Achieve Trophies | August 2012 Thread | Hakooma Matata

I'm with Everybody's Golf lately, I consider myself a veteran with the series and yet it's hard as fuck.
Yep it really is. I sold my copy not just cos it was hard. It's just a grind using characters I hate lol. The only vita title I won't 100% so far
 
Goals (August)
complete Dawnguard DLC (250/250) ✓
complete 50 Cent: BotS (900/1000)
Sleeping Dogs 800+/1000

Took me about 20h to complete the Dawnguard DLC

I really liked the story, but the gameplay is indeed not up to par with the PS3 versions because of the touch stuff. Then again, if you finish the (touch) puzzles one time you don't have to complete them anymore on subsequent playthroughs. It's just jarring how they decide to break up the flow of the game to introduce that stuff.

The shooting and platforming is still great though.

Thanks for the reply, everyone.

I think I'll see if I can pick it up used/cheap. I was just ignoring its existence. I do still have an unloaded MGSHD and SoundShapes to even start playing on Vita. Not to mention HSG and VT to work for trophies on.
I really love my Vita.
 
Has anyone here any experience with Stardrone for Vita?

the achievements seem reasonable.

I'm wondering this as well.

Until my "you cannot fund your wallet/buying error" on PS3 fixes itself I'll be playing my Vita (Dungeon Hunter and Gravity Rush) and my 360 backlog (Homefront SP).

I'm on the third world, seems easy and fun enough. Getting a medal on each might be a tad frustrating but if there's a video guide it's probably easy.

You get the PS3 Stardrone too if you buy it.
 
If you had a lot of trophies,that's actually fairly common. It will error out a bunch, but just keep going at it and it will eventually sync them all and be fine.

Thanks for the feedback =3
Just a few more days and I'll Plat. Jak 1, fitting that it would be my 20th Platinum T^T
 
How is Shadows of the Damned in terms of Platinum'ing? Thinking about ordering it very soon.

Also gonna order Yakuza 4, but that's an over-time trophy hunt for me haha.
 
Are the Sound Shapes servers down for anyone else? Trying to sync my save so I can pop my plat on the Vita, but I keep getting error'd out of it.
 
I picked up all alarm clocks in Alan Wake - The Signal, but it only shows 9/10 in the statistics.

I double checked it , I definitely picked them all up, but one didn't count apparently.

Did anyone else have this problem ?

Also if I have to move my save game to do them all again, do I have to play through the whole game again in order to play The Signal ?
 
Yeah Shadows of the Damned Trophy is do-able but man is Hard mode a pain in the ass.

At any rate
20TH
PLATINUM
GET-O!

Might take a while to update, but man...feelsgood.gif
 
Metal gear solid 2 platinum. Fuckkkkk yeaaaahh. Ray fight was pretty simple. I just made them fire their lasers, knee head pop one of the others in the head. Repeat till dead, knee, head the other 2 and repeat laser. Only took 4 tries to get tht down. And last boss was as easy as ever. I feel so good right now.

I think I'm gonna start lurking this thread and not carry the Trophy Banner that much

Got some bad messages from some people on PS3 =/

Oh wells, I'll go quiet for awhile

Steve remove my card if you can, Please

Have fun guys, I'll still be around

Holy shit are you serious? I will honor your request but damn that's sad if people make you wanna go that far.

I can understand you don't want to get specific about it, but still sad to see you off of the leaderboard. If you want to speak up in private about it that's cool too.

Thanks for inspiring a lot of us.

Uh what happened mate, if you don't mind me asking?
 
Best Buy is having a super secret sale, and I am going to score as many titles listed and additionally as I can. Now that I have reliable income, I can purchase sale games without feeling guilty. One might regret accumulating a bulbous backlog, but I sleep soundly appreciating a good deal and anticipating the opportunity to play games at my leisure. The titles I'm searching on sale:
Bulletstorm, Rage, Dead Space 2

Those generally on the cheap:
Dead Space, Bioshock 1&2, Vanquish

Amazon has MGS HD Collection dropped to $30, DMC HD Collection at $25, and Street Fighter x Tekken at a generous $22.50. This may prove to be a robust Monday. Knocking out Bayonetta trophies today and tomorrow.
 
I'm not in this thread tracking wise, but I'm feeling pretty pumped!

I just finished Spec Ops on FUBAR and it was up there with Hard cheeves I've actually finished!
My account is DingotechUS if you want to add, but it hasn't been online yet.

Games finished -

Spec Ops
Kingdoms of Amalur
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Prototype 2

I started this account just to make sure I get achievements and finish games!! I'm up to 4,000 points now.

Bad messages from random people? Is it possible to just ban messages from random gamers, and only accept them from your friends list?

Sorry to see this happened, and that it affected you so negatively. =( I hope you keep posting here. Even though I'm not a PS3 gamer I still love seeing everyone in the thread, including you, talk about making big progress with completions.

I think it's the DeeDubs guy who makes me say, "That fucker" and "Attaboy" at the same time with all his 1000s recently, hahaa.

Progress: Just got the last Honest Hearts achievement to bring myself up to 1165/1655 in Fallout New Vegas. I'm about to start Dead Money.
 
Platinum #8 Saints Row: The Third

And I loved the game, so much more freedom to have fun and do things how you want to than GTA.

Now to contemplate getting the DLC to extend my enjoyment and to get my Platinum from 65% up to a 100%
 
Finally:


now I can finally go back to Xenoblade Chronicles.

Wow. In the first week. That's some dedication.


Got a good streak by platting Ratchet HD (aka nonactively grinding bolts to a milli, scared of a second YLOD in this hot weather lol) and Ratchet 2 HD as well.

I first got introduced to Ratchet on PS3 via the R&C Future series. It was really hard for me to play the first game without stuff like strafing and the ABYSMAL checkpointing. I was getting Jak collection flashbacks jeez. Though I had to remember this game is 10 years old now. How far we've come....


Ratchet 2 was WAAAAYYY better already and resembled the current PS3 games much more. I got right in the zone with that game, used the great Skillpoint/Bolt guides from PS3trophies.org (great job on those, user Ben-Gun!), and grinded out the max bolts quite easily for the plat.

Kinda burned out on Ratchet this month because I played A4O, Ratchet 1 & 2 pretty much back to back. Gonna save Up Your Arsenal for later, probably taking a bite into Asura's Wrath since that seems to be a somewhat laidback experience (gameplay wise).

Also been pleasantly surprised by Stardrone Extreme for Vita. I can recommend it to anyone because the mechanics are solid. Graphics are simple but functional and the music is good. Still need to complete about 12 levels and then cloud sync for that glorious 15 trophy pop on PS3 :D
 
Man congrats. How long did it take?

Total time around 5 days, 21 hours (from first trophy till platinum).

Actual gameplay wise - well the last 6 playthroughs took around 3 hours each. I got the "all flashbacks" trophy during that, which meant around an additional 2 hours for that playthrough.

The BBE was around 3 hours 30 minutes, but with a bit of restarting. For chicken (first playthrough) I left my PS3 on for 2 nights and 1 day (switched it off inbetween).

Finished BBE on friday (started on thursday). 2 additional playthroughs on friday as well. 3 yesterday. And the final one today.

without having to go to work during the week, I would have been way faster ;)


btw. first achiever was a Japanese player on thursday 6am. And it seems that one copied his save for some other Japanese players, which they used to get platinum right afterwards (someone at ps3trophies saw it on a forum).
 
#11 and #12 Sound Shapes
Started it yesterday morning, all done with today. Still have to sync the ps3 trophies, but yall know the deal.

Will probably still play and make music every here and there.
