With the recent announcements lately of a number of Triple A game servers going offline after 5+ years of existing, some of us have been scrambling to secure multiplayer trophies required to get platinums or 100% completion rates. I recently did this with Burnout Paradise as it was my first platinum trophy and I had neglected the final 9 trophies to get it to 100% with DLC.

Then I saw that the PS3 Uncharted games were all going offline so I took a look at those and saw that for the most part, a lot of DLC would be required to get 100% completion. I didn't care about that because I never bought the DLC or viewed Uncharted games as FPS games which the DLC typically focused on. I looked at them as spectacularly unparalleled adventure games and that they are. So it was important for me to maintain the ability to get platinums for Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 on PS3.

To that end I reviewed the base game trophies for all the Uncharted PS3 games and this is where I am:

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 48 of 48 100%
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 41 of 48 85%
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception 26 of 55 47%

But after reviewing all of these, I noticed that I only needed 2 multiplayer trophies for Uncharted 3:

Bronze Buddy System: Complete one Cooperative Multiplayer game
Thrillseeker trophy: Complete one Competitive Multiplayer game

Seems easy enough.

So I dusted off my copy of Drake's Deception and threw it in the PS3 to load up some multiplayer. Lo and behold it hit me why I never got the DLC for this game.

You have to pay for multiplayer.

Wow.

So I was like, what am I gonna do? I was forced to pay $10 for the pleasure of going online and finding randos to complete these trophies.

That's stupid. But at least I can now leisurely work on the plats for these games without the pressure of having to traverse the Internet wasteland, LFG to do obnoxious things like finding RNG treasures while playing FPS rounds.

F that noise.
