d3m0nd00d Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This is a two subject post - the first leading into the second. So the other day I was checking out gaming stats (cause I'm nerdy like that I guess) and I noticed someone got the plat in NG2 in a day and an hour. OK this is an obvious hack, so I went to the persons stat page and saw a couple other hacks - one being Trinity Universe plat in 20 minutes. Not trying to start a huge hacking debate, but why would you do this? These are awesome games, who are you going to impress? Your friends? They will more than likely call you a dumbass for hacking. This shit is beyond me. The second part of my post is about duck360. I read small article about them in the Official Playstation magazine (good read), but they said one of the reasons they are doing this is to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for the PSN account with the most trophies. Well if you go to his account you will notice with his fastest plat is SOCOM: Confrontation 2min 36sec. Now we all know about this hack, but will this disqualify him from getting in the book? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 First part, I don't really get it myself. I mean, I've done some less than savory things to get a few trophies (not platinum's though), but that's really not for bragging rights... I just want my games to be as completed as I can reasonably do without straight up hacking. I guess people just want more platinum's. Whether it's to satisfy something in their own heads or pretend like they actually earned it/brag about it. Second part, I would assume it would disqualify them... but is there anyone currently in the Guiness Book of World Records for platinum's yet?

broy300 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 To me that is one of the reasons why I love this site so much. It's fun to glace through these awesome, stupendous, unbelievable trophy profiles and realize what a bunch of sorry, cowardly, cheating hacks they are. What amazes me more is that they come to this site willingly. Trophy teams, no problem does not affect me in the slightest. Yes they will be DQ'd from Guiness unless they can prove they can plat those games in the stated amount of time, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade_VC Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 In regards to the first part: I don't get it either. I mean really, just how pathetic does someone have to be to hack a video game. In regards to the second part: Yes. Guiness does indeed verify things such as this, and go to great lengths in doing so when any "record" involves electronic media. Many times, records also have to be witnessed by either a crowd, historical document(s), or a representative of Guiness; neither of which applies in this case. No one can submit a "record" such as the one you describe and prove that they alone accomplished this feat or record, nor repeat such for a official Guiness representative.

antithesis Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It's simple really - the measure of a man is how many Plats you have and how quickly you achieved them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechingOwl Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If I may take this slightly off topic, if anyone has looked at my trophies they will see that my fastest platinum, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, is 0 seconds. This isn't because I hacked it, I believe it's as I only signed up to the PSN the 5th August 2010, and I had only just gotten the platinum at most two days beforehand. My only theory why it is 0 seconds is that the game was still inside my PS3 when I signed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azakos Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It's also important to note that none of really know how the statistic for time to complete a trophy is calculated. I'm pretty sure Sly doesn't either; he just knows how to pull that stats. I haven't had the time to check out a lot of Fastest Achiever stats for various Platinums, but I'm sure there are others with sketchy numbers. LittleBigPlanet 2's Platinum's Fastest Achievers are all under ten minutes.Whether these other games with sketchy numbers are also hack-able, I don't know. I suppose my point is to give them benefit of the doubt since we didn't see with our own eyes that they hacked that SOCOM Platinum? Or at the least, to worry about our own stats and have fun collecting trophies for our own collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlteredFormula Posted October 13, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2011 There will always be cheats and obviously to these guys, plats are serious business, which is why they do whatever they have to do, to get them. Just pray that they never offer up your soul to the devil to get the Dark Souls plat! You will also find that its usually these same people that tell everyone how great they are at gaming. The question I ask is are they actually enjoying the gaming or the false sense of achievement? But guess what, whilst they are doing that, I'm building the business I work in, up to state where I can hopefully retire early. I'm spending time with my missus, my daughter, my family. I'm having a few beers with my friends, going on holiday and generally being happy, rather than having to fill a void in my life with meaningless trophies and boasting of how I conqured seven worlds with only 1 extra life. These guys only matter if you give them the attention they crave. Let them crack on, If they honestly are deluded enough to think that they are going to get some kind of official world record, then chuckle and think about how f**king empty the life they live must be. If players/cheats like duck360 have achieved anything in the last 4 years that actually matters, I'd be surprised. (Happy for anyone to prove me wrong on this.) Just think, one day these guys are going to grow up and realise that their PSN account didnt change the world, and that life moved on without them. Having learned no life skills due to doing nothing but gaming, you'll probably find them in a back alley blowing tramps for a dollar, trying to relive the glory days. I guess what I'm trying to say is, live and let live, dont worry about what they are doing, anyone thats interested enough will see that these people arent what they portray themselves to be. And although this isnt aimed at genuine trophy hunters who have a decent life balance, If this offends you, its probably because you also live your life this way. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 GWBoR won't allow them. In fact, I'd doubt they would even consider it a category since it's too easy to falsify and hard to keep current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's news to me about duck getting into GBoWR. From what I know he's doing this just to beat Hakoom. Could be a glitch or hack, who knows for certain. I have some timestamps glitched when the leap year bug hit. Namely my Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLEFIELD RECORD U.C.0081 & RESIDENT EVIL 5.

Agent-Oranje Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What if I told you GWR did approve our great achievement =) Then I would ask you if there is a monetary compensation for getting into the GWR? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broy300 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What if I told you GWR did approve our great achievement =) The key word is "our". I don't know how many people are on your team, but to me I'll recognize an individual over your accomplishment any day. I can look at the top 250 people, pick out 4 individuals, combine their trophy totals and decimate your "GWR". Come to think about it, I'm wasting my time writing this, I have to get back to gaming and having fun. Good luck with your future "achievements" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreakon139 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What if I told you GWR did approve our great achievement =) My first thought was that they either: a. Don't take it very seriously. b. Are a bunch of old fogies who don't really get "trophies"/"achievements". c. Did a ton of research and decided you still had the most platinum's after removing all the hacked ones. Either way, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iraqoz Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What if I told you GWR did approve our great achievement =) Ok then congratulations your achievements will be known world-wide because you made a difference in our world.

Roswellian23 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Duck360 are you going to categorically deny that zero_q8 does not earn trophies on the account?

He has mentioned it numerous times on .com Personally I think your scum. Looks like your other buddys a hacker too https://psnprofiles.com/zero_q8 Here is his FB info that states such: Personal Information duck360 is a PlayStation3 account made by 3 brothers from Kuwait to collect Trophies. Fahad Alsaad Aziz Alsaad Mohammad Alsaad + Fawaz Ahmed ( Zero_Q8 ) You can see for yourself: http://www.facebook....1150998?sk=info There is also this via a interview on PS3Trophies.org: 10) How do you feel about using game saves? "I feel bad. I wish i never used them I was stupid wasn't thinking straight but i don't feel so bad about them. I hacked less then 10 games out of 130 so more then 90% of my trophies are unlocked normally. I cheated but I'm not a real cheater." What is a real cheater, someone who hacked 20% of their games? I personally consider someone with a single HONEST Platinum to be far superior over someone with 10% of their games hacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyItsSpanky Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 We will see how regretful duck360 is of cheating if Sony ever drops the banhammer similar to how Microsoft did.
