WAIT WHA!!

I know that surrounding Seattle locations but have never been to yakima. (although i used to drink a beer proudly crafted with yakima valley hops)
I live in the Vancouver metro area, which is nestled up to the mighty columbia river. Southwest washington region.

Im crying tears of joy. usually when i tell someone i am from washington, they think of that upstart washington d.c.

Where abouts Red?

I tried playing R3 online today for the first time in 4 weeks. It still put me into empty lobbies. Then it put me into a game in which my abilities couldn't be activated and kills and deaths didn't register. After quitting that one it did it again only this time it froze my PS3 when I tried to quit. And this after FIVE patches? It is very disappointing and makes you wonder if the game is fundamentally and irredeemably broken. And people get surprised when you tell 'em you're not prepared to shell out more money for the DLC.

according to the people on the IG site (which im sure youve seen) the game is just teeming with people. or is that the usual exaggeration?

Exaggeration. However, it was 2pm my time which is 9am on the east coast of the USA. But when you repeatedly do a search and it keeps putting you in a lobby with the same people you know there aren't THAT many people playing.

Maybe they meant teams of people

After 1 day I have 58% of this game's trophies

A helpful hint. Save your points for the Unlock all weapons, and then the infinite ammo cheats. You can use these for all trophies except for your brutal play through. Makes killing a stalker in 60 seconds a piece of cake when you have a wild fire with unlimited ammo

Awww...i just put the game on very easy and used the regular weapons.....doing that would have been soooo much easier

Oh yeah, I forgot that part... All Weapons + Max Ammo + Easy = all trophies owned. Again, do NOT use any cheats on the brutal play through or you won't get the trophy. All upgrades attained during the other playthroughs stay though.

Also, to help with the super human playthrough, in places like the pit - Level 3 Mutator secondary fire + Level 3 Marksman secondary fire = survive anything the game can throw at you (bosses excluded).

Just did the part on Superhuman where you have to have to take out 3 stalkers. Ouch! Also, that part of NY where you have to defend the Chimeran base against three assault waves. I found that REALLY tough on Superhuman. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah superhuman definitely was a good challenge. As always the deaths were annoying but the completion felt oh soo good.

I've just been playing from Graterford onwards on Easy with Infinite Ammo and All Weapons. Gotta say, that was super fun too.

I am at 81% in trophies now , just started chapter 16 in my superhuman playthrough , TBH I have yet to be challenged a whole lot , no more than 2-3 deaths on the harder checkpoints and that fully upgraded rossmore is a beast in close quarters , 1 shot kills to normal chimera and the secondary demolishes the larger groups . Only got 2 more weapons to fully upgrade and they are very close to level 3 right now . Found all journals and have 2 bronze trophies to go . Will have this platinumed tomorrow methinks . However some of those last gunfights (especially that one where you take on 3 stalkers) , will be extra tough on superhuman I bet a challenge is coming I feel .

Im too scared to play this on superhuman because of the goddamn grims..
Hate those a-holes.

yeh they pissed me off to know end but the secondary fire on the Atomizer does a great job when you face a crowd of grims

new york will be tougher.
upgraded cryogun is good against grims along with the shotty and magnum too

New York was really tough in the first stages. The part where you defend the base took me about 10 goes, and the Widowmaker take-down (the one after the tunnels) took a long time. The part where you emerge from the tailgate of the crashed plane and have to advance up through the broken buildings was tricky; the key is to just keep advancing -- don't stop to take every enemy out, just press on blasting away. Then the part with the snipers where you have to take down the two shield generator bases was problematic. Then you get to the 3-Stalker take down which was really tough. After that, once you're in the Terraformer it's pretty straightforward. Make good use of the Mutator and Marksman secondaries and the Wildfire and what look like huge set pieces become quite easy.

I have to say, I am really enjoying the replay value of the campaign. On that note, can anybody point me to the prisoner you need to kill for the trophy? I couldn't find him.

"In Chapter 16 (Prison/The Hole), when you are in the flooded sewers under the prison, just before you reach the ladder leading out of the water, look for a small hallway that terminates in a collapsed dead end. In the rubble is a jack-in-the-box with an eye patch. Shoot it to get the trophy." - source [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

pretty misleading trophy title. i chanced upon "jack" and shot him for the heck of it, and a trophy popped up. was expecting some disheveled prisoner in a cell.

Ah, thanks. Is that the first ladder that you climb up? I pretty much ignored the Pit and tried looking in all the prison cells for someone called Jack.

BTW, the Bloody Hell cheat is not very good. I expected flying body parts, but all it does is turn enemies into a spray of liquid. It's actually more gory with it switched off.

with the final fight, ingnore the enemies and concentrate on blowing up the rods. if youre quick about it you can usually take them all out before being over run.

eat: when you start crawling through the sewers make sure to hug the left wall; you will eventually come to an alternate path leading to a dead end. look at the pile of rubble and you will see a little jack-in-the-box with an eye patch, shoot it

Thanks for that Mick.

I thought the bad prison guard/prisoner guy was called Jack so thought I'd get that one for killing him, but obviously didn't.

Couldn't find the car pool in that level either so massive fail for me.

yeah, its in the pit. after you run under the guards talking about how you will die down there and after you walk across sewer or steam pipes.

found a vid for you to pin point it. its rediculously small and easy to walk past if you do not see it at the right angle.

Spoiler:

beat me to the video link!!!!

I discovered yesterday that you can take out the small rods with a hedgehog. I was standing next to the first one and saw a Chimeran by the farther one, so I threw a hedgie at him and it took out the rod too.

Thanks for the help, guys.

i dont even remember getting the one eyed jack trophy? or the santa one. i did them my first PT obviously cause i didnt have specifically look them up.

the most fun about this game is the all weapon cheat with unlimited ammo. sledgehammer and wildfire ALL the things

The Bouncer trophy is really easy with infinite ammo and all weapons. Spam the Chimeran approach with hedgehogs. Then when they appear pump in a few Mutator secondaries, and then finish off with Wildfire secondaries. Rinse and repeat on the next wave that approaches from the south. I don't think one enemy got within 50 feet of the pub doors. Also, the Brawler that you need to beat in 60 seconds (same level) goes down in about 15 seconds if you just spam the Wildfire at him. Love it.
