hey rc, do you know whats up with trophies? i just unlocked a trophy in "PAIN" and it wont show up in my trophy collection.
Are you checking your profile or the trophy collection thing which is under the game tab IIRC? I think if you check your profile, it won't always be up-to-date, but if you go to the other one, it should try to sync everything up. At least, that's how it seemed to work with me. You may have to check it outside of a game, although I'm pretty sure I used the in-game XMB to update my trophies at least once. The system seems a little buggy and slow still, so it might take some patience. I'm still mad that SSHD won't give me the 15-tokens-in-one-boost trophy. I've gotten 15 tokens several times, but the game won't give me the trophy. All the other trophies are pretty much impossible for me right now, so I kind of want to get that one. How is Pain? I never checked it out when it was released.
well it shows up now in my trophy room in the game, but now in the in game xmb. how do i update it? pain is pretty awesome, pretty fun. its getting a whole new level next week. oh and it has custom soundtracks !
Wait, there's an in-game trophy room in PAIN? Didn't know that. SSHD doesn't have that. What I was referring to are the two places to check out your trophies in the XMB. There is Trophy Collection under Game, or you can just select your profile under Friends. I don't think the latter will update your tropies, but I think if you go to Trophy Collection, it should update. Or at least, like I mentioned earlier, that's how it worked for me. Of course, maybe there are Pain-specific trophies (only viewable when playing Pain), and then there are PSN trophies you can win in Pain, although I doubt that.
hmm i dont know. but yeah, i have a trophy room in pain. I didn't have it before, or maybe i didn't notice it. everything seems fine with 2.4 except COD4 has crashed on me twice since ive downloaded it and that usually never happens.
Apparently Pain doesn't support trophies yet. Just in-game trophies. It will be patched when the Amusement Park level is done.
oh cool. you should consider getting pain, its worth it for the price. and add ons for the game are super cheap. like $0.99
I was interested in the game when I first saw it, but I remember reading mixed impressions about it when it was released. But the negatives seem to be mostly about a lack of content, and from what I understand, that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. There are actually a lot of PSN games I want to check out. I still haven't downloaded the PixelJunk Monsters expansion, and I loved that game.
It sounds like Sony will release firmware 2.41 this week, which should take care of any issues with 2.40...I hope.
I've never understood the hype over pixel junk monsters. i downloaded a demo, and it looks ****ing r****ded lol i have mortal kombat that i downloaded off of PSN. its alright, it actually has online play
They put out a demo? Didn't know that. There wasn't a demo available when I bought it. Some of the things I like about it are hard to convey in a demo though, so maybe that was part of the reason they didn't have one at launch. Of course, the basic gameplay is still there to test out. Are you a fan of Tower Defense games in general? PJM tweaks the formula a bit to keep things fresh, but the basic gameplay is pretty much the same. A lot of people like this genre (myself included obviously), so that's probably why PJM is praised a lot (along with other reasons). If you don't like that style of game, PJM certainly won't change your mind.
yeah, i think its the fact I don't like those kind of games. Hey whats Echochrome? I've also heard of alot of people downloading that game. I like pain because you have custom soundtracks, and theres alot of stuff to discover in the lil city, and plus throwing a dude from a slingshot is pretty fun at times. Hey RC, I'm thinking of getting MGS4, but ive never played a single MGS game... would it work out? I like FPS and 3PS games.
I am addicted to PixelJunk Monsters. The Encore upgrade is great, but very difficult. You start back at zero without running or mines and the monsters still come at you in waves of 20. PJM is probably my favorite game on the PS3 so far. I got 2.4 on my PS3s (40g & 60g) and it worked fine on both. GTA bricked my 60 when it first came out, but once I sent it in for repair and got a new one, everything's good.
I haven't had a chance to check out Echochrome, but it seems like a pretty interesting concept for a puzzle game. I'd try to explain it, but it would probably be better to watch a video or check out the demo (I think there is a demo?). IIRC, it allows for user-created levels too, which is pretty nice. If you don't mind being confused by the storyline (and possibly being bored by all the cutscenes in the game that deal with the storyline), MGS4 probably wouldn't be too bad. I think it does cater more to FPS/shooter fans than I expected, but keep in mind that it is still a stealth game. You can try to play it like a FPS and maybe even get some enjoyment out of it, but you probably should be open to trying other ways to accomplish the same goal. As I've told others, ideally you'd like to make it through the whole game without killing anyone or even being seen by the enemy...and doing that should be fun. It is possible that you might just hate the style of gameplay that MGS is all about, but if you want to try MGS, MGS4 would definitely be the game to go with. I haven't played MGO yet, so maybe it plays a bit different. I've heard good things about it, and I might give it a shot once I'm done with a few other games.
hmm, i think i'll buy a used copy at gamestop, if i dont like it i can return it. COD4 is my fav FPS. I like the run n gun, be quick or die style of play.
just got the new update,they changed the look on the platinum trophy, and in game xmb runs much smoother
