All PS3 Trophies

I didn't even have to open this thread to know what was coming.

Every time I see a new topic by you with only one post it costs me money!!

I've had to pick and choose myself lately. Last year the amount released from September to November was just crazy. And when these kind of CEs started popping up first they were usually around the €70 mark, now they seem to be averaging over €100 a pop.

Think I may just set up a new thread called “SE's to make 1773's bank manager cry”

Hmmm might have to add this to the “buy” pile

I'm just waiting for the holidays on this one. I assume a lot of people are, too. I could really go for some wingsuits right about now…

Currently have this game residing in a small backlog. Have only redeemed the online pass but haven't actually popped it in yet. Going to immediately do co-op first so I can enjoy the single player. Hopefully I don't get bored quickly

I just have that shitty poker trophy and the co-op to get the plat. I suck at poker!

If you've not already gotten the poker trophy I found the best way was to just go all in on your first go regardless… Don't even look at your hand, just go all in and hammer the 'skip boring ass animation' button… I hate poker based sh!t in games!! (Red Dead)

After pissing about for 20-30min trying to properly play a game i have no idea about and losing, I found that a good few times it would win and bust 1-2 of the other players, meaning you only have to beat 1-2 with decent funds… And if you lose it only takes like 10sec instead of 10-15min, getting the $1500 playing the $300 matches didn't take too long at all…

The online co-op I though was a pretty standard affair, although the Weegie char. was class  Pretty spot on  Getting into the level you need can be a pain if you're not hosting but the fact that you can do it offline is surprising in the wake of the 'online pass'…

So I got the Plat. on the 1st , and 100% on the 2nd… I can say I really enjoyed it and for the first time in a while I'm glad I got all the DLC (Insane Ed.) It wasn't perfect, a 'holster weapon' option would have been nice… And it is by no means 'Skyrim with guns', wtf

It took me just under 40hours to 100% everything inc. the DLC compared to my 180hours+ I spent with, the pretty broken but awesome as fook, Skyrim… Think someone got a little to excited when they wrote that… I could go on at length about the difference!! Epic compared to Far Cry 2 but it's really got me thinking about Just Cause 3 more than anything, I would still play JC2 over FC3… And even JC2 wasn't perfect, the trophies were a GRIND  and the whole 'Plat. breaking' 'Bus/limo' glitch that, praise Allah, got patched…

I've read people moaning about all the side quests and it seems dumb as sh!t they would complain at in game content  Hunting to gain better holsters seemed pretty real (as it can get in a game where over the course of half an hour you turn from a scared tourist into a killing machine), the medi quests were a good laugh at times but never actually hard and the kill quests were pretty cool armed with a sniper and upgraded take-downs… The story was a bit iffy perhaps, but not terrible and there were some really nice story segments/effects and the graphics I though were really nice, guns look good!!

Even getting the relics was relatively fun? Or perhaps I just like collecting sh!t  There was even a 'Assassins Creed easter egg DLC mission' if that's what you might call it!? I'm also glad about the ending I chose, because from watching the other on Youtube it seems like I made the right choice

Doing the final Hurk DLC mission after finishing the main quest with the little speech he gives at the end really felt like it wrapped the whole game up nicely for me… Well worth the money IMO…

Thanks for the tip Doc, I actually got the trophy doing pretty much just that. Only two co-op levels left for the plat. I'm doing them with my brother so we're both getting exactly the level we need with no re-runs. It's a fairly well developed co-op but I'm finding it the buggiest part of the game. Nothing game-breaking but causing a few irritating restarts.

I've played Just Cause 2. I don't remember my overall game completion percentage, but it's in the high 90's, because 100% is basically impossible. The point is, I've played it. It's still one of my favorite games, which is why I've still got it kicking around. I couldn't possibly make the argument that it's objectively better than Far Cry 3, and I don't think it is. I would say the music, sound effects, gun feel, gun selection, gun customization, graphics, story, voice acting, graphics, and animations are all objectively better in Far Cry 3 than in Just Cause 2. Speaking of weapons, did you just say Just Cause 2 has a better weapon selection? Far Cry 3 has every weapon Just Cause 2 has and more. Then you can customize each weapon. Just Cause 2 has the vehicle selection though. Although 95% of the vehicles in Just Cause 2 control like shit. I think the Cougar and the sports car thing were the only land vehicles that I could stand to drive. It did have jets though, which was awesome. The boats worked fine, too.

About the size of the map in Just Cause 2, it's big, but so what? 7 main missions and 49 faction missions in JC2. 34 main missions and 12 side missions in FC3. Just Cause 2 takes a long time to finish because it has a small number of things to do, then lets you do that same thing dozens or hundreds of times. Most (not all) of the collectibles are just a matter of going over and getting them because they're out in the open. That's what they have to do because there's just so many of them. It's takes a long time to get them, but the process of obtaining them is not exactly interesting. Far Cry 3 has a lot of hidden collectibles, mostly relics, that can actually take some thought to figure out how to get to them. And a lot of the times the process of getting them is actually interesting and different.

JC2 has a lot of racing missions, but since the driving is garbage, I wouldn't call it a good thing. Whenever I saw that I had new racing missions to do, I'd always groan because they sucked. I remember one race that has you going around the entire big island, and it was so long and boring and uneventful. The game had a lot of those faction missions, but they got repetitive after a while, too. The shooting in that game is not too varied or difficult or anything. It's like GTAIV where you're really only shooting guys because there's guys that need killing and guns will do it. The fun doesn't come from the shooting directly. You occasionally have fun moments happen that are indirectly caused by your killing of the enemies. Ragdoll physics and such. You can't really put much strategy into your assaults on bases since there's not a lot of variety in the ways you can kill people. I mean, there's lots of ways to kill in that game, but not effectively. I think later on in the game, it was just a matter of getting a helicopter with guns and mowing down the outposts.

So Just Cause 2 has a big world with lots of filler and simplicity strewn about it. You have to make your own fun, which I did gladly. I can see how someone can make enough of their own fun to like Just Cause 2 more. Like if they literally did not care about gameplay mechanics or story or characters or anything. I have the ability to do that sometimes. That's why I was able to enjoy Dead Island while so many others rightfully did not. I just don't agree with the sentiment that spending a lot of time in a game makes it better. I've spent way more time in much worse games than Far Cry 3. Dead Island, for example.

Anyway, I'm not trying to convince you that Far Cry 3 is the better game. I just don't agree with your reasons for JC2 being the better game. If you had just said you had more fun in Just Cause 2 or you prefer games with more game time, then I wouldn't have a problem. You make it sound like Just Cause 2 is obviously superior by a large margin. I think the length of Just Cause 2 makes up for its various gameplay shortcomings and Far Cry 3's gameplay makes up for its length. And if Far Cry 3's length is its biggest glaring problem, then that's not really that bad. It could've had a lot more problems like Skyrim.

In regards to the “Skyrim with guns” thing, I hate that comparison. Many of the things I've said about Just Cause 2 can be applied to Skyrim, with many more things left unsaid.

I was trying to catch up before the return to MP3, man! Now this game'll be completely overhyped by the time I get to it Just Cause 2 is awesome and I was actually hoping for essentially a First Person, smaller but smoother version of it with a tense masterpiece of a story. There'd be no huge explosions or crazy scope but that's all I want from it. So is it basically that, Doc?
