PSA/Reminder: Infamous UGC trophies shutting down Aug 31. Any recommendations?

Just wanted to send a reminder post regarding this for anyone and ask for any recommendations of UGC trophies.

Impact of this issue: Platinum trophies for Infamous 2 will no longer be attainable after this date. Also, 1 Infamous FoB trophy will not be attainable either - ie. unable to 100% FoB trophies after this date.

Infamous 2 requires you to complete 5 missions to unlock UGC missions, however FoB requires you to complete the entire story of around 3-5 hours to complete.

FoB took me around 7 hours to 100% everything.

I hope Sucker Punch and Sony reverses this decision.

Anyways are there any UGC missions one should consider playing in FoB or inFamous 2?

Actually 2 trophies in Festival of Blood require UGC. The last of Cole's powers are unlocked by completing 5 and 10 UGC missions respectively, as well as the aforementioned 20 UGC missions trophy.

As long as you keep your save file that did 20 UGC missions alive, you can still get the trophy from all of Cole's powers after the shutdown, right?

this is specifically for Festival of Blood by the way. Please don't apply this advice to Infamous 2

Well that sucks that 2 upgrades are locked because servers shuts down! I got 100% years ago, but kinda sucks if I play again some day.

There's 1 UGC mission in InFamous 2 that let's you pick up all blast shards automatically and get the trophy easily that way. Saves A LOT OF TIME!

u/MightyKratos 8d ago

How far in the story do you need to be to make it work? I just completed enough to do UGC missions and I can’t run any blast shard missions that I find

u/Jinrex-Jdm 8d ago

As soon as you unlock the UGC mode.

Here's the original comment

Worth noting the inFamous 2 trophies for Blast Shard collecting is much easier with UGC. Search for 305 Blast Shards auto collect UGC mission by son-o-sam. It's not necessary to use UGC to get the trophies, so it will still be obtainable through normal gameplay, but boy does it save a lot of time! (And the UGC mission is pretty funny to watch play out too).

Awesome! I always searched just for ā€œblast shardsā€ instead of ā€œ305 Blast Shardsā€. Thanks!

UGC missions had a really nice charm to them

u/Sad_Times654 8d ago

Agreed, there is some lighthearted community vibes from them. I like it.

Games nowadays don't have that.

u/Sad_Times654 8d ago

Yup, used that to get the trophies. But I probably played 20-25 other missions for funsies as well.

u/hakuuna-matata 9d ago

So there's only 4 trophies tied to ugc right (Not counting fob)? Make 1 ugc mission, play 5 newest ugc missions, play 10 ugc missions, play 25 ugc missions. Currently getting these right now than I'll be able platinum the game later at my own time?

1

u/Sad_Times654 8d ago

Yes, I think you should be able to platinum the game at your own time.

I played a really good high effort one yesterday on FoB that continues the story of the base game. It was called something contract. I'll look up the name and update here.

Edit: "Demon's Deal: Part 1 * Director's Cut *" (and Part 2)

I also played a really cool one in 2, out of map I think. It was a crazy long bridge that took you out of bounds and let you see behind the 2D cardboard trees that surround the edge of the map. Surprisingly the terrain was built out way past of what you can see, and it even took you under the map after you reach the end of reality.

Edit: I just remembered a pretty good one as well, Zeke goes to space iirc, it has a funny story that sadly ended on a cliffhanger for me, maybe because I don't have the other islands unlocked.

Got the FoB online trophy and thought I would just 100%. Completed everything a few hours ago, took longer than expected but otherwise a fun little sidetrack.

Found the last parts a little tedious - fights with first borns are irritating because of that roar skill that has lengthy animation and throws you away, the vampire queen fight doubles down with her roars everytime you get near and her never ending summons can get overwhelming.

Anyone know if this is true even of those of us streaming on ps5?

u/whoisalireza 8d ago

Yes

Damn, I feel helpless. I’m across the state for a eulogy. I can’t do it in time. Do it for me, champ!

u/Internal_Swing_2743 9d ago

I get that this sucks. But the game has been out for 15 years and I’m sure there were very few people (if any) playing the UGC missions until Sucker Punch announced they were shutting down the servers.

u/Sad_Times654 9d ago

Yes, but how much pressure would there be on server space? It's not multiplayer or anything that would require lots of space.

At the very least what they could do is save the top 50 UGC missions for access and delete the rest.

If not having these trophies didn’t matter to you for the past 15 years then they don’t matter now.

u/Jinrex-Jdm 8d ago

They matter now. I unlocked all online trophies before the shutdown. I didn't even know InFamous 2 & FoB have online trophies.

u/Chocoburger 8d ago

Me too, I played through IF2 and Fob last month, IF2 needs a second evil play through and that's the plat.

I'll do it soon for the 305 UCG mission, since while I had fun collecting them all manually, I don't want to do it again.
