Month 3/Week13 - Platinum #20

Sorry for the late blogs. Last week I really didn't feel I had anything to blog about, cause I've been working on the same games and slowly progressing through them. Due to being the last week of March and yet to accomplish a platinum I had to kick it into gear and get the last three trophies in MvC3 to platinum. This past week that's all I played, and it wasn't easy. Especially the when 5 ranked matches in a row, but I found a few tricks that you can use to help if you were struggling like me. Before I get to that I also needed a few more trophies, which weren't has hard, but also took some time to get. It was the get a group of 8, and become a 1st lord or beat somebody who has.

First lets start of on how to accomplish the easier trophies in MvC3. Most of them you can obtain on the way through the game. If you have a friend you can get 7 trophies in just 2 games. Pick Ryu, Wesker, and whoever... then have your friend pick Akuma, Wolverine, and Chris. This will give you Brave New World, Fate of Two Worlds, Racoon City Incident, and Fate of Satsui no hadau. Next make a team of spider-man, Captain America and whoever... then have your friend make a team of taskmaster, MODOK, and Iron Man. After the match this will give you Whose Side Are You On?, Duty and Dues Ex Machina, and Copy This!. Now you can get Full Roster over time or having your friend pick one of every character he has.

Next you have to go through story mode with every person, this will get you a lot of trophies during the process as well, just make sure you use all female flyers together once (Pheonix, Storm, and Morrigan), then use all the dark stalker characters (Felicia, Morrigan, and Hsien Ko), then weapon X team (Deadpool, Wolverine, and X-23), and last the people who altered there bodies (Spencer, MODOK, and Iron Man). Each one of these gets a trophy. To beat the story mode with every character means that character has too save the world by killing Galactus. Also don't forget you must lose to Galactus as well and not continue to unlock his story as well. This may seem hard and take a long time, but if you go with the settings very easy, 99 seconds, and Highest damage this should take maybe 10 minutes per Story. It also makes it easier to obtain the saving my quarters trophy. Also work on some of the battle trophies in the arcade mode such as the "do x move x times". This would also be the perfect opportunity to go through very hard mode. This can be hard for some people, but I hear picking a team like (magneto, Sentinel, Iron Man) assists with all their beams and spamming assists as well as you in game characters beam can make this easier.

After this you can do missions or online - I did mission before everything to learn combos you can do that as well, but I don't think it helped me I just forgot everyones combos. If you don't have Jill or Shuma then you only need to get 320 mission instead of 360 giving you the ability to skip 40 missions. For me Marvel were the easiest (minus MODOK) to get missions completed from. I did everyone's in capcom except for the last 3 people and only 7 of Amaterasu's because hers were redonkulous! Here is a link talking about mission to avoid for you 40 check it out and hopefully it helps (Link)! Remember you still need to do at least 1 of everyones to unlock the Comic Collector trophy.

For the online trophies which were the hardest for me. The easiest ones to get were the form an 8 party one and become or beat a (former)1st lord. To get the 8 party one just go into search for lobby, and select any, any, any. Look through the lobbies to see if you see a group of 6 or 7 and hop in hang out until someone else comes in (if hopped in a 6 group lobby). If there are no 6 or 7 people group lobbies back out and refresh your search, eventually you will find one. Next to become or beat a (former) 1st lord. Go into ranked online matches and select any, any, any this will up your chance of playing anybody in the world which is were the top players are so play a few games (I think it took me 3 games to come up against a master lord, which is passed first lord I believe). Now for me my biggest problem was win 5 ranked matches on-line, I wasn't any good at least not good enough for the people they set me up against. Once I hit 3rd rank (Fighter) it seemed like I kept facing people 6th rank and down. There's two tricks to this, you can go to your saved data file and delete your online saved data (this will lower your rank to beginner again) and you can face people until you get it. If you rank up to much just rinse and repeat. The next trick takes a little work, Find someone who will boost it with you. There's plenty of forums to find this, and once you have someone to do this with you just take the following steps.

1. Both people go to arcade mode and select your team
2. Make sure both of you select these settings, you turn on accept ranked matches and pick the following Same (if both live in USA), agreed upon language (make sure not to select "any" narrow the search down by picking french, spanish, or anything else), and same (if within same rank) any (if different ranked).
3. start arcade mode and you match should be interrupted to fight the person you are boosting with. If that does not happen choose a new language in step 2.

I found these tips to be the most help when completing this platinum. Now like I have been trying to do for weeks now "I MUST COMPLETE EXTRACTION!!!!" it being on my mind is just wearing me out. Every time I pick up the controller I'm thinking I need to play extraction and don't want to so I put the controller down. I need to face it, and 100% guaranteed that will be my next platinum for the month of April! I will be going through it to beat it on impossible while getting every weapon upgrades. Then just need to do the challenges, should be done in a max of 2 weeks. I'm setting my goal to beat impossible this week. I have yet to start on it, but I have Thursday & Friday off + I go into work later than usual on the other days.

I also starting school again, and this time I have enough money and a car to be comfortable enough to make it through this quarter :P

That's it for this week Thanks for reading my blog hope this helps people make it through their platinum, and I will catch you next week on how my Extraction gameplay is going. Sorry I haven't recorded and shown any videos in a while I was hoping to get some MvC3 games in just never happened. My next recording probably won't be until my hardest difficulty run through in Mass Effect 2. Again thanks for reading :P
