#174 Infamous Second Son (PS4)
Went back to do the evil run, expert mode and a few miscellaneous trophies . Fairly short and really quite enjoyable, there should be more third person superhero/villain games imo. Just short of six years after my first play through!
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan congrats on cleaning that up. I’m yet to play the two PS4 inFAMOUS games but am a massive fan of the two PS3 games. Hopefully I’ll find time to play Second Son and First Light at some point in the not-too-distant.
Not sure if you ever played Saints Row 4 or not but… while it’s deffo not in the same league as the inFAMOUS games, it’s a decent open world superhero trip… if you’re ever looking for another one 👍
@sorteddan Hey Dan, I'm having some trouble with the Helldivers trophy "Defender of Humanity".
I've logged in every day for a few weeks now and never seen a "Defend the capital" event, I have just logged in and not done anything...if the message DEFEND isn't on the map then I log out.
Now am I right in thinking these are real time 4 hour events, so they could occur at 2am til 6am when I giving it big Zzzzs. It seems a pretty BS trophy.because of that.
Thanks in advance for any help.
@CaptD
Yeah unfortunately like much of the events in the game it's pretty random in occuring. When you see an assault on enemy homeworld, make a note of when it's ending. If it fails I think it moves to an automatic defence (not sure how long these last). But I think you're right, I've been playing every day for a while now and don't recall seeing one either. Guess the community is proving too successful in completing assaults!
However I think that given the amount of time you will have to spend to get all the other trophies ( particularly 100k kills and xp for level 25) you should stumble into one at some point... Hopefully.

Ping ... Sniper Elite 5
Good game although not quite as good as SE4 but I did enjoy strolling around the French countryside
A bit of a grind with the weapon mastering which imo is a step back from the SE4 weapon mastery system.
Thankfully there is a trick and that is to save, kill and then reload so I knocked out about a dozen soldiers, put them all in a row, saved and then popped their heads one by one. I repeated this for nearly 300 pistol rounds and then the assault guns which I hadn't used. I was actually starting to feel a bit bad especially as you would get the odd groan out of soldier.
I feel if I was streaming it I would be on trial in The Hague right about now.
Unfortunately the dlc for this game is a bit of a mess with multiple season passes which I won't support so after five games my Sniper 100 percentages have been broken. My previous 100% are V2 (PS3 and PS4), SE3, SE4 and SE VR.
@CaptD made some pretty short work of that dude fair play. Bit disappointing that it didn’t quite hit the SE4 highs but still sounds like an enjoyable experience.
@CaptD Not that I need another game or (worse yet) another series to pile onto my backlog, but if I were to try out a Sniper Elite game, would 4 be the best to start with, or would I be overwhelmed by it by jumping into a late entry? And similarly, do you think playing SE4 first would ruin any enjoyment of going backwards to the older games?
I’m really not a shooter guy and especially military shooters are not my thing. But a lot of that is due to my very average hand-eye coordination and reaction time and disdain for multiplayer (mostly because I’m so bad at it)
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah I recommend 4 , 2 (remastered) is pretty good as well but 4 is the most refined and fun. (Note to sniper elite fans, they removed Trip mines from SE5)
I suggest the complete edition as the dlc for SE4 is very good and it is on sale fairly often (£7 seems to be the usual price). Judging by the price history chart it will be on sale next week.
You won't be out of the loop storywise as there really isn't much of story , just a lone soldier plus all the stories seem to be very similar.
@CaptD Nice work on finishing off that SE5 plat in short order. I'm planning on hooking up with @AgentCooper for those online trophies. Haven't managed to play much more besides but interesting to know about the changes from 4. Shame that they are almost a backwards step.
Just got the Astro's Playroom platinum. Now have 102 total. Several told me that should've been my first PS5 plat, but I had long planned for Stray. Well, made it the second one! I really enjoyed it. Wish they would make a full length game with Astro for PS5. He's adorable!
Platinum #144 - Mass Effect - was the game I bought a 360 for back in the day and I loved it back then. All these years later it actually took me a while to get into it… but I eventually did.
Platinum #145 - Far Cry 6 - I love the series and this was one of the best (prob 2nd behind FC5).
Platinum #146 - Chronos before the Ashes - nice little souls-like and a lovely flashback to Remnant from the Ashes.
@colonelkilgore Nice trio, FC6 was indeed excellent. I've just started another Ubisoft game, Immortal Fenyx Rising. Very good so far and quite surprised how good the writing and characters are, it amazes me that they seem to have decent writers and actors on AC, FC but then a load of chuff on The Crew and Riders Republic.
@sorteddan Finally got that Helldivers trophy, the community clearly went through their training missions again and got gud.
@CaptD nice dude, saw you mention the troubles you were having with that Helldivers trophy the other day, so I’m glad you finally got it… also, you’ll have to give me some pointers on it asi still want to make a start on the game at some point.
Also, glad you’re enjoying Immortals: Fenix Rising. It looks good fair play, will have yo find a spare 80 hours to give it a go I reckon 😅
@CaptD
Oh nice. That's another one that you don't have to look out for, guessing most of the remaining ones require time, luck or talent on your part rather than having to rely on the community. As for me I've figured an exploit to grind kills at a higher rate so now up to around 85k, should be hopefully done in a few days.
