Vintage has more Platinums than me, but only around 800 trophies.

It's sad, man. I won't go rent Hannah Montana or anything, but if game is cheap and looks even vaguely interesting, I'll check the trophies and scoop it. 

It's kind of good in a sense, as I have tried some games that I might not have normally. Pure Football looked like trash, but turned out to be an awesome soccer game.

I got 1404 trophies and you got 1704.

I'm trying to get  the Disgaea 3 platinum right now but that looks like its never gonna happen. at least not anytime soon. damn game takes forever just to start getting the bronzes.

The trophy system is cool, but I feel like the most annoying trophies are bronzes for some reason.

 

[NCtwin]

You already know how I feel about this...

The trophies in that game are ridiculous. I beat it before trophies were patched... I have been putting off going back through.

Once you get them, you need something like 18 million gil to upgrade everything.... and the best drop you can sell (that drops regularly) is worth $50,000

Almost all of them have to do with Item world. I HATE Item World. It has too many levels. not to mention you also have to go through the land of carnage afterwords.

[h1]Max Payne 3 re-emerges in Edge cover story[/h1]Last week's Max Payne 3 teaser from Rockstar has turned out to be a surprisingly timely lead-in for Edge Magazine's latest cover story. Edge posted the cover art for its new issue today, featuring Payne (back to a full head of hair), and noted that the magazine would hit UK newsstands on April 12. Of course, it's already in the hands of some subscribers -- and you know what that means.

While few details can be gleaned from the short excerpt that Edge itself posted online, full scans and article summaries have emerged across forums and gaming sites, spilling all the beans. The Edge preview gives no indication that, even during all this time laying low, MP3 has undergone any starts and stops -- it's still set in São Paulo, Brazil, and Payne will still be all bald and brutish during points in the chronologically nonlinear plot (the game's missions are going to bounce around).

Instead, the article suggests that Rockstar's meticulous pursuit of perfection has slowed development to a crawl (the release date is still noted as "to be confirmed"). Lead development studio Rockstar Vancouver has labored over delivering "a more fully realized cinematic experience," according to art director Rob Nelson (in Edge's excerpt), using NaturalMotion's Euphoria animation engine to blend the cinematic and interactive elements of the game into a seamless experience -- and Edge marvels at the result in the level demonstrated to the magazine.http://

"And though this is a more linear game for us," Nelson adds, "people want to be constantly surprised and entertained in new ways." Of course, "the main mechanic is still shooting" and MP3 will retain the series' core gameplay features -- bullet-time, bullet-cam, shoot-dodge, dual-wielding and health pills -- while building in new elements, like a cover system that's still being tweaked. (No further word on multiplayer.)

Perhaps nothing is more indicative of Rockstar's commitment to getting the game right than the decision to bring back James McCaffrey to voice Payne (despite an earlier report to the contrary). Not only his voice, but McCaffrey's full acting abilities will be on display, as he and other actors have been recorded in group mo-cap sessions. Rest assured, Max Payne 3 is another big-budget Rockstar production that sounds to be humming along in high gear. "He's coming" -- no doubt about it now.

Need to head over to a local Barnes & Noble and check this out.

Would be dope if R* manages to get the game out  by the end of the year.

 

[spidermachine916]

i'm loving socom 4, def. buying this!

 

[chicagokid23]

every Call of Duty server known to man is down

 

[irocktmacs]

Hmm, did Anon strike again?

 

[zk1mpls]

Darn. It was already hard enough to find some games to join...

EDIT: CoD servers are fine. They're still in their terrible usual state.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

So I finished Uncharted 1&2.
Great game and story, but...

what was up with all the freaky monsters?
At one point during the first game, it thought I was playing Resistance.
Then, the second game got sasquatch/avatar dudes on roids.
Also, I guess there will never be a treasure/artifact hunt story without some Nazi involvement.

I was pretty surprised at that.
The only time I was surprised with my PS3 was when Chris and I would play COD4 to the wee hours of the morning, creating an e-friendship, only to find out that he was a dirty ginger all along.
Honorable mention would also go to the time we all found out Boost wasn't black.
He's just some Asian dude that drops the N-bomb more than a 12 year old on XBL.

White Knight Chronicles 2 will be hitting North America this summer sometime.

Disgaea 4 will be hitting North America in September.

Disgaea 4 promises an all-new story, characters, and user-generated content. Fans can even help NIS come up with names for a weapon, a skill, and an NPC in the game. Submissions are being accepted through April 21, 2011 (that's two weeks from now). Three winners will have their names credited in the game text. 

Head over to the official Disgaea 4 website to learn more.

White Knight Chronicles 2 = good news

I honestly dont know how it got poor reviews, loved the combat system. Only thing i do not like is how difficult trophies are to get and the online play

 

[Bad Religion]

^
I liked the online play. Questing with other people was fun. Finding ways to get the S rank for each quest.

That save was the one thing when my first PS3 bricked that I was angry over losing. 

 I had about 32 quests done with S Rank, beaten the game twice, a huge village. 

The trophies were a little OD, though. 

 

For WKC2, if we can get enough NT'ers, we should start doing quests once it comes out and get through as many as we can. If you're down Supreme, I assume we can find 2 others at least. Jason played the first one a bunch.

 

[supremeape]

^^ yeah im game

im still playing WKC, trying to get through it twice

 

[av1r3x]

With some downtime I'm finally able to play some LBP2, & there are some pretty dope levels online. Amazing..

New Uncharted 3 info; plot, characters and motorcycles

Friday, April 08, 2011

Issue 57 of the Official Playstation Magazine has an exclusive look at Uncharted 3, as well as a chat with the developers, which brings to light a bunch of new information regarding story, characters, and sand. Endless, endless sand. The magazine should be available in stores now.

- Drake spends most of his time exploring the Arabian dunes of Rub' al Khali.

- The game features "all the things you'd expect in a desert" - including sandstorms and mirages.

- The sand creates a 'dynamic environment' for Drake, with altering geography.

"We've done a ton of research...The way sand blows over and curls over the tops of dunes, the way it displaces and flows - it's almost a liquid" - Amy Hennig, Creative Director
- Drake and Sullivan are in the Empty Quarter, looking for the Iram Of The Pillars, a kind of Arabian Atlantis.

- Not all locations are dry and arid; you'll be taken all over the world to places like London and a jungle temple.

- The story is based around Lawrence Of Arabia, and his fascination with Iram Of The Pillars.

- Bike sections are all but confirmed. There's a newspaper cutout in the teaser trailer that mentions motorcycles, and Naughty Dog says "We have a strong tradition of vehicular gameplay, and we try not to repeat ourselves".

- The story to the game is still being written and altered, but villain Katherine Marlowe is part of an secret order that dates back to Queen Elizabeth I.

- Drake's Deception will most likely not be his last outing; "The Uncharted franchise was never conceived as a trilogy"

- "Of course, there are recurring characters from previous games" - I guess that's Elena confirmed, then?

- There's a new melee system, with features like Drake picking up a bottle from a table and smashing it over an enemy's head. There are also new stealth moves and mechanics.

- "We'll be sure to alert everyone if a public beta is in the works this time around".

There's loads more info, as well as brand new screenshots, within the silky pages of the magazine. We implore you to rush to the newsagents and snap Issue 57 up now.

Can't wait for some Max Payne 3 footage.

 

[Bad Religion]

Playing Tomb Raider: Underworld, I have a much greater appreciation for Uncharted. 

Its not an awful game, but the camera and controls are no where near as tight as they should be.
