I lol'd at the Play trophy. That Bunker level is a pain in the ass to complete. Nice list.

Treezy5045390d ago

Yeah out of all the games that was the only one I believe made me throw my controller. Gotta love LBP for it's deceiving looks because some of those levels are pretty challenging.

NukaCola5390d ago

The effing PLAY gold trophy is all that keeps me from the platinum, but it's rediculously hard. The Bunker is out of effing control. God I love LBP. Can't wait to get it on Vita.

-Alpha5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

I got through the Bunker in one try when I went for the Play trophy.

It's the other level in the ice world that I can't seem to get

I stopped trying because I lost a lot of my save data

Treezy5045390d ago

@Alpha that's sort of what happened with me for the Killzone 2 Elite trophy. I lost my saved data on my 60GB and I didn't want to start all over again. I should have tried beating it the first time but better late than never :)

goldwyncq5389d ago

The Bunker wasn't nearly as hard as the mines or serpent shrine. All you have to do is to keep practicing the wheel of death part til you got it right instead of automatically restarting the level when you die. Makes it a whole lot easier.

subtenko5389d ago

Frikken Killzone 2 Elite mode >_< and Radec....what a B****!.....twice! xD

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

ShadyDevil5390d ago

Demon souls as a whole..is annoying.

JoGam5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

I'm ashamed, I got Demon Souls day one and can't get off the first level. I know I know, I'll go hang myself. I like the game so much I'm still buying Dark Souls.

NovusTerminus5390d ago

The only thing you have to do in Demon's Soul's is play slow, don't charge in, wait for them to come to you. And fight smart, not aggressive.

I have the Platinum to Demon's Souls and also Soul Level 544, The Bladestone was the most annoying thing to do, took me 11 hours of non stop grinding,

Pacman3215390d ago

I know many people that got stuck on the first level, including my brother. I had to complete the first level for him, but after that he got used to it and loved the game. I honestly think the game isn't that hard, but i guess that completely depends on how good the player is.

BiggCMan5390d ago

It's not annoying, it's a fantastic game. It's difficult, which is different than annoying.

Eromu5390d ago

I never understood everyone crying about how hard the Pure Bladestone was to find. I got it with the base luck that Royals start with on my 3rd NG+ without even farming for it, just running through the level normally.

DragonKnight5389d ago

The Base luck actually helped you. Luck, in Demon's Souls, doesn't affect what kind of drop you'll get, it affects the quantity. World Tendency affects the kind of drop you have. In New Game+ and onward, your chances of getting better quality drops slightly increases. If you're in, say, New Game +++ and have Pure Black World Tendency, your chances of getting a Pure Bladestone are much greater than in your first playthrough.

On your first playthrough, I have found the best way to get the Pure Bladestone is to be at Pure Black World Tendency for world 4, start at 4-3 and move backwards through 4-2 and kill every single Dual Katana skeleton you come across up to the one guarding the entrance to the Adjudicator boss. The one in the hidden pathway is usually the one you'll get the Pure Bladestone from. That BP Dual Katana skeleton has less chance of dropping it than the normal DK skeletons in my experience.

Also, some people are just lucky.

helghast1025389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

You just got lucky, the chances of Pure Bladestone dropping are something like 0.1%
But now that I have some I duplicated it and invade worlds, giving random players some stones.
Im a good demon, and then I kill you.

Hicken5388d ago

Bubbles for that last line.

bigtrucknd5389d ago

Easy platinum only took 120 hours to achieve

XFON5390d ago

I saw the picture and instantly agreed! I just plat'd Demon Souls and that trophy was the last trophy I need.
Took me 5 days to get a pure bladestone!

PhoenixDevil5390d ago

Yh same with me, not quite as long but I must have put a gd 8-10 hours to get the pure bladestone, finally platted in 96 n a half hours :D cnt wait for dark souls

Lord_Sloth5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

DAMN DOUBLE POST!

Lord_Sloth5390d ago

Pure Black World Tendancy is not a requirement to obtain the Pure Bladestone.

Also, I have 6 of the buggers.

BiggCMan5390d ago

It is HIGHLY recommended though, and you may as well do it since it benefits you a lot. You have 6 though, that's cool. I guarantee you didn't get them within an hour though, it's just not possible.

Treezy5045390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

Yeah I was told it was easier with PBW tendency rather than the extremely rare chance you get it from a Dual Katana Skeleton

Ravens205390d ago

I got it within 2 hours from farming the dual katana skeleton through secret passage. With PBWT.

Kee5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

Farming this stone put me off demon's souls. I played this game for about a weekend and didn't get it. Plus there's the fact that sometimes it killed me because it is a strong enemy then sometimes it jumped off the cliff and I got nothing from it. But I went back this year and got it. By far my proudest platinum trophy.

@ravens20 yeah that was my method. I started in 4-2 then jumped straight down, avoiding the ghost monsters and went straight to the skeleton and fought it the old fashioned way with a my mirdan hammer. I was so surprised when I did get it.

DragonKnight5389d ago

What I hate the most about farming this stone is not the length and difficulty of the drop, but that the payoff is pitiful. A Sharp Uchigatana+5 is not exactly a powerful weapon, even at high dexterity. May as well just use Hiltless+5 with Curse Weapon. You can get 2 of them on your first playthrough and the payoff is much better.

Goodguy01565d ago

The lock on and intense and in depth one on one combat was always something I've been a fan of. Ocarina of time definitely deserves credit there as well which is also one of those games that may have inspired souls. Souls has done an amazing job at making many games better telling the world that difficult games are still great and loved.

italiangamer565d ago

Still have my PS3 copy sealed 🐸

thorstein565d ago (Edited 565d ago )

I still have my PS3 copy, but I played that game for over 100 hours.

italiangamer565d ago (Edited 565d ago )

My copy was a gift for a religious occurrence, back in 2011.
Never opened it because I already knew the Souls games are not for me but it's always nice to have it in the collection.

Prayingathiest565d ago

Demon souls and the remake will be forever etched in my mind so many playthroughs and a proper gaming experience

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro591d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken590d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown591d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72591d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken590d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya590d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast591d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood591d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

shinoff2183713d ago

Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy

isarai713d ago

Omfg i would go apesh!t for that 😩

jznrpg713d ago

I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.

mkis007713d ago

It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.

Demetrius713d ago (Edited 713d ago )

This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
