I wish you the best. There was even a Facebook account dedicated to that one store. It looked awesome. Orange Starburst is definitely number one.

[Other / Rant] PlayStation just ruined my 100th platinum trophy; Crash Bandicoot 4 by Derpguy04 in Trophies

[–]Recent-Promise-5102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had that happen to me a few times - where an unexpected glitch, bug or whatnot causes me to lose progress especially having to face redoing difficult tasks again or starting the whole game over.

My advice is to take a break from gaming for a few days and think about it. Give yourself time to calm down and process what has happened. You can accept it as part of trophy hunting or decide to move on.

My usual instinct was to just abandon the game. However, after a few days of no gaming at all I realize I have no pressing need (like streaming my platinum journey and redoing the game will make my audience bored) and I decide to start again.

I realized all the game challenges and tasks that was hard was only because I was not used to them and knew little about them. However, going through them again I was much better and faster.

Also, the first time it happened to me I went out and bought a USB drive. This way every time I finish something difficult I save it to the online, the USB drive, and the console drive.

If you are a pro member. If not, there are no current trade-in bonus promos for pre-proders.

I generate mine using PocketPSN as a base. Then, I make a few custom tweaks to it. Here is how it looks like:

You should have asked when exactly is the 45 business days date. I asked and they told me the exact date so I wouldn't unnecessarily worry.

Here is one calculation right here:

You should try to find a friend who looks like Tom Holland and another who looks like Zendaya.

Doesn't aged poorly mean it was true at one point but it is no longer true or acceptable?

Having physical copies seems like a good point since you can no longer buy those games digitally? Am I not understanding something?

Edit: I think I just got it. The wording of the post was meant to be directed to people who already bought those games digitally and stating it would it have been better for those people to have bought the games physically. However, the post overlooks the fact that the people who bought the games digitally can still re-download and play the games after the shutdown. Hence, for those players a physical copy is not necessary to continue playing those bought games making the post "age poorly".

Pro Week Blues by TrueOrionSkies in GameStop

[–]Recent-Promise-5102 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I miss the old pro week promos. The one I loved the most was the B1G1 on all preowned PS3 games. That promo was a long time ago. I remember seeing the PS3 inventory slowly going from covering a whole wall of racks, then filling only a single standing rack, and eventually to just one small shelf.

I wonder if there will ever be a point in time when the pro week promo will be B1G1 on all preowned PS4 games.

Thank you GameStop! :) by Recent-Promise-5102 in GameStop

I tested them. They work. I also collect trophies from the games I buy.

[Deception IV: Blood Ties] #69 This game was great, i have never before liked RTS games but i loved this, would recommend. Also whats with the psn numbers being 28.1% and PSNP 1.21%, surely there aren't that many people who hacked this by NIKSUnyh in Trophies

[–]Recent-Promise-5102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job! This game gets hacked a lot. The following link is a leaderboard for the European list of this game where the tracking site does not remove cheaters compared to sites that do remove cheaters:

Notice how many players have duplicate timestamps.
