MATtheHAT Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I don't have any platinums. I find I can't get a lot of them because I will never get any of the higher end ones. Aren't you quite close to getting the Burnout Paradise one?
dwarf Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I wouldn't class Aimless as a Trophy whore though. He doesn't display a Trophy card, and he doesn't come in here and post about his latest Platinum like most of us do. He just keeps his e-penis to himself, and if you're peeking at his penis, then you are probably more concerned about his Trophies than he is. Someone told me he has loads - it was going to make it round the forum. Aimless BLATANTLY strives for the trophy title of 'humble hoe'. He recognises that people know of his collection, so he can act modest whilst basking in the glory when people mention his eliteness. ^Obviously not the case Rightly said, it isn't a competition at all, but it is evidence. Otherwise the competition would be about how many games you can own or borrow.
Caris Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Have Sony done something with the trophy servers over the past week? PSN was acting really weird for me one day and now trophies seem to sync and load quicker as well as show up on my gamercard striaght away.
dwarf Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I swear a while back you never had problems with syncing? Or are you just on about speed? There was a notable change a few weeks back when they seemed to solve everything.
Ryan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Sega Mega Drive Collection, going through Terminator Salvation now so I should have a third in the next day or two. They packed some crap games into that. What a grind getting that platinum.. The last one I got was "No Life"
Daft Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I don't have any platinums. I find I can't get a lot of them because I will never get any of the higher end ones. If I can get eight (on my way to the ninth, fingers crossed) you should be able to get one.
CooInTheZoo Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Just finished Uncharted 2! On 'easy' mind you, and it only took 11 1/2 hours. Hopefully Assassins Creed 2 will last me until March 9th...

PSN was acting really weird for me one day and now trophies seem to sync and load quicker as well as show up on my gamercard striaght away. I believe they have upgraded the servers making all trophy data load much faster than before. It was so annoying before Christmas trying to sync trophies. I think I was one of the lucky few who managed to get a sync in like every 10-20 tries.
Strange Cookie Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Truth be told, I really can't be bothered with Trophies and Achievements. I'm not really into the Trophy-hunting, not competitive or collection-wise. It's nice when one pops up, but I never strife to get any. From what I've experienced, It's massively inconsistent, though. Some game have Trophies for all but the Ninjagamers, while some hand them out just for playing the game. Yes, Prince of Persia. I'm looking at you. So I'm not really into those things, but it's nice to have them along. Apparently, I've got three golden ones. Beats me where I got those. Probably picked up somewhere along the way. Yeah I bought Mega Drive Collection cause I actually wanted it And rightfully so! That's one of the best retro-packages I've seen in a while, and it's not just rose-tinted nostalgia talking, because I never owned any of those games. Yes, I admit. I've never experienced Streets of Rage 2 before I got this. For Shame. Edited January 19, 2010 by Strange Cookie
Caris Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Just got that Platinum on Terminator, what a horrible horrible game it was.
Daft Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I really don't think it's that bad. It's like Gears of War but with a story.
flameboy Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I really don't think it's that bad. It's like Gears of War but with a story. Shame its a shitty story from a shitty film.
Caris Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Also with a broken cover system, terrible acting, terrible voice work, terrible controls, terrible level design and the weakest last level in video game history. Oh and the fact that the whole game from the training section till the last room was just kill spiders and terminators whilst in cover was a joke. Yeah I really hated it haha.

Caris Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Only buy it if you want the Trophies, it's really not a good game.
flameboy Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Only buy it if you want the Trophies, it's really not a good game. thats not my primary motivator my primary motivator is being a massive Terminator fanboy and am just gutted that there hasn't been a decent Terminator game for years.
Caris Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 If it makes you feel better it has one of the best load screens I've seen in ages.
Chuck Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Only buy it if you want the Trophies, it's really not a good game. Just give me no credit, it's fine.
flameboy Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 If it makes you feel better it has one of the best load screens I've seen in ages. lol its saying something to the games quality when thats one of its biggest plus points! On trophy whore watch Up is only £11.95 at Zavvi.
MATtheHAT Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 On trophy whore watch Up is only £11.95 at Zavvi. In all fairness, right, bear with me. I reckon it would be worth a purchase at that price, not just because of the Trophies, but because the film is actually quite awesome. And it has co-op so could be a laugh with my Daughter.
dwarf Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 'Hat, don't do this to me. Have you played the demo? Absolutely abysmal, tried it in multiplayer, it was seriously naff. Stop trying to rationalise the buying of it to us and yourself, we know you wouldn't buy it if it had no trophies. Spend your money on 10 Brownie Frijjs.
Daft Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Shame its a shitty story from a shitty film. It's actually got a different story to the film. Like I said before, it's actually better than the film, not that that's hard.
dwarf Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I watched the film, I'd say I had more enjoyment from it than if I had played the game. I hate playing those types of games when so little is good about them and don't offer fun stuff when compared to other games. It isn't good enough for a game to have average graphics and a decent shooting system anymore. The film for me at least provided one or two nice action scenes.
MATtheHAT Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 The game was a rush job, they didn't even have time to implement the Trophies properly. A gold for finishing each level and a gold for finishing on hard (which isn't really any harder) earns you a Platinum. I think if they had more time, then it could have turned out ok. But I think the publishers, GRIN, had taken too much on. They did Bionic Commando at the same time, and were rumoured to be working on a Final Fantasy project. Quite a lot for a reletively small development team. Then they went bust. Shame really because they made Bionic Commando: Re-Armed, which is one of the best PSN games available.
