Marv2K11 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Like the many of you, I am a Trophy Hunter - I like hunting trophies. But I am a gamer first and foremost, and the experience some games provide are overwhelming and downright awesome (as in, awe inspiring). The Mass Effect series falls into that category, and I have no doubt that ME3 will be the same. It hurt my inner gamer-soul when I would read about how some people would cheat the system in ME2 and would follow a Trophy Guide to save all their teammates for some trophies for their first playthrough. Personally, had I used a trophy guide, the experience would simply not have been the same. I haven't even looked at the Trophy List for this game (avoiding a lot regarding this game), but assuming we have one of those "must choose a specific path" trophy (or trophies), will you guys use a Trophy Guide through your first play through? No way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldWombat Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Maybe I've platinumed, and got 1000GS, on all the ME games without having to look at a trophy guide. Only way I will look at one is after 2 playthrus I have no clue how to get something I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 no and yes. I will get misc trophies out the way on my first playthrough, but I won't read the entire guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 no and yes. I will get misc trophies out the way on my first playthrough, but I won't read the entire guide. This^ For most of the game I won't bother as the trophies sound pretty straight-forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemegeton300 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 what would be the point. trophy guides should be used for reference when you are stuck. i dont understand people who use them from the moment they install the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't understand people who use them from the moment they install the game It depends on the game, If you have something Like Star Ocean then playing without the guide will add many, many un-necessary hours and fustrating hours to your playtime.

T_l_M_B_0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I won't read a guide or anything at all during my first playthrough. That will be 100% blind. My second playthrough on Insanity, I will use one incase I missed anything on my first playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe111eleven111 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't plan on using a guide. All the trophies look fairly simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1mug Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 no i rarely use guides as i believe in exploring the game and trying to earn everything from my own struggles and frustrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfheart Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I probably will on my second play, I'll do as much as I can and explore as much as I can in my first play, and then when I clean up on other plays it will be good to see if there's any exploits like mass effect 2's paragon glitch, but I don't want to risk any spoilers by reading a guide before playing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 For me, it will depend on two things: 1. Are there missable trophies for your first playthrough? 2. Are there trophies that have a chance to glitch out on us? If any of these questions has "yes" as an answer, I will most likely check out a trophy guide to learn more about what's going on, what's missable and what's glitched. If not, I'll play the game "in the dark". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makai Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I wont on my first run, but i will check for missables or glitched trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikcat Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 There isn't a guide yet for ME3.. so most of us on here buying game day one won't be using one I used a guide for the suicide run. Simply because I am the kind of person that would have kept replaying it over and over until I saved everyone which is annoying. So the guide didn't change the outcome just prevented me from possibly having to play the last part of the game several times (esp on higher difficulty).

Charlyposho Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I will do as always. First playthrough with no guide. Just to enjoy the game. I'll check the trophy list just to know if there is something I can do along the way, but other than that, just a normal playthrough. The 2nd run will be my Insane Run, and in here I'll memorize every single guide I can to get the platinum, and no reaper shall stand in my way.

Pichsterz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 No, I won't be looking at a guide. After looking at the trophies list, It look pretty simple and straight forward. Even if their are missable trophies, it wouldn't bothered me since I will be replaying it 4-5 time. Honestly, I'm not even going to bother about the trophies, I just want to enjoy and play the game.

Rawanz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The joy of RPGs are to explore, complete everything and try everything. So no, wont be using a guide at all. Trial and error is the only way to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSD Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well I get the game tomorrow so I doubt there will be a trophy guide ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesthegr8 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ive also maxed out all mass effect game w/o a guide, why start now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty V Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I will most likely play this on 360 first, and I don't care about Achievements so I'll play through for fun, then read a guide for trophies on PS3 if need be. That said I guess I'll vote a 'maybe.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenzerian Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have to say, I do love my trophies, but I will not be using a guide for this game...at least not on the first play-through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusmel Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 No, I won't be using the trophy guide now as I would want to enjoy the game at my own pace. After all that waiting, no point rushing thru the game destroying the game experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frejim Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I won't read a guide or anything at all during my first playthrough. That will be 100% blind.

HaoleDave Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Not sure... most likely not. I won't wait for one to come out to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
