That, and I don't have a ton of games, I try to get the most value out of the ones I have.

My other Plats are for Burnout and Sega Genesis Collection.

Thanks for the kind words!

lol That's some nice stuff. I'm looking to get 2 more before the summer is over: inFamous and (my holy grail) GTA 4. The only one i have so far is LOTR Conquest... sooo easy haha.

Oh, and i'm thinking of renting Terminator Salvation for the easy platinum.

I had a heckuva time with the final fight on Hard, it took about 90 mins. Seemed to ramp the difficulty up quite a bit just for that battle, and the randomness of his attacks were a little frustrating. Once I got in the groove of the patterns, though, I still had to get a little lucky at the end. That battle was closest I've ever come to splinterizing a controller. Anyway, back to lurking...

now im worried, haha.
my first fight with kessler was SO easy on Medium.
i took him down in less than 15 minutes. And only died twice.

I found both fights with Kessler not too hard
not that i beat him quickly, it took a while on medium and hard
i also died a few times on each difficulty, but i didn't think the fight was excruciatingly rough.

the best way to beat him on hard (if your evil) is with Arc Lightning to me
it drains his life much quicker than regular bolts and you can hit him more often (at least i could)

[teedub]

Arc Lightning was definitely my weapon of choice for the Hard Kessler battle. The Medium fight wasn't bad at all, but I seemed to have problems with the Hard battle. I didn't have the timing for the "roll out of the way of his Force Push" down for quite a while, probably my undoing for the mostpart.

In my frustration, my lovely wife took the sticks from me to give me a little break and found a little hiding spot while messing about. Worked like a charm for the first and most of the second phase, but once he started deploying his minions it was rendered void.

I had finished both GTA 4 and Uncharted prior to trophies being released, and won't be revisiting GTA anytime soon, and won't own Uncharted until the inevitable 2-pack comes out.

I've got 9 games, 7 of which allow trophies, and I've Platinum'd 3 of the 7. I'm pleased with that ratio, especially since I'll soon have 4 of 7. (Wolverine)

I thought about renting Terminator, but I'm not that much of a trophy ***** to slog through a mediocre game for an easy Platinum. Not that I'm against the idea, I just couldn't do it.

[Diesel]

I think I would have died less on both difficulties if I had tried to hide or play defense

I just went head on at him both times

That's usually how I do for most games, I've never been a defense kinda player in games, I like to just attack all out and finish off the enemies as fast as possible.

[teedub]

Ha ha ha! Blaze of glory, eh?

I used the cover system throughout both playthroughs, I think I normally try to play games that way. Wolverine is definitely the exception.

Sometimes "guns blazing" can be much more effective, nothing wrong if it works for you! The Evil playthrough allowed for much more of that.

What a great game! I was sad when I put it back on the shelf, almost went for a third time through!

[Diesel]

Oh yea

I may start up a third play through soon to get all the stunts done, some are a little harder to get done when you have all the districts cleared

[teedub]

I managed to get all the stunts on my first playthrough as Good, but I still needed "back at ya" after the endgame. Took a little while but I found a way. Which ones are you missing?

[Diesel]

I don't remember
its been a week or more since I played.

I do remember only had 4 left though.

Impressive, I had a heck of a time on good trying to find a place to shockwave three baddies at a time off a high spot. I thought I'd managed it a couple of times but, apparently not as I never got the stunt. Playing on evil this was massively easy as one of the evil side missions has a ton of people on a roof that was good for several stunts. Still having issues with a couple stunts but, doubt I will take the time to try and finish it. Though the trophies are an interesting way of challenging people to play a game longer, some of the trophies just aren't worth taking the time for IMO.

sweet just got my plat

[School]

i know this should be put up in the trading forum but i have a extra infamous case with booklet that game fly sent me by mistake after i purchased it. If anyone is interested send me a pm. i will charge 6 bucks with shipping thanks.

For that stunt, i got it during that mission for Moya where you have to destroy the engines on the boats. At one of the piers on the roof of a building was 3 guys that i pushed off.

OT: I ended up renting T:S after all and getting the Platinum. I feel dirty. :P

For the InFamous stunts, I didn't have to chase many of them after the fact. Guess I was fortunate that way. Even in endgame, there's a place where you can find three enemies on a roof for that stunt, (though the location escapes me at the moment).

Damn near impossible to get this stunt if you already beat Kessler. The left over enemies running around don't really give you this opportunity. This stunt almost requires you to play through a 2nd time because you didn't realize you needed to do it the first time! This was the only stunt I was missing during my Good run. I'm on an Evil run now and made sure I got that stunt when there were still tons of enemies during the water tower tar missions.

Some places you can attempt: Neon city on the west side of the park there's the rail tracks. Three reapers are always respawning there. If you have Guardian level shockwave upgrade, you can easily do high fall from the tracks. GETTING ALL 3 is the hard part, but I can see how it's possible. I think it's also possible to do it by Zeke's place. There are reapers on the tracks there, too.

Ya definitely the hardest stunt, i got it on one of the later story missions. The one where you have to get through the prison, there are 3 guys at the very top of the prison. It did take a while though, i purposely died at least 20 times so i could retry. i eventually got them all in the far corner and luckily hit them all before one ran away. I now have my fourth platinum thanks to this awesome game.

[teedub]

It's a lot easier once you have the shield, you can corral them to the corner of a rooftop. At least that's what I managed to do. :P

[GLaDOS]

Just took over all the territories in every district. All I need to do is get all those dead drops, and those blast shards. I hope I get all of them!

Are you thinking of on the train tracks near Zeke's apartment at that little station?

As for me, i've completed 31/40 missions. Just have to beat it, upgrade all evil powers and then get the platinum.

[BoostedFloto]

I beat Kessler on Evil Hard last night.....That battle was very frustrating a lot more so then the medium good one. Took me a good solid Hour or so.

I got all my Stunts on my Good play through and now just collecting Shards 75 left lol
