Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs is a third-person action-adventure set in an open world. Players control a hacker who utilizes a smartphone to control aspects of the environment, such as traffic lights and trains, as well as access people's personal information and access security systems. The game also includes online co-op and competitive play.

Taking place in a fictional version of Chicago, Aiden Pearce is a hacker whose criminal past resulted in the death of his niece. Now, he's using his hacking skills to track down and seek revenge for those responsible.

Watch Dogs received positive reviews with an average score of 81%, praised for the visuals and detailed environment, stealth aspects, and overall fun, though criticized by some for its shallow story and lack of sympathy towards the main character.

The game is fairly average in terms of difficulty, though a bit time consuming. One full playthrough is required, with a fair bit of miscellaneous trophies to mop-up afterwards. While a few of the online trophies can be boosted, it's not entirely necessary. Overall, the Platinum difficulty is on par with most titles in the Assassin's Creed series, though with far less online grinding.

Expect roughly 40-50 hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 have a separate list from those on the PS3.

The first thing to do is simply play through the story from beginning to end. While working through the 39 missions, we recommend keeping the online invasions turned on, so as to work towards the Traced trophy for being tailed five times. Once you obtain this trophy, feel free to switch it off.

Also, you can work towards finding songs for the Disc Space Full trophy, check in at all the hotspot locations you come across, and profile and hack as many citizens as you can. While there are no missable trophies in the game, doing this during your playthrough will simply save some grinding later on.

Once you've finished the story, it's time to finish up all those other trophies waiting to be unlocked. You can check your progress via the smartphone, where you can see you'll need to complete the side missions, the investigations, the online contracts, and the collectibles. There are also a few other miscellaneous trophies to unlock, so be sure to check out the Watch Dogs trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Finally, there are five online trophies to obtain. If you've left the online invasions turned on this whole time, then hopefully you'll have already unlocked the Traced trophy by now. However, there is also invading and observing 10 enemy Fixers in online tailing for both the Stealth Cookie and Piggyback trophy, completing 10 public online races for the Superhighway trophy, and invade and hack 10 enemy Fixers for the Hackification trophy. If you're looking for some assistance, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab.

Assassin’s Creed Origins Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Assassin’s Creed Origins Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action adventure and the tenth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, taking place in ancient Egypt. The Platinum is quite easy compared with those in previous installments, and only requires time.

Assassin’s Creed Origins

Assassin's Creed Origins is a third-person action adventure and the tenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, after the 2015 Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The game takes place in ancient Egypt where players can witness both the birth of the Assassins as well as The Order of the Ancients who eventually evolve into the Templar Order.

Set during the Ptolemaic period in Egypt between 49-47 BCE, Bayek is a Medjay who sets himself on a quest of revenge against five mysterious men who had previously attempted to kidnap and force him to open a mysterious vault. Though his quest for revenge will send him down an unexpected path.

Assassin's Creed Origins received positive reviews with an average score of 83%, praised for its beautiful environments and graphics, its fresh approach to the series, and large world to explore, though criticized for a few graphical glitches.

Not only are there no online trophies required for the Platinum, but the game can be played on an Easy mode. Also, like many of the previous games in the series, there are no missable trophies to worry about. The only thing this Platinum requires is time.

Expect roughly 50 hours of gameplay, depending on which difficulty mode you decide to play, and your skills.

First, feel free to set the difficulty mode to Easy if you're in a rush for that Platinum.

If you've played any of the previous games in the Assassin's Creed series, then you should know the drill. Begin things by simply playing through the main campaign and enjoy the story.

While there are technically no missable trophies, the Reduce Reuse Recycle trophy is easier to obtain if worked on from the beginning. This trophy requires selling 100 trinkets at once, so we recommend saving them up until you're ready for the trophy.

Once that's finished, it's time to do some grinding in order to reach Level 40, so that you'll be ready to defeat some high-level enemies which are tied to a few miscellaneous trophies. Work through exploring each location in your level before moving onto the next, and eventually you'll reach Level 40.

With that done, it's time to mop-up whatever you're missing. Be sure to check out the Assassin's Creed Origins trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Shaun White Snowboarding Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Shaun White Snowboarding Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A snowboarding game across six different mountains in a variety of events. Though the game possesses a steep learning curve, the trophies are doable with some time and skill.

Shaun White Snowboarding

Shaun White Snowboarding is a snowboarding sports game in which players race and perform stunts down six different mountains, competing against NPCs and eventually a digital rendering of American professional snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White.

Players compete in a variety of events, including Jibbing, Air Tricking, Slopestyle, Boardercross, and Halfpipe, earning both money and respect which allows them to upgrade their player-character. An online multiplayer mode is also included.

Shaun White Snowboarding's PS3 version received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 64%, praised for its overall fun, but criticized for its lack of presentation and ho-hum graphics.

For more information, check out our Shaun White Snowboarding Review.

It should be noted that Ubisoft announced the closure of their online servers on August 8 2014. As of the time adding this title to our game database, the servers still remain active, on borrowed time. The game has 7 online trophies, which will become unobtainable if/when the servers finally do go offline.

Aside from that, the most difficult challenge will be learning the controls. Once you've mastered the learning curve, many of the trophies can be rather easy to collect, if not simply time-consuming, with the Platinum earned in around 20-30 hours.

As we mentioned earlier, at the time of uploading this game to our database, the online servers are on borrowed time, and could be cut at any time. As a result, we recommend getting those 7 online trophies out of the way as soon as you can. Unfortunately, you'll need to unlock some challenges before you can play them online. This means, doing so should be a priority.

First start by exploring the areas and collecting tokens for each map, while getting used to the controls. The learning curve can be steep for some people, but once you've gotten the hang of it, you shouldn't have too much problem.

Once you're confident enough, go ahead and start working through the challenges and missions. After you've gotten through and everything's unlocked, don't worry about mopping-up just yet. Head online and start working on those 7 online trophies. Many of them don't require you to win, simply play different challenges on different mountains. But the Mecha Shredzilla trophy requires a total of 1 million respect points, and will take some grinding if you didn't achieve it while unlocking the others.

After all that's done, you can go ahead and start mopping up any remaining offline trophies you're still missing.

Far Cry 2 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Far Cry 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *****  A first-person shooter in an open world and a sequel to Crytek’s Far Cry. While not exceptionally difficult, the Platinum is incredibly time consuming.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Far Cry 2 ***** 49 Ubisoft Montreal Canada 38 7 3 16 0

Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 is an open-world first-person shooter, and a sequel to Crytek's Far Cry, despite being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and possessing new characters and settings.

The player-character is sent to the northern territory of Leboa-Sako on a mission to assassinate the arms dealer known as The Jackal. After recuperating from a bad case of malaria, the protagonist must continue the hunt for the Jackal, while staying alive in the African landscape which is in a state of anarchy and civil war. The game also features an online mode with matches that hold up to 16 players, and a map editor.

Far Cry 2 received positive reviews, averaging a score of 84%, praised for its visuals and open-world design, as well as the AI intelligence of the NPCs.

This game ranks alongside Grand Theft Auto IV and DC Universe Online as one of the rarest Platinums out there, and with good reason. While not exceptionally challenging, the amount of time required to put into this game for 100% is incredible.

The offline trophies alone will take up quite a lot of time as you must scour the entire map searching for collectibles and performing missions - not to mention complete the main story. While time consuming, this can be done in one playthrough if you follow the walkthroughs and trophy guides in our Links page. But the online trophies is where you'll be grinding the most. If you have a boosting partner, and perform the "Warlord" trick, it's possible to bring this rating down to a high 4-star, but still expect to put in over 200 hours into the game. Without a boosting partner, you're looking at nearly 400 hours.

You may want to take a leave of absence from your day-job, for this one.

The difficulty mode doesn't affect the trophies, so when you start the offline play, you may as well select the easiest mode. If you are aiming to obtain all the offline trophies in one playthrough, then you'll want to focus on completing all the available missions, as well as work towards finding all the collectibles and miscellaneous trophies before advancing through the main story. This includes finding all the audio logs, purchasing all weapons and all their upgrades, rescuing a buddy, completing a side quest for a buddy, among many others. Check out the Far Cry 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details, and pay close attention to any marked as "missable." From then on out, work your way through the main quest. Hopefully by the end, you should have all 32 offline trophies completed when you beat the game.

After, you still have all the online trophies to worry about, and this is where the grinding really comes in, particularly in reaching certain ranks. If you have a boosting partner, there's a glitch in which you can earn the Warlord trophy quickly - which means unlocking Rank 30. Check out the FIRST trophy guide in our Links page to find out how this is done. However, this glitch will not unlock the Mercenary trophy, which requires a Rank 20 - that, you will still have to grind for.

 

Good luck!
