Phew, so now how do I get the second platinum on the Vita version, just copy the save over? or is it automatic?

Go into options on the vita version and sync the cloud save. Load up the PS3 version and then do the same thing. If it doesn't work, exit the game, log out of PSN then try it while logged out. If will connect again to PSN when the PS3 game tries to sync.
 
Started Sleeping Dogs today and love it so far. After about 6h I got 13/50 achievements worth 135GS. Overall it's a pretty easy achievement list, some of them might be time consuming.

Don't know much about it, just seen lots of ads on TV. Is it fairly linear or does it have a sandbox environment with stories you approach like GTA?
 
1000'd Batman AA again on my friends 360 account, he sucked at the challenges so I did all of them for him.

I still got it, Arkham city better hurry up and drop in price.
 
Platinum #96 - Sound Shapes
Platinum #97 - Sound Shapes

It's bizarre how quickly I went from loving the game to hating it. I'm not sure I'd say all the Death Mode levels are really hard, as they're all possible with persistence but they are incredibly frustrating. The random aspect to them just sucks, often making you rely more on luck than skill.

Still a fantastic game though.

So that's the third and fourth platinum this month. I want to get Papo & Yo done next and then I'll probably start working on Jak II.

Yup, I figured it out in the end once I got past it not connecting to the server properly, I might have to move onto Motorstorm RC seeing how easy it is to get two platinums for one purchase, lol.

I felt the same way, I enjoyed most of the normal game but the Death levels are ridiculous, the only trophies more annoying than ones based on luck are online trophies, but most of the time they are just a time waste while luck ones might never come about.

Reminds me of the PvZ "Lucky Spin" trophy, I spent weeks and weeks trying to get that trophy and never did till they patched it, really annoying.
 
Just finished the Darkness 2 1000, a really fun game.

Now my new account has 5,000 points.

Thinking I might start Sleeping Dogs next.
 
Started playing Peace Walker again, if someone wants to help me with the trade and versus ops all rules trophies, add me(PSN id:KaizorPenguin). I also need Vic vos, which seems impossible without a partner. How long does it take to earn camaderie?
 
Platted R&C 3 (dat grinding, I am so burned out on Ratchet right now it's not even funny. Liked Up Your Arsenal the best though) and working on Mutant Blobs Attack. Too bad Carl is banned because he told a lot of GAFers to get it. He was right. Game is incredibly charming and I can't wait to try out Guacamelee now.

Might go on a silver/gold hunt in my backlog now. Found Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. Let's do this!

Oh and since I cleared DS2 Hardcore Mode earlier I decided to mop up the Severed DLC with my newly unlocked Foam Hand. Wow. That was a fun 30 min. lol.
 
Hybrid Hybrid Hybrid, I'm really gonna have to wait two weeks for a 50/50 chance of getting this achievement aren't I?

this game is such a GRIND! So many other games I could have at least beaten the story in this past week, yet I spent all my time grinding in Hybrid.

If this achievement list for Counter Strike is true you can expect some grinding too. It's only 12 for 200GS but I believe they have to be 400 now. I know the PC has alot of achievements so this maybe a half list. Also nothing about PS3 and if it has a plat.

Someone posted this on 360achievements.org but it originally comes from a 360 save hacking site. That site has screen shots of the achievements in game. LINK

Let me know if posting that link is not allowed and I'll remove it. The 360achievements.org thread is here.
 
36th platinum GET! Sly 3 is finally finished, and while there were some good parts, like episodes 3 and 5, overall it was an incredibly tedious experience.

EDIT: Started going for Vic vos in Peace Walker, I've only played a few rounds of versus ops, and I'm already at 10 000 camaraderie.
 
That's back to the future platinumed. No. 7 this month and what a pile of shit it was. Never got through 1 episode at night without falling asleep and waking up about 4 hours later. Lol. But my terrible faux OCD would'nt let me not carry on with it. Glad the walking dead is about 100x better. Dunno what to play next. So might go play some Xenoblade. Have abandoned it for almost 2 months.

The platinum took me 20 hours or so, which is actually pretty low for an open world game.

I disagree, the Death Mode levels are the best part of SS, yes they're hard, yes its trial&error, but its very addicting lol.

I liked Beat School the most. It was mostly very easy and trivial but it was like a puzzle game. I'd be cool with DLC or a whole game based off of a more fleshed-out Beat School.
 
blame microsoft for that. maybe the PS3 version will have a bigger list and have a plat

Hope so. I bought some MS points today for Counter Strike but will get the PS3 version if it has a Plat. I can't see me getting 100% in the game twice....Something I've done in the past on both systems.

Keyboard and mouse support on ps3 too I believe.
 
Got all the crowns (44) in Everybody's golf, some were hard as fuck and I almost threw my Vita in rage.

And now I still have to grind shit. This platinum alone will take me the whole month, those programmers are fucking insane sometimes.
 
Playing RE5 now, dropped it a few months back because I started buying games left and right. I need a S rank playthrough and a Prof. playthrough. I also need a shit ton of money and points so I can upgrade every gun and then buy the infinite versions.

I did the same. Really need to go back to it. I 1000'd way back when I had a 360. But bought the gold version ages ago.
 
Can anyone offer tips on beating the Variety Level 1 for Pliskin in MGS2? Its the one where you're equipped with a PSG and enemies are getting the curry.

Pray.

Seriously, the best advice to give is to learn the enemy patterns and get good at shooting, there's no easy "trick" to it. Pliskin doesn't even have the worst version of that variety mission...

If your doing it on vita, play it on the ps3. Was a lot easier. Those missions were horrible though. Wait till mgs1 snake. Learn where they come from and tranq the First lot. They will fall asleep by the time they get to the curry. Then just go mental with the normal rifle on the ones behind. I always started top left kill about 6 or 7 move to the right and kill a couple as they come down the stairs. Actually is this the one where you get no pentaxamin and there's a load of them all following each other pretty closely? if so you pretty much just have to go mental with the normal rifle. You'll get it eventually anyhow.

Edit: Platinum 58: Resistance burning Skies.
Wasn't too bad actually, quite fun for all of the few hours i was playing it for. Was the easiest platinum ever though.

Glad i never paid full price for it! Only bought it sat evening and only started it yesterday. Anyway, Platinum 8 this month! A new record for me.

Gonna try and break the 10000 points in a month barrier :D

I was here in spirit, dude.

Platinumed Metal Gear Solid 4 and Sound Shapes while banned :) MGS4 was fun. I never want to see act 3 again though
 
Jak II is a pretty painful game to get through... I've used to the glitch to get the precursor orbs out of the way but there are some missions in this game that're just awful. Halfway through at the moment, so unless I really reach a dead end, I should get it platinumed today or tomorrow.

Oh and for some idiotic reason PSNProfiles has listed me as a cheater because I played MGS3 Vita on my PS3 and then transfarred the save over to get most of the trophies at once. So dumb. They haven't even added the functionality to contest it.
 
Holy fucking shit at those 360 CS GO achievements. Serious trolling indeed. The plat for PS3 seems very easy, almost Trine 2 level with so many gold trophies.

Is it confirmed to have a plat? Where? If it is, I'm buying it. :)

Edit: Cool...it does have one. Plat for $11 dollars plus change as well as $8 dollars back? Yes please. :)
 
If I play non-stop tomorrow, I might be able to finally finish the Platinum for BASARA. Only 5 or so character playthroughs and some light farming left!

After that.. hell if I know what I'll do. Maybe Way of the Samurai 3 since 4 comes out tomorrow.

Lol strange, wonder if they'll do that to me as i got all the ps3 trophies in less then 10 mins
 
Out of curiosity, which trophies instantly pop up on MGS2/3 HD when transferring saves? I might actually be interested if it means I can play the Vita version without having to re-do all of the VR missions in MGS2.

MGS2 trophies will almost all unlock straight away, so you're fine there. Only possible issue is if you started that save before transfarring patch came out, in which case trophies will be disabled.

MGS3 has a few more issues, since it wipes almost all progress from your save when you save over it with a NG+. So if you do something in your first playthrough but over-write it with a second, it won't detect that you've done it.

They all do on MGS2 as long as you have a save file for snake tales, the VR misisons and the main game. Make sure your connected to PSN when you first create the files. Doesnt matter after.

MGS3 they all do as well just make sure you create a new save once you start NG+ if you have to.

Create a save after you knock out the ocelot squad and a save before the docks so you can get the early end and series over trophies without having to backtrack.

Excellent. I don't plan on picking up the Vita version anytime soon, but I can at least pick it up down the road knowing that I can-
