Trophies, the right way and the wrong way

Trophies or achievements are everywhere in gaming nowadays, but some games do it much better than others. This is our formula for the perfect trophy list

There shouldn't be any trophies for online multiplayer IMO

Playerz85033d ago

Online multiplayer trophies suck so much. Especially when a game has absolutely no online community, it's almost impossible to get the online trophies.

N4GAddict5033d ago

Yeah, I also hate DLC trophies as well.

PSFan1005033d ago

Some DLC trophies are ok, but I think they shouldn't affect the % count. Online should be removed or be completely separate at least. But i can't see it happen *sigh*

The Great Melon5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

DLC Trophies are OK as long as they aren't factored into the Platinum Trophy, but multiplayer trophies should be avoided in most circumstances. The only time I would allow the latter is if the game is primarily multiplayer to begin with.

FURY__UNLEASHED5033d ago

I rented R2 again recently to try and get the 10,000 but there were never any ranked games, and when I actually found one, I hated it as much as I did 1.5 years ago. All I need for the platinum is the ridiculous trophy for getting 10,000 kills. Problem is, I hate R2's RANKED multiplayer and hardly anyone plays anymore. Custom MP games are fun, but R2's ranked games suck! Since it takes like 10 minutes to find a game now, if you're lucky, it would take me like over a year to get the trophy.

ThanatosDMC5033d ago

So true. I cant get a single trophy online from AVP3 since their ranked matches are almost non-existent.

At least i enjoy a Predator Hunt game with my close friends but no ranked games means no unlockable skins. Also, it sucks paying for $7+ DLCs that should have been included on the disk for four new maps.

$7 is too much.

There should, but make them either easy, or not a requirement for platinums.

gamerzBEreal175033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

only online trophies/achivments i liked was uncharted2s and gears of wars

avengers19785033d ago

IMO they should let you get 100% of the trophies without online multiplayer and then have either seperate or different ones for online play.

willie325033d ago

I wish more games would follow Uncharted 2's style of trophy hunting (3 easy online trophies). I really enjoyed earning the trophies. I am also a fan of online trophies but they need to be earned through much simpler tasks. The MAG trophies are downright ridiculous.

dragon825033d ago

MAG trophies are pretty easy if you actually play the game.

ThanatosDMC5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

MAG trophies arent ridiculous... they even dumbed it down which i hated since people got medals other people took time and whatever to get.

The type of trophies i hate are those like shoot 200 pigeons or collect those lightning shards or collect the feathers.

red2tango5033d ago

DLC trophies are the worst. Not only does World at War suck, half the trophies require map packs so screw that.

kornbeaner5033d ago

@red2tango I got a platinum on World at War prior to DLC and it didn't go away after downloading a map pack.

Esena5033d ago

Platinum trophies only correspond to the retail game. Any DLC downloaded will NEVER affect a platinum trophy.

versusALL5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

Ok, off topic, you guys know that movie the expendables. What if Sony made a game with the same idea. You know, get the most badass games in history in 1 game. Cloud, Kratos, Jak, Drake, Sly, Cole, Snake, Ratchet, Sora, Dante and so on. Tell me what you guys think.

red2tango5033d ago

Super Smash Brothers come to mind. And if Sony did that, people would b*tch that Sony copied Nintendo.

Anon73495033d ago

That's a horrible 'badass' list. Cloud? Really? He's an emo asshat in a bad, overrated RPG than you need nostalgia goggles to enjoy. There are much better jRPG like chronotrigger to, why people stick with FF7, or any FF game really is beyond me. The most badass guy on your list was Dante, then probably Snake or Kratos.

Jayjayff5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

Dante can't be compare to kratos man and snake is one of the best characters someone can give you

kornbeaner5033d ago

I hate MP trophies as well, that tends to kill the online community for a game before it even gets started. Because for the first 2 weeks you have a bunch of people playing for trophies only

Exclusive Games to Buy for Your New PS3

3xG says: "With so many titles to choose from its hard to pick just a handful to accompany your new console. Below we have comprised a mixed genre list of both retail and downloadable games for your playing pleasure."

GWAVE5033d ago

A great list, full of variety. I would have taken out some of their choices to find room for Valkyria Chronicles and Killzone 2, but hey, you can't have everything.

Biggest5033d ago

Why are those guys responding to an hour old troll account?

I would replace Resistance 1 with 2, and definitely find a place for Killzone 2. At least an honorable mention. But unless you're going to list them all. . . Damn! And what about Heavy Rain?

HydraxFFx5033d ago

This article is about games you can buy and download on PSN store.

Biggest5032d ago

This article has two distinct lists. The first list is downloadable titles which come from PSN. The second list is retail titles that come from retail stores.

MrAwesome5033d ago

PS3 is the king of exclusives (no fanboism)

fucadastates5033d ago

Valkyria Chronicles thats epic

Persistantthug5032d ago

VALKYRIA CHONRICLES in place of ModNation Racers.

ModNation RAcers is fun, but Valkyria Chonicles is a near masterpiece.

Hack and Slash = GOW Collection + GOWIII -> The Beast!
Racing Sim = The Real Driving Simulator 5
Open World = inFAMOUS

So on...

TEFL0N_D0N_815033d ago

Umm.. don't buy Haze, and don't buy Lair. The rest should be good.

fucadastates5033d ago

lair with normal controlles is great. what about the gameplay, narrativ and graphics (æstetiske) yont you like.

haze tho suck

MexicanAppleThief5033d ago

I highly recommend Valkyria Chronicles to anyone with an 'open' taste in games. Very underrated but an absolute gem, no trophies though. :(

PickAShoe5032d ago

that game needs some trophy loving

Xbox 360 vs. PS3 = Pepsi vs. Coke for gamers

»PS3 or Xbox 360?« is not the only question of principle in the whole games industry. At the moment it is the »Pepsi or Coke« question for gamers, Videogameszone thinks.

if you prefer the ps3 good for you

edhe5033d ago

Pff, nube - should be closing the tab!

But seriously that site is trash, absolute mince - sack the approvers!

mikeslemonade5033d ago

In this case PS3 would be the coke and 360 is the pepsi. Most kids like pepsi better. Coke has been around longer.

darthv725032d ago (Edited 5032d ago )

Mike, what happened to coke when they tried to reinvent themselves with new coke?

You may be on to something. PS3 is like the new coke. Messed with the formula that was tried and true and then realized shortly after they had to scrap it and go back to what made coke...COKE.

Sony messed with the ps3 formula and then realized they had to go back to what made the PS brand so traditional. Concentrating on the games instead of trying to be all snazzy like 360 does with everything BUT games.

I like both (Pepsi/Coke) and it just happens that coke is more supported throughout the world where pepsi is really big in the US.

But I like Sprite.
Damn, I'm always left out.

Downtown boogey5033d ago

It's not like you didn't deserve to be, you freak!!

BeaArthur5033d ago

Technically Sprite is a coke brand. Maybe that means you just like arcade games.

WhatARump5033d ago

I dunno I don't really care either way about pepsi/coke or ps3/xbox360

Downtown boogey5033d ago

Pepsi or Coke... Whatever.
PS3 or 360... Might taste the same but sure as hell aren't the same thing!!

WhatARump5033d ago

I wasn't talking about literal taste but rather personal preference :)

bjornbear5033d ago

depends on my mood.

however, if we were talking consoles, I can only afford one pepsi or one coke, and atm im in the mood for coke, so here's my 2 cents

morkendo5033d ago

to say i like ps3,i like 360?
like Rodney King would say : CANT WE ALL GET-ALONG
and just GAME ON!! for peep sake.

i prefer the PS3 cuz it's beast. i always had a 360 but it broke... but i'm picking up the 4GB console today.

HeroXIV5033d ago

Coca Cola just tastes better than pepsi. Pepsi has a weird after taste and the carbonatedness (lol) is too low. Gets flat quicker than coke.

Projekt7tuning5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

Yea coke burns.....Oh, OH!.... Were talking about the drinks. That's embarrassing.

Umbrella Corp5033d ago (Edited 5033d ago )

wanna get high?

ZombieAutopsy5033d ago

Coke doesn't burn so I'd stop doing the shit you're getting it's most likely mixd with something.....or just roll a 151 (at least that's what I think they where called).

Projekt7tuning5033d ago

Guys, we forgot about Captain and Coke.
Shame on us.

ZombieAutopsy5033d ago

Pepsi taste like flat coke to me but in the end it's all about Lost energy drinks.

Downtown boogey5033d ago

It's true though that Pepsi DOES get flat faster.

DA_SHREDDER5033d ago

Pepsi does get flat faster, but it taste way better than coke when its just opened

Not really an accurate analogy, suggesting there's no significant difference is silly. Then again this is another crappy .de article, so what did I expect.
