20 years ago you'd get made fun of for playing that many games and living in your parents basement, now you get a biography made about you lol

I'm pretty sure someone is about to comment "No life" or "The virginity is strong in this one" but that's a pretty big accomplishment for him to get that many trophies i mean i don't even have that much and i know someone who has nearly 17000+ trophies no joke.

gaden_malak4356d ago

I wouldn't say spending A LOT of your life getting fake trophies is an accomplishment.

WeskerChildReborned4356d ago

@Gaden Malak i mean it's his personal accomplishment.

t0mmyb0y4355d ago

What PSN name has 17000+ trophies Wesker?

Khronikos4356d ago

I'm honestly proud to say I never hunt down trophies sand neither do I give a **** about them. Switched accounts and lost about 500 of them and guess what I love my new account it has been at 8 for like over a year. I simply don't care, don't have the time, and would never consider wasting my life away for mostly useless achievements. I respect this guy for his good plats and hard trophies but I would never condone something like this. This kind of lifestyle is VERY unhealthy for people.

Trophies are a fake representation of something done in a fake world. Please remember that. They can be fun once in a while but people should keep it at that. Trophy whores are pathetic human beings.

TheFirstClassic4356d ago

What's really bad is when people buy bad games with easy trophies just to rank up. I would never spend money on a game I don't enjoy just for trophies or achievements.

thebudgetgamer4356d ago

Yea, I'm just talking about what I got. You've clearly put a lot of thought into it. If I get a trophie fine it's cool, if not so what.

Pintheshadows4356d ago

I just play the game and the trophies I unlock are just there.

Although I did go out of my way in Fight Night 4 to beat Ali and Tyson on greatest of all time difficulty. Tyson I achieved, Ali is impossible.

Bowzabub4356d ago

I'm closing in on 5200, but I only have 36 platinum trophies. I just buy a lot of games and I only get 100% on games I can stay interested in long enough to do so. Nice thing is, I can always go back and finish them. No Hannah Montana or 3 different versions of the same game by region, no gamefly scrub either. XD

SandWitch4355d ago

I got about 115 trophies from Vita's release date. IDK if I am a trophy whore or something, but trophies make the game more challenging to me and extends game's length. I can't afford myself to purchase a $55 game every two weeks, so it helps me a lot actually.

t0mmyb0y4355d ago

That makes you a Trophy Collector :D You ain't no whore.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming8d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long8d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1018d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor8d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing698d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno8d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast14d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22914d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko14d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave14d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan14d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
