New Games I started this month:
Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Since it was on sale, and I'd been wanting it, I figured why not. The controls feel very cumbersome, and it seems a lot darker than I remember. Not a regrettable purchase at the moment, but maybe a needless one. Currently sitting at 50/1000 || 1/12
Persona 4 Arena
I can never imagine getting 100% in this, but I just had to go for it. I knew I'd get it eventually, so I figured why not while it's new (for the online community and soundtrack bonus) and while I can get some minor deals on it. 260/1000 || 20/50
Older Games:
Binary Domain
Got Level 50 achievement, got most of the challenges done. At the rate I'm going it's just working on Invasion. I haven't beaten any of the levels yet. 900/1000 || 46/50
The Outfit
Since I had one achievement in this game from 2007 I figured I'd rent it with this rental service I had to wrap up the achievements. Got all the single player ones a week an a ago. I'd been sitting on the multiplayer ones, but finally decided yesterday to message anyone I could find on 360achieve.org or trueachieve to see who's interested. Knocked out quite a lot of multi today in only a hour or two. 835/1000 || 36/41
Child of Eden
I randomly come back to this, and without seriously playing like I usually do, I was able to get 100% purification on level 3 and 4 on Hard. I was quite surprised.

I'm not going to lie and say it is completely perfect, but it has to be said that I have done a pretty darn good job.
21 Platinums with an additional 12 games at 100% (And some of those games definitely should have platinum trophies for how hard they are)
95 Gold
215 Silver
906 Bronze
The only trophy I am missing is the co-op trophy for chime super deluxe, and the only reason i'm missing that is because I havent found anyone as good as myself. I can clear 60% of a level all by my lonely, but in order to get the trophy I need another person who is just as badass, which is a tall task considering how obscure the game is. But honestly, if that is the only trophy I never get, it won't break my heart. By rounding up, we hit 100% and I feel like it is fair.

Indeed. I might break it this month too. Just need to do a perfect hard run on Pandora Tomorrow to get another plat and probably break 10k too.
Feelsgoodman.
August progress:
1405/1655 in Fallout New Vegas
I beat hardcore mode with a pacifist speed run. I followed a guide to beat it very easily in 3.5 hours (and that time includes a fair bit of idle time too). Going through that really illuminates the incredible attention to detail Obsidian put into this game. It's really impressive how many different ways there are to complete a quest.
Now I just have to beat Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. I'm starting up Old World Blues right now.

Old World Blues is really easy to get all the achievements for, but it helps to have a guide for Lonesome Road as there are a couple collecting ones that are easy to miss.
Wow. The next GraveRobberX
I really wish PSNProfiles allowed you to log in without using your PSN credentials. I just don't trust a non Sony site with that. It's my preferred site for checking my stats though, and would like to help provide tips for some of the more challenging trophies that I've got.
Silly really, that you can't just create a non PSN account for it.

Good job guys.
Trying to do the CS:GO trophies, anyone want to boost?
I'm at work for another 5-6 hours but will be on for a few hours tonight. PSN: daevv
I only need 3 more; Rampage, win a knife fight, snip a sniper but will help with any you need. I got most of the other ones just playing the game lastnight. This morning I played against easy bots and got some others using tips from ps3trophies.org.
You're back! Welcome!
Don't think so somehow lol. Just getting lucky with vita/ps3 transfarring. Have now run out of decent stuff to play on the Vita now though. Just a few single player trophies in modnation to clean up then that it for a while

Plat #16. Can finally play another game now.
Thanks for the warning. I hate missable achievements, haha.

50/50 Sleeping Dogs. Took me 31:59:35, easy 1000G
Yay another TA.com user. Love that site. And grats on the Sleeping Dogs completion. Whenever I get done with New Vegas, I'm going to devour Sleeping Dogs + Lollipop Chainsaw.

I'll be getting cs go later so if anyone needs help with those weird trophies I'm sure we can work on that. Also no one cares about my 100% profile, they just care about sheer size. Raiden/Squall: Whatever.

The best site for achievements, guides, boosting, etc. (imo)
Sleepig Dogs was awesome, I enjoyed every single minute of playing it. Great story, cool sidequests and a badass main character.
That's Modnation Vita done with. Just finished the last race and unlocked 4 silver and 1 gold.
the easiest race in the whole game as well. Found all tokens did all challenges and came first in the same race.
Stuck on 75% but i don't know anyone else with a vita let alone modnation to do an adhoc race with. And i cant be bothered to make loads of creations only for noone to download them.
Sod boosting. I made an epic iron man and pretty cool car for him, in the 3 months i've owned it the car been downloaded twice and iron man just the once let alone 10x each.
Downloaded the trial for Puddle just for something else to play on Vita. But its pretty boring so i wont be bothering with that.
The lego games are the only 2 left that interest me in the slightest. Might tide me over until sly and battle royale i suppose.
I dont think i can be bothered with the grind that is everybodys golf so that will be the only vita game with a low completion.

Platinum #98 - Jak II
Seemed like it took forever because the game dragged on but it's done. The game itself was pretty blah, especially playing it almost straight after the greatness that was the first game. I still don't understand why they didn't just follow that up with a real sequel but I guess the temptation to rip GTA off was too great. Still pretty disappointing. Worst thing about the game was probably the f'n checkpoints in missions, often making you start from the f'n beginning even if you die right at the end. Annoying.
Next up is Jak 3, which I remember being a big improvement over II but still not as good as the first game. After that I can jump straight into Sleeping Dogs.
Oh and I'm no longer listed as a cheater by PSNProfiles.com. I PM'd the site admin and he put both MGS2 and MGS3 (for both platforms) on the cross-trophy (or whatever it's called) white list.

Got my milestone 50th platinum today in Counter-Strike! I managed to get all of them without boosting too.
Rampage is the hardest but If you've done any of the Spec Ops levels on hard in MW2 this one will be easy. I did it with easy bots, on the level shoot, using the counter terrorists. I went up the first stairs and to the hut on the right and just camped there checking windows. I found it easier to wait till a teammate was engaged with a enemy before shooting. If I didn't kill a guy in the first 3-4 hits I would back away from the window before he started shooing at me. I was a 15 life before jumping out the window and stabbed a guy once as he was already injured for the trophy. A little nerve-racking but fun. I found pressing R3 to attack with the knife did more damage as you actually stab not swipe like when you press R1. That could be just me though.
I liked the game alot but didn't play it much before getting the platinum. I'm debating on getting it on 360 now so I can play it off and on and still be unlocking it's grindfest achievements.
Edit: Turns out there is an exploit for the Rampage trophy. Play Arms Race till you get to the Golden Knife (doesn't matter how many times you die getting there) then switch teams. When you switch you'll be back to the dual guns. Just get 2 kills without dying (the dual pistols then golden knife) and the trophy is yours!! The game is a 1 out of 10 for Platinum now! I've since bought the 360 version and it did work on my first Arms Race match!

I finished Old Word Blues earlier today and I'll probably start Lonesome Road tonight or tomorrow.
I read up on some roadmaps for this DLC and they didnt mention missables. Are there actual missable achievements in Lonesome Road (i.e. you miss something and then need a new save file)? Or did you just mean the collectible tracking is bad and a guide would help with that?
Stallion Free

There just isn't enough tracking. There is like a long stretch of road with 26 warheads and it would just be a pain to figure out which ones you might have missed.
I see, and I totally understand that. I hate when games do that w/ collectible achievements.
LiquidSolid

Not to mention that stupid area that you could enter after finishing it. Hated that place.
Anyway, I got 40% of the way through Jak 3 with all collectables obtained (thanks to the orb glitch and metal head skulls being everywhere) and then my fucking game froze while saving. Back to 6% it is. At least I don't have to worry about collectables I guess, though the unlockable cheats might've been pretty helpful.

Platted Pandora Tomorrow this week. Finished Splinter Cell HD on normal this morning. There's a great Hard playthrough video on PS3trophies to get all the remaining gold trophies in like 2:30 hours, so that should make things easier. Probably going to mop up other grindy trophies up first before doing that run. That would make like plat#10 this month.
Also started Darksiders II. Gonna take a long ass time this one. Started on easy for a relaxing stroll through the game while collecting everything, saving Apocalyptic difficulty for a New Game+ run. No hurries. Game is seriously long though. Maybe a bit too long.

I have a Vita & ModNation if you're interested, I've barely touched the game but wouldn't mind loading it up so we can sort any multiplayer trophies!

I also have modnation vita, will be more than happy to help by downloading your designs to help. Haven't played it yet though, so how do I search for a specific person's design?
No platinums for me this month, I'm missing just one trophy for Everybody's golf (Albatross/Double Eagle), I've attempted it at least 300 times or even more, but it's totally luck-based. When I read that some people got it with less than 15 attempts I almost threw my Vita in rage lol.
Next week I'll buy both Wipeout 2048 and Dokuro. I'll get Wipeout 2048 plat, obviously.

Platinum #65: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Man, this game is almost as good as when I played it 8 or so years ago. Combat is kinda repetitive, but the platforming is tighter/better than a lot of the sloppy stuff that gets released today. Probably the laziest HD remake I've played though, lol.
Instead of moving on to Warrior Within, I think I'll finish up my Way of the Samurai 3 plat. So many scrolls to buy...

Platinum 22: CS:GO
Some of the trophies are harder than others, but if youre halfway decent at vidya it shouldnt take too long to get this. Only reason it took me 2 days is because I work :O

Platinum #99 - Jak 3
And that's the trilogy. Still lacking the charm of the original and the vehicle physics continue to suck but still, it's a huge step up from Jak II and a really good game. There's way less pointless missions, there's a decent amount of checkpoints, the new guns and abilities are way more fun and the story's so much better.
Next is Sleeping Dogs, which'll probably be my 100th platinum. Then I'll probably be working on the R&C Collection.

I'm a disgrace to trophy whores around the world. Too much Disgaea III for VITA, and MW3/BF3 MP on my PS3. I really need to catch up on some backlog, but my buddies keep making me go online or face constant ridicule..... I need to log off PSN and just play some games....
My trophy hunting will have to be dialed back for a while, as I've started working nights, and I just don't have the energy to go for trophies a lot. One game I will plat though is F1 2012 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/f1-2012/achievements/ I'm going to double dip, and the plat seems pretty easy.

I've surprised myself and got a few harder achievements in Child of Eden. It now sits as my second best game on TA.com
Savant (5-star), Pulse-Pounding (800K on normal Matrix), Magnificent Aura (800K on normal Evolution), and Hope Springs Eternal (100% on all Hard levels).
I'm very close to getting 800K on hard Evolution (highest run was about 30K under).
Still continuing to wrap up The Outfit. Just 200 loses and 500 wins achievements left.

well i dont know about the ps3 version but the 360 version freezes a lot so be wary
Not been playing at all the last few days so I just had a good last 2 hours. Platinumed mini ninjas. Quick and easy no guide needed game as everythibg is in plain sight. but so so good. Seriously under rated. And i love the art style. Great river canyon level is beautiful.
That makes platinum 60
And also Level 24.
Jumped from 22 60% to level 24 this month.
Will probably never see that happen again but there you go.
I have darksiders 2 to play but think I'll get on and start ratchet 3 first. Here is my updated progress this month:
Metal gear solid 2 PS3 100%
Metal gear solid 2 Vita 100%
Metal Gear Solid 3 PS3 100%
Metal Gear Solid 3 Vita 100%
Stardrone 100%
Stardrone Extreme 100%
Sound shapes PS3 100%
Sound shapes Vita 100%
Back to the future 100 %
Terminator salvation 100%
Frogger returns 100%
Resistance Burning Skies 100%
Mini ninjas 100%
Little deviants 62% enjoying this not sure why it got such shitty reviews. It does what it set out to do. Easily worth the 11 quid on the store. Perfect pik up and play game.
