"Hakoom: I have loved the PS since PS1 because it had the best of the best games on it. When I 1st saw the Xbox, I disliked it immediately and in my opinion the Xbox 360 ruined the nextgen era. Every game is being downgraded because of the Xbox hardware limitations. If it wasn’t for the Xbox 360 then 70% of PS3 games would have looked like Uncharted."

Wow what a fanboy. All I have to say is Halo 4. Im a playstation fan but seriously people need to stop spouting crap like that.

RTheRebel4131d ago

You calling someone a fanboy
muahahahahaa

BlackWolf4130d ago (Edited 4130d ago )

Dear Mika, looking at your comments, you're the least appropriate person to call someone fanboy.

Tetsujin4130d ago

I admire Hakoom for having a big trophy list, however I can't take someone seriously for having joke plats in their list; Hannah Montana?!

My question is, "What do you get for having all these plats outside bragging rights?"

Baka-akaB4130d ago

Yeah i'd respect more someone who doesnt go out of their way to play crap and easy games for a trophy count

Fishermenofwar4130d ago

He is a Trophy hunter...Any trophy will do...

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4130d ago

Would love for them to interview this dudes "girlfriend".
Stryctnin: What do you do for fun besides play video games?
Hakoom: Just play and earn trophies for the most part, but sometimes I watch anime.

I have a stack of games still in plastic that I haven't touched. I don't see how it is possible for anyone to do nothing but play video games all the time. Unless your ass is confined to a wheelchair or a bed for a long term medical condition. Seriously, look at some of the trophies and imagine how much time grinding it would take to platinum a few shooters alone. Have a look at the requirements for Socom Confrontation and Resistance 2 the time it would take a single person to do that would be insane. I don't buy into it at all.

Tetsujin4130d ago

It's more than one person on that acct, they rotate between sessions. Also if you look at the list there's some games there may be 1-2 trophies however they moved on to another game for the plat.

nunley334130d ago

Hakoom has denied more than one person gets trophies on the account but many have said it. good job Stryctnin on the interview.

Alos884130d ago

I'm unsure as to how he unlocks them that quickly. If he really is doing it by himself, I can't imagine how he gets anything else done.

AlucardFury4130d ago

Every game is being downgraded because of the 360..... Really? That's just as low as you can go.

AlucardFury4130d ago

Lol look at all the disagrees.... wow

sypher4130d ago (Edited 4130d ago )

The problem with the trophy hunting mindset (i know because i have/had it) is that it limits your game choices. You think hmm better not play Skyrim because platinum takes 100+ hours. Easier to play short games which have under 20 hour plat time.

And yeh he most definitely has other players doing trophies for him. It just isn't feasible to live/work/study as well as game and gain that many trophies.

Just look at the comparisons the author made the same amount of time had passed and the author who is obviously an avid gamer who goes for platinum's doubles the amount he has from like 20+ to 70+. So that's the kind of jump you would expect from any 1 person within a year about 40-50 games.

But Hakoom has managed 200+ within the same time, which equates to a platinum every 1 and a half days. That's if you are playing every day for 365 days. Its just not possible to live a life and play that much. So its obviously more than once person.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos4h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis20h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast19h ago

It's worth a play through today.
