Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@colonelkilgore I didn’t get along much with the first Factions on PS3, but am willing to consider the new one since it appears they’re putting massive effort into it. Having it be a standalone rather than just an packed in mode is encouraging. Yet, multiplayer isn’t my thing, but I love Naughty Dog, so we’ll see. The most enjoyable MP I’ve played has been Uncharted 2.
Edit: Also the Assassin’s Creed MP
was pretty good too. I liked getting points for hiding in a barrow of hay. 😅

@Th3solution yeah I'm the same about multiplayer but I'll give it the old college try if a plat requires it. Factions was really good actually... just full of players who had clearly been playing it for years, took it extremely seriously and weren't fussed on noobs.

@colonelkilgore Very good point, I always forget about Factions. I never played the original so don't really know a great deal about it but I'd be up for giving it a go. Like you say @Th3solution they must be putting a lot of effort into it being as it's been over a year since part 2 shipped and we still haven't heard anything about it.

@Keith_Zissou love it when your so into a game that your mind keeps wandering to it during the day. Loving the gameplay/story in particular... or just both?

Regardless of how hard I tried to avoid spoilers I know the basics of the story. Obviously it'll depend on the telling as opposed to simply the plot points but as it stands I don't think the sequels narrative is gonna offend me as it did so many.

@render the original Factions is still really active if you did fancy dipping your toe... as I alluded to above though, the vast majority of its community take it very seriously and there is some toxicity towards noobs.

Its all good though... I chipped away a couple of hours each day for 3 weeks and got all the mp trophies out of the way without too much negativity.

@colonelkilgore Well done on getting those. I remember having a conversation before about how many trophies you end up with from one play through of TLoU and it was something paltry like 7% 😂.

I might take a look at it if I get some time. I'm assuming it's a team based game?

@colonelkilgore I thought Factions for TLOU2 is what Naughty Dog are currently working on? Or have I missed something and it was only a rumour?

@JohnnyShoulder no don't think you missed anything, I was just referring to how long it had been rumoured... as I initially heard it would come with TLoU2 when that was to be released (prior to its delay).

@colonelkilgore Maybe I'm being a bit pedantic, but how is it a rumour if the developer has already confirmed they are working on it?

@JohnnyShoulder yup ‘maybe’ 😜

@Keith_Zissou sounds great bud, hopefully I get the same kick out of it that you are. I’ll be sure to tag you once I’ve played it and we’ll discuss the greatness 😊.

@render yeah there are three modes, all of which are team based. The tricky thing is getting to 12 weeks (each multiplayer match is a day) for each faction… so you have to play at least 134 matches and if you fail on any potential 100% loss challenges (their not too bad as long as you do your research) you start from scratch.

Having gotten all of the mp trophies, I’m currently doing my 100% collectibles run and then I’m gonna try the Survivor+ run for the plat later this week.

@colonelkilgore Woah, that's quite involved then. I might save that for a rainy day I think.

You'll have to let me know how the Survivor+ run goes as I'd like to give that a go. I played 2 on hard but was too much of a wuss to go for Survivor. Thing is it looks like it will make the game a lot more interesting as resources will be really thin on the ground so you'll need to maximise your use of things and use the environment more. Could be really cool.

@render the mp took a good 3 weeks of playing a few games per day. If and when you do decide to do it, make sure you set aside a good chunk of time.

Yeah I'll let you know how the Survivor+ run goes... i can already tell I'm gonna struggle without the listen-mode though.

@Kidfried Nice work. Was it a fairly organic platinum or one where you had to go spend hours of additional painting to get it?

@RogerRoger
Well congrats in advance then.
I dislike such trophies (recall doing similar stuff on saints row games. Logging on then going out for the day while a few hours pass by)

@RogerRoger congrats buddy, 50 is a biggie 👏

Platinum number 16 - Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight. Literally the exact same game as the 5 one but with a better cast and slightly worse remixes.

I really liked those games. I liked them much more than the Persona 4 dancing one which tried to fit a story in. I appreciate the effort but come on. Just wanna dance.

@nessisonett @Lightning_FF13 'congrats on the plats' guys 🥳

@Jimmer-jammer ah dude, I feel for ya! If I ever encounter any issues like this i usually resort to reddit and other message boards to see if anyone else has encountered the same issue. It's saved a few platinum journeys for me... 🤞 for you.
