All PS3 Trophies

First of all, the painfully obvious. Play the game before you attempt to write a guide. You look like an idiot otherwise. Now for the guide.

Before You Start:

1) Play the game through atleast once. Explore all features you can: This will give you basic knowledge for trophies that you haven't gotten yet. For Example: In shatter, you go through the first chapter two(i think) chapters to unlock the score bonus mode. It doesn't make sense for you to play the first chapter, and instantly think you have the knowledge for a guide.

2) Read some other guides: Read a guide with lots of praises. These praises mean the guide is good, and that it would be a great example to follow.

3) Refrain from using Leet Speak or text talk: Lol it not cool wen u tak liek dis u no?

4) Remember who you are writing for: You are writing this guide for another gamer who owns the game. You have everywhere from newbies to pros. You don't need to explain the controls to every single trophy. The person you are writing for has a general knowledge of the game. 

In the Guide:

This section is from personal experience. This is NOT the only right way to do things. This is just the way I found easier personally. Just because there is more than one way to o it, doesn't mean you cant screw it up.

1) Proper capitalization: I think that most trophies are capitalized, and since you are writing a trophy guide, and you are listing the trophies from the game, yours should be too. 

2) Trophy Names AND Descriptions: A description of a trophy, is a basic idea of what you need to do for it. You can, however, group trophies that are similar together. An example are the Katamari Forever Size Trophies. You could group those trophies together and make on big description.

3) Organization: I organized my guides by the how you get the trophies (single round, story modes, mini-games etc…) You can organize them that way, or trophy type (bronze, silver, gold), pretty much any way. But throwing them all on a guide in no specific order is generally misleading.

4) The guide: After the description of trophy/trophies, make sure you include an ATLEAST basic walkthrough to getting the trophies. It is a trophy guide, not a “look-at-a-trophy-list-then-restate-the-trophies”

FOLLOW UP:

1) Make sure you check your guides often to see if there are new questions or comments that you feel must be addressed. 

2) Be honest with your answers: If you truly don't know, don't try to tell.

I wish to have any suggestions you fellow guide writers may have along with these tips.

I have made two guides already, but sifting through some of the guides for my new games, I noticed they were terrible. 

yeah like 99% of the guides on this site are top notch but maybe these tips will help someone who has no clue where to start at on making a guide. since everyone wants a chance to win a psn card lol

exactly

everyone on this site pisses excellence lol

If you are already Uber1337 at writing guides, then remember that this is mainly for people attempting there first guide. However I saw a guide for a game(I think infamous or prototype) where the guy said hed never played it before.

Are we so cool that we eat TNT. Because then your urine is red.

I'm not sure that I agree 99% of the guides on here a great.  I've read a few where it really does seem like the trophy list was recopied, and just a description was written of what the requirements are to earn it, but no real advice on how to go about doing this.  Like for the collectibles trophies, people write “find all the collectibles”.  Well, where the f****NO PROFANE LANGUAGE PLEASE*** are they?!  And then I have to question the ones that say something similar and “heres a link to a collectibles guide”.  First off, do you have permission to use that guide within your own?  And secondly, does that still count as writing a guide?  Its more of a guide on how to find a guide.  Then the other end of the perspective is that for some games, for the trophy guide to include all these details, it might as well be a full strategy guide for the game.  So its a bit of a gray area, but this is something I've noticed… and no offense intended to anyone who has gone through the effort of writing something up, its certainly more than I've done.

i think if your making the guide you have to have got platinum or at least the majority and the ones you have missed are obvious but take ages eg resistance 2 killl 10,000 enemies
