The Guildmasters

Hi all,

As you know I love trophy hunting and i’d heard many say that Terminator Salvation was a relatively easy platinum and only had gold trophies, so I decided to rent the game and give it a go. Well I did get the platinum for it and it took around seven hours, and as it turns out it wasn’t too bad a game. Shooters are not really my thing but it was such a quick game it was like having a bit of fun in between all the long epic games that I play.

I’m back to playing Skyrim again after getting around 50% of Gran Turismo 5, I played GT5 for about a week and it made a refreshing change from the RPG’s but now i’m ready to really get back into my RPG’s. I’m still debating whether or not to get Final Fantasy 14 and i’ll hold off on making that decision until I find out much more about it, it does look like a really good game from what i’ve seen so far though.

That’s all for now, you can always keep an eye on what i’m playing by checking my facebook page as it updates there when I sync the trophies each day, hope your all having fun, happy gaming.

Hi all,

Now I know Skyrim is fairly old now in terms of games but I just got the Hearthfire download where you can adopt a child and buy a plot of land and build your own house, and yes it all sounds familiar as you could already buy your own house in Skyrim. This is different though and it’s also probably the best value for money for download content i’ve ever come across.  You can acquire up to three new pieces of land in which you can build on. The big difference is the size of these houses and what you can have in them.

You start by building just a small cottage, and you can keep it like that if you wish, I don’t think anyone is going to stop at a small cottage though. If you decide (like me) to carry on building then the small cottage becomes the entrance hall to a much bigger place. The next section is huge, then you can add bedrooms, armory, library, enchanting tower or even a trophy room. Now the trophy room is just great, you can put all the big stuff in there, like a full grown bear, dragons head, full size troll, spriggon and much more, it’s just endless.

Anyway, after creating my first house, fully furnished with armory, smithy, garden, pet pen and even a horse and cart with driver, bard and a steward, and this is on top of adopting a child and having my wife and followers there too, I decided that you really don’t need any of the houses that were on offer before. I remember having to go all the way to the top of Whiterun to enchant stuff, then back down to the beginning for doing some Alchemy or smithing, now it’s all under one roof, I even have a smelter. How cool is that. I messed around with that house for more than six hours yesterday, it’s ridiculously addictive fun.

So having got really caught up in Skyrim again i’ve neglected to play full time on The Last of Us which I intended  to do. All i’ve managed to play so far is the intro and maybe a small section of the first chapter. I will get to play it some more as it does look and feel like a great game but for now I can’t get enough of Skyrim.  There is also the newish Skyrim: Legendary game on sale now which includes all the download content Dawnguard, Hearthfire and the other one which I can’t remember right now, sure someone will let me know what it was called.

Ok that’s about it for now, don’t forget to check out the last post for pre-ordering the new PS 4 which comes out in December. Happy gaming.

Hi all,

I managed to get to Guild Rank 9 today, now comes the long haul as each guild rank gets further and further away, GR 10 is 5,000,000 points away but hitting guild rank 9 has opened up another four or five new quests for me. I have managed to get myself around 24 out of the 50 S ranks needed so i’m still hopeful that I can get the platinum for this one. Once the servers close down next week it will probably take me a few months to solo whatever is left but I don’t mind that.

Should be getting The Last of Us in a week or so and i’m also renting Skyrim again as I loved playing that game and I want to get that platinum on this account. While i’m writing about my WKC update i’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the players that have helped me out while i’ve been online. There isn’t many on there now and there are still a couple of idiots but I have had some great players run with me in a few quests. It’s just a shame we only have a short time together to get what we can while we can.

Will probably only update one more time before the servers go down, i’m really hoping I can hit guild rank 10 before they do go down, then it will just be the long haul to guild rank 12, I may or may not have to work my way up to guild rank 15 depending on the 450 item bind trophy, if some of the items are too rare then I may just end up grinding to 15 although it’s not essential for the platinum.

Well that’s about it for now, I will end up making some videos for Skyrim, yeah I know there are a ton out there but i’m sure I can think of something different, i’ll also be doing some vids on The Last of Us. So until then, happy gaming 🙂

Hi all,

Yes this was the big question for me earlier in the week, but after hitting GR 8 yesterday and Level 47 I think I can do it. I know the servers go down in about a week so am making the most of it online while it’s available. I just got the trophy for 20 S ranks which really surprised me as that was the main trophy I expected to have trouble with. If I can get the other 30 S ranks by next week then I believe I can get the rest offline.

The only other very hard trophy to get solo is the 450 item bind but I do think it’s doable ( is that a word? ) Anyway I did get another trophy today and that was for binding 50 items as i’ve been binding items every chance I get. The other trophies will come over time but doing it solo means that ones like GR 12 will probably take a couple of months but i’m not too worried about it, I still love playing the game and if it keeps me on there longer that’s great.

Have found 3 people to quest with who are the same guild rank as me which really helps so will quest with them for the next week and hopefully get to around guild rank 10 before it goes offline, that’s my goal anyway. Will update more over the weekend as I don’t get enough done in one day to update daily.

Hope everyone is enjoying the games they are playing at the moment, keep on playing and let me know how it’s going for you all.
