PS3 version: trophy collection

[dinge]

I don't own a PS3 yet but I'll buy one together with Mafia II. I want to complete the game on both PC and PS3 so I wonder about the trophies. For one thing, I hope there wont be any hidden trophies on the game (trophies with a question mark, so you don't know what to do to unlock it) it's just silly. People post it on the web anyway so it's just a waste of time in my opinion. Secondly, I hope there's a place in the game where the progress of each trophy can be viewed. It's just easier and helps a lot. And at last I hope the game will keep a list of statistics, you know, just for fun (hasn't got anything to do with the trophies). So you can see how many gangsters you wacked, how many innocent people etc. etc.. What do you think? I know you can't really participate if you don't own or won't buy a PS3 for Mafia II but it's not my fault there aren't trophies on other platforms lol.

I think those are all good ideas. I agree that its silly when they hide the requirements to get certain trophies. I'm not going to do a bunch of random things until I magically get a hidden trophy haha. A tally would be nice as well so that you can see where you are in terms of completing them instead of having to keep a mental note or writing stats down.

As for stats on how many NPC's you've killed (gangster or otherwise), I think its a good idea, I'm just afraid that some people might point out the similar trait in other sandbox games and cry "copy." But yeah, I always liked seeing personal stats on my gameplay for some reason.

I only own a PS3 and PC. I preordered the PS3 version. I agree that they should not have any hidden trophies or whatever, as it is slightly pointless. I don't see why they wouldn't have some stat tracker in the game considering most sandbox games have some means of doing so. As far as no trophies I am pretty sure that Xbox has some equivalent to trophies. Unfortunately I only owned one for a short time thus I am not sure as to what exactly to call these. If someone who owns an Xbox can provide their input it would be great.

Great thread Dinge.

Thanks for the kind response, I know people will complain about the similarity, there's nothing to do about that. I mean everything comes from somewhere, there are people complaining about everything. I think a good idea is there to be used and not to be ignore because another game has it as well. Next thing you know people complain about cars: "What, your car has got wheels? You stole that idea from my bike, what a rip off, it's a total bike copy!". Just trying to point out how stupid all this comparing is lol.
What if Mafia II would only include useful stats, not like "Distance walked" etc.. I'd like to see more stats like accuracy (I'm a big fan of accuracy), headshots, vehicles wrecked by driving/shooting, game progress (obviously) and so on...

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I know stats are ordinary but I think it's fun (explained above). I had no idea of the X-Box equivalent, you're right, it would be nice to have some X-Box input over here.

Hahahahaha I have to say that your wheel reference made me laugh xD. But yeah, I think that stats like those would be cool. They could have counters for quite a few different things. I always thought the distance driven and such were always interesting. And its good for people who want to calculate the size of the map. I'm not sure what other interesting stats they could put down besides the ones you mentioned. How many clothes you own or how many meals you've eaten?

dont know why but I just can't be bothered with PS3 trophies, did get quite a lot for Uncharted 2 but collecting them just seemed to drag on, which is true of many PS3 games imo.

I do normally try to get achievements for 360, I like the fact you have the same target of 1000 (mostly) to aim for, the MS system just seems to be better implemented in games imo, not that I'm biased to one system or the other..

I basically just do a playthrough of the game and see how many trophies I've gotten along its course. If its a high number and I'm almost close to getting them all, then I spend a little extra time getting the rest (Note: this is RARELY the case haha). But, for the most part, I don't worry about achievements.

Well for me (note that I don't own a console yet) trophies are more or less something to do after completion. I've completed quite some games at a friend's house, currently I'm trying to get all MotorStorm Pacifc Rift trophies. We completed the game and had about 51% of the trophies so to obtain another 49%, it shouldn't be too much work. But trophies are more for people who have a lot of time, I don't really have too much spare time but if you only own a couple of games, trophies might give you something to do until you're totally sick of the game. First thing to make the trophy system better in my opinion is to lose those stupid trophies, there are just way too many useless trophies... The hidden ones should also go, but I guess nothing is perfect.

No offence, I like you but this isn't contributing it's childish behaviour and I hope you were kidding because I didn't expect this from you...

I agree -- this "your console sucks" talk around here is really very childish, I game on the Xbox and PS3 as well.

[Kanea7x]

I still like the 360 and i have the PS3 too

[Don_Vito]

I want a PS3 but aint got the money right now

[packardcaribien]

Ah jeez, I just have a 360 because it was $ 200 cheaper. I don't have Live or even a HD so I just use it to play single player games i couldn't play on my PC, which is getting to be almost everything nowadays - god I want to play the Sims 3 but I'd need a new computer - or at least a new video card (you see I have Pixel shader 1.4 but it "needs" 2.0, that's all)

save up for it bud because there are tons of cool games for the ps3.

[sanpreet]

[Habbuba]
