PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

Hardcore campaign on Diablo completed. Way easier than I thought it was going to be. Though it probably would have been harder with less people. We ended at about level 60. Some bounty/rift grinding is necessary after. Thinking about continuing on with this character in hardcore as well. See how far I can go

Not sure if everybody's pre-orders got adjusted yesterday, but if not and you don't get the 20% off within the next 4 days then you should give them a chat.

 
I thought this was pretty funny (from the thread for next week's Target ad):

If they apply it to the Uncharted 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3 that were already discounted when they matched a Walmart glitch, score.

That would be awesome, but I kind of doubt it'll happen considering my orders show the price for each game was manually discounted (UC4 shows $43.40, KH3 shows $40.99). If they had received a separate discount (e.g., UC4 showed $59.99 - $16.59 discount), then maybe there would have been a chance, but as is, since they're both under $47.99, I don't think we'll see anything more.

We can always hope, though.

16 trophies from Captain America moved me up a whopping 2% on my PSN level. Lame.
That is what happens when they are pretty much all bronze trophies. Even all the points from a short list game gets you barely over 3%

Is the game any good? I thought about buying it for a while but never did.
It is one of the better super hero games. With that said, it is OK but not great. Mitch was right about it being a pretty easy platinum, but some of the collectibles can be a pain.

 
So, the GTA games: The cheats make it impossible to get 100% completion right?
I'm not sure about the other two, but this is from PST.org's GTA3 trophy guide thread:

Firstly, cheats do not disable trophies! However, there is one important aspect when it comes to using cheats. Using the money cheat will lower your Criminal Rating score. If you spam the money cheat and use it a considerable number of times you will not be able to raise your Criminal Rating to a score of 5,000 which is required for the Like a Boss trophy. Thus there is a chance you can miss this trophy.

My suggestion when it comes to the use of cheats is to use as many of them as you like, and as frequent as you like, except the money cheat. A list of the most useful cheats in the game can be found HERE.
 
I'm not sure about the other two, but this is from PST.org's GTA3 trophy guide thread:
Yeah my main concern is people saying they did everything in the game and ended up with 99% completion, presumably because they used a cheat. San Andreas doesn't have a 100% trophy as simmias said but the other two do.

It's fun to mess around with the cheats in these games but if it locks me out of the plat I won't bother.

Im gonna pull a Stotch here because I dont know if this is the truth or not but a lot of people just miss something on games like this when they end up with 99%. They want to blame the game cause thats easiest to do. But usually they missed something.

I agree with this in general. However, from a quick glance it appears that one of the pay phone missions does not have the correct enemies spawn so you can not complete it and you do not get to that mission until late in the game. It is needed for 100%.

 
Any particular reason you guys are talking about Captain America: Super Soldier? Just curiosity or is there a sale on it somewhere?

I can't even find it on PSN.

I think, according to the faq posted in the guide, this can only happen if starting a new game in the same save block where you have a file that you've already completed those missions in. Basically you eliminate the gang forever in those missions, and they stay gone in subsequent playthroughs unless you wipe all save files and start over.

 
tekken tag 2 is pretty good, but as far as tekken games go it's light on the single player entertainment.
I remember really liking the original Tekken Tag when I liked just dicking around in fighting games as a time waster, before I really got into gaming much.

How much do you game? You've been stuck on Rogue for a while now.
As I've said before, not much. I started Rogue on the 29th I believe and my save said I'd put in a little over 18 hours on it when I quit last night. Wouldn't have that much time with it if I hadn't started it during my time off work.

Tyler is playing it.

 
In addition to what pharm said, I also find it hilarious when you see a trophy guide video that has thousands of views and there are morons in the comments yelling about how the method in the video doesn't work because they did something wrong.
 
If you are interested in still getting Captain America, looks like Hastings sells it used for 14.99. Keep an eye out for their periodic 30-40% off used games promotions.

Best recommendation I can give is to go through and add things to your wishlist ahead of time so that each time a sale starts you can quickly go to your wish list to see if the things you want are in stock.

Stuck with Destiny in my trophy card because I was dumb enough to launch it. The last game I played was Need for Speed Rivals last night, so not sure why Destiny ends up in front of it when I launched it the day before. PSN is so dumb sometimes.

It changes whenever you get a trophy, so creating a new trophy set is like Trophy #0.
