Completed Jak 3, just need to get all of the platinum orbs to platinum. Finish off Uncharted 3 getting all of the treasure and kills. Finish off SR3 by getting all of the vehicles, kill targets, base jumping, and the ending of the first act. Also need to finish off LA Noire to get a few more trophies. Spring (Game) Break, I'm going to go somewhere up on the leaderboards.

...! posted:Looking at the full list of plats, I'm kinda surprised by some of these. I'm one of only four goons to plat Resonance of Fate and one of only three to plat AC: Brotherhood. I would have thought more goons would have those. Also, Dark Souls isn't listed which makes me think that it's not on Sony's official list for some reason. Hello there fellow "Stardust Hunter"   I'm so close to AC:B's platinum, but I doubt anyone's playing online anymore. I got to like level 38 and just got really bored. That and I could never organize a boosting party for the Employee of the Month bullshit. I have like every other trophy though. Also I'm very very close to finishing Castlevania Lords of Shadow. I've done all the collection stuff and all the trials. All that's left is just finishing it on paladin (which isn't hard, just a bit time consuming for me at this time) Also grinding DW7, which is especially tedious since I just finished a week long platinum binge on Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 not too long ago.

A few thoughts: The page takes awhile to load because you're displaying hundreds of goons. I'd think about implementing some sort of pagination (should be simple in PHP) to reduce this. I made the same suggestion to the guy who ran the first PS3 goon database (and honestly, the new one really needs to do this). I'd try to keep it to twenty or thirty rows a page. This will also reduce the CPU load on your server. How are you storing the information? If you're using a database backend (like some iteration of SQL) you might want to think about adding links for different methods of sorting the information, like maybe number of plats or number of total trophies or an alphabetical sort of PSN names, adding descending sorts as well as ascending, etc. Maybe even add an option to search for a specific PSN name. These kinds of things would be pretty trivial to add but would get people to stick around on the site just playing around with all the options. Edit: Also, just a personal preference but I really think serifed fonts are really ugly. I'd consider maybe changing to a sans serif font like Arial or Helvetica to make the site easier on the eyes. ...! fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Mar 5, 2012 |

I am really terrible at web-design; my day-job is PHP coding and I've just been working on the goon trophy stuff while I'm at work between serving customers and working on work-related PHP stuff. I can add "sort by" stuff really, REALLY easily, I just need to actually do it sometime when there's no customers for like 10 mins. I also need to add indexes to the database so it loads a fuckload quicker. As far as font/design go, I'm not too sure what to do. I only know barely enough CSS and Javascript to make the basic stuff you see on the page at the moment (the Display Goons toggles on the Platinum Page). I love PHP but I hate doing design stuff. edit: if anyone else wants access to the database for any reason to make cool stuff, that's okay with me too.

Mug posted:Pretty much just gonna use this thread to discuss trophies in general, too. Just finished off Aurath's Wrath. Got 50% of the trophies in one playthrough which is okay I guess. Dunno when I'll get back to it to get a few more. I'm taking it 2048 isn't anywhere as difficult as wipEout HD? I was wondering this last night, does the Uncharted Vita game have that bonus/extras menus 1 and 2 had, with all the silly cheats and stuff? Managed to clean up Uncharted3 last night. Pretty drat close with Ace Combat:AH and COD:BLOPS and GoW3. Not sure what I should try and finish up first.

Also, how the gently caress do you beat the QTE boss(es) on crushing? It just always says I'm wrong. 2048 is hard as gently caress, but I don't think it's quite as hard as HD.

It just always says I'm wrong. Vita Uncharted does not have the bonus menu. For the QTE bosses you just have to keep throwing yourself at it. Personally I ended up just gliding my finger over it in short sharp taps. Like if it's an arrow pointing to the left, I just swipe left with the tip of my finger, but I only touch the screen for a split second. The touchscreen knows which way your finger is moving as it leaves the screen kind of. Basically I make my swipes super fast and super light. Still ends up with errors, but I get further.

Finally got that platinum and 100% on Mass Effect 2. Not a moment too soon since Mass Effect 3 gets here in 12 hours. Here's to trying to get the platinum in less than 2 years this time around.

Great work on this Mug, as a relative newcomer to Platinum chasing this is awesome! In such esteemed surroundings, I'm happy with #68! Fair play to the 4 who've got the Beat Zico trophy on Wipeout HD (which should be a platinum in itself), and in fact anyone who had the patience to grind out all of the multiplayer trophies on AC: Brotherhood.

I used to play almost exclusively on the PC (and built monstrously overpowered PCs to do this) but once I got my PS3 I switched pretty much exclusively to console gaming. PC gaming does have a lot of advantages over PS3 gaming still (like better graphics and mods) but as I've gotten older I've found that, for me, just being able to pop in a game and play outweighs all of that. The younger me would be horrified to hear that. And the fact that now that I'm disabled I can lay down on my couch and play PS3 games rather than having to sit in a chair to play PC games has been another major factor in my transition. Edit: The more I think about it, maybe Mug and the guy running the PS3 goon database should consider consolidating into one site. That would be pretty convenient. ...! fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Mar 7, 2012 |

I was gonna just give my trophy API to the guy running the goon DB but we are on totally different clocks and it was hard to find time to work together so I just made the scraper that automatically brings people from the DB into the trophy board.

I'm trying to scrape the EU playstation site for way more comprehensive info. Does anyone have any idea what the URLs are to publicly viewable profiles on there? I can't find any, and I can't just limit this to scraping just my friends list. Raptr know how to do it apparently, but I doubt they'll share.

Hey Mug, thanks for the link. I put my details on the PS3/Vita goon list several weeks back, but on the leader board it has me at #364 but with zero trophies. Any idea why it's not picking me up? I should be at level 6, with 1 platinum (Saints Row: The Third). Right now my e-penis looks shrivelled and dangly. Most of my games are on Xbox anyway, but I still love the idea of leader boards for extra motivation.

You put a space in your PSN name on the goon DB IDIOT. I'll change it in the database, hopefully it doesnt re-scrape and overwrite it.

It automatically synchs just once, every time you sign into the PSN now, it has done it for a few months. Anyway, I fixed your thing. Go to the PS3 goon database and remove that space from your PSN name just so it doesn't try to rescrape you. edit: Doh, it rescraped you. Now there's two Parkingtigers.

#66. I guess that isn't too bad. I'm trying to platinum Wipeout 2048, I've already finished the campaign and all of the single player trophies. I'm on the 5th multiplayer campaign section but I still have yet to unlock 'Halfway There'.. Am I missing something? Hopefully this didn't screw up my platinum run because I'd really hate to be missing just one trophy

Thanks for sorting me out Mug, much appreciated. I tried logging back into the PS3 goons site as you said, but it rejected every password I tried to give it but eh. Say, is there an Xbox Live leaderboard to match this? Most of my games are on there.OMGzKakaniz posted:'m trying to platinum Wipeout 2048, I've already finished the campaign and all of the single player trophies. I'm on the 5th multiplayer campaign section but I still have yet to unlock 'Halfway There'.. Am I missing something? Aren't there 20 multiplayer sections? Halfway hasn't been reached yet. You're lucky, I only ever got 2048 online once, so I'm barely into the online campaign. Keep getting the same error message and I have to play without a network connection, so I don't even get the benefit of comparing lap times with others. Awesome game, but I hope they fix this soon.

I don't have platinum for pms but throw me an e-mail if you're interested, samoskau at the gmail thingy. Edit: Had nothing else to do so I tried whipping out a simple design idea, feel free to use it if you want to.

I see what you mean. I guess I was reading it a bit more literal as just 10 matches. I had to switch memory cards and it had messed with some of my progress when I had started playing. Just wasn't sure if I had messed it up. I'm not sure why people are having problems... the online load time are ridiculous but I've never gotten an error besides the first day it was out.

You gotta 'Finish first' all of them at this point. Also, you don't have to Elite them for the trophies, just Pass. The two multiplayer complete ones are the only trophies I have left.

OK, I'm officially annoyed enough by the load time on this script that I want to fix it, pain be damned. If you don't mind me helping out, I'd need a copy of the PHP script and access to your FTP and mySQL servers. It would also probably take me awhile because my pain won't let me sit for more than a short burst at a time. All that being said, if you want the help then send me an email at glitchtastic@gmail.com.

I'll be giving you access to a ton of SQL tables, just don't gently caress around with the other stuff in there. Can't be bothered restricting you to the trophy table. Do you have an IM program, or use IRC? I'd rather chat if that's okay.

It blows my mind that I'm anywhere on this list these days. Work means I only play anything I'm not reviewing with only the lightest (we're talking 20 minutes, tops in most cases) glance. I guess I glance at more stuff than I thought. Gonna move up a spot, though. Must.
