In all seriousness are their economic migrants in the game? |

Well, there are people trying to get in under false pretenses. I don't know if they'd qualify as economic migrants, since the country I'm from seems like a poverty-stricken authoritarian hellhole. |

The government says the suicide bombers were probably Kolechian, so now I have to perform strip searches on every Kolechian coming through the booth. The game somehow manages to make the act almost as creepy and humiliating as I imagine it is in real life. Of course I never find any contraband. The fully nude scan seems intended just to embarrass and dehumanise them. There also seems to be an unspoken directive to not let any male Kolechians through at all. I keep getting violations for admitting possible smugglers and terrorists even when their documents seem to be in order. Good news on my son! On the night he died, I went to prison for not being able to pay rent, which means game over. So I was able to restart the checkpoint with my son still clinging to life and quickly got him some medicine. He survived through the night, though now everyone in my family is sick, cold, and hungry. I'm sorry, but if my uncle and mother in law expect some medicine, they got another thing coming. I simply can't afford it. There isn't enough money to go around, so I think I'll just take care of my wife and son from now on. |

FUCK! I spent ages trying for A+ on every chapter in Hotline Miami and the damn trophy didn't pop. I also didn't get the trophy for returning to the car 60 times and I damn sure I've done it more than 50 (finished the game 3 times completely thru and redone chapters a mountain for the puzzle pieces, masks and A+). This is one of the things that annoys me about achievements/trophies. When you use them as a measure of an achievement and you're not rewarded it's disheartening. |

Were you using the cross-save feature between the PS3 and Vita versions of the game? I had a similar problem unlocking a trophy in Thomas Was Alone, because I hadn't synced my trophies before continuing my game on the other device. Fortunately for me, I only had to redo a couple of levels. It's possible that your PS3 has registered A+ on some chapters, and the other chapters as A+ on the Vita, even though the save data knows that all chapters have the A+ score. |

Good theory but nope. I was playing solely on the Vita. I heard there were some issues with the 1.01 version of the game so have uninstalled it and am running the 1.00 ver. Will try again until I get another hand held game to play at which point I think I'll just dump it. |

The earlier version had some issues with trophies popping. I got the trophy to pop when I had a couple of A- levels. Completely accidentally really. I assume you've read this thread here: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/hotline-miami/203004-scoring.html |

I really don't like the scarcity of automatic checkpoints in Mass Effect. I just lost about an hour of progress after dying in the Matriarch Benezia fight. I didn't even realise I was about to start combat let alone a boss fight, having been walking through a mostly safe area. I guess I'll know where to manually save when I get back to the game later ... While I found the planet scanning in Mass Effect 2 a bit boring, at least it wasn't as tedious as driving around the planets in the Mako. There is rarely much interesting on the worlds (apart from the one with the space cows). It also seems a bit weird how there only seems to be three or four building layouts for the bases found on these worlds. Anyway, despite those gripes, I'm enjoying the story over all. |

While there's no doubt that the Mako sections could have been executed better, the planets at least gave me a sense of exploring a vast universe. The scanning in ME2 was just an extraordinarily tedious and reductive replacement. |

The planet scanning in ME2 was boring, but it also didn't take too long. And as you got more experienced, it got quicker. In contrast, driving around in the Mako started out being tediously slow, and stayed tedious. I agree that a better solution would have been to make the worlds more interesting (i.e. not just rocky mountains with different textures applied), but I'm kind of glad they cut that part of the game rather than leaving it unchanged compared to the first game. |

I'm with Raz in preferring the Mako to the planet scanning. Even though it was very unfinished feeling, it made you feel as though you're really out in space visiting barren uninhabited planets. One of the most memorable parts of ME1 for me was actually in the Mako sections, on one of the random planets there's some artifact you discover that gives Sheppard a vision (through in game text) of a distant human ancestor being monitored by the reapers. It was a cool little bit of insight and sense of scale that I really liked and always remembered. |

At least on the 3rd ME, they made the scanning much quicker. |

I didn't mind the scanning as much as everyone else seemed to. It was pretty satisfying to shoot a probe right on the peak of a resource and see those numbers quickly tick up. It was way too frequent though, and even though it was optional you kind of had to do it unless you didn't mind having the same vanilla upgrades all game. |

I hated the things that Chase you in ME3s space exploration map. |
