The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Yeah, I finally got it, took me just over a week, was a great game, and even though I’ve got the platinum trophy I will definitely play this more. I think I will make some videos of this one as there are lots of challenges, contracts, hidden stuff etc… I was really impressed with one of my scores on China Town, US average was around 53,000 and the world average was a little higher at around 57,000 and I managed a score of 152,000, so cool.

I did eventually have to check online for the last couple of pieces of evidence that I had missed but this was a lot of fun, one of the best games I’ve played since Skyrim, the music was exactly right, Hitmans voice was perfect, the accidents you could use to kill enemies was also a lot of fun, a really good game with a great story and many extra hours of playability.

Will go back to Bioshock Infinite and Resident Evil 6 over the weekend, then looking forward to playing The Last of Us, from a gaming point of view I’ve had a great week, hope you all are enjoying your gaming too.

Hi all,

Got caught up playing Hitman Absolution and I’m about 4 trophies shy of platinum, I’m actually playing the professional mode for that trophy then I just have to go through one more time to get the 100 challenges. This is my second playthrough and it’s still great fun, there are so many different ways to kill enemies. I really like the sniper rifle and enjoyed getting the 47 pro headshots.

If you get this game make sure you check out the challenges for each level as these give score multipliers and upgrades on your skills etc.. The online play is very fun, you create a contract (another trophy) and others can play your contracts and like them (another trophy), you can also compete in competitions using your contracts or your friend’s contracts. You can also check your scores against other players or friends to see how well or how badly you did.

The good thing about creating contracts and playing them online is that none are impossible as you have to play the contract yourself while you’re creating it, the harder you make it the more contract points/dollars you get, a fairly easy way to hit the $1,000,000 (another trophy). A great game with a great storyline and very fun to play. You can complete story in a day or so, but if you really get into it you could spend days going through each level stealthily. If you don’t buy this one at least rent it, you will enjoy it tremendously.

Hi all,

I’ve been having a hard time finding a decent game to play lately, tried a few out but nothing’s grabbed me in a while. I decided to give Cloudy with meatballs a try as it was supposed to be a really easy platinum, but I got so bored of this I quit it and sent it back.

I’ve recently started playing the Tomb Raider Trilogy and have started Tomb Raider Legend, have played through the story once and now I’m going to have to go through again to get the rest of the trophies. I’ve also started playing Sniper: ghost warrior and I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to platinum this one due to the fact that the kills online in the multiplayer only register if you play ranked matches, trouble is no one is playing ranked matches, I really don’t know why.

If anyone happens to still be playing this one, let me know if you want to play some ranked matches in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, V.I.P, and Capture The Flag. Will post some more as I get to play more games, but I plan to be on here more now than  I was before, happy gaming 🙂

Hi all,

Finished story mode once, had to start a new game due to missing two trophies, got 80% of them at the moment. Wanted to mention that if anyone is going for all trophies in this game, be sure to perform each skill a few times that the tattoos offer, each tattoo is a skill you get from experience, trouble is you can only unlock some skills by actually using previously learned skills, this was one of the trophies I missed. This is in part due to the fact there are hardly any enemies if you finish story mode and continue.

Another trophy I haven’t managed to get yet is to kill an enemy from a zip line, parachute or hang glider, just haven’t been able to find any enemies near a zip line as yet, hoping to get it soon though. The co-op trophies are a bit harder as I’m not prepared to pay for an online pass just for six trophies so have to play it when one of my sons is free from their games, which will probably be never, lol.

Looking forward to playing Tomb Raider next with Bioshock Infinite after that. If you like action/adventure/shooter type games you definitely should try out Far Cry 3, it’s a great game, but be prepared for some bad language, there is quite a bit of it.

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,

Yep, I’ve decided to play two games a day now, playing Resident Evil 6 during the evening and Hitman: Absolution during the day (time permitting). Hitman is a great game that has come a long way since the first one, has a good story, great graphics, and many different ways to take enemies down, which keeps it exciting. It’s a very easy game to get to grips with, by the time you’ve played the first tutorial part the setup is pretty good.

Resident Evil 6 was a pleasant surprise for me as I didn’t think I would enjoy it so much, the four separate stories from a different member’s perspective really does give it variety, some are easier than others but so far I’ve enjoyed every one. I’ve played Leon, then Chris, I just finished playing Jake today and started with Ada but I’m having a few problems with that, I’m sure  I will sort it out eventually, lol.

Definitely two games worth your time, I think Hitman is going to be a fairly short game as I got 25% of trophies in just a couple of hours of play, but it is good enough to go through a couple of times, I’m sure the professional options will make it much more difficult.

Well, that’s all from me today, happy gaming.

Hi all,

Not too bad, took me four full play through’s to get the platinum, yes, it should have only taken me two, but I enjoyed it so much I didn’t care too much, I harvested one too many little sisters so had to go through a fourth time, had a great time with it (again) and got me another platinum trophy, that’s 5 now, almost level 9.

Got Hitman: Absolution on its way so will be playing that one soon, also started playing Resident Evil 6 and am quite surprised at how much fun it is, trophy hunting in a big way at the moment and enjoying myself at the same time, can’t be bad. Won’t be getting any more games after Hitman due to I really really really want to play The Last of Us so am hoping to finish all my games by 7th May so I can take my time on that one, maybe even make some more videos.

That’s all for now, hope you all are having fun with whatever games you are playing, happy gaming.

Hi all,

After getting platinum for Hitman I decided to load up another two games, not new ones but good ones, first one is Rage and the second one is Dead To Rights: Retribution, I’m also playing Resident Evil 6 so I’m really trophy hunting while enjoying the games I love to play.

I’m also going to send off for Skyrim again, I got the platinum for that on my other account so this gives me another excuse to play this game again, it was a great game and I’m looking forward to playing it again.

Hoping to get The Last of Us in time for my birthday next month, but if not I’ll look forward to playing it later in the year. One of my sons has taken over playing Hitman and when he’s finished with that then I think I’ll make some videos of the different challenges on that game. I would also like to make some videos of Skyrim as there are some good funny moments in that game, maybe do some voice overs to replace the actual dialogue with some fun stuff.

That’s all for now, hope everyone’s having fun with the games they are playing.

Hi all,

Sorry for not posting in a while, but I do get carried away once I get to playing a game I’m really enjoying it. The latest on my list is Far Cry 3, I really didn’t expect to get hooked so easily on this game but it’s absolutely great. I’m loving it, there is tons of stuff to do and the storyline is pretty cool too.

I’ve also got Tomb Raider which is coming tomorrow or the next day, which should also be cool, and I also took advantage of the PSN offer of spending $50 and get $10 back, so I pre-ordered Bioshock Infinite which I will now be able to download one minute after midnight on the 26th of this month, how cool is that? Which, means it only actually cost me $49.99 instead of $59.99, awesome.

There are some pretty awesome games coming out this year, also there is Sniper 2 Ghost Warrior, I enjoyed the first one so this one should be pretty cool, then you have The Last of Us later this year, which is certainly going to be another game of the year game, just hope I can get that one the day it releases, we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m still in the process of trying to get a recording system setup, but I’m short of a couple of cables, once I have those in place I should be able to start doing the video walkthrough’s again, so looking forward to that.

Well, that’s about it for now, happy gaming.
