So the two harder trophies are now super easy to get? You can boost online trophies now and the drinking game got easier by like 100%? Well I feel happy knowing I got it before the patch.

tlou did something similar with the dlc mp trophies from ps3 to ps4, right? I hope this is the start of a trend where developers listen to feedback about crappy or unnecessarily difficult trophies/gameplay mechanisms and actually try to improve it.

I presume you'll also get that last "Beat ___ without taking damage" trophy?

Spelunker mode is 1 hit = death so it will come naturally. Hardest part of the plat was Monaca Dash, and to a lesser extent, the breakout brick breaker clone, both damn minigames. You have to perfect all the minigames in order to get all the swords.

Most larger developers seem to. You can add the Trial of Archimedes patch from the latest God of War as another example. Of course that one was worse since it meant many people could not finish the single player story mode.

yea, it used to be 5 downs or executions without dying on each of those maps.... ridiculous!

But I got the platinum in Watch Dogs, and yea I am glad to hear about the online, as they were so random and annoying, this at least allows for boosting with friends. The social lubricant trophy wasn't impossible, just took some time. I would understand if no one could get it, but it is just a hard trophy in a game full of almost all easy trophies. Now everyone should platinum Watch Dogs.

Correction: Everyone should start Watch Dogs and a fraction of us should get the plat to drive up the TT score.

I think we should talk about how I have the highest score in the thread on Tales of Arabian Nights in Pinball Arcade.

I'll go first.

I have the highest score in the thread on Tales of Arabian Nights. And it's not even close.

In summary, suck it y'all.

I haven't put much effort into that one, but if you want me to crush your score I will! What is your score? I can't connect my Vita to the work WiFi to check…. Also the lack of friend leader boards on the PS4 version sure is dumb.

I'm going to sound like a jerk for saying this, but I didn't recognize some of the Twitch handles during Tyler's stream last night. I got the obvious ones (Matt, Bums, Stotch, Jay, etc.) plus rpg (Platking), but there were a couple others, like Jdogg, who didn't ring any bells. Are they regulars here?
Click to expand...
No they're not CAG regulars. I get a lot of randoms on my streams. Ninja says it's because there is a lot of chatting going on, which vaults me way up on the list of searchable streams. So if someone wants to watch some Rogue Legacy, mine will be at or near the top since people are chatting in my stream and it looks more active than a lot of other streams.

I've found games like Don't Starve and Rogue Legacy bring in a lot more randoms because they have a decent following on the internet. I didn't get as many drop-ins on Trine 2 or other stuff I've played.

88 million plus some change.

I have no doubts that you and pete will crush my score. Just found it odd none of you were really above 30-40 mil on that one.

Now I have the wizard goals for that table as two of my top five rarest trophies.

Yeah, it's one of these. At least it's a bit more entertaining.

I get crazy ass obsessed when I start working on a table - like hours straight without blinking crazy. I don't know what happens. my biggest complaint is that there's no way to submit to the leaderboards later if you're offline or the vita goes to sleep. I had an unreal star trek tng run that would've put me in the top 10 but I accidentally let the vita sleep while I went to take care of a crying baby. I was also in a competiton at the time and losing that run dropped me to 3rd.

I remind that child every day about how they ruined daddy's chance at fame.
 
Sounds like Phil Fish and his company got doxed real good.  People's private information should never be shared like that, but if I had to choose one person for it to happen to, I'd probably choose Phil Fish.

 
Tyler, I forgot to ask this during the stream, but does the selection for your fifth Rune slot not have any good ones? That's an easy trophy since you can equip it, exit the selection screen to trigger the trophy, then remove the unwanted Rune.

That is by far the best one I've seen.

Awareness level raised!

It didn't before last night, then I finally got one that I wanted. I got the trophy last night, it's not on my PSN Profiles?

EDIT: Just updated. I must not have finally got a good one til after Captain refreshed me last night.

bitch pls, i beat wash dogs and almost did every side mission too. I must have fell asleep like 10 times during my playthrough.

Who cares if Watch Dogs got a patch, Wash Dogs sounds like a billion times better of a game.

Honestly, I bet Stotch would be totally down for a pet grooming sim.

There's a word to describe how I feel that you only just now discovered that. What was it...? :whistle2:k

Ah, I remember: Discouraged.

 
I'm regards to Therms copy of Uncharted selling for $10, that's not crazy at all. Especially if it was black label, complete and great condition. There are physical collectors who are willing to pay a premium for things like that, myself included. That being said, regarding this particular example, just a few dollars extra is not a premium in my eyes or most I'd wager.

I dont think the hacking was hard at all. I literally suceeded 90% of my invasions and shut down 100% of my invaders after just a day or two learning. The game has tells to pay attention to that will lead you pretty much right on top of a hacker. The key is to use them as a defender, and stay mobile as an invader. I'm excited about the friend invasion, but bummed too. I wanted that from day one, my friends and I were talking about how we were going to fuck with each other and it wasn't even an option. They've all moved on now and I'm the only one who still boots up for some hacks.

That drinking game was definitely tedious as fuck though. I'm actually still having problems with missing song sneak songs. I have two left that require being hacked and I just abandoned it after hours upon hours of looking.

Quote of the night from Tyler's stream. I won't say who said or typed it:

"I was in PA once. It was enjoyable, but there were a lot of black people."

And now we play guess who said it! No cheaters who were there.

No one ever solved this mystery? I'm going to go with Matt, just to get the guessing going.

6.99 vs 13.49 (10.50 + 2.99 s/h).

And we're coming up on the B2G1 sales at GS. Actually they've had a couple of those in the past month already. It's just interesting how even with old games people are willing to throw their money away rather than spend carefully.

Not everyone is on CAG and knows the perceived value of used games. Probably just thinks $13 isn't that much.

Someone else had a problem for song sneak, I found some tutorials online to get songs to show up on people to hack and got it fairly quickly. And I was really meaning the randomness of being tailed 5 times... yes I was able to do hacking, but now it becomes super easy.

DAMN! I was gonna say Ken Jennings, but I wasn't sure if people around the US still knew who that was. He is Mormon so he'll always be known here in Utah.

But yeah, pharm, you look like a less twiggy Ken Jennings.

Love Jeopardy and Ken Jennings was the best. Forever in our hearts!

If you trade in a console on Amazon, do you have to trade in a controller with it to get the good/like new value?
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure you do. Not including a controller usually results in the Acceptable value.

However, you also need the original box for Good/Like New, or you'll only get Acceptable.

I played a little bit of Crimsonland on Vita while killing some time yesterday. It definitely plays well there and the barebones graphics aren't so bad at small scale. The slowness of it gets me at first, but then it actually is kind of cool. Everything is slower, so it's a bit more strategic maybe? Or something. I don't know, but it is fun. I need to get my kids to play with my on PS4. Multiplayer should be fun.

 
I was going to ask papichulo if he thought all white people looked the same but apparently he and Tyler are blind.

I do wish I were half as smart as kj. My wife and i watched him on jeopardy every day.
