Guys, TWD won Game of the Year!! It's nice to see that they got a good few of the awards right in what was an absolutely atrocious show of douchebags talking about a topic I doubt they knew anything about. That's OK, though, because while they can make a bunch of shitty jokes and advertising up the wazoo, the actual gaming community stood up and represented what we actually cared about. This year COD didn't win shit. Borderlands 2 got best shooter and best MP. The indie game genre had light shed upon it. Dishonored won best action. And finally, what I was most happy to see: in 5 excellent nominees, a game that could make you cry won over everything else this year. While it was a slow year, it showed that if you wanted a totally different game, you can get it now. Viva la indie!

After platinuming MGS3, I wanted more of Big Boss so I dug up my PSPgo and bought MGPO. After about an hour and a half, I gave up on the controls. How did I ever play PSP?! A second stick is a necessity for quick camera shifting in a stealth game!

Said fcuk it, read the story in the MG Wiki, and played Peace Walker.

#90 and 91 are both Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater.

God, I loved this freaking game. I can't even imagine how blown my mind would've been if I played it on the PS2 back in the day. The story and characters are awesome, the gameplay's fun and not overly complicated stealth, it's of a pretty good length with tons of replayibility… Just wow. I'm ashamed to say I missed out until late 2012.

Those on rail collectibles sucked ASS!! You had to snipe them with Eva's crazy driving of the bike and she doesn't stop driving! I had to reload a manual save 30 times at one of them because you literally wait two minutes for her to get to the damn thing and the shot window's over in a split second! It was the only part of the game where I wasn't enjoying myself.

PS3 and Vita double platinuming for the win!

God, I have 111/227 games 100%. Where to start…

Dante's Inferno is the first denied 100% that comes to mind, mainly because they were one of the first DLC trophies I'd ever attempted. A majority of the user generated goals were simple but the developer challenges are downright insane. I consider myself above average in the action genre but 100 waves of pure ferocity in an upped difficulty alone?! No thanks… Hell, if you can somehow beat the 15 dev solo trials, you'll have to find someone who shares your insane dedication to 100% for the 10 coop trials!

Eat Lead:The Return of Matt Hazard. Yeah, if you know what I'm talking about odds are this is also incomplete for you. It's not the actual difficulty that'll make you flustered in Max Hazard mode but the increased amount of glitches. I'd restarted 3 friggin' times just to fall through the gameworld in the exact same spot. C'mon! Add that to the increased amount of damage you take and recklessly annoying AI and I called it quits.

The Medal of Honor reboot in 2010. I accomplished everything in campaign pretty easily, but it was the online that made me get tired of this game. Every map I played I was just pinned at my spawn by some sniping asshole, and when I wasn't, I couldn't get a cruise missile to save my life. My FPS skills have significantly improved since then so I could probably do it legit but I'm assuming the servers are barren wastelands now. To assemble a team would require 24 people or so (that's more than a text chat limit!) so I really don't know what to do with it.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. If I'd stuck around when I played this regularly, I know I could've got this 100%! The problem is that I can't just play competitive multiplayer every day and every double XP weekend, so when I returned a lot of die-hard tryhardz had the best gear so I was getting less than I did when I played it usually. I could still scrape together a performance placing in the top 5 but that wasn't as fun as regularly being MVP and leading teams to objectives like a boss. So I ditched it to play something more enjoyable and totally forgot about it. Now there's like maybe 10 people still playing? Fcuk online trophies.

Shank. I hate this game! It got so repetitive and dull and the bosses are either stupidly easy or impossible to kill without a trick. I had to push myself to beat it, only to discover I didn't set it on Hard I said screw it to another playthrough. If the first one felt stale by the time I had killed the second boss, I couldn't imagine another complete go-around on a slightly harder difficulty.

Limbo. This is a trial and error puzzle game. The errors are extremely violent and happen quite often. What made this game playable was that the checkpoints are literal seconds before your mistake(but to the point where you can correct them in time). Now imagine going through it in a maximum of 4 errors and time pressure. Ugh… I love the game but I'm not keen on memorizing every inch of it's dark and blood stained trial rooms.

Resistance 2, AC Revelations, and Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves. I lumped these together for pretty much the same reason. The trophies left are grinds and require a partner that doesn't really want to do them. Me and Jack'll get around to R2 eventually, and the same with my other partners for the other 2, but they're all so grindish that I'm not going to be the first one to bring them up to complete

Madagascar Kartz and Start the Party!. After the disapointment and rage bridled up inside me after losing the trophy contest, I just snapped these two into teeny tiny pieces.  Completely shitty games with frustrating time trial trophies… Just forget 'em. Unless a gun is held to my head or those are the last two games I need for 100%, I'll forget they ever existed.

I have quite the list, eh? Was considering adding two more but that's too much writing on my part and too much reading on yours. More than one of my trophies have gotten away…

Bagged the Assassin's Creed 3 plat for #89. Apparently, I could've finished what little I needed for Completionist before redoing everything for the Encyclopedia trophy because 100% sync DOESN'T require the Encyclopedia side mission. Oh well, another 50+ hours down the drain… ***NO PROFANE LANGUAGE PLEASE*** GLITCHES!!!!

Welcome to the community, AGENT_P6. Contributing some guides would be awesome. I don't think we've actually had a trophy guide (well ones that weren't Sly Cooper or whatever) in two years! I'll shoot you a friend request tomorrow morning.

Alright then, I apologize if I looked like an ass. Got 2/3 of these soul crushingly hard AC3 minigames done. They programmed the AI to be ruthless board game wizards on Expert level and none of them are fun at all. When I beat Morris, I jumped out of my chair and yelled “YES! HELL YES!!”. That feeling was similar to conquering another 2 of the DLC Ops in MW3 with 1773R3D33MABL3 today. The kicker today was how the level designer completely trolls you by letting you wander into a secret room and killing you 3 seconds afterward. Speaking of trolling, they put a surprise suicide bomber at the end of the fcuking 6 minute long torturous mission! Also, I feel so bad for these two poor soldiers always getting these suicide missions. Who sends in two people into a heavily fortified castle complex while one's strapped to a helicopter with a wimpy grenade launcher and the other's tasked with collecting 4 documents off dead bodies?! Who flies people onto a hotel roof, drops them off and tells them to destroy a convoy of military helicopters (Opulence much?!) and just leaves them there with two parachutes and a floor matt full of shitty guns?! Who sends in a single man tasked with destroying a Russian battleship with nothing but C4 and an RC helicopter with miniguns?! Who sends in an attack plane with a downs syndrome pilot and a single footsoldier tasked with rescuing a SINGLE survivor?! And why are the enemies sending the entire hotel staff(Who are all Russian spies, I guess) and several dogs in Juggernaut units after us? Why are there over 100 enemy units at a power station? Do our commanding officers find it funny or did we just screw one of their daughters?! Either way, this DLC is horrible but I can't help but laugh at the raw stupidity of it.

@scotty243 Most military shooters try to evoke realism and more of a military experience than a 40 hour emotional, personal, epic poem or whatever. That's not a lack of effort at all. Y'see it's called “Campaign” for a reason, because it's not a “Story Mode”. In a campaign, it's more of a dull excuse to shoot things. Think of their target market. That's exactly what they want: an excuse to shoot things. In games that are like this, the singleplayer's usually tacked on and not fun to play for long stretches of time but the Black Ops have mixed a “Campaign” and “Story Mode” feel to where you actually care and you're shooting things for fun! Everybody wins, including the people that expect plots as thick as maple syrup.
