lots of fun, even the grinding at the end

Metal Gear Solid 4 next - will be VERY hard to platinum, but it'll be fun

Heh, I've been playing SR3 again the last few weeks, pretty vlose to my first platinum in a long time too. Just stuck mopping up the last few challenges, car thefts and assassinations.

Then it's onto/back up God of War 3 for me.

I don't think MGS4 is hard per say. The Big Boss Extreme run is but the rest is tedious and takes a while from the looks of it.

I'll see how it will compare to the other MGS games as I intend to give a crack at all of the HD ones too. MGS3 appears to be the easiest of all 3 requiring no super hard mode perfection runs. MGS2 from all reports is the hardest.

[emblurr]

Having a crack at MGS2 at the moment. Doubt I will try and get the plat though.

Gave up on Enslaved: odyssey of the west. Finished it on hard and was a lot of fun, but WAAAAY too many collectibles for my liking, would take another 15-20hrs of grinding. FUCK THAT lol.


Working on and almost done with "The Saboteur". This game is awesome, and any of u trophy hunters really should give it a go. Kinda like a GTA set in 1940, based around blowing shit up with explosives

My progress into the Chicken emblem for MGS4 is very slowly getting there. I've managed to dick away 7 hours in the first act with over 500 kills, 100 alerts, and nearly 100 recovery items used. Unfortunately the hardest one to grind is time. I need a total run time in excess of 35 hours as a requirement of the emblem. I can think of 4-5 hours of that I can consume with hugging a wall and being crouched while I'm not playing. I think this emblem is worse than the Big Boss one as it requires so much deliberate pissing about and time wasting.

Have to say it is a little bit Grindey getting all the targets. 1300 of them lol, and some take a bit!

Fair amount of fun though just smashing and blowing shit up. But just wished u could waypoint objectives so didnt have to keep consulting the map lol

4 trophies to go on MGS4. Did the flashback one which means mashing X through the cut scenes which I strongly recommend doing with a guide otherwise you will have to watch all 8 hours of them mashing X all the time. Also done the Chicken emblem run too which is painful and as far as I'm concerned the hardest emblem to get. Now just have to do 6 more runs for the Platinum.

I think the records for speed runs sit at under 2 hours. While it says you need to get under 5 hours the actual play time will sit well above that as if you're like myself, there was lots of quitting and reloading due to being spotted. For your chicken run just screw around and learn areas.

I would recommend leaving the BBE run until as late as possible. If you want to familiarize yourself do an exploratory BBE run as patrol paths, enemy locations and behavior are different than in other difficulties. You also want to horde the chaff grenades as you cannot purchase them. If you have enough when you get to Act 4 you can just walk straight through the areas that have the gecko's and dwarf gecko's by periodically throwing a chaff grenade which trim's play time down a lot. Act 3 has it's tricks for the escorting the resistance member and keeping the timer down which PS3Trophies.org would have info on.

As for myself I've done 3 runs now. I'm going to go for the high kills low alert run (aiming for 0 alerts for stealth camo) and hopefully nail it on the weekend meaning I'm half way through my total runs.

Might leave my "no kills" for infinite ammo till my BBE run....depends how i feel - might just do it on very easy just for that shiny gold trophy lol
