The Evil Within feels totally different on Casual NG+ since I can kill pretty much everything without breaking a sweat. I just finished Ch. 8 for my collectibles playthrough.

I think I have hit a brick wall on the Evil Within. I am doing a no upgrade run on survival, but I can't get past the first section in chapter 8. Any tips?

Lure the first four enemies (including the one playing dead in front of the wood barricade) over to the very back of the section where you start the chapter (behind your starting point), run past them further in, then lure the two enemies in there back outside to where you lured the first four (hurry so those first four don't enter the hallway and block your exit) and run back so you can operate the crank and open the gate, all while avoiding every enemy's instant-death tentacle-y attack.

While you're at it, you might as well finish the rest of the chapter without firing a single weapon (including the Crossbow) to get the Item Management trophy since the chapter itself is quite short and the beginning is the hardest part. Just run past any other enemies you come across (there are smaller guys that die when you step on them, so they're not really an issue) and you should be fine.

Just finished up Korra. Lucked out and only needed to get a little into chapter 2 with a new game before the Jill of all Trades missable trophy triggered.

That one's easy, once you figure out just to hide in the corner when she shoots out the three webs.
 
I don't think I'll ever understand why somebody would write a guide/faq that tracks different sets of missables separately. In other words, for Dante's Inferno for example, you have three things you need to collect; Beatrice Stones, Relics, and Silver Pieces. Each collectible is in a static location as you progress through the game. Why do people write guides with the three sets separated out, rather than having a story-progression version like this?

Chapter 1:

  Beatrice Stone 01: This location

  Relic 01: This location

  Relic 02: This location

  Beatrice Stone 01: This location

Chapter 2:

  Etc.

This lets you easily track the collectibles as you progress through the story. Instead people write guides like this:

Beatrice Stones

 01: This location

 02: This location

Silver Pieces

 01: This location

 02: This location

etc. This approach means you have to keep switching back and forth trying to keep up with the different lists and where you are on each one. It makes it a lot easier to miss something, which makes the guide much less useful.

A few of you have written guides. Any thoughts on why people write them this way? If there's a reason for it, I'm not seeing what it is.  :whistle2:k

 
Therm, I've only written one collectible guide and I actually did it both ways. Out everything in order the way it comes up as you play the game, with color coding to identify what type of item it was. Then in a separate section, I sorted it by item type. Some people do like the second way, because they may not play through a game with a guide and could get lucky in grabbing all of a certain collectible. Then they don't want to have to sort through the other stuff to find the items they're missing.

Seperate lists makes sense to me when they're not missible, but for something like Dante's Inferno (and quite a few other games) where there is no level select option to let you go back and grab stuff you missed, having separate lists serves no purpose that I can see. DI has four separate lists of collectible missible items. That's a lot of opportunity to miss something in the back-and-forth.

 
[quote name="Derextreme" post="12185181" timestamp="1414333820"]here ya go, therm. idk which guide you're using, but this one looks like what you're wanting. http://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206338

for multi platform games, i'll usually check both sites, then go for the best one if i decide to use it. the xbox site seems to have a higher standard for guides, and a lot more activity in general.[/quote]
That's the one I used.

Nice! That's super helpful. I'd actually started just copy/pasting missables into notepad based on story progression for the same kind of list. This'll save me quite a bit of effort. This is exactly what I'd expect a decent missables guide to look like.

Gamespot is playing the remastered GTA: San Andreas. It doesn't look like it aged that great, but still looks fun as hell. Hopefully it comes to PSN, or else I'll be forced to turn on my 360 again. It looks like it's only $3.74 on the Xbox store.

No problem cleaner gurl. Your real cool :)

 
Speaking of collectables, I got the fortune cookie/cookie monster trophy in Shadow Warrior.  I hadnt found a guide for it but on my second playthrough after collecting a few it popped.  Now I read that on PC people seemed to get it on the second playthrough after collecting a certain amount.  apparently they are random and you just need to keep collecting as you go.  Anyway, I am playing through a second time on easy to find the last few secrets and the rest of the misc trophies.  I wasnt going to bother with heroic and I still wont yet anyway but now I may pick this back up later when its super cheap.  Depending on what I read about heroic difficulty later.

 
Also all 5 of my rarest trophies are from Shadow Warrior now.  I know that wont last as people play but still cool to see.  I am also half way to the Demolition Man trophy.  I have never been nor probably never will be first to get a trophy again.  I gotta try for this.
