The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Well third day playing, right at the end of story mode now, also managed to get myself 5 S ranks and got myself to Guild Rank 5 which isn’t bad, I’m level 35 now and still enjoying it.  I’m actually upgrading my weapons and armor as I go along which I didn’t do last time I played this. This time around, it’s fairly essential to upgrade some gear to keep up with the quests solo.  I even managed to S rank big red while I was at guild rank 3 and that’s a guild rank 3 quest, that’s pretty good.

If I can keep this up, then I should be able to get the 50 S ranks eventually. I think to S rank guild rank 10 quests I’ll have to be at least guild rank 12 but I think I can do it, it will be a slow process but I love games that take a long time, it’s definitely a challenge. Should get my $100,000 trophy tomorrow, but that will be it for a while as the rest of the trophies will be very time consuming, looking forward to the rest of the week’s play.

Will update again at the weekend probably, happy gaming.

Hi all,

Yeah, sorry for the delay in posting, got a bit carried away the last week. I did eventually get Resident Evil 6 platinum, then went straight on to playing a game called Sleeping Dogs. The reason I got this game was because it was free for Playstation Plus members, which I decided to get for 3 months, that cost me $17.99 and it’s already paid for itself as Sleeping Dogs was free at that time, but for others, it’s $50 so a big saving there, and I’m glad I did get it, it’s a pretty cool game.

Sleeping Dogs is a cross between Godfather II and Grand Theft Auto and a few others, there is a good storyline with a good ending (which makes a change) lots to do by way of side quests and missions, yet you can complete the game in a relatively short time, I’m two trophies away from platinum and have enjoyed playing it for about a week, maybe a bit less, but it’s got some replay value too, you could quite easily want to play it a second time, although you can get platinum in one playthrough.

Another aspect of this game I like (a lot) is the fighting, I don’t usually like fighting games, but the action buttons are not too complicated and it’s fairly realistic, you are an undercover cop who has to infiltrate the Triads, which you do quite successfully, and have a lot of fun with it. It can be a little glitchy in places and the graphics are not really fantastic, but the gameplay is very good. I would say if you liked games like Just Cause, Godfather or Grand Theft Auto you’ll probably quite like this one.

I don’t recommend buying this one as it is fairly short but definitely worth renting or borrowing, or if you are like me, you tried being a Playstation plus member it’s a free download, beware though, it is around 8 Gigs and can take a couple of hours to download. Happy Gaming!

Hi all,

Well, I’ve been playing for about a week now and have managed to get myself to guild rank 7 , I’m also at level 43 so not doing too bad.  I did go online for a little while today and I see that there is still quite a few playing this game.  There are also a lot of older players who have been playing since it first came out, yet I still don’t really understand why they are closing the servers, a little unfair to those who really enjoy playing this one online.

Also managed to get another trophy today, which was a surprise, I’m also binding quite a lot of items, weapons and armor as I go along as I know one of the hardest trophies is going to be the 450 item bind trophy. I think I will probably play for a few days online while the servers are still up and get some help with a few quests while the help is there. Want to thank Cloud who ran King of Dragons with me and also Dragons Heat, would have never S ranked those on my own at this level.

That’s about it for now, got The Last of US on my list at Gamefly and I won’t add any more games until that comes out and hopefully, I will get that the day of its release or one or two days later. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves on the games you’re playing, let me know what you’re up to. Happy gaming.

Hi all,

Yep, playing RE 6 on professional, taking me longer than I thought it would, have done Leon’s and Chris’s campaigns and am on chapter 5 of Jake’s campaign. Should be done with it over the next few days, then I’ll just play chapter select to get some of the hidden trophies and the serpent emblems that I’ve missed. It’s been a good game and I’ve even enjoyed playing some online mercenaries.

After this, I’ll pop back to try and platinum my other outstanding games which are: Bioshock Infinite, Dead to Rights: Retribution and Rage, by the time I’m done with those hopefully there will be no more delays in the release of The Last Of Us.

Hope everyone else is enjoying their gaming experience, let me know what your playing, happy gaming.

Tony 🙂
