Rejim Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This goes mainly to people who are not completionists So my issue is the following: I'm a solid F1 fan, and although I'm aware that 2011/2012 won't make the cut because of the online pass I'm ok with that since I haven't started them (even though I do have them physically) - have all the rest from 2013 (soon to be worked on) to 2022 and it's still a nice series to have completed. My question though is regarding the F1 Race Stars, which has its servers shutdown in March as most of the PS3 F1 titles. I do possess it, so I can achieve the platinum, but alas I do not have the DLC, so cannot 100%. So, what would you prefer, leave it as it is as well, or plat it (a nice ultra rare to add) but never able to 100%? I think that if it had just one DLC I would have gone for it, but with three it does get a low percentage without them...which makes me wonder. Even though in my case it's specific, you could transfer this thought to any game really...is the plat on itself valuable enough knowing the DLC will never be achievable?

Helyx Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 If it was important to me, I believe I'd find a way to obtain those DLCs and get the 100% completion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARIXANDRE Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Congrats on your milestone. I actuallystarted with F1-2010, 2011 and 2012 and stopped. Indeed, somebody is bound to have those DLCs, much like DRIVECLUB. My only worry is the state of the servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rejim Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 I am sure that people still do have the DLCs somewhere, but they would have to trust their account to me, which unless it's someone physically in my city that would be present and check, don't think would happen. But I do get that the general percentage could go up at any point in the future even with the servers down, just not 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HuntingFever Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 Personally, I would just get what trophies I could, then move on and write off the rest, because some things just aren't meant to be. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpine9Tails Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I have this debate with FFXV as one of the DLCs got messed up and from my understanding the full 100% is no longer possible (without some weird patch manipulation that I'm not inclined to do). I am leaning more towards just doing the platinum anyways and getting what I could. The mindset should be that the trophies don't stop you from playing a game you want to play (sometimes it is hard taking your own advice though lol). F1 Race Stars is that cutesy looking one right? I wanted to play that one but never got around to it lol. I say you go for it anyways. Props to it for having the servers up for this long too.

It's not weird patch manipulation, you just make your console download an older version of the game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for Comrades You just redirect the download request to an older version, that's all it is The guide is very detailed, but really it's only a few steps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rejim Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Appreciate the opinions! I think in the end I won't resist and I'll go for it. Good thing is, with some luck, if I get the DLC afterwards, I could reduce the unobtainables to just 3 trophies, so wouldn't be that bad, just a shame. 😅 But internally, not too fond of starting a game I know is already doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1 is a ps3 game. if you have the disc of a ps3 game you can just play offline and dont update it. most discs are 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulpine9Tails is talking about how she won't do the Charles Proxy method to download up to a certain patch in order to get trophies for Final Fantasy XV Comrades DLC. Rejim is asking opinions on totally different thing: He wants to play F1 Race Stars but do not possess the DLC (Which I assume is delisted) and since the servers are closing soon, he asking himself if he should go for the platinum but forget the 100% because no DLC or just skip the game altogether. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
