Games that had been out for weeks, sometimes only had a few posts in their forums, whereas .org had roadmaps/trophy guides etc.

Yet I still prefer the "list" on .co.uk as its easier to view, and I mark down trophies that I get as I go along....

Also, back to trophy counts/world placing etc. acording to the MMOS site, I've been looking at a lot of peoples cards recently, and ones with 1200 bronze yet 4-5 platinums are in the top 400. So thats leading me to think that more trophies will bring me up higher. No need to grinding out crappy games for a platinum if its going to take ages, as that time could be better spent playing some other crappy game for its bronzes... If you know what I mean.

Also grabbed Tomb Raider again from EB Games (different store

) as I never quite got time to play it last week, and I'm not liking prototype. So hopefully I can pwn that out of the way pretty quickly.

oh awesome... .org is a sister site of xbox360achievements.org

Sure is. In my early days when I was using ps3trophies.co.uk, I was always looking on X360A for guides, then I saw their sister site and stayed there

EDIT: N.B. Its good to see you back on the dark side :P A few of the people that I added back on launch haven't signed in for many many months...

Wolverine grinding done. Two trophies left, now to finish hard mode.

haha... its just that i'm spotting a few things that interest me :P i always pop on the ps3 every now and then (mainly to check the psn titles)... it does look like the ps3 is slowly developing tho... certainly much better then at launch! need to have some MP games with ocau ppl to get me more interested!

majority of gaming is still 360 or pc at the mo

i have to say i respect that... i've been thinking about doing it on 360 (already finished the story and loved it)... but i just don't know if i can do it haha

To be honest, the grinding didn't take long. I finished the core trophies on Sunday and left the grinding to this week. I thought it would take a few days to get the reflex skills up and the max level to allocate every skill, but I managed to do it in about 3 hours. Haven't got very far on hard (Sabertooth bar fight), but I'm hoping to knock it over before Friday. I predict maybe 1 or 2 tricky spots on hard.

Call of Juarez BiB isn't giving up trophies easily but I'm working on it.

MoNk{LAH} · 4th August 2009, 8:48 AM

i got like 5 trophies to go on midnight club, but these will be slow...plenty of grinding

might have to look at getting another game to get qquick trophies to keep my position on the whore list

edit: woohoo i'm now 3rd!! Level 9, 4%, just above Wink- lol

Lies, buy a new one!

I'm feeling pretty crappy today... might have to stay home and whore out Lara Croft... mmmm.

PsychoSmiley · 4th August 2009, 10:51 AM

The hard part for me is playing for trophies vs. playing for fun. Playing for fun comes as the primary for me with trophies coming in second. My first play through usually is to play the game without fussing over trophies. After that it's my OCD kicking in wanting to 100% the game. I'll always be bobbing around the 3rd-7th mark I think for trophies due to this approach.

i'm like that as well. First play through is for fun and story etc. Any trophies that come by is a bonus. Second playthrough is trophy whoring

It sure is tight at the front end! I'm now sitting level 4th with Wink on Lvl 9 - 3%, with M0nk3y, 1% in front for 3rd place! Ghost and FatBoy still untouchable in positions 1 and 2, but plenty of midfielders with potential to upset the apple cart pretty easily.

I'm really enjoying Burnout Paradise at the moment, played so many hours of it last night and it was a nice change of pace after my Lara platinum. Still have to plat InFamous too soon - fun weeks ahead! I'm also finally sinking my teeth into Killzone 2, but there are certainly not as many trophies to be had there. I've 100% BF43, but like any BF game I can't stop playing it!

Don't forget guys, the 15th will be the cut of date for deciding the updated standings, graphs etc - it's like biggest loser strategy, do you get your trophies in this month or next !?!

Matt, are there any plans (in the future, not asking for it tomorrow) for the leaderboards section to be expanded? I’m currently just under 1000 in the world (seem to hover there, over the last few months), but I’d really like to know my country ranking.

Neil,
The leaderboard idea has been something that we have looked at. With the site issues that we have been dealing with as of late, this was one of the ideas that was put on the back burner. Now that we have moved on from that, we will be implementing a major site upgrade in the upcoming months that may include the country leaderboard.

FatBoyNotSoSlim · 4th August 2009, 9:38 PM

Tomb raider is kind of fun.... a little slow going (still working on the controls a little) but its certainly not hard, just slow because I'm always reading the guide on my laptop....
