I have a few platinums (Resident Evil 5, Resonance of Fate, Shadows of the Damned, The Ultimate Genesis Collection, Blazblue: Calamity Trigger, and the one I'm most proud of: Bayonetta - playing that hardest difficulty without Witch Time was a bitch), but I'm not obsessive about it unless I'm competing with friends on a particular game. I won't try to platinum a game I don't like and I won't try to go for an impossible platinum (Wipeout HD, for example). </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-30096 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:27:10 +0000 Deacon 30096@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Have recently started playing on a PC again, and I must say it's such a fucking relief not to have to think about my 'score' as a gamer, and to just play without any ulterior motives.</p> <p>Every time I turn on my PS3 I'm thinking in the back of my mind which games I should play based on the trophies obtained and how far I am to completion. I desperately try not to, but it seems uncontrollable, especially for someone who loves to complete and collect like myself.</p> <p>Saying that, I see cheevos have invaded a lot of Steam games, and even WoW.</p> <p>I strongly agree that some devs have the right idea with their trophies, whilst others clearly want to torment you. Maybe this is all subjective based on how you like to play.</p> <p>But, but but but but... I definitely absolutely 100fuckingpercentedly wish that 'achievements' / 'trophies' had simply never been introduced. They aren't innovative, they aren't smart, and we never needed them to enjoy our gametime with any previous generation of consoles.</p> <p>As hard as I have tried to ignore them, most times I simply cannot.<br /> I feel there is progress to be made and I'm squandering time if I play a game without trophies available.</p> <p>Moving back to PC has been a breath of fresh air. And I am hopeful that it will help cure my trophy affliction. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-30095 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:06:03 +0000 YoungZer0 30095@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Don't take this the wrong way, but ... who cares? Why do you care? I'm pretty sure i've managed to get some platinum trophies in my playtime, but what's the benefit of it? Do you get some gifts or something? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-30094 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:01:58 +0000 psperformer 30094@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Nice to see others who think like me - getting plat on Dead Nation is a cool achievement, I'd say.</p> <p>But I think you guys have a point in saying that there's a danger of being made to play more than you'd like to.</p> <p>I do my best to avoid that trap and not let platinums take control of me!<br /> Good thing my new <a href="http://bestdigitalpianoz.com/yamaha/yamaha-p95">Yamaha P95</a> is keeping me busy.</p> <p>Anyway, best of luck to you all. I wish you continued success in 2012. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-28226 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:44:37 +0000 Deacon 28226@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I've just given up on chasing them, is more what I meant.</p> <p>I really enjoyed getting plat on Dead Nation, as it's a very addictive game to play with a friend, and replays absurdly well.</p> <p>That's about the only time I've enjoyed them though, and from now on I'm just going to pretend like they're not there.</p> <p>I agree with you though Geo, when done right, they can be great. When used as a tool to coax you into playing more than the average person would, awful. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-28225 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:38:57 +0000 Telepathic.Geometry 28225@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Deacon: I think I know where you're coming from, but I personally think that it's more the case that in some games they're really badly - or occasionally just half assedly - implemented.</p> <p>I think the platinum should just represent completion of the game from a gamer's point of view. Like, I finished all the temples, found all the hearts and all four bottles in Zelda say. Or I completed the game and took down the secret final boss. In that way the game is 'enhanced' by having the trophies. It's like having a mission screen on the console, rather than in-game.</p> <p>It should not be abused - as it often is - to cajole gamers into playing the game again and again and not sell it on. I think I heard a great quote on the EG podcast there a while back by a game dev who said you have to be really careful not to lead gamers into non-fun gameplay with trophies. That's the challenge going forward for trophy design, 'cause like 'em or not they're here to stay. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-28222 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:20:18 +0000 Deacon 28222@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I'm so god damn fed up with trophies... I really do think they're a step in the wrong direction for the overall enjoyment of our beloved hobby. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-28221 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:02:47 +0000 Telepathic.Geometry 28221@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I have 20 plats, and 2 PSN games at 100%.

Uncharted 1). Ever since then, been hooked on platinums and have 24 platinums all together. Some games I know I'll never get it for (GTA4 and MVC3 because of obvious reasons people who play these games know of), but when I do obtain them, it feels like I have personally conquered the game and an impressive notch on my PSN belt. And no, I don't boost trophies or share accounts with others. I earn my platinums. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-22682 Sun, 08 May 2011 13:48:58 +0000 Mozer1979 22682@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I am new to this posting type shinanigans, but my 1st platinum was Heavy rain (very easy), closely followed by MW2 (relatively easy) though i must admit that some of the spec ops missions did cause, copious amounts of swearing and control pad lobbing, I usually find that i get within touching distance of platinuming a game then, get cought up by something else, for example, MoH 90%, CoD black ops 87%,etc</p> <p>ps/ I was also one of the unfortunate, few that completed Fallout3, before the trophy patch, and have just never got around to doing it again </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550&page=2#post-22487 Thu, 05 May 2011 18:53:24 +0000 Deacon 22487@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Yeah.

What I meant by controls is the game feels sluggish. SP I didn't mind but MP you can't even aim down your targets. You're better off just shooting from the hip.</p> <p>Don't worry about the online trophies either. I would never wanna see you suffer playing that slug fest for a bet. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550#post-22372 Wed, 04 May 2011 20:18:32 +0000 reask 22372@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Jaysus Tea that is tempting. :)<br /> I just found some parts really frustrating tbh.<br /> Still a years sub.</p> <p>I might go back and give it another blast but I aint doing all the online shit.<br /> If I beat it on elite I am calling you in OK. ;)<br /> F**k it that's a challenge m8. LMAO.<br /> I am getting too old for this shit but I hate turning down a challenge.</p> <p>BTW Tea on the controls.<br /> There is an alternative option on it.<br /> Maybe it was patched in after you beat it? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550#post-22369 Wed, 04 May 2011 20:06:13 +0000 Anonymous 22369@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Reask its do able trust me, just run past certain guys to get to the check points. I tell you what and this isn't to boost my ego or tout my own horn but if you beat it on Elite I'll reward your effort and hard dedication with a full year PSN+ sub. Take your time and you can do it. I hate to see you conquer KZ3 but not KZ2 (despite its horrible controls).</p> <p>I'm not trying to bribe you or anything I just know you've came along way with FPS and I know you can do it. Maybe a little friendly motivation is what you need to spark that fire up and try again.</p> <p>Schindet Nemo yea I know about that but thanks for the heads up anyway. Sure I can help you boost if you need help. My PSN id is this username of course. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550#post-22368 Wed, 04 May 2011 19:54:45 +0000 Schindet Nemo 22368@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Hope you have grinded for some cash in advance TEA, the FF XIII plat will be a pain otherwise.</p> <p>Anyway I'm working on Portal 2 right now.

I know you can do it just use cover as possible and go for head shots. Online is another thing. That you have to be the top 1% of the week is tricky. Theres a time guide line of when to start. Its starts Sunday at different times depending what time zone you live in and last for that entire. You have to play everyday getting insane amounts of kills to be top 1%.</p> <p>You can even gain kills in private online matches too. The best times to maximize your chance of that trophy is when a new FPS like COD comes out and a few thousand KZ2 players leave for a few weeks to play MW3. Since the controls are way different than KZ3 its going to be very annoying but thats your best bet to get it.</p> <p>Anyone going for the WipEout HD must lover racers and have serious killer sharp reflexes to master and take advantage of the speed in that game. Good Luck! If you ever get the Transcendence Trophy you are considered a PlayStation Veteran and hardcore elite gamer. No one can say shit to you. Its the only Platinum trophy to carry that kind of status alone. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550#post-22332 Wed, 04 May 2011 16:43:44 +0000 reask 22332@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>^ Thank F**k someone else feels the same LOL. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4550#post-22331 Wed, 04 May 2011 16:41:31 +0000 Crab of Thunder 22331@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>KZ2's online trophies are near damn impossible to do legitimately.
