Drake is where you start the level, treasures do carry over, and your chapter info allows you to see which mysteries are in the level are still missing in addition to the picture of the items next to where it is found.

I didn't pick it up until the end of my hard playthrough and have found it incredibly useful in closing out missing items in my crushing playthrough.

Anyone Platinum this (or close to it)?

I'm about 2/3rds through my crushing run-through, which surprisingly hasn't been as difficult as I expected.

What I've noticed though is that I'm only at one Bounty set where I have 29/30 gold coins) and only 2 fetishes. Feels like I may need to grind out a few final trophies in certain chapters on easy.

FYI for anyone looking to easily get the 75 kills without dying or collect bounties quickly - the areas where you have to protect Chase, Sully or Dante are great for that. There are lots of enemies and usually you're protected and in no danger of dying - if the other person dies you restart but that does not count as a death for Drake. So you can let them die towards the end of it and basically use those sections to "farm" bounties and rack up kills without dying.

I platted it a couple of weeks back.

I've beat the game in crushing and did all the "fun" trophies but I'm only %75.. still that's the closest I've ever got to a platinum, so now I'll play with a guide to find all the treasures and mysteries since these are the trophies that are holding me back

I have. I have to keep my record of getting the platinum for every uncharted game intact.

I'm down to steel fist master and the GAU kills primarily - meaning I've put it aside and probably only have a 50/50 chance of coming back to it.

just earned my first platinum, ever!

Finally got around to playing this - on Ch 24 now, and gotta say, it started a little slow, but has been a pretty awesome game. Truly worthy of the Uncharted name, I think.

There is so much detail going on, and while the screen is larger than the PSP, I will say I do find myself wishing this was ported to PS3. Hopefully down the road.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, along with many other games from the PSP and Vita if they sold them on the PSN or retail ports.

We shall see. I'd say we might get a port when the Vita hits its 2nd year of release. I mean, they ported the God of War games, and I'd never have thought that was possible.

Fingers' crossed.

Yup that's exactly how I felt. I'm also on chapter 24. Played a bit the first day it came out and then not again, the touch controls threw me off. Lost power on Saturday and decided to play it and have been going thru it pretty fast.

Only thing that sucks is that I got to the puzzle where you had to put the vita towards a light source to reveal the message and since I had no power, I couldn't get past it

I'm revisiting this for what seems like the millionth time in hopes of earning a platinum trophy. Collecting everything at first just seems so overwhelming. But then I realized, stupid me, that you can play each individual chapter from the start menu. Finding everything including treasures, mysteries, bounties, and getting some of the ridiculous kill counts with some of the rare guns should keep me busy until the next major game release. What, Bioshock, I think.

I think I got my platinum back in April.

Here's another question. Would anyone here want to see another installment for the Vita? I sure would!

[cajmoyper]

Eff yes! I mean the aiming still feels a little weird to me but I'm not sure that's not just the nature of the tiny joysticks. I still love this game for it's story and it absolutely feels like an Uncharted story. Any more canon for this series would be much appreciated.

Definitely. Bend studio did an excellent job with Golden Abyss.

I just recently (like 2 weeks ago) finished my Crushing playthrough, so all that's left is trophy cleanup for a platinum, then I'm off to do some card gaming in Fight for Fortune after I power up the rest of my cards.

[cajmoyper]

Plat!!! Although with my last two trophies, I felt like the game was trying to eff me. I had two bounty cards to collect and even though the first 19 went by quite quickly, the last two took forever!!! It was pissing me off. I thought it might have been a glitch. And then as a poster previously said, "Steel fist expert is the bain of my existence."

You're lucky you got it now. There were certain parts which were almost impossible to pass on Crushing until they patched it. Namely the chase sequence across the riverbank...
