    I like checking the rarity of my trophies.
    Watching the dropoff can be heartbreaking.

    I don't understand rarity at all. I assume it's the percentage of players who earned that trophy? Well there are games out there that will give you an unavoidable trophy not 2 minutes into the opening cinematic. Yet the rarity is 96%.

    Who the hell are these 4% that aren't earning this trophy?!

    Dunno if this email is an EU thing or not, but either way, the email address I use for PSN (my Hotmail, which is my "registrations and spam" email) has real difficulty accepting emails from Sony, so I'll never see it. I don't get weekly store updates, I didn't get that cool end-of-the-year email summarizing hours played... total bummer. Doesn't go to my spam folder, it just... doesn't come in. That's what I get for using Hotmail for this kind of stuff, though.

    Given that one of the rarest trophies was from clearing part one of a game, I'm guessing it's just a flat "number of people who got this trophy."

    Meaning this could be a gold mine of figuring out which games sold terribly. :P

    Aw yiss.

    These are probably regional counts. There are over 1,000 people on truetrophies.com that have that trophy. Maybe EU trophy holders only?

    I didn't get it either, and I do get emails from Sony saying congrats on finishing games / getting Platinum trophies so would expect it to work. I suspect this was just sent to people with EU based accounts.

    I like trophy percentages though I don't get seriously into trophy hunting except for games I really love, and even then I won't do any that require more than a single play through. Mostly I just use them to see what parts of the game I'm overlooking or to see how other people play the same games.

    I do like the way that CoDs (with 6-8 hour campaigns) almost always have a lower completion rate than Souls games for example.

    The number of JRPGs I bought in the PS1 and PS2 eras, booted to watch the opening movie and then put aside "for later" would probably shock you.

    I'm better now but I would definitely have been part of that 4% at one time.

    I own my own domain and have a bit under 100 different email addresses that I use for various things. My PSN specific email address hasn't received one of these notices yet.

    On the other hand I did get a VR survey from Ubisoft for playing Werewolves Within and Eagle Flight. Took their incredibly long survey and supposedly they are going to send me $50 in ubisoft store credit. Frankly, I'll believe that when I get it.

    Still waiting on the PSN statistics too.

    I mean if you look at my trophies right now I have zero of them in The Last of Us, because I installed it, booted it up and set it aside for later. I'm sure lots of people will install games meaning well, but just never get around to playing them.

    Looks like PSN is sending some sort of statistics to their users as part of this 10 year anniversary.

    For me, it included this hilarious little tidbit:

    YOUR RAREST TROPHY

    Trophy name: Act. 1 CLEAR

    Game: MOON DIVER

    HOW MANY OTHER PLAYERS HAVE THIS TROPHY?

    1172

    I don't think this Moon Diver game sold super well, you guys.
    I love it when a game goes free on PS+ and all the trophies become Ultra Rare.

    I like checking the rarity of my trophies.

    It's always so sad when my favorite games have less than 30% of players with the "completed the game" trophy.

    I'm sure you've heard it 400 times, but... you should play TLoU. It's quite good.

    Your online play percentile (it’s a word) and trophy rarity stat are based on players who qualify for this email. Your trophy percentile is based on players who qualify for this email who also have over 25 trophies.

    Is the remastered Gravity Rush different to the original? I'm hating the motion controls and they play a significant part of this game on the vita. Hoping they might've removed then for the PS4 version.

    It has motion controls, but everything is also mapped to the right stick. I don't remember any "motion controls or die" sections, but I just played with the stick mostly.

    There's another PSN flash sale going on through the 27th. Ys 7 is finally on sale. Even though I already have it in UMD form on PSP, I'm tempted to buy it online just so I can play it on my PS TV.

    Also, the DLC for The Last of Us is on there too for $6. Might have to pick that up.

    You can share screenshots by pressing the Share button and selecting Screenshot. Then send it to one of the destinations on the list (Facebook, Twitter, Activities, Messages, or Communities). If you don't have a social media account, you can send it to Messages, then Create Group, then send the screenshot as an attachment to the group chat. Or just go to a friend (Via Profile or Friends list), send the Picture as an attachment to a PSN message to that friend.

    Either way, you can then head over to playstation.com, sign into your account. In the toolbar at the top of the website, there's a place to access your PSN messages, which should include the picture attachments. You can also chat with people on PSN now on playstation.com. It's kinda neat.

    Or, you can take the screen shot, copy it to a thumb drive, move it to your computer, and upload it to the forums.

    All of these options seem like more work than I would do to eventually get a PS4 screenshot onto a forum.

    The slide races in GR:R are WAY less annoying.

    Also, the motion controls can be turned off, but give them a try first. It is a completely different experience using them on the controller vs twisting the whole system around. I hated them on the portable, fwiw, but loved the extra precision aiming with the controller.

    Of course I also played a lot of Splatoon between the two games so just having a ton more hours put into a motion aiming game may have made them more familiar. I can't decide. Squirrels give me orders and I must obey.

    Just as a note, sorry I haven't posted the update, the drop or anything this week. It's been a hell week for me as I'm pretty sick and dealing with a lot of family issues. The latter of which will likely keep my forum presence low for a while. So if anyone could take over doing the updates and shit for the NA store for a little bit, that'd be awesome.
