The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Haven’t posted in a while due to i’ve been busy when not playing games, most recent game which i’m still playing is Assassins Creed II, I have platinumed this one under my old account so I decided to add it to my new account, and I love this game anyway. I’m at 70% trophies after just three days but i’ll probably end up spending a few days just trying to find all the feathers again, lol.  Played a lot of Metal Gear Solid 4 before that, haven’t got the platinum for that yet, not sure I will either as there is one really hard trophy on there. You have to complete the game on the hardest mode in under 5hrs without using any health or special items, and you cannot be detected, virtually impossible for me.

Anyway I just purchased PS+ membership again for the next three months so i’ll probably end up playing Saints Row 3rd which also looks like another good game and i’ll be checking out some of the other freebies for playstation plus members tomorrow. If anyone wants to keep track of my trophies I do get them published in real time to my facebook account. Feel free to send me a friend request or ask any questions. Also let me know what your playing at the moment and what you would like to play in the future.

Hi all,

I managed to get hold of a copy of Mafia II and it turns out to be a great game, there are so many other games it reminds me of. It’s a little bit GTA, the old music reminds me of the Bioshock games, and with a little bit of stealth and lockpicking skills it reminds me of a few others all rolled into one.  It’s a pretty cool storyline and you get a trophy for each chapter completed, you can steal and upgrade cars, buy suits and other outfits.

There are a few other challenges which are not story related, like finding all the wanted posters, and all the magazines as well as you can make extra money by selling stolen cars to a couple of people, it’s not a have to but it’s good fun. I think the platinum trophy for this game will be fairly easy to get, i’m playing it on easy at the moment but I don’t see many sections too hard to complete on hard mode.  If your thinking of trying this one, don’t think anymore, get it. At the very least you should rent it, it’s a lot of fun but I think the replay value will go down once you’ve played it once or twice so it’s probably more of a rental than a buy.

Hi all,

Yes that’s why I haven’t been here in a while, I borrowed my sons GT 5 that he got for Christmas and i’m really stuck into it, lol.  I don’t see me ever getting the platinum trophy though, i’ll probably get around 90% but there are a couple of races that just are impossible, at least for me, to complete. One trophy I do not see me getting is the one where you have to get all gold in every event, i’ve got all the license trophies but  I just cannot get gold in them all.

Another really hard trophy is going to be in arcade mode where you have to complete a course in 7 minutes and 27 or 29 seconds, I can’t even pronounce the name of the course that’s how hard this one is, lol.  I’ve tried it a few times and although I enjoy trying I can only manage a time of around 8 minutes, I just don’t see me shaving another half minute off this one.  Finally I don’t see me getting the one where you have to drive the red bull car a million miles an hour without going off the track and making a specific time, forget it, i’m not even going to try. It makes me wonder if anyone really has platinum for this game, they must be insane.

Having said all that, I have heard that it is slightly easier if you use a steering wheel, well, I don’t have one 🙁 so definitely no to the platinum trophy but i’m still going to enjoy playing this for a while yet, you can see my trophies as I get them as my facebook page automatically updates when I get a trophy. The only downside to this game is that i’m not getting any time to play all my other games, I should have never started this one, lol. It really is great fun though.
