Super Street Fighter IV

In Capcom's tradition of releasing a million versions of each Street Fighter game, we have the first sequel to Street Fighter IV: Super Street Fighter IV. Released a year after its predecessor, the game was originally meant to be a DLC to the original. However, due to its size, the title became a stand-alone game.

While still possessing the same four modes from the original (Arcade, Versus, Trials, and Training), Super has added "Team Battles" to its online features, as well as "Endless Battle" which pits a champion against eight other players, as well as 10 extra characters in addition to the original 25.

Most online game reviewers praised Super Street Fighter IV with an average rating of 92%, most comments matching similar praises to its predecessor.

If you've played the previous Street Fighter IV, than you have a good idea of what's involved to acquire the Platinum. There aren't too many games in our database with 5-star ratings, so it gives you some idea how difficult the Street Fighter series can be when both the regular and Super versions are graded with the highest difficulty score.

If you ever happen to see someone with both Platinums, you know they're hardcore.

Since Super Street Fighter IV has more characters than its predecessor, that means you'll need to clear Arcade Mode 10 more times - on at least Medium. Setting the rounds to 1 will make things quicker.

You will have to win at least once on Hardest difficulty for the Long Time No See trophy. Also, keep in mind you'll need to complete each round in 20 minutes for the Speed Freak trophy.

the Trial trophies - in particular, Trial Athlete - are the most difficult and time-consuming, in which you must complete all 24 challenges with each of the 35 characters. You can check out some Youtube links we've posted under the Links tab for help with this.

Lastly, you have all the online trophies to deal with. A boosting buddy can help with many of these (see the forums under our Links tab) though you'll still need to win 10 ranked matches in a row for the Tenpeat trophy. This is possible to boost, though you'll need to continuously find each other for each match.

Good luck!

Lost Planet 2 Trophy Guide

Lost Planet 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *****  A third-person action shooter, taking place on a dangerous planet that’s ecologically unstable. Four full playthroughs are required for the Platinum, as well as hours of grinding online.

Lost Planet 2

Lost Planet 2 is a third-person action shooter, and a sequel to the 2007 Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. Players battle against creatures on an alien terrain, with the ability to pilot mechanized armor suits. The game includes both online co-op and versus modes.

Ten years following the events of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, the snow has melted on EDN III revealing deserts and jungles. The story shifts between a group of mercenaries, NEVEC's Black Ops, and Waysider snow pirates, who soon learn both the dangerous and ecological instability of EDN III.

Lost Planet 2 received mixed reviews, with an average score of 69%, praised for its multiplayer feature and graphics, but criticized for a number of design flaws.

Yes, a 5-star difficulty rating, as the platinum for this game is quite ridiculous. The one of the most challenging trophies will be the Good Job Soldier, and A Collector's Collector, which require completing a vast number of specific feats, one of which includes getting a #1 world record score from a list of training missions, which of course is getting more difficult over time as players continue to raise the bar.

On top of all this, there are 6 online trophies which require hours of grinding. Plus, you'll need 4 playthroughs of the campaign, each for the four difficulty modes.

Expect around 300 hours or more on this puppy.

We recommend starting with the campaign which will not only give you a feel for the game, but assist in building your list of weapons and abilities that will help you later online. If you're starting your campaign on either Easy or Normal, we recommend hosting a game with three private slots, other cannot join. This will earn you the Me Against The World trophy. For the harder difficulty modes, you'll want to reset your game to allow players to join you. Not only will this make the game easier, but will help work towards the Two Is Better Than One trophy.

You'll need to play the campaign at least four times, one for each of the four difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extreme. During your playthroughs, you'll want to keep an eye on the list of Good Job awards and what you need to unlock them. For a full list, check out our Links tab.

After you've completed your four campaigns, hop into multiplayer and start working on those online trophies. Playing team matches is an easier way to collect wins, of which you'll need 100 for the Centurion trophy. Again, like in your campaign, check out and work towards the requirements for the Noms de Guerre feats.

Finally, you'll embark on the most tiresome aspect of the game, which is grinding for the remaining Good Job and Noms de Guerre awards. Visit the guides and lists under our Links tab for further assistance.

Good luck. This is not an easy Platinum, but certainly one to be proud of.

Street Fighter IV Trophy Guide

Street Fighter IV Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *****  A 2D fighting game and part of the Street Fighter series that began in the arcade in 1987. Even with boosting, the Platinum is still challenging and incredibly time consuming.

Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter is perhaps one of the most popular and successful fighting games in the world, both on arcade and multiple consoles, dating as far back as 1987. The games have spawned several versions to each series (the reason why, after 25 years, the PS3's title is only IV) and even several films.

Street Fighter IV includes all the familiar characters, as well as 4 new ones and 2 secret characters, making a grand total of 25 possible player characters.

The game received exceptionally high ratings, with an average score of 96% for its great graphics, smooth gameplay, and a well-balance of the familiar with the new.

Street Fighter IV is as long and difficult as a fighting came can get. Even the professionals will be playing until they've grown a white beard before gaining the Platinum. Unlocking all the icons and titles should be a platinum in itself - and those are only worth two trophies!

Boosting will certainly make the online trophies easier, which would bring this difficulty rating down to 4-stars. But while winning 10 ranked matches in a row may seem daunting, this is far easier and less time consuming than the trials or individual online challenges just to collect icons and titles.

Expect to be playing this game for a long time.

We recommend starting with the Arcade Mode, getting familiar with the characters while unlocking others. Some of these characters can only be unlocked by successfully beating the Arcade mode with a specific character. To find this out, check out the Street Fighter IV trophy guide links under our Links tab.

Once all that's finished, and your skills are improving, you can start on the Challenge Mode. There are 100 challenges in total, and simply clearing them grants you the Challenge Expert trophy. But if you're gunning for the Platinum, you'll need The Gold Standard trophy, which means getting gold medals for all 100 challenges. This is one of the more difficult trophies in the game - some of these challenges are not easy!

Finally, once you've gotten all the offline trophies, it's time to get online and kick some butt. There are several trophies here which you can boost, so check out the boosting forums we've posted under our Links tab. But Playing To Win! means winning 10 ranked matches in a row. It is possible to boost this, though you will need to consistently "find" your partner under ranked matches, play and win, then repeat the search. Given the game's age, and considering there's a new version out there, not as many people are playing online, which means finding your boosting partner for a ranked match isn't too difficult.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds Trophy Guide

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An arcade-style fighting game and a cross-over with Capcom’s Street Fighter and Marvel superhero characters. The Platinum requires both skills and grinding, while the online trophies are challenging without boosting.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds *** 47 Capcom Japan 33 11 2 12 0

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is an arcade-style fighting game, and a crossover with Capcom's Street Fighter and Marvel superhero characters. The game is the fifth installment in the Marvel vs Capcom series, and the first to use three-dimensional characters rather than sprites. Players select teams of three characters to battle in tag team gameplay, with the ability to call on off-screen characters to perform single moves in an "assist." The controls have been simplified from its predecessor, using a three-button control scheme rather than four.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds received positive reviews with an average score of 85%, praised for its selection of characters, gameplay, and the game's new simplified combat mechanics.

Compared to other fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is certainly easier and less time consuming than Street Fighter IV, but more challenging than the Tekken titles. On top of the skills required for unlocking the offline trophies, and the long grind, there are 12 online trophies which, done legitimately, brings this difficulty score to a high 3-star. With a boosting partner, this could be a low 3-star difficulty, as the offline still adds quite a challenge and some time.

Expect roughly 30 hours of game time for the Platinum for experienced players with boosting partners, and far more for those without.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds doesn't require much of a roadmap, as you can work on the trophies in any order. The only thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to rack up PP in order to unlock all the characters, which are necessary to earn some of the trophies.

Also, it should be noted that most of the trophies, unless stated otherwise, can be earned on Very Easy mode.

If you're looking for a place to start playing and get used to the game, you can head into Challenge mode. Here, you can get used to the characters and their moves.

But if you prefer to just jump into the action, you can start working through Arcade mode. You'll need to complete Arcade mode with every character for the Waiting For The Trade trophy. Along the way, you will be earning PP and unlocking a number of other trophies naturally.

Whenever you feel your skills are adequate enough, you can head into online, where another 12 trophies await to being unlocked. Some of these are very challenging, depending on your skills. If you're looking for a boosting partner to make these easier, check out the forums under our Links tab.

Devil May Cry 3 Trophy Guide

Devil May Cry 3 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An action hack-and-slash originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. The Platinum is arguably easier than the original DMC, though more time consuming.

Devil May Cry 3 HD

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is an action hack-and-slash, first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, and was revamped in HD with trophy support as part of the Devil May Cry Collection in 2012, which also included the two prequels. The player fights numerous enemies in stylish combat using a variety of combos, with each mission granting a letter grade based on the player's performance.

Taking place before the events of the first Devil May Cry title, Dante has just set up his demon-hunting agency. During a dysfunctional relationship with his brother Virgil, he is challenged to fight his way up the Temen-ni-gru Tower and face his sibling, attempting to stop him from merging the human and demon worlds together.

Devil May Cry 3 received positive reviews, with an average score of 90%. It was praised for having returned to the style of the original DMC title, as well as its great storyline and added customization features.

Considered more difficult than the second game, but arguably as challenging as the first in the series. The boss battles are somewhat easier than the original DMC, but where the game makes up for challenge is time consumption, as you will probably need at least six or seven playthroughs for the platinum.

Overall, expect about 40 or more hours on this puppy.

If you're new to the Devil May Cry series and wish to start on Easy mode, this is possible by dying three times on Normal. Otherwise, to save time, we recommend just playing through on Normal from beginning to end. During this first of many playthroughs, try to complete all the Secret Missions along the way, and find all the Blue Orb Fragments, by using one of the collectible guides under our Links tab. Also, for The Path Less Traveled trophy, you will need to clear every mission in Yellow Orb mode. If you don't wish to do this on the more difficult modes later, nor do you wish to add another playthrough to your trophy hunting, you can do this on Normal and get it out of the way.

Once that's finished, you will need to play four more times. Yes, that's right. Once on Hard, then Very Hard, then Dante Must Die, and finally Heaven Or Hell mode, in order to earn each of the four respected trophies.

Finally, you will need to playthrough using Yellow Orbs as Virgil. The good news is, you can do this run on Easy mode. And after having finished the more difficult settings, this should feel like a cakewalk in comparison.

With all those playthroughs finished, there is the Bloody Palace mode to complete, which is a survival mode. This will unlock three more trophies: Blood Sweat And Tears, Blood Donor, and Bloody Hell.

Hopefully, you will have unlocked the Platinum at this point. If not, just use the Mission Select to mop-up anything you're missing.
