cronocyde Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi guys, I buy this game recently and I plan to platinum it on Vita first. My question is: if I use the cross-game feature and earned the platinum on the PS3 (which would be my second platinum for the same game), would it be considered cheating and will get me in trouble here on PSNProfiles.com? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! No, cross-saves isn't considered cheating. Sony came up with the idea to generate more sales/profit. And having platinum trophies from games with stackable trophy lists isn't considered cheating either, unless you cheated to get the .

delboy_rules Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i hope not - i have (didnt realise - but i will happily take the trophies ) done the same with motorstorm RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kirbz Posted December 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2013 Trophy auto pop is the same as hacking to me, since you don't go through the EXTRA effort of platinuming the game again. It is not seen as cheating on this site (I think it should be, it's just as cheap as the socom hack), but most people do consider it cheating. Why should you earn a platinum if you don't earn it again? I platinumed Demon's Souls, Disgaea 3, and Brink multiple times, but I earned them every time I got the platinum. I could go off and 'hack' myself 3 platinums in the next 5 minutes through sound shapes, but that's just being cheap. If you want two platinums, then earn them both. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GilgaMax305 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Personally I don't see it as cheating...I just see as a way of treating yourself with another quick plat! I wouldn't want to play through the same game twice just after I got the plat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HowIPendragon Posted December 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) The reasoning behind "if you could platinum it once you should just platinum it again" is plain stupid. I played the game ONCE, and passed it ONCE. This doesn't mean I won't ever touch it again, or won't replay a challenge for fun, but to have to go through all the work again is a tedious waste of time. Not to mention you aren't going to have that same feeling you had when you first acquired the first platinum. (I think it should be, it's just as cheap as the socom hack) It isn't cheating. To cheat is to violate the rules and/or guidelines in order to achieve some goal. I earned all of those trophies, and if Sony wants to reward me 3x as much for my work then how am I not entitled to it? Bottom line is, if you earned them ONCE, you've earned all of them, so go for it. Edited December 10, 2013 by rsoto1125 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post antithesis Posted December 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2013 If it's in the game, it's in the game. I don't have an unlimited supply of time to game these days, so when a "legal" opportunity presents itself to save a bucketload of time, I'll take it. In the end, you have a choice whether or not to take the shortcut to the double Platinum and there's no reason not to do it if you've already beaten the game. No-one else cares about your trophy card. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd rather games not have separate trophy lists but its a bit unfair to get 2 plats for 1 games worth of work. And nope it's not cheating to have two plats for the same game.

Popular Post Major_Kiba Posted December 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) It's not cheating and to be perfectly fair about it if auto pop is considered cheating then boosting trophies is cheating as well since a person didn't earn those legit either.

backslash240 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Nope, but i will not plat a game a second time (i don't have much time free), i would prefer plat another game.

DrBloodmoney Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Its getting the trophies in what Sony considers a legit manner, so bash on.

Dr_Mayus Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like this thing, because with cross buy while I play the home version of the game my girlfriend can play the portable one.

GREAT_HAVOK Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's legit as long as you plat it in legit manner. Hey, you can't please everybody. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

BrunoBomb Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm glad it's not cheatig to use the cross save. I have the Jak & Daxter trilogy on PS3 and is cross-save, also is Guacamelee!, PS All-Stars and others that I don't remember. How does it work? How do you do that? Do I have to do everything again?

BlindMango Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) It's not cheating since it's an official process over Sony's cloud save servers, even advertised by them as a selling point as others said above, is it cheating or hacking? No. However it is no doubt cheap platinum to get with little effort, whether you are okay with having double platinums on your profile is up to you, however many trophy hunters who own a vita have a double platinum. I think the bigger issue here is Sony's complete and utter failure to have one, single list for a game with cross-PS4, PS3, and VITA support all on that one list - Instead, most cross-platform games have their own separate lists (even though they have the exact same trophies). There's been only a handful of games that have done it correctly so far as I've seen. Sony still doesn't seem to be trying to fix it either, for example, recently Sony has been publishing two identical lists for half the games on PS4 so far.
