The Official Trophies Thread!!! - Part 1

[SpideyVille]

I just picked up the Plat for ACIV (PS3). It's my 46th, but my first in over 7 months. I think my goal was to be at Level 20 by the end of the summer, but since I had just gotten a job, that plan was scratched. But luckily I got myself a bunch of new games over the Christmas break, so I'm hoping to get to 50 Plats in the next few weeks.

Nice!

I heard MGS: GZ has some really crap trophies and no platinum. True?

How were the online trophies? Took you too long?

I just looked it up amnd yeah, there's only 15 trophies/acheivements and no platinum. But if I'm not mistaken, isn't GZ sort of like a prequel/demo/preview of MGS5? It kinda sounds like DLC that's playable before the full game is released.

Getting to Level 55 wasn't too too hard because if you play Wolfpack on your own and know how to do it well enough to the point where you can finish it lal by yourself or even with friends, you can level up pretty fast with maybe 20-30 of those matches, especially if you complete the challenges. Plus, I waited until this weekend since it was a double XP weekend so it really went fast.

The only hard/annoying part was playing all the modes once and using every weapon, since I didn't have enough credits to get everything. So I had to play Freedom Cry to get about 4,000 credits that helped me get everything I was missing. It wasn't too hard. Maybe worse than last year, but nowhere near as bad as Brotherhood, which still remains the only AC game that I've yet to platinum.

Oh is that what it is? I guess I don't really know what this game is supposed to be in relation to Phantom Pain. I'd rather just have 2 full on MGS retail games with a platinum/1000G each.

[StrainedEyes]

Ground Zeros is a prologue to Phantom Pain. It's smaller and separate, kind of like DR2: Case Zero vs. DR2.

[Iceman]

So just checked for 360 there are only 15 achievements but it still adds up to 1000G. If that's the case they should give an equivalent Platinum for trophies really.

On another thing do many of you go for trophies and aren't too bothered about Platinums?

It really depends on the game for me. For the most part, I always check PS3Trophies to see the road map for what what kind of experience it will be and how doable it seems. Like right now I'm playing through LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and I know what to expect from it so I know I can get the Platinum. but then there's other games like any of the GTA or Arkham games where I know that trying to get the Platinum is going to take a ton of hours and will be a mostly frustrating experience, so I don't even bother. I try to get as many trophies as I can, but I try not to spend too much time on anything that might involve needing the help of others like in MP or is extremely luck based.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the prime example of a game I hate because I just need one trophy for the Platinum but I don't have any friends who would help me and I don't want to bother and strangers to help me boost for it, so I just leave it alone.

Sounds similar to me then.

What do you need on Brotherhood? Level 50?

I always go for the Platinum, unless there are online trophies that will take too much of my time, then I just try to get all of the single player ones.

That's why I asked SpideyVille about AC's online trophies, because if it is manageable to get them, then I might try to platinum it.

I've done all the online achievements for Brotherhood & Revelations. Revelations is straightforward & fun. Getting to the top level in Brotherhood will take ages, even if you boost it. Also one or 2 of the other Brotherhood achievements are challenging, something along the lines of getting every kind of kill in a match and one of each reward cumulatively (been a long time since I did it, can't remember exactly). Haven't tried the online in III yet & don't own IV.

Wow, you guys have a lot of plats! I only have 10

[Havok83]

anyone have the platinum for Assassins Creed 3? Ive gone back to it and will attempt to get that. I also hope to do the same for Batman AC before AK comes out. What sucks though is re-learning the game as especially the combat trophies will be difficult

[JaD]

Speaking of Arkham Origins, I spent practically an entire day yesterday with a group boosting those ridiculous MP trophies that require luck. Got most of them out of the way and just need to grind a little for XP then I can enjoy a couple simple left over in campaign.

Multiplayer in that game is still broken dammit! My system froze on me maybe 3 times, on a few others too and we must've got kicked from our lobbies more than a dozen times. Thank Batman there's no multiplayer in Arkham Knight.

^And some insist on saying that the game is barely bugged now. These people didn't play enough.

I got all of Origins' single player trophies. I'm not gonna try the MP, hate those.
And that's also one of the reasons I'm so happy there will be no multiplayer in AK. I can get the Platinum in that one.

None at all? Not even DLC? That should make it more doable.
