This was absolutely brilliant, thank you for the text guide.

Did this part yesterday, and it is quite annoying. You need to do them all without losing all your health or falling off the track. Failing the race time is fine, you can keep re-running the track, but if you die or fall off, all snowmen will reset. Super annoying when you get to 7/8 and miss a jump.

I only see the PS3 version on your profile. PS3 had a single world wide trophy list. It was the PS4 version that had a unique German stack, and as noted above, the UK digital version of the game shares its list with the German stack.

That is horrendous. Kudos on the plat. I think I’ll be skipping this, Hopefully your tips help others. I’m not sure there is a suitable punishment for devs who put this type of shitty trophy in their games

How long would you estimate this AFK grind to take?

This site won’t recognize any restored MP servers that aren’t open source code. Can’t comment on UC3, but KZ2 was already noted to be a no go as PSONE is closed source.

There seem to be quite a number of US achievers now. Is there a new patch, or are these all digital players?

There are no online trophies for these games. I don’t think you can even play them as online coop, I believe it is all local coop only. Edit - I stand corrected, you can play coop online. I don’t know if that’s still up, but given the games are delisted, I assume it’s not very populated. Regardless, everything can definitely be completed offline in local coop

No, you need to create a UK account to redeem them. Once you do so, you can play the game on your US account, but will need to have the UK account activated on your console.

I got one from there earlier in the month, no issues redeeming, but it immediately went out of stock after. So if you find one, don’t delay. As @CelestialRequiem noted, I think there is an increasingly dwindling reserve of these available.

Because it is a 3rd person shooter, with an single, unusually difficult race mission thrown in. Honestly, the game is more like a 4/10 for the shooter aspect, and a 4/10 as a racing game. But if you don't typically play racers, having that one mission thrown in there is a significant hurdle. I recently completed it, and there really isn't anything overly difficult. I didn't struggle too much with the race, needed maybe an hour to clear it, and actually found the driving mission prior to it to be more annoying (where you have to drive an intentionally sabotaged vehicle across the city on a tight timer - it was quite irritating). But I also have played a number of racing games. Certainly there is nothing in here that would be any more difficult than a game like DriveClub. For a lot of people that enjoy shooters, they may never touch a racing game. For them, the difficult spike of the race is likely a platinum blocker. Hence you get a moderately difficult game because you have 2 dissimilar genres, both of which are around average difficulty, but which would be a definite struggle for anyone who just doesn't routinely play racing games. If you are comfortable with both, this is a pretty straightforward game. So you end up with a high relative platinum rarity, despite having a number of people who just can't get the platinum.

Thank you (and also @Jelly Soup I will look into these and may try to make a pack for the PS3. I assume all went smoothly otherwise with the DLC? Everything was still available to download from the store?

Glad you got it working! Can either of you share a bit more detail on this? I’ve never heard of this method before and, as noted above, I stilmhave the PS3 version in the backlog. It sounds like this would be much easier and cheaper than tracking down the various bases?

I think it’s the character discs that you are getting confused with. As noted, the game portal works for both consoles, as does all the DLC add on discs. The only thing you need to buy twice is the base game which is obviously different between the PS3 and PS4. For the character discs, these are the small bases that go on the portal. DO NOT BUY THE LEGO MINIFIGURES ON THEIR OWN. Each DLC add on came with the LEGO characters and a small base - what you need is the base. You don’t actually need the minifigure at all. The character disc is that small plastic base. They look like this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IbEAAOSwSetdj-T1/s-l300.jpg These go on the portal and that activates the character in game. You don’t need the actual minifig to be on top of that plastic disc. I don’t remember which actual bases you need for all the dlc, it’s been a long time since I played the PS4 version and I simply borrowed the bases. I bought the 0PS3 disc but I never played it.

Have you tried deleting all game install data (other than your game save), and starting fresh, perhaps just with the DLC packs that are remaining incomplete?
