Pain DLC delayed a week, trophies toned down
Like a hot nurse kissing a mime, there's something good and something bad in today's update from the always-busy developers behind the PS3's bone-breaking simulator, Pain. First, the bad news: the downloadable "Uncle Jimmy's Fun Park" level, originally planned for release tomorrow, has been delayed, and is currently targeted for release on the ominous date of Sept. 11.
Why was it delayed? Well that's the good news: the development team has been spending its time scaling back the difficulty of the somewhat ridiculous trophies it announced last month. Seems testers didn't have too much fun grinding their way through the "one billion points" trophy, among others. The new trophy list, which is copied below the break, is also set to be downloadable on Sept. 11
GOLD TROPHIES
SILVER TROPHIES
BRONZE TROPHIES

What an insane trophy this is.

I got tired of this game after about 10 minutes, trophies aren't going to change that. It's like palying hot shots golf on the same hole for eternity, only with wind and weather turned off.

By the way, your link is "somewhat" broken. You might want to hire an editor.

I still say those I kinda hard.........
and the requirement to get DLC to get a trophy sucks ass.........especially considering you HAVE to have it to get %100......

I don't get why trophy's can't be silly hard, as opposed to "anyone can do it if they spend a little extra time".
Trophies and achievements don't unlock anything, it's for completionists, and so there's no problem asking people to excel ridiculously, or to download the DLC, if they want to show they like the game enough to 100% it they should buy DLC anyway.
The only achievements I've ever chased have been the GeoWars2 ones, as they were essentially minigames and fun alternatives to the normal modes. All of the rest are for people with more time than games (and a link in their sig they gotta keep their trophy cred up).

They're suppose to be fun and challenging, not overwhelming, to the point that it could be impossible. The prior trophies we're just too ridiculous.
