RedBullLordy's Trophy Pilgrimage

[RedBullLordy]

A young bloke aged 21 who lives in the South-East of England. A casual Gamer due to being at University who has always been a Sony fanboy, well, except for the Sega Mega Drive when I fell in love with Sonic when I was about 3. Mostly into racing games, and to a certain extent the FIFA and Mortal Kombat Series. I always head back to the likes of Sonic to experience some joy from my childhood. My favourite game of all time has to be Final Fantasy X, I mean I just don't get it its the only Final Fantasy I like, I bought FFVII and its alright, but just doesn't cut it. Moving on, I also did own a Nintendo DS for the Pokemon Series, which I no longer play it, but countless hours were wasted! I have never owned a Nintendo Wii or Xbox.

I am into Formula 1, Football and Pool/Snooker. I would obviously love to get behind a wheel of a F1 car but sadly I got more chance of going to the moon than that happening. Football, I watch as well as I play, Support the Mighty Gunners and like to play in Goal. With Pool and Snooker it is a great way to relax, it is a shame there are no decent Pool/Snooker games on the PS3!

My Interest in trophies took time to build, when I was first starting playing the PS3 the trophy system had been released, so had to re-complete a few games. I didn't have a lot of money back in the day so it was quite a while between my first and second platinums, but now I am on a steady rhythm after hitting a patch late last year. Haven't really gone for any whory trophies, sure one of my later ones could be called that such as Terminator, but I am not really into shooters, so I felt that was a success rather than a quick platinum. I am hitting a hard patch currently, I mean I don't know what to go for next!

Burnout Paradise Elite Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 19/10/2008 Hardest Trophy: 8 Players Meet in the Wildcats' Baseball Stadium Burnout has always been a Franchise I have bought into, Burnout 2: Point of Impact did it for me, and got me hooked, Burnout Paradise did the same here, its amazing gameplay and variety of things to do just hooked me, and this was the first game I experienced online gaming. I mean easily spent 450+ hours just dossing on it listening to my own songs while racing and munching other cars.

Tekken Fanatic Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 08/11/2009 Hardest Trophy: Machine Crusher Yet again another series I love, especially Tekken 3 with Gon the Dinosaur, still hoping for him to make a comeback one day! Tekken 6 was alright, had an awful story, but besides that it is a classic beat 'em up. One I thought I never was going to get, especially the fact I forgot I was playing on the hardest mode throughout the game, so I dumbed it down. By then I got the urge, and from then on I wanted to collect Trophies. 7/10 as the story was horrible. No Gon though

Platinumary Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 16/06/2010 Hardest Trophy: Yatta! Pure Nostalgia here, completing all the games I couldn't as a child! 90% of the classics were there, could of added more hence the 9/10. Mean Bean Machine was obviously the hardest by far, had a break between them and the rest of the trophies. I enjoyed this game a lot, especially the Sonic Series. Sonic fanboy, and also found interest in Streets of Rage. Very enjoyable game, I found the columns trophy tricky too, well more boring than tricky. Just can't speak enough words, Dreamcast Collection?

Ultimate Collection Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 21/06/2010 Hardest Trophy: Top of the Class Two quick easy platinums, both Sonic related, I mean will this character ever get old? A great mini-racer, reminds me of Mario Kart Double Dash. Solid set of characters and levels, highly recommend it for fun and for the plat!

Complete Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 01/09/2011 Hardest Trophy: Nifty 50 My favourite Motorsport is back, after a long wait for a game Codemasters did a superb job. Played countless hours, Nifty 50. 490 wins in the end for it. A good 430 where 6-10 laps. It took me nearly a year to do. So a big wait, but I am a casual gamer. Just did it in enough time before the next F1 was released. 10/10 is bias, as I love and I mean love Formula 1.

Complete Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 21/10/2011 Hardest Trophy: Drivers' World Championship (Hard) Just a tad bias again on the Game Rating. I loved this as much too, the trophies were a little easier, only one grind of 500 practice miles. The new KERS and DRS toys were fun like real life. The online play is much better, and joined a Racing League as a Result!

All Trophies Collected Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 04/12/2011 Hardest Trophy: Can't Touch This Went halves with my brother, really just for the music, and playing through the previous games in a whole new level, with the classic music in the background. Going through past Sonic games for the 20th anniversary was so much fun, classic music, and revamped ones, a little more could of been included like Tails involved more, and the fights against rivals besides Eggman were pretty weak.

Dertiminated Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 29/12/2011 Hardest Trophy: Veteran Commander This is more of an achievement than first thought I am not a fan of shooting games, Not the best shooter on the market and even I can say that! Game was pretty poor, I didn't know how it warranted the £39.99 retail price to begin with, 10 levels, 3 difficulties and about 7 types of weapon... Nice. Picked it up for £6!

Football Legend Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 19/02/2012 Hardest Trophy: Growing Club One of the more harder games in my collection. I probably spent £20 in stupid Ultimate Team packs, and was really annoyed the 250+ games I played on Ultimate Team did not count towards the fudging 50 hour trophy! I spent one day just buying rare silvers and saw my Value was going up and up, and sneaked 85 million! I then just put it to 20 minute halves and did other things just making sure the ball was in play etc. A very proud Platinum this

inFamous 2 Platinum Trophy Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 15/06/2012 Hardest Trophy: Great Power Comes Greater Power Close to platting the first, but the stunts I could not be bothered with. Much better sequel than first expected. I loved the game, from the looks of it this is the end of the series which is shame as I truly liked these two games. I got both of them for free through the PS+ membership. Sucker Punch should be proud, besides the Formula 1 Games I would quite easily say this is one of the best games I have played on the Playstation 3.

___________________________________________________________

Platinum Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 08/08/2012 Hardest Trophy: Kit Collector Played it for fun for the first couple of days getting the odd trophy, it was only when i realised I was rubbish at a couple of events I tried to go for the platinum. Stuck on the last day of events for a few hours, kept on coming fourth needing a medal to get that bastard of a trophy kit collector. Pole Vault, long distance running and something like Judo would of brilliant, but not in the game!

100% Devotion Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 21/11/2012 Hardest Trophy: The Equipment may be the same Loved it, part of an online racing league, enjoyed everything except the glitched trophy which I have put as the hardest one. The game was definitely biggest difference besides the initial leap of F1 2010 from Championship Edition. The car handling was so much better, and I love keeping open the DRS until the last second even if I do get a drift going on. Wish they had practice mode on online multiplayer which is probably my only gripe with the game

All Star Legend Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 24/11/2012 Hardest Trophy: Character Mastery Was against it, but thought stuff it, great game in all, will continue to play with friends especially with the announcement of DLC. The completing Arcade Mode is a grind as there is no difference except for who you fight with each character. Online, Arcade and Versus are the only modes which is a let down, but game should grow on me, thought to see if I could get the platinum and look! Character Mastery is difficult but finished it off.

True Theivius Raccoonus Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 01/12/2012 Hardest Trophy: Oh No He Didn't Saw this in my games I got as a freebie an age ago from the Playstation Plus scheme. Thought about it and went for it. I never saw myself actually getting a Sly Cooper game but I guess PS All Stars showed me he could be a laugh. I forgot I had this, and was thinking of cleaning up other games. A fun game which wasn't do difficult except for the last boss which was a bit of a challenge. Nothing hot, but a nice easy one after the hard streak I have been on!

OVER 9000! Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 09/12/2012 Hardest Trophy: Title King One of my favourite Anime's as a kid, thought lets relive it all, the game mechanic is pretty crap, mash square or triangle with most of the battles being 50/50 over who gets to attack first. The Hero mode is a bit pants if you ask me, same as Story mode but your just a made up character collecting Dragonballs to save the world. Online is HORRIBLE! The servers are held together with glue by the looks of it, your lucky to get a string of 3 fights. I thought it glitched on me and I would never had it!

Congratulations Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 23/12/2012 Hardest Trophy: The Champ Been eyeing up this game for a while now, saw it for £4.00 and thought why not! Something to do before Christmas! At first it was a great little game, especially for the price, but then it became very repetitive and the fact it was based on time rather than laps annoyed me, I would purposely hold the field up so I wouldn't have to do another lap! The Trophy difficulty wasn't too hard, just a grind at the end. Some were horrible to drive, whilst some were alright

There is No Cake Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 17/01/2013 Hardest Trophy: Cartoon Apocalypse Was a bit suspect at first, but wow, what a game, but it just rules. Family Guy has been a favourite programme of mine for a while now. I am sure we might see Family Guy come back with another game. Short Story was short, but mostly enjoyable, the multiverse madness trophy. How annoying! It takes around 120 minutes to get to the final and died last level! Loved Launcher Minigun Quagmire, wanted Consuela as a playable character though!

Ultimate All-Star Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 01/02/2013 Hardest Trophy: Team Sonic Loved the previous game! This game was just as good, but the trophies were far harder than I wanted, but stuck by it, and with a bit of luck and asking about finally got the online trophy than caused me the most trouble. The game is a solid racer, with the fun of Sonic amongst the other key Sega stars. Wreck-It Ralph was a nice addition too, and was great to see AGES (Daytona Arcade Car!!!). Great follow up the original.

Taking A Liberty Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 14/02/2013 Hardest Trophy: Wanted! RARR! Fucking Grind and some! First trophy in October 2008! Four years, hardest platinum, and it will be a while before something beats it. The game was sound, sure some aspects could be changed, like where was the added stuff besides bowling etc. SA had so much more! The online trophies, what a bastard to get AWP and Wanted! I got them so in your face Rockstar! Taking A Liberty? Yes you did! It was fun nonetheless I guess.

Race Star Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 14/02/2013 Hardest Trophy: 100% Career Nice mini-karting game! Like Sonic Racing and LBP Racing. A bit different as you can't drift, which is a good touch considering it is Formula 1. KERS corners was a great idea as it is like F1 with the speed coming out the corners. Bubbles were a strange inclusion, thought something different would of been there. SC and Wet weather were a great inclusion, and the damage system was just right. A solid game, but I think with better weapons it could of been better.

Unlikely Bandit Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 18/02/2013 Hardest Trophy: Tick-Tock Been meaning to buy the Sly Trilogy after completing the first, was actually superb, outshone the first one in every single way. I got it in the PSN Sale, and this and hopefully the next platinum for under £7 is an amazing deal, after the heaviest grind, need one or two platinums to soften the pain. This is seen as a whore platinum, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game

Worms Elite Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 05/02/2012 Hardest Trophy: Ranked Master Pure Nostalgia here again. Worms 2 on the PS1 ruled, the 3D ones didn't do it for me. This did, a big thanks to StewartBros had fun boosting wins!

Platinum Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 30/07/2012 Hardest Trophy: Shop-A-Holic Hell Yeah! Back with Worms. 3D this time! Worms games to come out soon a franchise that can never die with the amount of stupidity put into the weapons. Thanks to StewartBros yet again for the help for the online.

Worm Winner Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 28/11/2012 Hardest Trophy: Worminator Back to Worms 2D, third Worms Platinum! Big thanks to StewartBros yet again with the boosting! Alongside the Formula 1 hat-trick I have the Worms Hat-trick. Number 16! Even had to sync the pictures for most of the trophies! Good rare platinum, the new added water effect was brilliant, added another tactic to the game

Platinum Trophy Game Rating: Trophy Difficulty: Completion: 17/01/2012 Hardest Trophy: Supreme Being A friend suggested me to buy this, I did not know much about it, just said it was a micro machine kind of game. I loved Micro Machines as a kid, I was a pretty solid game, nothing special, and the trophy difficulty yet again, one or two annoying ones. Alright game, could be fun with a few friends! A Nice break from Wanted Grind in GTA

Hey man,great start to your cl.you could probably add a little more info on your plats and get a nice banner,but hey im not complaining.great start again mate and interesting bio too.i look forward to seeing your list evolve

[Chambers35]

Definitely a nice start mate, I look forward to see where you go with it, no doubt getting some Auron banners up there

[BEAMER231]

Nice start to your trophy checklist. Also congrats on getting F1 2010 thats quite a hard and time consuming plat.

[bmj14772]

Nice looking Checklist. I had never heard of F1 before and you have the 2 s, haha. They are both pretty rare trophies so Congrats

I'd love to see more of your thoughts on the games that explains your ratings. What's next on the list?

[RedBullLordy]

Nice looking Checklist. I had never heard of F1 before and you have the 2 s, haha. They are both pretty rare trophies so Congrats

I'd love to see more of your thoughts on the games that explains your ratings. What's next on the list?

I don't really know, not a lot out there that interests me at the moment and thanks for the feedback to all. I may add a bit more to them as I go along. I'm so close with inFamous and FIFA 12, but I don't see me getting inFamous as I can't do the challenges, and FIFA 12, I'm not forking out anymore money on Packs. Could 100% Sonic 2, but I would need a boosting partner as online is pretty much dead.

[Kaoskauser]

Really good start.
My first was Borderlands and the only trophy I would consider trophy whorish out of mine would be Sly 1.

[Admiral_Awesome91]

Nice start with your checklist and may I add you have some plats I never see such as the F1 2010, F1 2011, and Worms 2., congrats

[backblast]

Nice start on your checklist mate. Good luck on your other games. Keep up the good work

[mattveego]

Lookin good so far. Now you just need to head over to ExDesigns or Sigs and Beyond to get yourself some nice banners.

[StewartBros]

Hey bud, nice to see you set up a checklist!

Looking good - keep those plats coming in!

[RedBullLordy]

Cheers, I need to get some more harder Platinums, as according to some Peeps I am a trophy whore, hmm... What to go for next?

I am so glad I got MK:Arcade Kollection done, my hardest PSN game yet.

[gamelord-2007]

Interesting that the name of your checklist is eerily similar to the name of my checklist (just with different usernames) but I asume that was just a coincidence .

Anyway a very nice start to your checklist, don't think I've seen anyone with the F1 plats before and looking forward to seeing your checklist fully grow .

[Feral]

Lookin good mate
Absolutely agree with you about Tekken 6, the story is shit. Prefer Tekken 5.

[Admiral_Awesome91]

Cheers, I need to get some more harder Platinums, as according to some Peeps I am a trophy whore, hmm... What to go for next?

I am so glad I got MK:Arcade Kollection done, my hardest PSN game yet.

Your not a whore and also don't let others opinions affect the game you are going to play, trust me its not worth getting a hard when you didn't have fun playing the game. Nice progress on the checklist

[RedBullLordy]

Near FIFA 12 Plat, #10 Platinum. Really overjoyed about this one, I reckon by far this is the hardest one yet!

[john3007]

Hey man,well done on your progress with sonic 1 and bttf and good luck in getting the plat for fifa 12 too.my mate at workhas got the plat and he said it took him ages and it was difficult,so i can imagine the time and effort you have put into it is a fair amount.keep up the good work mate

[RedBullLordy]

After a long wait for either a decent game or PS+ freebie one has come. Shift 2 Unleashed, a hard platinum, but I think if I am patient enough it is possible. Earnt my first trophy for 4 weeks this week, that is how dull I feel the gaming market has been.

[DaRe_xLw]

That's a sweet looking checklist. Nice job.

[daftprophet]

Nice looking list man! Good luck with Shift 2
