For those interested here's my second Hogglike run. This run was done on patch 1.0 and the previous run was done on patch 1.07. That's two hogglike runs on two different versions of the game, but still no trophy. Quite frankly I cannot think of anything else to make this trophy pop, so I guess I am done with this game. If anyone still wants to try or needs tips on this game feel free to send me a message. I spent a long time strategising and I feel like those strategies are as good as optimal. Also if you have any thoughts/ideas on what's causing this trophy to not unlock feel free to share! I'm always open for discussion and would love to hear ideas/theories. My personal thought it's just an error in the code. Every other trophy unlocked fine, but Hogglike is just broken.

Decided to get back to this game and once more I managed to get a Hogglike clear. This time around it was on patch 1.0, but still no trophy!!! Never did I expect this game to be unobtainable. I've always had a strong feeling it could be done, but figured no one completed this game because of the difficulty and RNG factor. But to see it bugged like this after putting in so much effort is quite sad. Oh well.. at least I can proudly say that I tried everything I could to unlock it. On top of that my 2nd run was crazy fast and good. Tonight was actually the first time I came back to the game after a 5 month break, and I managed to beat the entire thing within 3 hours. I'm very happy about that, because even though it's bugged at least it didn't take me ages to find out (like my first run which took such a long time).

Syndicate Honestly I didn’t like this game at first, because the aiming felt clunky. Also the game runs like crap. But despite that I gave it a chance and I actually ended up liking it quite a bit. The game felt like a mix of Mirror’s Edge and Battlefield, two games I really enjoyed on the PS3. The co-op part was pretty fun. You have to beat nine missions on expert which seemed challenging at first when solo’ing it, but with more players and improved abilities it gets immensely easier. Other than that you had to complete a long list of challenges and misc stuff, but at least this could be done against NPC’s. So farming this during missions wasn’t an issue. The only issue I had was the freezing stuff, though. As I mentioned before the game runs like crap. So it often happened that the screen would freeze for 5-10 seconds and then continue. Or sometimes it would totally freeze my console. I had a total of 4 freezes where I had to restart my console. I often times joked that this game would kill my PS3, but to be fair there was quite a big chance of that actually happening. As for the campaign it was pretty good and I didn’t encounter a single freeze during it, so that was a big relief. Glad I got around to playing this game. Not looking at the flaws and freezes it was a decent experience, especially for a game that is nearly a decade old. Fear 3 This game was pretty bad lol. Me and my friend started of playing the survival mode, but there was this immensely cheap mechanic in the game. Basically there was this little girl running around and if you were to look at her or shoot at her she’d just insta kill you. Felt really cheap and RNG based, but fortunately it didn’t take us many attempts to beat this mode. Can’t say that I cared for the story of this game. I just skip the cutscenes and play through it hard. The story and score runs were easy, but there were quite a bit of challenges you had to complete. Took a bit of time to get through those, but at least the game had an excellent tracking system so you could easily spot which challenges were left. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Decent game I suppose. Couldn’t care much for the story either, but the gameplay was alright. The DLC is probably the best part about this game. Had a lot of fun playing through survival mode with friends. The multiplayer was quite a grind though and is probably the reason why this platinum is ultra rare, lol. Tier 2 1. Ninja Gaiden 3 (1.49% ; 0.61%) 2. Call of Duty: Black ops 4 (0.71% ; 0.35%) 3. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (1.25% ; 0.48%) 4. Syndicate (2.35%) 5. Fear 3 (2.54%) This brings me to my 2nd tier completed. Even though I don't have any swaps remaining, I will list my third tier regardeless. If I end up play and/or finish some UR games in the meantime so be it. I'm actually not sure how much I can work towards this tier or be much more active in this event, as I'm also planning on starting The Elder Scrolls Online soon enough. So I will probably play that for quite some time. Tier 3 1. Mortal Kombat X (1.71% ; 0.97%) 2. Dariusburst (0.49%) 3. GTA IV (0.93% ; 0.47%) 4. Lost Planet 3 (1.72%) 5. WET (3.64%) Thank you Spaz, you are too kind. But Dariusburst is not as brutal as it seems. It's just a lengthy platinum and there's one challenging no hit run, but it doesn't look overly difficult. I have a feeling that the other shmups on the most wanted list are harder. Though I haven't done the run myself so I shouldn't really judge about it so quickly. I guess I will find out soon enough

I would like to swap Dariusburst for Syndicate. I was making good progress on Dariusburst, but the mission mode is tedious and time consuming, so I'd rather take a bit more time for that. I will return to the game soon enough though. Will finish it in my next tier for sure.

I have completed 100% of the multiplayer challenges, but the trophy "Hacker" (use breach ability 300 times) still hasn't unlocked. I've used this ability over 1000 times, so what gives? Does it only pop during the campaign? Or does it have to be done with a specific application? Perhaps the normal breach in the co-op doesn't count? 🤔 EDIT: Ok nevermind! I managed to obtain the trophy in the campaign! Seems like the co-op default breach didn't count for the trophy.

I had the same issue. The guide forgot to mention that you also have to perform a flawless victory. I'm not sure if you can do a flawless victory during the earlier fights. Most likely, but to be sure I did flawless and fatality on the 7th opponent and the secret unlocked.

Invasion is back today. About 18 hours left

The guy was playing on practice mode, which always grants a rebirth talisman upon death. I highly doubt they would add that in for the normal missions. As for the missions themselves they look heavily nerfed. The damage dealt by opponents has been reduced significantly. It looks a lot more manageable. Though perhaps it might still be a bit of a challenge.

Ok I see, thanks. No can't find a match either... also crossplay doesn't work. People with PS5 can't play with PS4. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Where is the PS4 trophy list? I don't see any trophies.. not even after doing the tutorial.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Call of Duty is one of my favorite franchises, so coming back to the series is always great fun. Though I must admit that I have some mixed feelings about Black Ops 4. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked this game. But there were some parts that were also a bit less enjoyable. The Battle Royale mode for this game was horrendous. It’s by far one of the worst Battle Royale games I’ve played in recent years. It just feels waaaay too slow for me. Everyone just sits in a building and camps. And then there’s these broken perks, which silence your footsteps so you can never hear someone coming. The trophies are also quite annoying. You have to search the map for certain items and perform specific requirements, like getting X kills with weapon Y. This might have not been that bad at release, but since there’s only veterans and sweaties remaining on this game I feel like it became more of a nuisance. Other than Blackout there’s the Multiplayer experience of the game. Now funnily enough this was one of the best experiences I had in recent years. The multiplayer was really enjoyable. Small maps, high paced gameplay and a whole’ lot of kills! Just the way I like it! Had a lot of fun going for those trophies and even after obtaining everything I like to keep playing. Finally there’s zombies. This was another enjoyable portion of the game. The maps looked really nice and the Easter Eggs weren’t too bad. I feel like the Easter Eggs have become easier overtime. With the addition of Elixir’s and special weapons your chances to survive increase immensely. I remember vividly during the older COD games how much pain some of those Easter Eggs could be. So I’m happy they added these features and hopefully they will stay in future games. I have also made up my mind on what games I would like to play for my current tier. Nothing too crazy Tier 2 1. Ninja Gaiden 3 (1.49% ; 0.61%) 2. Call of Duty: Black ops 4 (0.71% ; 0.35%) 3. Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours (0.49%) 4. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (1.26% ; 0.47%) 5. F.E.A.R 3 (2.55%)

Very straight-forward list. Seems like most of the trophies unlock by simply playing the game, which is very nice. The game looks really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to play it.

Sometimes I like to scroll through a trophy list and click on one of the trophies to find more information about it. As for base game trophies they always display information from guides, but how come DLC trophies don’t display anything? Days Gone is a good example. When I click on a base game trophy it shows me the information from the guide, but when I click on a DLC trophy it doesn’t show anything, despite that there's several DLC guides written? Some might say that this shouldn’t be that much of an issue. “You can always search the DLC trophies/guides manually” Yes, that is correct. But it surely makes it more of a hassle to gather information. Especially when a game has like +20 DLC packs with corresponding DLC guides written for them. And it also feels very inconsistent with the rest of the system.

If we're allowed to do suggestions for the Most Wanted list and it's challenging games you're looking for, I would like to chime in and suggest Raiden IV: Overkill. It's by far the hardest shmup I have completed to date. The bullets travel so fast that you can barely anticipate on them. You have to clear two loops (18 total levels) back to back with no continues. That run alone takes approximately 3-4 hours and you have to do that for each of the difficulties (4 runs of these total). Next to that you have to beat one loop (9 levels) by controlling 2 ships simultaniously. Very brutal run and easy to mess up. I noticed shmups like Ikaruga on the Most Wanted list, but I found Raiden IV: Overkill much harder than that. Additionally I would like to suggest Persona 4: Arena and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Both of these games are on-par, if not harder than SSFIV, which is also mentioned on the list. Now I can't say much for P4A, as I haven't played that game yet, but from what I heard its certainly up there. As for UMvC3 I did complete that game and I find it slightly harder than SSFIV. Mainly because you had to string a lot longer combo's to each other. The timing was more forgiving though. Finally I think that the Most Wanted list can be improved a bit. By looking at this list you value difficulty. The hardest games are on top, whereas the easier games are on the bottom. Though I still think that some games should be rewarded less points and some games should be given more points. It's mostly Badland and Nuclear Throne that are bothering me. Despite the rarity of these games I wouldn't rate them higher than a 7/10 in terms of difficulty, whereas a game like SSFIV is much, much harder and is sitting on the bottom of the list. Other than that I think the list looks really nice and most of the games are well positioned. That's all from me. I don't have too much to report about my progress for this event. I'm currently working on Black Ops 4 and we're doing the Easter Eggs at the moment. We've done the hardest ones already, so only some easy ones left. After that it's time to cleanup, which shouldn't take too long. So might finish this game sooner than later
