Popular Post Platisfaction Posted December 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) 2nd Annual PSNProfiles Guide of the Year Awards - Nomination Thread Welcome to the Guide of the Year Awards nomination thread! In the next two weeks you will get the chance to nominate the best examples out of the 361 trophy guides which have been published between December 2 2014 and December 1 2015. I will update this thread every other day so you can keep track of the current standings.Here are the rules again: The nomination thread will be open for two weeks. You can nominate any guide you want except your own. However, you are required to give solid reasons for your choice. Do not vote for a guide solely because you like the game (or worse: the author of the guide) but because of its outstanding quality While there are plenty amazing guides to choose from you can only nominate one guide, so think this through. After 15 December, PSNP staff will choose the three winners from the top ten most nominated guides. The total number of nominations is irrelevant for our decision. The guide which got the most nominations is not necessarily going to win - the only thing that counts is guide quality! "Why is the guide team involved in the nomination process?", you might ask. Well, click the link and find out. Since staff will be deciding the winners, their guides will not be eligible! Co-op guides with staff members will be eligible, the non-staff writer will get the whole prize in this case. PSNProfiles will provide additional prizes for all guide contributors so long as they contributed a meaningful amount to the guide. We track all edits so this will be checked. There are going to be some juicy prizes for the winners: 1st Place: 3 (YES, THREE!) PS4 or PS3 or VITA retail games of your choice (regular retail value) 2nd Place: 2 PS4 or PS3 or VITA retail games of your choice (regular retail value) 3rd Place: 1 PS4 or PS3 or VITA retail game of your choice (regular retail value) Almost all of the guides in the first 19 to 20 pages of the New Guides section are eligible. Thanks to the awesome work done by TheGreatPapyrus you don't have to click through all those pages and pages full of guides, just toggle the spoiler below for a complete list of all eligible guides: バレットガールズ英雄伝説 閃の軌跡ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道、極めます！ - ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道、極めます！ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道、極めます！ - ガールズ＆パンツァー 戦車道、極めます！Supplement Guideハイスクール DxD NEW FIGHT涼宮ハルヒの追想テイルズ-オブ-ヴェスペリア-激次元タッグ-ブラン＋ネプテューヌVSゾンビ軍団Aaru's AwakeningACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZONACE COMBAT INFINITYAgarest Generations of War ZeroAgarest: Generations of War 2AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead & UndressedAmnesia: MemoriesAMYANARCHY REIGNSApotheonAr nosurge: Ode to and Unborn StarArcaniaAssassin's Creed SyndicateAssassin's Creed UnityBack to the Future - Episode 1: It's About TimeBakugan: Defenders of the CoreBastionBatman: Arkham City - Catwoman DLCBatman: Arkham City - Harley PDLC DLCBatman: Arkham KnightBatman: Arkham Knight - A Matter of FamilyBatman: Arkham Origins BlackgateBattle Princess of ArcadiasBattlefield Hardline by ThaKingTropyBattlefield Hardline by JakeRaines 71171Battlefield 3- Close Quarters DLCBattlefield 4 - Dragon's Teeth DLCBattlefield: Bad CompanyBeyond Good & Evil HDBeyond Good & Evil HD - CollectiblesBLOODBATHBloodborne by Saltyie and PlatisfactionBloodborne by LittlelostkiwiBloodborne - The Old Hunters DLCBorderlands: The Pre-SequelBorderlands 2 - Easy-pop Trophy Guide for Returning PS3 PlayersBroken AgeBroken Age - 'Let's Get this Good Time Over With' Speedrun WalkthroughBroken Sword 5 - the Serpent's CurseBroken Sword 5 - the Serpent's Curse - WalkthroughBurnout Paradise - Big Surf Island DLCBurnout Paradise - Bikes DLCBurnout Paradise - Boost Specials DLCBurnout Paradise - Cagney Update DLCBurnout Paradise - Cops and Robbers DLCBurnout Paradise - Legendary Cars DLCBurnout Paradise - Party DLCBurnout Paradise - Toy Cars DLCCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Havoc DLCCall of Duty: Black Ops II - Apocalypse DLCCall of Duty: Black Ops IIICall of Juarez GunslingerCastleStorm - From Outcast to Savior DLCChivalry: Medieval WarfareCode: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~Corpse Party BLOOD DRIVECriminal Girls: Invite OnlyCrysisDanganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair GirlsDanganronpa: Trigger Happy HavocDanganronpa 2: Goodbye DespairDays of Thunder NASCARDead Island RiptideDeadly Premonition: The Director's CutDeadman's CrossDefense Grid 2Demon Gaze Global EditionDengeki Bunko: Fighting ClimaxDestiny - Flawless RaiderDestiny - The Taken King DLCDishonored Definitive EditionDJMAX TECHNICA TUNEDogfight 1942Dogfight 1942 - Eastern Winds DLCDogfight 1942 - Sand of Africa DLCDragon Age: Inquisition (PS3)Dragon Age: Inquisition (PS4)Dragon Age: Inquisition - Jaws of Hakkon DLCDragon Age: Origins - Darkspawn Chronicles DLCDragon Age: Origins - Leliana's Song DLCDragon Age: Origins - Return to Ostagar DLCDragon Age: Origins - The Golems of Amgarrak DLCDragon Age: Origins - The Stone Prisoner DLCDragon Age: Origins - Warden's Keep DLCDragon Age: Origins - Witch Hunt DLCDragon Ball Z: Battle of Z - Unlockable CharactersDragon Fin SoupDRAGON QUEST HEROES: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight BelowDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3DRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - Five's Chapter: Hunger DLCDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - Four's Chapter: Frigidity DLCDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - Three's Chapter: Play DLCDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - Two's Chapter: Bliss DLCDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - Zero's Chapter: Fate DLCDRAG-ON DRAGOON 3 - (Drakengard 3) CollectiblesDuke Nukem ForeverDuke Nukem Forever - Collectibles and Trophy Farming Locations WalkthroughDuke Nukem 3D: Megaton EditionDustforceDying LightDYNASTY WARRIORS 8 by starcrunch061DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 by kittyxiiiEscape PlanEscape Plan- Director's Cut DLCEscape Plan - The Asylum DLCEscape Plan - The Underground DLCEther OneEverybody's Gone To The RaptureEvolveEvolve - Arena Mode DLCFairy Fencer FFairytale FightsFalling Skies: The GameFar Cry 3 Blood DragonFar Cry 4Far Cry 4 - Valley of the Yetis DLCFat Princess - Fat Roles DLCFeeding Frenzy 2FIFA StreetFIFA 13FIFA 16FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HDFINAL FANTASY XIII: LIGHTNING RETURNSFINAL FANTASY XIII: LIGHTNING RETURNS - Quest GuideFINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm RebornFrozen Synapse PrimeFuseFuse - Echelon and CollectiblesF1 2010GauntletGeometry Wars 3: DimensionsGet Off My LawnGet Up and DanceGoat SimulatorGod of War IIGod of War III - Missable Trophies/CollectiblesGod of War: Ascension by Matticus182, simula67 and onuosfan God of War: Ascension by c0l0mbian216 God of War: Ascension - Complete Collectable WalkthroughGod of War: Chains of OlympusGrand Theft Auto IV- TLAD DLCGrand Theft Auto V - Grand Theft Auto Online: Heists DLCGrand Theft Auto V - Rockstar Editor DLCGravity BadgersGrim Fandango RemasteredGuacamelee!

Sir_Bee Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) I am still here, so I can make my nomination I wanted to nominate damon8r351's Pier Solar guide. http://psnprofiles.c...ts-Trophy-Guide. This guide deserves to be nominated, because it took a lot of work, and is Incredibly in-depth. It even includes videos for each area to guide finding all the chests. In my opinion it is a perfect example of the high caliber of guides this site should be striving for. Edit: Damnit, I was in a hurry trying to get my post in at work, and I didn't read it . I actually made this nomination a week ago because I thought I would be gone today, so I was in a hurry. I did make next 4 people make posts without nominating anyone, so that has to be worth something Edited December 1, 2015 by Sir_Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chosen Undead Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Can't wait to see how this turns out! I wonder if any of my own guides will be nominated... EDIT: I have decided to nominate TheGreatPapyrus's Tales of Vesperia guide: http://psnprofiles.com/guide/3083-%E3%83%86%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BA-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96-%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A7%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9A%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2-Trophy-Guide It's a fantastically detailed guide for a massive game, packed with tons and tons of detail, tips and tricks, and extras - and it's a Japanese-only game to boot! Definitely one of the year's best efforts imo. Edited December 1, 2015 by MrSwagtwiceover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 You all did a fantastic job with your guides this year! Now it's time for the fight!

MarsipanRumpan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Finally!!!!!!I want to nominate one of the best guides ever imo, so usefull.My first nominee is Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep trophy guide (ExHaseo and BlindMango) its SUCH a great guide. It helped me out a ton with my first Ventus playthough, and really the way they have the 'guidelines' for how to complete the game. It helps so much and its ON POINT. Thanks to the guide I completed both Ventus and Terra with a BREEZE, and I will definitely use it in the future when Im playing as Aqua. WIN, YOU DESERVE IT GUYS!

Knotty Dude Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 First of all I would like to thank the guide team for their efforts with reviewing all of this large number of guides so thank you very much. It's really hard to decide which guide is the best, 15 days it's a fair period so I can take my time and check multiple guides, specially the guides that helped me this year. Good luck for all the participants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_RaceKing_X Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I vote for Potent_Delusions Battlefield: Bad Company Trophy Guide This is a solid guide with rock hard info on how to obtain every trophy. With a beautifully constructed roadmap. I always though the plat was unobtainable for this game, then I saw his guide and was surprised! It almost made me want to buy the game, even though I have no interest in it lol. All together I thought this was a well put together guide, it stands out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknerd Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) A big shout out to the guide team and to all who dedicate their time to making games easier for the rest of us. If I just had to nominate one it would be Demon Gaze Global Edition. For those that don't know Demon Gaze is a wizardry type turn base RPG with little tolerance for the player. The guide was instrumental in me obtaining my plat. Reasons for Nominating: It includes numerous quality pictures, not only of boss forms and stats for the different classes, but also different maps. In a wizardry type (first person dungeon crawler) game maps are paramount. The time taken to either take or find that many screenshots would be quite large. It includes details about the importance of party class selection, shows numerous pictures detailing their differences, displays recommended levels for bosses, and provides stats best fitted to upgrade for each class so the player can make the decision best for them instead of blinding choosing a class and guessing which stats work best. It includes information that is not presented in the game and is extremely useful. Example: Pick up a Healing Rod. ANYONE can use it; not just healers. This saved me so much grief since healers are not available at the start of the game. It includes detailed tables on where to find collectibles. For an example: to describe how to get the mushroom collectibles the author had to list the location, the specific district within the location, the coordinates within that specific district, which demon they were using, and even which direction they were facing. Edit: I do note that some of the map links take you to a different site displaying those maps but it should be noted that the author appears to be the same person and that they are only referencing their previous work originally published on another website. If this disqualifies the guide let me know and I'll choose another. Edited December 1, 2015 by Bucknerd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boooda Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I nominate Saltyie and Platisfactions bloodborne guide. Really feel they went above and beyond what a normal guide has. Such as a general FAQ section, extensive tips for each boss fight, recommended levels you should be when attempting trophies and a crazy detailed item drop guide. This was one of the clear guides that stook out for me when I was bouncing between a few trying to get this plat. Really great work and a guide worthy of the game itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'll nominate the God of War: Ascension - Complete Collectable Walkthrough guide. It was detailed enough that I didn't need to use a video guide for the collectables and that I didn't need to replay any levels. Reading it prior to starting another game inspired me to write a guide in a similar style. Hopefully those reasons are solid enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I would like to nominate damon8r351's FINAL FANTASY XIII: LIGHTNING RETURNS - Quest Guide. It is the most helpful and detailed guide I've seen for lightning returns and while I had already platinumed the game by the time it was Published it would have been really helpful to have for some the more annoying quest that game.

ExHaseo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm going to nominate TheFinalEmblem's Tales of Vesperia/テイルズ オブ ヴェスペリア guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 i nominate Saltyie and Platisfaction's joint effort in creating an outstanding guide for Bloodborne. the road map to the coveted is carefully planned out and extremely well written. the amount of detail is staggering. one can find in depth descriptions for key items, recommended levels and fighting tips for every single boss, and how to get to every important location in the game. there are also plenty of videos and screenshots provided to help those playing as well. even though i personally believe everyone's first playthrough of a from soft should be completely blind, if a player is lost, confused, or just want a couple tips, this guide will provide everything one could possibly need. it's clear how much love was put into the creation of this guide, and i believe the creators should be well rewarded for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I nominate Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Trophy Guide a joint effort between TheFinalEmblem and blue_flare9001. It is an excellent guide. Their roadmap is clear, efficient and logical, and will get you all the trophies with minimal fuss. When it comes to the individual trophies, the requirements for some of which are incredibly complex, they have done a fantastic job. Just look at the work that went into this one. Good use of the tools available in the guide-maker makes it very clear what the player has to do, when and where they have to do it, etc. Additionally, they take the time to explain the underlying game mechanic - which is not provided by the games themselves - so that players understand why they are doing the things they're doing, not just what they have to do. There are numerous other trophies in this guide which are just as well presented and explained. It really is an excellent resource for anyone who wants that platinum, and should be considered for a prize.

Dragon-Archon Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I nominate: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Trophy Guide; and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Trophy Guide both joint efforts between TheFinalEmblem and blue_flare9001. Both are excellent guides. Their roadmaps are clear, efficient and logical, and will get you all the trophies with minimal fuss. When it comes to the individual trophies, the requirements for some of which are incredibly complex, they have done a fantastic job. Just look at the work that went into this trophy. Or this one on the second game. Good use of the tools available in the guide-maker makes it very clear what the player has to do, when and where they have to do it, etc. Additionally, they take the time to explain the underlying game mechanic - which is not provided by the games themselves - so that players understand why they are doing the things they're doing, not just what they have to do. Overall, two excellent guides. It would make a lot of sense for one or both of these to win a prize. If only one, then the prize should probably go to Danganronpa 2, as it is the slightly more complex game with more modes. You're only allowed to nominate 1 guide.

Karnacharya Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'd like to nominate hasegawa2010's MIND≒0 guide. The English in it might be a little rough, but it's detailed, informative, and packed with supplements to help players. It also features Japanese text to help players playing the Japanese version of the game, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priere Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I also nominate hasegawa2010's MIND=0 guide. I still have yet to earn the platinum because i'm putting it on a short hiatus from playing it, but i can still give enough reasons for it to qualify. Each trophy, or i won't say "all" of them and rather most, are explained splendidly with more than enough reason. The screenshots taken are a real helpful point, even if the player already knows about it. The "recommended" setup for each boss battle on Extreme is also really helpful, it helps keeping things fresh and to the easiest. The writer also took the time to translate names and such for Japanese players. The english may be off at a few parts, but it is no problem as the point is there. And i'm not really an Ace at english either so. Finally, the guide includes almost perfect details about each trophy, and this is enough to please me as i like everything to be as detailed as possible, even if it is silly.
