Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted October 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) This post has become full and as a result I've started a new checklist, therefore this checklist hasn't been updated. Hello everyone and welcome to my lair of platinum trophies. I live in The Netherlands and I’ve officially been a gamer since 1998 when I got my first console (PS1 of course). I play almost all kinds of genres, but my favorite is RPG. That’s because these games have a very intriguing story and the developers created a unique world and lore to explore. My least favorite genre is sportgames, because they don’t have a story at all. I've included some external links to the guides I've (co-)written and to pictures, soundtracks and short vids in the game descriptions. And I've added spoiler tags to reduce the ridiculous amount of times you have to scroll down, which is especially useful since the checklist covers more than 1 post. And the checklist is also spoiler free, so you can read everything you want without having to worry about it. On a side note the date on which I achieved each is written as: dd-mm-yyyy, because that's how we do things in The Netherlands . Also, let me know what you think of my collection and my opinion of each game (and if you actually read everything).Without further ado, let me show you the platinums I’ve collected over the years. 1 - 25 #1 Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time 21-9-2009 My first plat, this really was a milestone. I liked this game, because of the over-the-top action, unique weapons, humor and the story intrigued me. Although it’s a little short for a R&C game compared to the first four PS2 versions and Tools of Destruction. Nevertheless I’d recommend this game. #2 Dragon Age: Origins 9-2-2010 I must’ve spent at least 100 hours on this game, all its dlc and the Awakening expansion. It was awesome to choose the race, background and your personality (being good or a selfish bastard). #3 Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince 11-4-2010 This game turned out to be a waste of money. The main story was completed in 5 hours and the majority of the time I was looking for crests (collectibles) scattered in and around Hogwarts and completing challenges. #4 Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune 12-4-2010 This is one of the best PS3 games imo. It has a unique and intriguing story, the voice acting was excellent and the game felt like an interactive movie. #5 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 15-4-2010 This game wasn’t so bad and it actually fit in the overall SW story. The highest difficulty was a real challenge. I mostly used hit-and-run tactics for the boss fights (with the emphasis on run), especially during the Bull Rancor fight. It went like this: run, run, dodge, run, run, dodge, run, hit (and die) rinse and repeat. #6 Bayonetta 21-4-2010 Bayonetta is one of those ‘love it or hate it’ games. I personally loved the game (and I’m not just saying that because she looked so nice when posing to summon demons ). Instead of the typical “fighting demons”, you’re fighting angels. Aside from the diverse weapons (and the possibility to use weapons from defeated angels), Bayonetta can use a Torture Attack that is different for each type of enemy. It’s nice to see a game with a female protagonist, instead of a usual male. #7 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 4-5-2010 The second game was even better than the first. Mainly because the story was unknown to me. Uncharted 1 focused on El Dorado, but Uncharted 2 was all about the Cintemani Stone and the Marco Polo expedition. And I knew nothing about this, so I enjoyed every second of it. There were also a few new weapons, the melee combat was improved, Chloe was introduced and the Doughnut Drake skin returned with an ingame joke. Voice acting was, once again, fantastic and the environment was very diverse. Uncharted 1 takes place in the jungles (most of the time), while in Uncharted 2 there were mountains, a city destroyed by a war, temples and train & car chases. Only downside was the small role Sully got. #8 Overlord 2 4-5-2010 One of the funniest games ever created, where you have to be evil. You want to know why it's more fun to play evil? Well because of the perks that come with the job, of course. And you get an awesome background sound while doing evil things. So don't delay, be evil today ! You play as the son of the Overlord from the first game, who becomes the next Overlord and whose rule is being threatened by a Roman-like empire hell-bent on rooting out magic. You still have control over 4 types of minions who’ll happily do everything for their beloved dark master (including drowning at your command or sacrificing themselves to give you health, mana or better equipment). You can choose to dominate or destroy people/towns. Destroying gives you a one-time quick boost in gold and life force (needed to create more minions), while dominating gives infinite gold and life force on the long run (not to mention towns filled with slaves) but takes much longer to achieve. In Overlord 2 you no longer have to choose between a mistress and can have 3. I really hoped for a third game, but it seems the series has been cancelled. #9 God of War 28-5-2010 Sadly I never played this game on the PS2, so the HD remake was very convenient for me. It was very intriguing because I know quite a lot about the ancient Greek mythology, but there were also new elements that the developers made up (like Kratos becoming the new God of War). #10 God of War II 5-6-2010 Story was fantastic, the structure of the island was mindblowing (with the Steeds of Time pulling it together). Only thing I didn’t get was the visit to the Titans in the past. Kratos’ destiny wasn’t intertwined with them until the start of GoW2, so how did he manage to visit them hundreds of years in the past during the war between the gods and the titans? #11 God of War III 6-6-2010 Great conclusion to the story, original items (using the head of the sun god as a flashlight ), Aphrodite looked really hot, fighting the gods was epic (except for that wuss Hermes). It’s a shame some content was cut from the game (fighting Gaia & Zeus at the same time and climbing Mt. Olympus, only to find out you were climbing a Titan who was climbing Mt. Olympus). #12 Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 21-11-2010 I like the Naruto manga and I watch the anime every now and then. This game follows the story quite well. Although the online part needed some more attention. Everyone was just spamming a substitution jutsu were you teleport behind an opponent when he attacks. #13 Assassin’s Creed II 26-11-2010 After playing the very repetitive AC1, I was very skeptical about AC2. So I bought it for €15 and it turned out to be the best AC game in series. The story, setting, soundtrack, weapons and diversity in missions were excellent. The ‘Ezio’s Family’ and ‘Venice Rooftops’ are among the best soundtracks ever made. #14 Dante’s Inferno 31-12-2010 The setting for this game are the 9 circles of Hell (Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery respectively) and I really liked the light and dark powers. Everytime you go to a deeper circle, you come accros a giant chain that you have to break. And everytime you do, there's an ominous laughing on the background foreboding something more sinister than just traveling to a deeper circle. In each circle you face one of your sins corresponding with the 9 circles. The end of the game hints to a sequel, which isn't surprising considering the story is based on The Divine Comedy. This is divided in three parts: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (purgatory) and Paradiso (Heaven). In this game you wield a scythe (from Death itself) and a holy cross. The fighting is way too similar to God of War, but that isn’t bad at all. A downside was that the game’s way too short (7 hours tops on normal). Hard and Infernal mode aren’t quite as challenging as I thought. If you upgrade the cross’ magical attacks and spam these, most demons die real fast. #15 Mass Effect 2 9-2-2011 When Mass Effect 1 was released, I seriously considered buying an Xbox. So the announcement of an PS3 port of ME2 was one of the best moments in history of games. You can choose and/or decide a lot of things during the missions and conversations. If you want to explore everything, you have to play at least 5 times for all conversation options. Luckily there are 6 different classes to choose from and (at least) 3 romances per gender. Savefiles can also be imported so that decisions carry over throughout the entire trilogy. There are some choices from Mass Effect 1 that have an impact in ME2 and/or ME3. Furthermore, Mass Effect 2 has some awesome soundtracks ('Normandy Reborn', 'Suicide Mission' and 'The End Run'). #16 Terminator Salvation 28-2-2011 This is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. It’s filled with glitches. If there are still people considering to buy this game, my advice would be to don’t waste your money on it. #17 Dragon Age II 1-4-2011 Ugh, don’t get me started on this game. I couldn't believe that the same team who created the amazing Dragon Age Origins screwed up so much with this game. At least it looked nice and the female Hawke’s voice actress did an excellent job. Bioware listened to the complains of the fans and created 2 dlcs (Legacy and Mark of the Assassin) that were amazing, showing that they haven't lost their touch. #18 Sly Cooper & The Thievius Raccoonus 9-4-2011 Again one of those games I didn’t buy on the PS2. I really like the cartoony style and the story. It took a while to get used to the health system (one hit and you die). #19 Sly 2: Band of Thieves 11-4-2011 I enjoyed planning a heist, preparing everything, creating the right opportunity and stealing the objects. Every chapter had a different themed open-world. I did have a lot of trouble fighting the final boss with the helicopter. Took me more than 30 retries to beat it , but in the end I prevailed. #20 Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves 1-5-2011 Not much is changed from Sly 2 (don't change a winning formula). You can get a costume to fool the guards and attack pirate ships with your own ship. The most wonderful thing was a chapter with the aviator tournament that took place in the Netherlands. #21 InFamous 20-6-2011 The story was intriguing and the ending was a big WTF moment, when you realize that everything you experienced isn’t what you thought it would be (I know it's cryptic, but it's a big spoiler so bear with me). Furthermore, I like how a bronze trophy has only 1 lightning bolt and every higher ranking one gets an extra bolt (silver 2, gold 3 and platinum has 4 bolts). #22 Burnout Paradise 21-6-2011 It’s refreshing to see an open-world race game. The ingame radio was mostly terrible. I didn’t realize I could customize the playlist until halfway through the game. #23 Prince of Persia 1-9-2011 The story interested me and I really wanted a sequel. Unfortunately, Ubi just released a crappy dlc and ended the story this way. Not being able to die wasn’t an issue for me, because if you screw up you have to restart the sequence. Which also happens if you die in a game. Fighting only 1 enemy at a time made it feel like miniboss fights. Collecting all the light seeds was tedious, though. #24 Final Fantasy XIII 14-9-2011 The story is great, but it’s a shame that the focus has changed from tactics to mashing a button as fast as possible (I still prefer the turn-based fights). When you unlock certain trophies, you also get a PS3 theme (7 in total). This is a nice reward and imo should be implemented in every game. Not receiving money from fights forced me to grind enemies for items to sell. Apparently, it wasn’t realistic to receive money from monsters after fights . But Square Enix thought it would be realistic to shoot magic from your hands and to summon transformer-like beings or that the main characters never have a bad hair day during all the extreme events in the game . Anyway, Lightning and Fang are among my personal list of hottest characters ever. #25 Darksiders 28-10-2011 Darksiders combines the fighting of God of War and the puzzles of Zelda. It’s been a while since I had to think and experiment so much with the dungeons. Both the story and setting (apocalypse started way too soon and demons and angels are fighting it out on Earth) are great and I really like the design of Uriel. It was a bit annoying to spent hours upgrading the sword, only to find out War replaces it with a better sword that’s already maxed out right before the final boss fight. 26 - 50 #26 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 28-10-2011 This piece of crap should never have been released. The story mode lasts 3 hours on normal (5 on the hardest difficulty) and it really adds absolutely nothing to the Star Wars universe. It only shows that Darth Vader has learned nothing since SW TFU1. To compensate the very short story mode, the developers made 10 challenges that range from hard to ‘I’m-going-to-break-that-disc-when-I’m-done’. #27 Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception 11-11-2011 Better than U1, but not as great as U2. The game felt rushed at certain parts (i.e. all chapters with the pirates and the cruiseship are just fillers that add nothing to the story) and there were no mythical monsters (unless you count the hallucinations). Sully got a major part, but Elena and Chloe were hardly seen. I sincerely hope that Naughty Dog will give them all equal screen time, should they ever make U4. #28 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 3-2-2012 It’s a decent game with a nice story, but filled with glitches (at the time). The guild questlines were very short. Still, I enjoyed the game and all the dlc. The battle with Alduin was the same as battling other dragons. So there was nothing epic, new or memorable about it. Here’s what happens afterwards: I just slew the world-eater, so I’ll get an awesome dragon soul . No, his soul went away to bide his time and to return someday. Wait, what now ? Oh well, at least I can loot his skeleton for amazing rewards, right ? No, his skeleton exploded into a gazillion pieces. Oh okay, maybe I’ll get some reward from the people , because you know I just saved the entire world from being eaten . Yeah, everyone from Sovngarde (land of the dead, where the battle took place), who have no means of communicating with the living. But they will sing songs about your heroic deeds until the end of time. That's nice, I suppose . So, isn’t there anyone alive who knows of my deeds ? Oh yeah sure, the dragons. They all felt it when Alduin was slain. So the only ones to know of your accomplishments are conveniently the ones people kill at sight ? Anyone else ? Sure, the Blades who are sworn to secrecy and are being hunted by the ruling elves and the Grey Beards who are reclusive and almost never speak to outsiders. #29 Final Fantasy XIII-2 20-2-2012 Although Lightning was promoted heavily, she only has cameo appearances. Which was a major disappointment. There are only 2 playable main characters, so to replace a third party member you can catch and train pokémon monsters. The story is mediocre at best. The ending was very vague and required an additional dlc to understand it and to see the events that led up to that moment. However, just like in FFXIII, unlocking certain trophies also unlocks PS3 themes. #30 Mass Effect 3 2-4-2012 This is it, the Reapers are here and Earth has fallen in the prologue. It's like Shepard says: 'This isn't about strategy or tactics, this is about survival. The Reapers... are here!' This really sets the tone and it's your job to unite the entire galaxy and end the Reaper threat. After killing a Reaper in ME1 and ME2, you're the galaxy's expert and everyone wants to be your friend. Eventhough the Council declared you insane for believing the Reapers were real (that's right, looking at you Turian Councilor ). I wish there was an option to say 'I told you so!'. ME3 is an amazing conclusion to the trilogy (except for the ending), great soundtracks, great voice acting and a lot of weapons. The game provides epic closure to problems that were introduced in ME1 en 2. These were especially satisfying if you've imported a save file from ME1. Finishing each of the main missions felt like a little ending in the game and at the final mission all these endings came together. However it was a little short (around 26 hours on Insanity compared to 38 hours I spent with Mass Effect 2), there were no side quests only tasks (go there, pick something up and bring it back to me for some cash and war support), there was no final boss fight and the new squad members from ME2 only made cameos. Miranda should’ve been a full time squad member (I would gladly trade her for Ashley/Kaiden and James). The Extended Cut dlc (which is free ) did add some details about the consequences of your choices in an epilogue, which was nice to see. The Leviathan (Reaper origins), Omega (liberating Omega) and From Ashes (Prothean squadmember) dlc should’ve been in the game. The Citadel dlc is designed as a final farewell and after finishing the main dlc story, it gives you an opportunity to do some things with every squad member from ME1 and ME2 (except Legion, Thane and Mordin). It ends with a party (you can choose who to invite) and a group picture. That really closes the ME3 trilogy for me and this would’ve been an excellent ending for the game after you defeat the Reaper threat. After seeing the Citadel dlc ending, I've got no reason to play the actual ME3 ending again. A few soundtracks that I liked in this game are 'Leaving Earth', 'A Future For The Krogan', 'Rannoch' and 'The Fleets Arrive' #31 Mini Ninjas 4-4-2012 Funny game, but nothing remarkable. #32 Trine 14-4-2012 The game is narrated like a fairy tale, which is a unique approach. There are no bosses and you only fight skeletons, which gets boring after the first 2 levels (out of 15). Each level does has its own theme. #33 Assassin’s Creed Revelations 1-7-2012 Decent AC game, but felt more like an expansion (like Brotherhood). There were only minor innovations like a hookblade, using and creating explosives and defending an assassin hideout. The story was extremely short and the Desmond missions were glitched. #34 InFamous 2 17-7-2012 Nice story, new ice and fire powers depending on the karma, different endings and the best innovation is an ingame way to locate the blast shards. Both endings were a bit sad, nonetheless a great game. #35 Alice: Madness Returns 27-7-2012 A great game that is underrated. There are a lot of collectibles, but the game has a great story. #36 Resistance 3 1-8-2012 The weapon wheel returns, weapon are upgraded when used and more importantly there are no multiplayer trophies . I like how the Insomniac logo is integrated into the trophy image. #37 Ratchet & Clank 24-9-2012 Ugh, I hate this image. Insomniac should’ve changed it to something that’s relevant to each R&C game and not just recycle it in every HD remake. #38 Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal 1-11-2012 My favorite R&C game, Nefarious is among the best and funniest villains ever. #39 Deus Ex: Human Revolution 11-11-2012 Amazing game with an awesome soundtrack and an intriguing story involving conspiracies and the Illuminati. As the game progresses I constantly found myself wondering who I should believe, because everyone seems to have their own agenda. There was also one soundtrack (Icarus) that was amazing. I definitely recommend this game and can nowadays be purchased for €10. #40 Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One 25-11-2012 If you like the R&C series and always wanted to play it with more people, than this is a game you’ll enjoy. If not, well thankfully there are other games. #41 Darksiders 2 12-12-2012 Darksiders 1 had the right combination of dungeons, bosses and exploration. Darksiders 2, on the other hand, is basically dungeon after dungeon after dungeon after dungeon and a boss. This repeats on all 4 worlds. The end boss of the game was a big anticlimax and the fight was over in 1-2 minutes. The giant Construct Guardian of world 1 would’ve served as a better final boss. Riding on your trusty horse and fighting a (give or take) 60 meter corrupt construct. #42 Resident Evil 5 24-12-2012 One of the nicest platinum images. The final level really got the adrenaline pumping because of the soundtrack (Majini IX In Flames) and the army of enemies standing in your way. “Per ardua ad astra” can roughly be translated to “through hard work to the stars”. #43 Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault 16-2-2013 A mediocre R&C game with hardly any story. At least the platinum image is different. #44 Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando 16-2-2013 Getting the platinum bolts in the 3 space races took a lot of time and practice. #45 Sleeping Dogs 22-3-2013 I have no idea what this image is supposed to represent, but it’s a entertaining game. #46 Duke Nukem Forever 23-3-2013 Ah, this game reminds me of my fond Duke Nukem memories. Insanity was a real challenge, especially the Octaking boss. #47 The Lord Of The Rings: War In The North 12-4-2013 Surprisingly entertaining, although the ‘Strength of our Alliance’ trophy is extremely glitched. #48 Trine 2 13-4-2013 A great sequel, but you don’t even have to finish the game to get the platinum. Which is a shame. #49 Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning 27-4-2013 A great game, but some areas become boring and repetitive due to almost no change in scenery. Being able to change your class is nice. That way fights don’t become boring. #50 Mass Effect 5-5-2013 The game were it all started. It was a bit weird to play ME1 after ME2 and 3 (thus knowing everything of the Reapers), nonetheless it’s a great game and a really nice platinum. Just like the other 2 Mass Effect games, this one also has some incredible soundtracks: 'Spectre Induction' and 'From The Wreckage'. 51 - 75 #51 Bulletstorm 3-6-2013 You want a game filled with humor, cheesy lines, colorful environment, crazy weapons, strange enemies and 131 ways to kill enemies (seriously, there are 131 skillshots that requires killing enemies)? Look no further! This is one of those games that you play after a long and rough day to relax and take your mind of things. #52 Assassin’s Creed III 14-6-2013 A mediocre game, assassins tend to be effective when they work stealthy. However, that isn’t the case in AC3. Ubi also seems to be under the impression that bigger is always better, the downside: they have to fill a bigger area with dull and boring quests. Most of which have nothing to do with a life of an assassin. #53 Okami HD 27-6-2013 This is such a wonderful game that reminds me of games like Spyro the dragon, Croc, Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts where you embark on a grand quest to turn the tide against the dark forces. It’s a shame developers don’t make these kind of games anymore. #54 Crysis 2-7-2013 A decent game, nothing too difficult (even at the highest difficulty). #55 Hitman Absolution 8-7-2013 The challenge of this game is to find alternate ways to kill targets. There are some very original ways to complete the missions. #56 Saints Row The Third 13-7-2013 A very entertaining game with humor and ridiculously overpowered weapons. It's nice to give the protagonist a personal touch by customizing the appearance. I created a female protagonist who looked very stunning in her deep blue cat suit while driving the Attrazione, flying the black F69-VTOL or wielding dual SMG. I also liked the different choices during certain missions that affect the outcome. Each choice yields a different reward, which greatly adds to the replay value. Some challenges were a grind and there are a lot of collectibles (thankfully there is an ingame map with locations). After a while a few side missions became boring and very repetitive (mainly the vehicle thefts) due to the lack of variety. #57 Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen 21-7-2013 This is one of the nicest looking plat images imo and it really makes me feel like I've accomplished something. The game is very entertaining with an epic dragon boss fight. Compared to Grigori The Dragon, Alduin (from Skyrim) and The Archdemon (from Dragon Age Origins) seem like newly hatched dragon babies. The battle against Grigori for the future of mankind is so epic, it has 3 fitting soundtracks that sets the tone ('Dragon Battle', 'Fire and Perdition' and 'Imminent Triumph'). There are a lot of enemies, which require different strategies to kill (such as climbing them and cutting certain parts of or setting the wings on fire to prevent it from flying away). The ending cut scene raised more questions than answers. The Dark Souls Arisen expansion adds a lot of new enemies, equipment and materials. After defeating the end boss (Daimon), you have to complete it again to get the true ending. The catch: it’s at least 3 times more difficult, new enemies spawn and Daimon has a second form. Oh yeah, and Death now appears in new locations (even after defeating it, it can still appear in a different area because you can’t truly kill it). This all sounds tedious and hard, but it’s actually a lot of fun. #58 Hitman 2: Silent Assassin 26-7-2013 The professional difficulty was a real challenge. There are more enemies, they react faster and disguises are easier discovered. The story is very vague and only explained right before the final mission. There are also a lot of glitches, mainly in the final mission. Enemies can see through walls and have a hearing that would even make superman jealous. If you're caught wearing certain disguises, guards will keep following you to check your ID until you're disguise is blown (instead of stopping after 1 check). After that every guard on the map will swarm you (which is completely useless on Professional, because 3-4 hits will kill you). Also, if they find someone you killed without any witnesses, they'll automatically know that it was a bald guy and start looking for you. #59 Hitman Contracts 29-7-2013 Entertaining game, story is confusing because of the flashbacks and the present day missions are all mixed up. It's great to see another game that partially plays in The Netherlands (mission 5 & 6), the other game being Sly 3 with the aviator tournament. Of course there were the usual glitches: enemies seeing through walls, enemies hearing you while sneaking, enemies being stuck in a wall or the floor. There was also a target whom I drowned (got the trophy as proof) only for him to come back to life, run away and alert every guard in the hotel . #60 Hitman Blood Money 7-8-2013 Blood Money is the best Hitman game. The notoriety and evidence system are a great innovation, customizing weapons was nice and restoring health really came in handy during professional mode. Every level has a different setting and there aren't so much glitches, unlike Silent Assassin and Contracts. My favorite level was 'Dancing with the devil' because of the Heaven and Hell setting. #61 God of War: Chains of Olympus 9-8-2013 A very easy (and way too short) God of War game. The only tricky parts were the final boss fight and the challenge of Hades #3. #62 God of War: Ghost of Sparta 10-8-2013 Even shorter and easier than Chains of Olympus. The fights against Erinys and Thanatos were memorable, at least. #63 Dishonored 18-8-2013 A very entertaining game. You can either kill everyone using a sword, gun and grenades or use a stealthier approach and use sleep darts and choke enemies unconscious. Your game play affects the number of enemies, reactions of allies and the ending. If you kill everyone (high chaos rating), the corpses attract more rats who carry the plague. This in turn will infect a lot more people and turn them into Weepers (infected zombie-like beings). As a result guards will be more vigilant and will patrol in greater numbers. Your allies will also see you as a mass murderer. If you play it stealthy and killing only key targets or no one at all (low chaos rating), the opposite happens. The powers are original and are very fun to experiment with. #64 Demon’s Souls 23-8-2013 OMG, this game is amazing and merciless when you screw up (which did happen from time to time). Here are my experiences with the first level: I managed to beat the Vanguard boss in the tutorial (who was trying to make a pancake of me by executing butt-slamming attacks and was wielding an axe that was bigger than my character) only to die 8 times when trying to kill a red-eyed knight . After which I found out that the path to the knight was a dead end . A while later I got burned to a crisp by a dragon when crossing a bridge (which is an instant kill). Turns out I had to distract the dragon first . Another while later (with no deaths in the meantime ) I thought to sneak up on some crossbow men, only to get squashed to death by 4 giant boulders (as if 1 wasn't enough ). When I finally managed to get the the Phalanx boss, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a giant black Muk (you know, pokemon ) covered with black Grimers who had shields instead of faces and each Grimer was wielding a way too large spear . Anyway, each world had a different theme and there were all kinds of traps, weapons, armor and souls hidden in each world. #65 Prince of Persia: Sands of Time 25-8-2013 This series brings back memories from the good old days. Nothing extremely hard. but fighting enemies gets boring after a while due to the lack of variety. #66 Prince of Persia: Warrior Within 31-8-2013 It's a decent game, but the heavy metal music was terrible. I also love how the first half of the game is a seemingly endless loop. The Dahaka has an original design and the Empress of Time was nice to look at. #67 Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones 4-9-2013 The best PoP game and a great conclusion to the story imo; it has an amazing story, Arabic music (instead of that horrible heavy metal in PoP Warrior Within) and Farah returns. Stealth kills and the Dark Prince are nice additions and are a welcome change in gameplay. #68 Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PS3) 13-9-2013 One of the best games of 2013 that's been on my backlog for far too long. The story picks up where Sly 3 ended. The story is hilarious and interesting, but you don't have to play the original trilogy to understand it (nonetheless it's recommended). Each ancestor plays a little different, so they don't feel like Sly with different clothes. Each costume has a different ability and they are needed to collect every treasure. The only thing I disliked was the hack mini-game with the move function. There should've been an option to turn it off. All in all, Sanzaru did a great job with this game and I'm looking forward to Sly 5. #69 Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy 13-9-2013 This game brings back memories. After all these years it's still a great game, only the camera still doesn't work properly at times. #70 Jak II 13-9-2013 Same camera issues as with Jak and Daxter, but still an awesome game. #71 Jak 3 15-9-2013 The best Jak game of the series, imo. After all those years it's still funny to discover what the precursors really are and how everyone reacts. #72 Ratchet: Deadlocked 5-10-2013 I got this game for free, because I purchased R&C Full Frontal Assault. It's a decent game, but if focuses solely on shooting (there are hardly any funny moments or platforming). The Harbinger is the most bad@$$ weapon, though. Some skill points didn't unlock when I met the requirements, so I had to try them numerous times. #73 God of War: Ascension 12-10-2013 Throughout the entire game I felt like the developers ran out of inspiration (elephant and scarab enemies in Greek mythology, really? ) . The story is very confusing in the beginning and I didn't understand what Kratos was trying to do until the final cut scene. I thought he was trying to avenge the death of his family (like in all the other 5 games), but no. Apparently he lost (a part of) his memory. There are a few positive things, like the epic fights against Hecatonchires' infected head and Alecto. Repairing Apollo's statue was a nice change, considering Kratos usually destroys things (Atlantis and Olympus comes to mind). Although, I preferred the giant statue of the woman that was shown during Archimedes' Trials . #74 Far Cry 3 27-10-2013 A great game with a crazy antagonist. A lot of people praised Vaas’ insanity speech, so naturally I was really looking forward to this. However when I finally heard it, I was a little disappointed. Probably because I expected too much. Nevertheless, Vaas is one of the best antagonists ever and his voice actor did an outstanding job. Hunting animals was a nice change and a lot better than Assassin’s Creed III (which was surprising, considering both games are from Ubisoft). Liberating outposts became boring after a while, so I tried to kill everyone undetected. That added some new elements, like planning and recon (not to mention a lot more xp) . It was a bit annoying to plan the whole thing, only for a predator to walk in the camp, alert everyone and be spotted . In times like these, I threw tactics out the window and relied on superior firepower (meaning I used the RPG to blast everyone into next century ). I didn’t need to grind for xp though, I got all the skills just before the final ceremony. I did activate radio towers, liberate outposts and collected relics, letters and memory cards the moment I entered a new region and still had some left post game. The co-op part is also enjoyable, but pretty much the same as singleplayer, albeit without the hunting and crafting part. There was this weird glitch in mission 4 where I fell through the ground into the sea and I could see the other players above me. #75 Vanquish 4-11-2013 After a lot of pressure from the PSNProfiles community and a bet, I decided to try to get this plat again. And finally after months of trying, giving up and trying again I've managed to beat the dreaded Tactical Challenge #6 with a completion time of 20:50:54 and got my third ultra rare plat. The time isn't that spectacular, but who cares (I certainly don't ). The game itself isn't that difficult at all, even on hard mode. Collecting all 112 Pangloss statues can be tedious, but nothing a guide won't fix . Even challenge 1-3 and 5 range from easy to doable. Challenge 4 is surprisingly hard and 6 is (imo) where it gets nearly impossible. I failed a lot while trying to complete #6 (I stopped counting after 100 times, which was months ago ) and practised challenge 6 until i could do wave 1-4 with only 1 EMP grenade. When I started wave 5, I had 5 EMP's, 3 cigarettes, 1 upgrade, 2 lock-on-lasers, 1 rocket launcher and a few heavy machine guns left for the bogeys. I couldn't find the rocket launcher dropped by the blue bogey, because I killed it with the LO-laser and didn't pay attention to where it went . I had to focus on the red bogey, because it went berserk. But it did get easier when there was still 1 bogey left. I could focus all my attention on it instead of multitasking (which I'm told guys are very bad at ). 76 - 100 #76 Kingdom Hearts Final Mix 21-11-2013 This game is the reason I bought the PS2 months earlier then I intended (it has one of the best intro songs ever). So naturally I got the HD Remix Limited Edition. Before you judge me, let me tell you this isn't a game just for little children. Sure there are a lot of Disney characters, but the story is actually quite mature and complex (I doubt a 10 year old would fully understand it). Final Mix isn't just a HD remake from the PS2 version, Square Enix had to recreated the game (they apparently lost some data files). Final Mix has the original KH and a lot of extras. These extras include new: heartless, gummi missions, blueprints, materials, cut scenes, weapons, equipment and a secret boss. Most of the new heartless can't be beaten conventionally by pounding away and the secret boss is no pushover either. I found it to be slightly easier than Sephiroth, but only just a little. Some lvl 3 gummi missions are difficult and requires some practise, but it's doable. The synthesizing part has become a drag, because of the new materials that are needed. I got to lvl 100 and I still needed to farm a lot before I had everything. Just like Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, you can unlock PS3 themes if you get certain trophies. I wish every game would have this feature. #77 Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus 23-11-2013 Let me start with this: yes Insomniac finally changed the platinum image . Alright moving on: Into The Nexus concludes the R&C Future series (Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty and A Crack In Time). It's shorter than A Crack in Time, but nontheless it's a great game. It has the usual humor, platforming, crazy weapons and shooting. Other than that there are once again arena matches, gold botls and skill points that unlock cheats. Qwark, The Plumber, Aphelion, Talwyn, Cronk, Zephyr, Thugs-4-Less and the Smuggler all return (and with him the tasks of collecting stuff from gigantic creatures and his habit for having the equipment that's needed to continue ) and the Dimensionator also makes an appearance. The prologue also contains an unexpected twist and after the way too long credits, there's a funny cutscene. Nexus also introduces gravity-based platforming (mostly for the Clank segments). My favorite weapon is the Nightmare Box. It's a jack-in-the-box that unleashes a monster that scares enemies and makes them scream like little 6 year old girls (even the bosses). The RYNO VII has a awesome design and has officially replaced the RYNO 4-ever as my favorite RYNO. A R&C wouldn't be the same without a morph weapon. In Nexus you have the Winterizer: this gun morphs enemies into snowmen. Upgrading this weapon causes the snowmen to drop presents, that can give you either bolts, ammo or nano. On the final planet you visit a museum and you have the opportunity to find out was has happend to all the antagonists of every R&C game. One thing I disliked was the color palette of all the Omega Weapons, these were all gold (because of the gold bolts) like in R&C 1. #78 Borderlands 7-12-2013 The game is quite interesting at first, but it becomes boring and repetitive later due to the lack of variaty in environment and enemies. Some bosses have a funny introduction. There are more then enough weapons, but most of them are useless and don't do a lot of damage. The main characters have great skills, but aren't so memorable. The Zombie Island of Dr Ned dlc introduces some new zombie enemies and has a drastic change in environment, and is my favorite part of the game. The Mad Moxxi Underdome is just a gigantic grind of a grand total of 375 waves of killing enemies (3 100-wave and 3 25-wave challenges). If you die you have to start all over again. I don't know what the developers were thinking when they created this dlc. They must've been really high/stoned/drunk/whatever. It took me about 15-20 hours to finish all waves. The Knoxx dlc has a short story and you'll spend most of your time during that story driving on giant, empty, seemingly endless highroads while avoiding/destroying enemy vehicles once in a while. The Claptrap dlc also has a short story and a lot of different collectibles, which are random drops and the game doesn't keep track of it. It took me about 7 hours to collect them. #79 Remember Me 26-12-2013 The game has a interesting story: it takes place in the future where technology has made it possible for memories to be removed, deleted, altered, stored and even bought or sold. The M3morize Company (who created the technology and just happens to control law enforcement) promotes the advantages while not mentioning the disadvantages. You play as Nillin, a member or the Errorsist Movement: a resistance group fighting M3morize. At the start of the game Nillin's memories are removed. That forces you to rely on strangers who say they know you and you just have to take their word for it. At first the game portrays things as black and white, while later things become very grey. Some characters aren't as good/bad as you thought, while others are just evil. That's what I liked about this game: some characters do bad things, but once you see their side of the story you realize why they did certain things (cryptic I know, because it's a major spoiler). A very nice addition are the memory remix segments in which you have to alter some memories. You can fast forward, rewind and even pauze the memories and alter little details. These changes trigger a domino effect and eventually with the right combination the memories are altered. The combat system takes a while to get used to. You can change combo's by altering the type of attacks. Besides that you'll unlock special attacks during the story. These special attacks are very powerfull and requires focus (special energy) to perform and they have a cooldown period. The game is quite doable on hard difficulty, some fights may take a few tries. One major thing I disliked was the fact you lose all your focus when you die. Making retries after that even harder, because you have to refill the focus gauge by either dealing or receiving damage. #80 Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations 30-12-2013 As a true Naruto fan I read the manga and I watch the anime. I also completed Naruto UN Storm 1 & 2. But I have to say this game sucks big time, it's one big grind from start to finish . The story mode is literally copied from Storm 1 & 2, with a few new things like the story of Zabuza and young Kakashi. Besides that there are some non-cannon fights and stories. After the very short stories, you can do some tournaments and survival. The tournaments are somewhat entertaining at first, because it's a new feature for the Naruto Storm series. Survival is basically fight X amount of characters with 1 life, if you die you have to start all over again . After a grand total of 250 survival matches , you've earned every survival related trophy. After that you need to buy 80% of all images, titles, cards, videos and ninja tools . Only the titles and cards are very annoying to get, because these unlock by doing special things. I also tried the online fights and It was surprisingly fun: CyberConnect2 really listened to the complains from Storm 2. You can no longer see which character your opponent selects, wins and losses aren't shown on your card and you can't spam the substitution jutsu (where you teleport behind an opponent when he attacks). It's also possible to download and upload replay's from your fights. I uploaded one fight in which I was nearly defeated, but still managed to win with 4% health remaining . #81 Borderlands 2 7-2-2014 After playing Borderlands 1 I wasn't very excited to play BL2. However it turned out to be quite entertaining. That's because BL2 has a mini map, a real story with an antagonist, different scenery, a lot of enemies, almost no glitches and hardly any recycled side quests. I also played a lot in co-op mode (thanks for that MrCostari ). The Scarlett dlc adds some new areas, pirate enemies and 2 new raid bosses. The second raid boss (Master Gee the Invincible) is a very cheap fight in which you first have to remove his shield by killing acid-spitting sand worms and have Gee walk over the acid pool they leave behind. If Gee doesn't absorbs the acid, it'll fill the entire room and eventually kill you. You can't damage Gee until his shield is gone, so it becomes very boring . In the Torgue dlc you revisit BL1: it has numerous glitches, recycled side quests, boring characters, hardly any story and recycled enemies. This piece of crap should never have been created . The Hammerlock dlc has a drastic change in scenery (Pandora's version of the Amazon) and only 4 story missions. It also has an overpowered enemy (Witch Doctor) who has way too much health, can heal himself and others and can level up every enemy and himself . I mostly ran past them. The Tina dlc is imo the best dlc: it combines dungeons and dragons with guns and grenades. You fight dragons, dwarves, orcs and other fantasy creatures and the story takes place in a fantasy land. #82 Sly Cooper Thieves in Time (PSVITA) 7-4-2014 My first Vita plat. This game is even better the second time. Getting the Sparrow Approves trophy was much easier on the vita. I could tap the rear touch pad while playing the game instead of mashing on the PS3 controller. Because I already platted the game on the PS3, I knew where most of the collectibles were. That reduced the amount of backtracking. The hacking minigames were a little difficult because I still have to get used to the smaller screen. #83 Uncharted: Golden Abyss 14-4-2014 This game takes place before Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. As usual there's an interesting mystery you have to unravel. But it didn't feel like a real Uncharted until Sully got some screen time (it still wasn't the same without Elena though). The developers could've easily replaced Marisa Chase with Chloe Frazer. Most of the weapons are the same and the trophy images are re-used from Uncharted 2. There are also way too many collectibles (I believe 379 in total) and 141 of them are random drops from enemies. Taking pictures and making charcoal rubbings was a nice change at first, but quickly became boring. Crushing difficulty was way more easier than I expected, at some parts it even felt the same like Hard difficulty. I like to think that's because I've honed my skills over the past years, but that's probably wishfull thinking seeing as a lot of people agree that Crushing is far more easier in this game. The bossfights in this game are a series of touchscreen QTE's and they don't always register properly. On Crushing you can't fail a single QTE or else you have to restart the entire fight, so that gave me some trouble. It's too bad you don't get any ingame rewards for beating the game at a certain difficulty. I kinda missed the Doughnut Drake skin. #84 Gravity Rush 21-4-2014 This game takes the open world experience to a whole new level. You play as Kat: a girl who has lost her memories and can manipulate gravity to walk on walls and ceilings or float through the air, which is a nice concept. The cities are also made up of layers so you can go underneath it to look for gems. The combat was a bit repetitive, an upgraded Gravity Kick and Evade is more than enough to deal with most enemies. The challenges were difficult at first, but once I upgraded all the abilities they became much easier. The dlc are basically cut content from the main game: for example in the third dlc the players are introduced to Yunica, while at the end of the main game Kat greets Yunica by her name while this isn't mentioned before. Each dlc also contains 2 new challenges that are much harder than the ones from the main game. The Inferno race was by far the most difficult one. I did like how the dlc trophies formed a picture when they're all unlocked. Nonetheless it's a great game and I really advise you to try it. #85 The Walking Dead Season 1 22-4-2014 First of all: yes I know this isn't the real platinum image, but the official image is just the image and this would fit just fine. I heard a lot of praise about this game, so I got this game from Sony's Easter Sale. And it turned out to be fantastic. The game presents you with morally difficult choices (for example chop off a leg with an axe to save someone or leave him behind) and I would often think about which one was the lesser evil choice. All choices have an impact on how the story continues and how people treat you. A few requires you to make a split second decision to save one person while the other one dies. In a post-apoclyptic world, I had to think about who was just a burden on scarce resources and who was usefull. There was one fat guy with a weak heart and a big temper who was basically sitting at the compound, telling everyone how they screw things up, eating while complaining and being a jerk. I got rid of him the first chance I got. Of course his daughter became very hostile towards me after that and I had to solve that situation. Sometimes I would go for a selfish choice (leaving a random woman who was already bitten running and screaming to attract the zombies to give me more time to collect food and medicines), because I thought no one would find out. However I soon learned that somehow someone would find out and would bring it up during a conversation or an argument. You have to justify most decisions to Clementine (an 8 year old girl who the protagonist looks after). There was also the issue of trusting people, because not everyone has good intentions. At the end of each episode the game shows how many percent of the players made which decision, which is nice to see. The 400 Days dlc is really disappointing, because it tells very, very short stories about 5 new persons and you have to figure out bits and pieces for yourself. However TellTale Games did an amazing job with the main game and I will definitely play season 2. I really recommend this game, because it's a story-based game with gory action, morally complex situations and the impact your choices have on how events unfold. #86 Sacred 2: Fallen Angel 11-6-2014 So after 4 years I finally managed to get the platinum trophy. The only reason I kept playing this game at first was because I wanted an overall 100% completion percentage on my profile back then. After I gave up on that I only needed three more trophies so I thought I might as well get those too. I didn't like the game, because it's a failed MMORPG port to the consoles with very repetitive gameplay and filled with extremely large, empty areas with the same 5-6 per area (simply put it's a worse version of Borderlands). The reason I bought the game was because the trailer looked really cool and back then I was naive enough to believe a CGI trailer for actual gameplay. To get the platinum you have to play as all 6 classes, find a lot of hidden and random drop crap and play through the game 4 times with the same character to unlock the highest difficulty and 2 times for both the dark and light ending. The reason I went for this platinum again was because another games gave me a complete armor set and helped me get to the highest difficulty. So I'd like to thank SobirisArunbirok for all the help, because without you I most likely never would've gotten this trophy . Now I can finally donate this game to the shooting range so people can use it for target practise. #87 XCOM: Enemy Unknown 22-6-2014 In the year 2015 aliens have started a full scale invasion and are attacking mankind. In response 16 countries have joined forces and created the XCOM project, which stands for eXtraterrestrials COMbat. You are the commander of the base and you direct the missions and decide what should be researched, build and upgraded. You also choose which countries to help and panic will rise or decrease in countries that you didn't help or helped. If 8 or more countries leave the XCOM project, because their panic got too high it's game over. During the campaign you encounter and kill aliens and research the recovered materials and artifacts. Gradually you can develop better weapons, armor, facilities, upgrades and vehicles to combat the aliens. As the invasion continues, the aliens are bringing in more, better and stronger enemies. So even if you don't continue the story, you will still encounter these upgraded aliens. The game is quite interesting to play. You can use the environment to your advantage (i.e. shooting from an elevated position, or blowing up a car where an alien is hiding for extra damage). Soldiers gain xp by killing aliens and can earn promotions, when this happens they gain a permanent boost to their will, aim and health and learn a new skill. There are 4 types of soldiers: snipers, assaults, heavies and support. Snipers deal severe damage, assaults are basically scouts, heavies carry a rocket launcher and supports are medics. Midway through the story you also gain the ability to turn soldiers into psionics. When that happens these soldiers can deal psychic damage or even mind control aliens. To complete missions with no casualties, you need to use strategies and tactics. It took me 3 playthroughs to refine my strategy. #88 Epic Mickey 2: The Power of 2 4-7-2014 A fun and easy platformer, though completing every quest and collecting all 176 pins sure was tedious. The controls are a little wonky at times, but I enjoyed the game. You also have to defeat bosses in different ways if you're good of evil, which is a great feature. It's nice to see some Disney characters that didn't quite make it. It was also amusing to play through some classic cartoons like Night On Bald Mountain. #89 Dark Souls 7-7-2014 After playing the amazing Demon's Souls I just had to get this one. The story is very vague, but the fights are very entertaining. Invaders also add an element of suprise and dealing with other players is fun because I got to test my strategy and playstyle against an unknown enemy who doesn't suffer from A.I. restrictions and can't be exploited that easily. The covenants and humanity are nice additions and the game is an open world. A lot of people told me the Four Kings boss fight is the hardest fight in the entire game, but I managed to defeat it on my first try in NG and NG+ . For me the hardest boss was Manus from the Artorias of the Abyss dlc. The dlc bosses are more aggressive and difficult to stagger, therefore I found them harder than the main game's bosses. My favorite boss fight is against Ornstein & Smough, because it's 2 against 1 and that fight has an awesome . My favorite armor sets are the Artorias and Ornstein armors, though the Lord Blade Ciaran's set looks pretty neat too. The 'Link to the Fire' ending was a big anti-climax to such an epic journey. I prefer the badass 'Dark Lord' ending. I really recommend this game to everyone. Don't let the difficulty stop you, because the game has a reasonable learning curve. Other than that you just have to observe and learn enemy attack patterns and the movements or sounds they make before an attack and once you get the hang of the controls, the game becomes easy. I'm definitely going to get Dark Souls II #90 Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag 12-7-2014 This game is awesome and has replaced Assassin's Creed II as my favorite AC game. You can attack ships and either incapacitate and board them or send the ship and the crew to Davy Jones' Locker and receive only half of the loot. It feels really epic when you have naval battle against a fleet during a storm with lightning flashes in the background, while trying to avoid being sucked into waterspouts and facing rogue waves and dealing with barrages of cannon fire, fire barrel mines and mortars (and also trying to listen to the amazing ). Another epic thing is storming a fortress while it's being bombarded with cannon fire and you run through the battlefield trying to kill the commanders with the occasional explosions around you. It was also a lot of fun to watch the Britsh and Spanish ships weaken each other and then swoop in and board them. I managed to capture 3 Men o' War, 1 Frigate, 1 Brig and 2 Schooners in one battle. Your own ship (the Jackdaw) can also be upgraded to take on bigger ships and eventually the legendary ships. My personal difficulty rating from easiest to hardest battle is La Dama Negra, the twin ships HMS Fearless and HMS Royal Sovereign, the ghost ship HMS Prince (I barely survived it) and El Impoluto. El Impoluto took me 6 tries, while I managed to destroy the other 3 on the first try. Each ship also has a different strategy and I generally took down ships by circling around them while firing the mortar, broadside cannons and the swivelgun. That's probably why I found La Dama Negra the easiest of the 4. Also on a side note, I liked Julien du Casse's hat. I really wanted it for Edward as a customization item. Ubisoft really made a wonderfull pirate experience which include a treasure beyond your wildest dreams, betrayels, a prison break, payback and the everlasting war between the Templars and Assassins. The mp was a boring grind as always, but this time I was lucky and did it during a double xp weekend. Getting from lvl 1 to 55 took around 11 hours and after that I ran around with the copycat perk waiting to be killed to get every ability and ranged weapon. #91 Saints Row IV 24-7-2014 After Saints Row The Third I was really looking forward to this game, However this game is disappointing. The main story is very short, the character graphics seem worse than SR3, the game freezes every 2 hours, there are about 1300 collectibles, it also has annoying glitch and lag effects that happen once every 5-10 seconds and my eyes hurt from the way too bright lasers making it hard to spot the enemies. I also finished the game and the dlc in about 28 hours, so I had to wait another 12 hours to get the pointless fourth and forty (SR5 better not have a fifth and fifty trophy). I'm really hoping all this is because THQ was bankrupt and they needed to earn money fast. Sure you have superpowers, but those get boring and repetitive fast. I did like all the Mass Effect references and the final mission reminded me a lot of the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2. Even Captain Anderson was in the game. The 'Enter The Dominatrix' dlc shows some of the plans for the canceled SR3 dlc and is an interview with the characters during which you play a few missions while listening to their comments. And after the "What the hell is this crap" ending (that makes no sense at all) I got my beloved VTOL jet back . The 'How The Saints Saved Christmas' dlc is very amusing, but also very short. In this dlc you have to save Christmas and the future by defeating Clawz (an evil Santa Claus). #92 The Wolf Among Us 28-7-2014 After waiting for months I finally played this game. And TellTale made another masterpiece. The game is set in the 1980's where fairy tale creatures live in the human world and disguise themselves to look like humans. You play as Bigby Wolf, who is the big bad wolf from Red Ridinghood and the Three Little Pigs. You're the sheriff and it's your job to ensure the other fairy tale creatures follow the rules and don't reveal their existance to humanity. I didn't know anything about the Fables series, so everything was new for me. It was somewhere between episode 3 and 4 that I understood the problems of the fairy tale society and after that I tried to solve them. The game has an awesome story and a lot of great WTF moments and plot twists. And now I want to know what will happen next, because the episode 5 ending is a big cliffhanger. I also liked the parts where you investigate a crime scene and try to solve and connect the events. I won't go into details, because it will spoil something so please bear with me. I absolutely recommend this game to everyone who likes a game with a awesome and well written story, where your choices determine how events unfold. #93 Tomb Raider Anniversary 17-8-2014 I've never played a Tomb Raider game before, so I bought the TR HD collection after playing Uncharted. I was expecting something similar and was heavily disappointed at first. When I gave it another try, I really liked it. The emphasis lies on exploration and solving puzzles and not on shooting, which was a nice change from usual games. The locations are interesting, hard mode is very doable and there aren't that much collectibles. But some of the time trials are very unforgiving (looking at you St. Francis' Folly and Sanctuary of the Scion). I ran out of time during the final swing before the end of the level in Sanctuary of the Scion, so I had to replay 20 minutes. Most of the time I died, because the controls don't respond. The graphics are a little disappointing, but it's understandable because it's a remake from the PS2 game, which in turn is a remake from the PS1 version. You even unlock the PS1 version skin and after seeing that one, the graphics suddenly looked very good. #94 Tomb Raider Legend 17-8-2014 This game has a lot more shooting parts than TR Anniversary. I'd say it's about 65% shooting. The story is very interesting, because you also get to explore Lara's past. The final boss was very difficult on hard mode. The locations are very diverse, there are more collectibles, the time trials are easier and Lara looks better then in TR Anniversary (especially in the ripped evening dress skin , though I preferred the Biker outfit). #95 Tomb Raider Underworld 17-8-2014 This game is set one week after the TR Legend ending and also deals with some things from TR Anniversary. The story didn't make much sense until I read all the journal entries. These give a lot of crucial background information. The graphics are far better than TR Legend and it's about 65% exploring. In this game you can dive to ruins and explore them for treasures, which is a nice change. Imo there are too many collectibles, but after you complete the game you can play Treasure Hunter Mode. In this mode there are no enemies and the puzzles have been solved so you can focus on collecting everything. TR Underworld has no time trials (thankfully) and Lara looks even better than in TR Legend. It's really a shame the developers didn't show her entire face on the platinum trophy image. #96 Puppeteer 17-8-2014 This game has a very unique approach: it's a 2d side scrolling puppet play and you're controlling the main character in this fairy tale. Long ago 3 years ago in a kingdom far, far away (on the moon) the Moon Goddess ruled just and kept the balance between light and dark with the Moon Crystal. But then a moon bear stole Calibrus, which is the strongest weapon ever created and also functions as a pair of scissors. He claimed the Dark Moon crystal for himself and shattered the Light Moon Crystal and gave a piece to each of his 12 generals. After that he named himself the Moon Bear King and started stealing souls from the children of Earth. The game is divided into 7 acts and each act has 3 curtains (levels). Each act also has a different theme and setting. My favorite one was the 'Nightmare before Christmas' Halloween setting. There are far too many collectibles (700+ in total) and the game keeps track of most of them. Luckily there's an excellent collectible guide here on PSNProfiles.com. #97 Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 17-8-2014 This game is the best one in the Storm series so far. As always the fights between Naruto and Sasuke are epic. CyberConnect2 really puts a lot of effort into these fights and the Naruto vs Sasuke boss fight is even better then the anime (which is extremely rare for a game) with a fitting . During boss fights you can choose 2 paths: Hero or Legend. Legend is somewhat more difficult, but after upgrading the Hero level you can use better items. Also during boss fights there are secret actions that trigger exact re-enactments from the manga/anime. Since I'm a huge Naruto fan, I had no problem triggering these actions. Some major fights in the manga/anime are just regular battles in the game, instead of epic boss battles (which is really disappointing). The Full Burst dlc expands the story and adds another epic boss fight (and 100 challenge missions) This boss battle is by far the hardest one to achieve a S-rank rating. Completing this battle and the 100 challenges also unlocks 12 themes for the XMB menu. #98 Assassin's Creed Liberation HD 19-8-2014 In AC Liberation you play as the female assassin Aveline de Grandpré. She has a few new weapons like the whip, a blowpipe and a parasol that shoots darts. Also new is the ability to change into different outfits (Assassin, Lady and Slave). Each outfit has its perks and disadvantages. Getting 100% sync on every story mission is also very easy and there is no multiplayer . The story is quite vague and the pop up messages during the loading screen gives some background information that explains the events that happened between each sequence. There's no fast travel, which is especially annoying with the slow Lady outfit. The game is very short for an Assassin's Creed game and there are a lot of collectibles. 3 kinds of collectibles can only be collected if you wear the correct outfit. #99 The Walking Dead Season 1 PS3 20-8-2014 I played this game again, because it's a great game and I was in a trophy hunting competition. For an extensive description please read #85. #100 Persona 4 Golden 21-8-2014 The game opens with a student transferring to a school in the village of Inaba for a year and during the trip you have a strange dream in which a man tells you this year marks a great change in your destiny and you'll be facing a problem. Failing to solve this in time will have catastrophic consequences. During your time in Inaba people disappear and end up murdered. You discover something and set out to investigate. I know this is crypic, but I don't want to spoil anything. You can choose what to do after school and during the weekends and should you fail to solve the mysteries in time to continue the story, it's game over. I wasn't planning on making this game #100 at first. However, once I started playing I became addicted to it. The story is mindblowing, the main characters are well-written, there are a lot of choices you can make which greatly adds to the replay value. It's impossible to experience everything in 1 playthrough and there's also content that's only available in NG+ (provided you got the true ending). Some things carry over to NG+, but your level is also reset. But that doesn't matter, because you can still use high leveled personas you fused during NG. One soundtrack I really like is the alternate version of . The only thing I didn't like was to get 250 different lines from Rise. Because it's not clear which lines count and I had to grind lines by getting status ailments on every party member and getting defeated on purpose. Other than that, this is one of the best games I've ever played in my life and by far the best VITA game (and actually also the reason I got a VITA in the first place).

Nice collection:) Noticed you have the Dragons Dogma plat and you are right the trophy image is beautiful and has made me put the game higher up on my to do list ;D Thnx, it's a great game and I really recommend it .

MoreTheVictim Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Nice list Dutchy! I'm currently still reading but I've already a question: Your 2nd platinum, you mention all it's dlc and awakening expansion. What makes the one an expansion and the other DLC? What's the difference? I really hope to get started on Dragon's Dogma soon but I just ordered some games and more are sure to follow today! Keep up the great work. Btw, I read it all.

I really hope to get started on Dragon's Dogma soon but I just ordered some games and more are sure to follow today! Keep up the great work. Btw, I read it all. Thnx fellow Dutchman , you may be the first person to have read everything (besides me of course ). I consider Awakening an expansion, because it raises the level cap and it adds new enemies, skills, potions, runes, a new map with explorable places (that can be revisited at any time), specializations and higher levelled armor & weapons. Also Awakening continuous after the ending from Dragon Age Origins and it takes about 12 hours to complete it. This would either be the best dlc ever or an expansion . The other dlc's last about 1-2 hours and only add one new place. Some dlc even recycle used places, while Awakening only had new places. Dragon's Dogma is a wonderfull game, but it's understandable. I also have quite a backlog. Btw, I'm all out of Likes for today , so you'll get one tomorrow. Side note: thnx for giving me my 350th Like Edited October 19, 2013 by Dragon-Archon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to pick a few more games before 9 o'clock but so far I only got 2 Have you checked it out on Bart Smit & BudgetGaming? 12 hours sounds sweet! That's like triple the the average DLC nowadays I like RPG games but I mostly find them confusing and complicated. I never know what's best to do, what skills to pick first, what perks to invest points in, which areas are too dangerous for my current level, etc. But I really love a beautiful open world game. Sandbox games are my favorite games, I just love them, the freedom of exploring of going where ever you want to and not being restricted by level/campaign design. But not all sandbox games are like that ofcourse. It's school break so I'll definitely read a few trophy guides (I have a whole list of them, just never get to it ) but this may sound weird but I can't just read a trophy guide. I have to be focused on it and being able to concentrate on it. It's really important for me. But I do enjoy it mostly, as long as my brain doesn't get overloaded with information lol. Plus, my PS3 tends to get more attention for some reason... whatever that may be... But I'm looking forward to play with you and learning a lot from you! Btw, I didn't read everything, some games I didn't but those were only a handfull, just because they didn't interest me that much. Was expecting to have a few more questions btw Well actually I do, we should talk about GOW and Greek Mythology some time, I got into it too after playing GOW and I find it very fascinating.

Wow that was a long post haha I haven't checked those, but I will. Maybe I can find some great games. If you like sandbox games, maybe you can check out Deus Ex Human Revolution and Dishonored. Don't know what kind of genres you like, but the Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper games are always funny. And the Mass Effect trilogy (one of my favorite PS3 series) has three outstanding games with almost all the dlc. Some RPG's allow you to change your class, that way you can change whenever you like . I usually have a team with melee (to defend and act as a distraction), magic (mostly to heal, sometimes to do damage) and ranged classes (for those powerfull, but slower attacks). As for the dangerous areas, that's just trial and error . If you can kill normal enemies with 5-10 hits and you've already hit a new one 25+ times without lowering their health , I would come back later after levelling up (quite) a bit. Sandbox games are definitely quite something. It's nice to go where ever you want, but (for me at least) there also has to be missions/quests/assignments/something to do. I'm currently playing Far Cry 3 and I've spent more time exploring than doing the story missions. But I like it, because there's always something to discover at the bottom of the sea or on the land. Yeah finally vacation , you won't believe the amount of homework I get. Teachers these days think we have nothing better to do . Now I can play some games (and maybe do something for the tests ). I also read trophy guides, I want to know if it's a game I'll like, or if there'are any glitched/unobtainable trophies and locations of collectibles. What, you didn't read everything ... oh well. Okay, let me know when you want to talk about GOW and Greek mythology. I'm also looking forward to play and learn from you. 73 platinums - an amazing effort! Thnx , took me a few years to achieve it . This looks very similar to my trophy checklist, we even have a lot of the same platinums. keep up the good work Thnx , I liked this layout very much. As for the in common: that's just a coincidence or great minds think alike . Nice list! Continue the good work Thnx , I plan to keep going.
