Platinum #80: Ratchet & Clank

Probably one of the most fun games I've played this gen, and it's a mid-life PS2 game. Gonna start up the next one immediately.



I'm actually not opposed to playing All 4 One with a little Achieve Trophies group. Certainly beats going at it alone!

I wouldn't mind doing that actualy, I've been through the game once before but I have alot of stuff to clean up. Let me know if/when you're looking to do it!

Just got my first platinum trophy.

Rayman Origins Vita

Already got the 1k on the 360 when the game came out. Probably my favorite game this generation so I decided to get the platinum even though I usually don't care about trophies.
 
Going to try and finish up PSABR on PS3 this weekend, and knock out a few trophies in Max Payne 3 and Infamous 2.

I also started Dishonored last night but that seems like a pretty tedious/annoying game to plat. I may just go for all the story trophies and call it good.

I'm actually really enjoying just going back and cleaning up trophies in games I started earlier this year. I usually just put on some music and relax while doing it.
 
Platinum #107 - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3)
Finally wrapped up the online trophies after suffering through a ton of connection issues. That and the boring arcade mode really lets down a game with fantastically designed gameplay. It's so fun to play, it's just the support of that that really hurts. Quite disappointing really. If they can fix a lot of this stuff with patches and bring out interesting DLC, I could see myself being dragged back in.

I managed to wrap up the online trophies on Vita as well, so I've just got to grind through the remaining 18 arcade modes to get the platinum. I'll probably do that tonight or tomorrow.

Synced my Vita trophies for the first time. Love the trophy app on this.

just a heads up, I have a really busy weekend so the thread is probably.going up on Monday. Also switching over to Psnprofiles so all the gamercards should be updated and synched properly by then.

played some testmatches in Tranzit with Returners earlier before I was called away. Need to learn the maps a little more :)

Anyone who played Ratchet & Clank 2 have issues getting the Old Skool skill point? Damn thing isn't popping for me even though I'm making sure enemies don't die to enemy fire..

Yay!!


Finally finished the challenges in Black Ops II. Hitting Prestige in MP doesn't really hold any sway and I never really liked Zombies, so I think I'm done and trading this guy into BB for $42.

Start AC3:Lib last night or at least the MP. Ye gods what were they thinking?

I can see the idea behind it, but it's the equivalent of making a game about Dinosaurs vs Humans. No one's gonna play as the lame humans (Templars) if the alternative is playing as DINOSAURS (Assassins).

Platinum #81: Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando

You'd think I'd be burnt out playing the first and second game in a row, but I'm rarin' to go for the third. Jesus.

Imma cry. Got careless.

Speaking of which, my nephew wanted to try Eyepet & Friends. So for the past 7 hrs, I grinded away at the different costumes for his account. I was happy though, got a plat out of it. :D

Got the PSASBR platinum, ridiculously easy.

Anyone else hate the new trophy "app" for PS3? How it syncs when you're ingame, then you have to wait to back out? Sometimes the wait is way too long.

press triangle, switch it to offline mode
still annoying where they put it though
 
Platinum #108 - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PSV)
And that's the other one. For a game that gets the gameplay so right, arcade mode sure does suck. The long time limits for the first four fights drag the entire thing down so much. A couple of simple improvements I can come up with is cutting down on the amount of fights (from 8 to 5 or 6) and alternating the rules for each fight.

Killzone HD is next.

Sorry Returners and StevePharma I've been working all weekend and not getting home till later than expected, at work now as well. Mix in a wife date night (watched Ted and laughed my ass off) means I wasn't a very good Black Ops Zombie wingman. Did you guys manage to get the Babble achievement?

Despite being busy the last few days I did hit a few milestones in November. I reached 3000 trophies and am very close to trophy level 20. I also reached 2600 achievements and a total gamerscore of 60,000!

There's no December thread this month?

I'll post this here but if a new December thread pops up and buries this thread, I'll re-post there if necessary.

A long time ago I asked achieve/trophy-gaf for tips on Sleeping Dogs.

Graverobber told me to buy an item that increases your Triad score. Is this an item I buy with real money at the marketplace (I don't care if I have to do this, lol). Or did he mean a specific item at an in-game store?

Also, someone mentioned marking off open-world events. All I've seen are green triad missions, blue cop cases, and yellow favours.

In game clothing stores have items which boost Triad score. Buy then as early as possible...I didn't and I basically can't max out my Triad level for that achievement now.

WHAT? Damn. You can't even max it out replaying missions either?

Edit: Also... you were still able to get 1000 / Platinum weren't you? Now that I look at it, I don't see an achievement for maxing out your Triad level.

Unlock ten Triad Upgrades.

That means earn enough XP to reach Triad Level 10, cause 10 locked upgrades get unlocked

Same goes for Super Cop, but it's easier

I told ya to buy in-game store items
It's in the city area (Central?) store starts with an A, its located right near a ramp to the highway, it's the same store where you pick up your suits for the Wedding (mission)

The Mountaineer set, it adds 15% bonus if you wear the whole set (shirt/pants/boots)

You can replay all the Triad missions with that set on, increase your overall score to boost your XP

Thing is once you start filling those 3 Red Triangles and your score isn't way higher like +500 than the last time you played the mission, yu will gain minimal xp, and you will get assed out of cheev

Then you really need to buy DLC, 2 versions a Silver or Gold Pack, pricey shitty DLC

Funny enough if you had pre-ordered @ Gamestop, you earned a bonus mission, where you go back to the monks temple, you can play that infinitely and get rewarded handsomely in Triad XP

The clothes appear roughly 35% into storyline, so buy ASAP, play missions with it on
Then when finished (see which missions you did horrible, like half to a 1 full triangle filled, replay those, score high (hopefully you have unlocked all combo moves and wei is wei'd the fuck out)
Never repeat combos, always do something else
Doing the same arm break move will get you less and less points

The achievement is for unlocking 10 Triad upgrades...you get so little experience from replaying missions that I calculated it would've taken me around 30 hours to get it. Not worth it.

Thanks a ton man! I guess I'm far too early in the game to get the Mountaneer set. But I did buy the Jiggler set, or whatever it's called (ugly ass green football jersey), and it's giving me 5% extra Triad exp right now.

The achievement is for unlocking 10 Triad upgrades...you get so little experience from replaying missions that I calculated it would've taken me around 30 hours to get it. Not worth it.

Yeah, for some reason I assumed that there would be more than 10 Triad levels, that's why I glossed over the 10 Triad upgrades achievement.

Sleeping Dogs is an amazing game. <3

The only thing I really didn't like so far was
Wei Shen getting uppity about Tiffany cheating. For real? I just slept around with a techie and Emma Stone. That was such a dumb ass sequence.

But I love the game otherwise!
 
Yup I should've read this page. Thanks though.

As always I love stevepharma and his efforts. =)

Thanks :D

Sadly pharmacy stuff takes a big chunk out of my time right now, I'm trying to post the thread Wednesday. I know I know, please bear with me :).... won't happen as much next year I promise!

Oh and fate started to troll me by dropping Persona 4 Golden on my doorstep. So A, I can't play much right now and B, Persona 4 will eat away my trophy gaining on Vita for a couple of months lol.

nah, we didn't get far. :(

Next weekend I'm free to do it, as well as every weekend after that. So we'll get to it somehow!

I always assumed it was him acting out how a yakuza would be if he found out one of his girls was cheating and not actually really having true feelings for her.

Feel like I'm juggling way too many games at the same time. Shifted my focus to Ben 10: Galactic Racing on the Vita. December goal is to finish that and at least one other title, and reach level 25.

What are the Sleeping Dog DLCs that have missions? Aside from the Nightmare dlc? There's so many DLCs.

I think that the only ones with missions are:

SWAT pack
Police Protection pack
Street Racer pack
 
I wouldn't mind doing that actualy, I've been through the game once before but I have alot of stuff to clean up. Let me know if/when you're looking to do it!

Same here I'd love to play through on co-op if schedule allows it. I usually game in the late evenings sun-wed

Platinum #82: Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal

A few mixed feelings over this one, but man if this trilogy hasn't been some of the most fun I've had this gen. Makes me wanna pick up Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty before I move onto A Crack in Time so I can get a proper setup to the Future trilogy despite them not having any trophies.

107 1/2 hours later and i finally have the Tales of Graces platinum.
Never again.

This post is awesome. Hahaha, the things we do for dat platinum/completion.

Anyhow, I was able to boost the five new Max Payne 3 DLC achievements. It feels soooo good to still have that game completed (1375/1375). I can't wait until the new DLC comes out because I wanna round that out to an even 1500.

The boosting session took so long to set up that I wasn't able to play any of the maps "normally." But when I come home from work tonight i'll probably do a bit of Sleeping Dogs and a bit of Max Payne 3 multiplayer for fun.

At least you don't have to go for the beast that is Vesperia's plat! Xillia's is a lot simpler though, if you're planning on getting that.

I know but I have got Vesperia. sat on my Xbox hardrive calling me.... but it will wait for a while. Got too many games to play before I start up another long one. My ps+ backlog is months old.

Anyone playing Uncarded?

edit: never mind, just had the most LOL thing happen to me.

I'm hoping to try it tonight. For $5 and a few trophies it doesn't look to bad. Also gonna get the Ni No Kuni demo as I've been keeping an eye on that one for awhile. Only thing that may hold me back from PS3/Vita tonight is Skyrim on 360. I need 1 more achievement for the 1550/1550 after getting the new Dragonborn DLC.

Platinum #123
Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault

Fun game, Co-op is a blast if you have the right person and communicate
Online is iffy, sometimes the game hangs =/, net code is sub-par (patch please)
If you get 2 vs 2 with mics, it's Glorious!

Welp Got Platinum, so close to having all Insomniac [Franchise] Platinums (stupid R&C 3 Glitch)

Anyone get 100% trophies or achievements on Fighting Vipers? I looked at a guide but I just can't get....

Skirt Destoryer - 60
Arcade Mode: unequip Candy's armor each stage, or destroy Candy's lower armor 10 times in a row.

Anyone have tips?

Only one I need for the 400/400... It's driving me nuts.

I assume this is where I should post this, but if not sorry. I just picked up Unit 13 and finished a few missions. Now I'm trying to get the 3 online trophies out of the way, just because I hate online trophies because if nobody plays it anymore then you're out of luck. Well, nobody is really playing. So I was wondering if I could add anybody so I could try to get the trophy to beat a friends time, and possibly play some co-op to get the other trophy. My PSN ID is JeremyHilaryBoob (Nobody ever knows where my name is from, but if you do know then you're awesome.)
