I've heard from several different website forums that people who have beaten Infamous 2 on hard haven't received the "Pain Builds Character" trophy.
They were saying that after receiving the prompt at the end of the game to continue on to their hard playthrough, and after beating the game on hard, they didn't receive the trophy.
I already beat the game on normal but this prompt never allowed me to start a new game on hard.
So should I just start a new game and then switch the difficulty to hard during the first cutscene? Or not until the final mission?

Trophy issues w/ Hard difficulty
I'd do it during the cutscene just to be safe. There are people who have changed difficulty while still in the Empire City scene but didn't get it because they waited to long.
It's still ridiculous that Sucker Punch didn't design it so that you just choose the difficulty setting at the beginning when you hit new game. It would of solved all of the problems people have been having trying to get that trophy...
I will feel incredibly cheated if I don't get that trophy by the end, since I'm not planning on playing it a third time.
Just to be on the safe side, I started a new game, changed the difficulty and then started another new game. I imagine it'll work just before you do anything else though.
I just finished it today on hard and didn't get the trophy.
It automatically changed the difficulty to hard after the tutorial and I figured it would count...it didn't.
@Sander: Infamous 2 is by no means easy. There's a fair amount of challenge especially in hard mode, but yeah you're right, Brad can be kind of a pussy sometimes......No offense Brad but it's true!Infamous 2 is very easy, even on hard. As long as you never forget that you can heal at any time by draining electricity you are pretty much unkillable except for the rare cheap deaths by shotgun guys you didn't see.
Yeah sure Infamous 2 is pretty easy on normal, but it is at the very least "challenging" on hard.

This just happened to me as I finished my second (Hero) playthrough. Frustrating because this trophy is the only one left before the Platinum trophy. Any workarounds anyone knows of or will there have to be another playthrough in my very near future?
