ThatMuttGuy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I'm solo boosting, getting around 30K a match. I did the math, and that's around 1.6% of the total exp needed for level 60. I'm 15% of the way there and I'm already bored to tears. I guess by "True Commitment" they mean commitment to the platinum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted January 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2018 Have you never done any grinding in a game before? Watch some videos or listen to music as you're playing and it'll go by much faster. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going to do a couple of matches a day so I don't go crazy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartBros Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 You're lucky you're only having to reach max level once for this trophy. I did the MP back when this game was released, and had to prestige 3 or 4 times in order to unlock the General character, who thankfully isn't needed anymore. THAT was boring! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsimabuse Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 For me it´s worse that I have to do a new playthrough mainly because of the shitty conversations I didn´t know before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythRaider1994 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It’s not that bad in comparison to many other games. Trying filling in the sphere grid in Final Fantasy X... *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie838 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 This grind is light in comparison to a lot of others ? 2500 kills in UC2 is way worse, and you need at least 6 people to do it. The most kills you got was 10 per match at about 20 minutes per match. At least you can do this on your own. I watched a complete season of Dexter while I did it and it didn’t bother me at all. The VR missions in MGS2 are painful and driving 1000 miles in Mafia II. Try 10002 kills in Battlefield lol and you’ll see this is eeeeeasy... ?

ManifestDestinee Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Grinding for this trophy reminded me of Assassin's Creed Black Flag solo wolfpack grinding. Brutal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CypherNova139 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Fortunately with Tomb Raider you can avoid the idle kick penalty by pausing / unpausing the game. Set the controller to turbo the Start button (or just press Start every 20 seconds) and play FFA mode all day long and just get XP from winning the match over and over while you actually play something else. Otherwise the grind gets old. At least the prestige isn't needed anymore, phew. Edit: The only downside is ... well Sony thinks Tomb Raider was my 2nd most played game last year at 96 hours in the 2017 recap email. At least 2/3 of that time was idle boosting the XP.

Can you set up turbo on a standard PS3 controller without using a computer or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CypherNova139 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Best way I know of with a standard controller is to use a CronusMAX. I also have a script setup for this idle boosting as well. (i.e. this is what I used) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing on the 360 and completely ignoring achievements because of how ridiculous they were. I somehow have the PS3 version, but I will never put it on my profile.
