Meh, I don't see this as a huge plus, but good for those who care. Sony, give us the POWUH to send messages to PSN members from the web. If it has to be through the Playstation site, or even the forums, so be it just make it happen.
@rip: I've got around 300 and am almost at level 7. If I could just get 7 damn people to meet me at Wildcat Stadium, I'd have that Platinum and be well over level 7!
@Gort23: Best thing to do for that trophy is find a much of people in a server that have headsets/mics. The only way I could get that trophy was to basically ask the host if we could all meet at the stadium, and he reluctantly gave in.
Burnout Paradise, aside from that one trophy (and maybe the Web Cam one, if I didn't buy Eye of Judgment), is the easiest game to get a platinum on. Well, it's the easiest game to platinum that is actually good. I'd rather not have Alone in the Dark and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection stinking up my game collection.
I'm not an achievement/trophy fan. Devs seem to be using them for the most part to artificially extend the life of a game.... and it games like Far Cry 2, where you're supposed to be immersed in a world, the 'trophy won' pop-in is almost worse than loading at taking me out of the game
@stealthpengu: Was that worse for immersion than being able to repair a car on the verge of exploding by turning a socket wrench on the engine a few times?
@stealthpengu: I used to dislike trophies, but I have a much smaller budget for games since no one seems to be hiring. So now, I'm glad games have trophies. It allows me to get more out of them.
Of course, some trophies are just insane. Almost all of the trophies in PAIN require a huge amount of luck mixed with skill, and they just seem damn impossible.
On the other hand, I've heard you can platinum Sonic's Ultimate Genesis/Mega Drive Collection in 4 hours.
@HikariOblivion: As it is now, call me crazy but I don't really see the need/demand for this.
What's the appeal in looking at your trophies online when you can do that on the PS3 anytime? I guess it's a nice convenience, until they add functions for this.
I know I'm probably the only person who still cares about this, but when the hell are the trophy rooms going to come to Home? It sounded like a real neat feature when they talked about it.
@Mister Jack: I thought the idea was that unlocking trophies in games unlocked content in Home.
So, lets say you get a bronze trophy in Resistance 2, it would unlock a poster in Home which you could put on your wall on your loft. Earn a better trophy and you earn better content, like furniture, clothing, and so forth. Hell, platinum would unlock something like an arcade cabinet for your loft which would actually entice people into visiting your place.
Now, did Sony suggest this idea? Or is this wishful thinking on my part? Something like this could get me back into Home, though. Well, maybe.
damn. i was so hoping this'd fix whatever bug caused my uncharted trophies to crap out, cause now i cant get the last 3..theyre not blacked out, theyre just not there at all anymore. if i do the requirement, i get the in-game medal and not the trophies. shit's horrible when you realize this haflway through crushing mode. @#$%
@cfive3: The 360 can be quite shitty in it's own respect >_> My friend has gotten the Red Ring 4 times this year on 2 different consoles while my PS3 is happily not screwing me over by pissing itself and dying.
Yeah, but the 360 has finally been fixed with the Jasper hardware update. So now there won't be anymore RROD, which means PS3 people will have almost nothing bad to say about 360.
@WarlordPayne: Not completely true I think. Considering 360s have been known to fail for a variety of reasons. It never ceases to amaze me that people find it so hard to believe that there are a good percentage of gamers that just simply don't want a 360.
Or are back on the sheep mentality that says that everyone has to own one and we all need an Iphone and you're not good people if you don't have money?

If Sony has a trophy feed like MS does, then Playfire can apply it now. :)

I didn't see what was special about FC2, then again I'm not into that sort of gameplay to begin with.

Nothings more shameful than having DOA Xtreme 2 achievements on your gamercard.

Maybe we'll have parties in 2011 and be able to do something but watching pictures while using the system's chat :D

It has games, just not enough online games that you wanna play with friends.

At times I wish we had a thumbs down feature or something.. but then again that'd just get abused too.

How so?

Crash Commando isn't helping matters any. Awesome game.
