Ratalaika makes the jump to PS5

[ElevExplorer64 276]

It looks like Ratalaika's endless supply of hilariously easy platinums isn't going to diminish anytime soon. I'm not surprised, nor do I really care (hey, these devs needed some way to get their game on the PS Store), but between this and auto-popping trophies on PS5, I can imagine some people are concerned about the future of trophy hunting.

This isn't their first game on PS5. There is Freddy Spaghetti and Ultra Goodness 2 also.

 

They did say in a tweet not to long ago that by the middle of February they would be getting more of the games on PS5 and I believe they are looking into getting some of the older games onto PS5 also.

I wonder if they are going to offer free upgrades on PS5. If so, it looks like I'm getting about 20 additional platinums when I get a PS5 (I bought a ton of Rata games back in late 2019)

Concept Destruction was their first PS5 port.

The competitive part of trophy hunting is dead right now, as Sly hasn't done anything to address the insane inflation of platinum shovelware in the last many years.

 

Every time somebody comes up with suggestions on how to correct the inflation, the same group of crybabies start flooding the threads with excuses on why not to address the problems. No real alternative solutions from them, rather than to "leave and find some group with same trophy hunting preferences".

 

Funnily enough those same persons are the ones keeping this shitty shovelware industry alive, and would lose most their points if changes were made.

Just got twin robots EU/NA ps5 so yeah they are slowly getting into ps5

[BlindMango 7,657]

I just started laughing to myself seeing 8 lists for the same freaking game all in the same day - you're saying Ratailaka did this? I am shocked, truly

I hope something is done about the shovelware at some point by Sony or by Sly, because why would developers or publishers stop flooding the market with trash when people are still buying the games to play them for 10 minutes to "earn" the trophies? While it hasn't killed off my personal interest in trophy hunting because most normal games still have good trophy lists, it's completely killed my interest in the community aspect of trophy hunting. Who cares about browsing other peoples profiles now when most of them are full of shovelware lists?

Im sad that they support vita but not PS3, all those extra stacks we could have

[NERVergoproxy 5,109]

So is it crossbuy now with PS5? Because I want every pennies worth.

I forgot about that one.

20 Euro x 4 Stacks = 80 Euro. That sounds like a lot to me.

I gotta say I really don't care about that at all. It's a smart move from studios like Ratalalaika to bring their games to next gen, because there are apparently enough people who like spending their money for these "games". Can't blame them.

I was a bit shocked about the price tag when I first saw it as well.

Not everyone sees  what you coined as “inflation” as a “problem” to be “corrected”. And there is more than one solution than just to change the cumulative points leaderboard, as it’s still doing the thing it’s designed to do. In fact most of the opposition is just to changing the current leaderboard and have been mostly supportive of creating a separate board tailored to what you’re looking for. 

 

Although calling others crybabies with what you have in this post is an interesting take.

Are you telling me that not all people agree on everything?

I am truly shocked.

 

No matter how many times you try to derail these threads and posts by your irrelevant nonsensical talk, the point inflation is a fact - and is continuously getting worse.

 

The leaderboard is not some natural law and static as you constantly make it sound like.

It works the way it's designed. It can be improved, which is what people are trying to do.

The leaderboard is a cumulative points leaderboard. Please explain how to improve cumulative points. 
 

It’s not derailing just because you don’t agree. 

[SnowNinjaRaccoon 805]

8 Plats for a single games is just stupidly ridiculous. At some point there will release a stack for every country available just to make some profit from trophy-addicted.

Anyone who is still crying about easy platinum games in 2021 needs to get a life.

The leaderboard is cumulative because Sly chose it to be cumulative.

When this site was made, we didn't have tons of platinum shovelware inflating the points.

When something unexpected happens, you adapt instead of not doing anything for years.

 

You are constantly derailing threads and posts, by nitpicking something irrelevant and turning the discussion about that specific little thing.

People can write a long post with many good points which you will ignore, and comment on one small irrelevant part of the post.

 

Do you even acknowledge that there is a point inflation?

If yes, what are your suggestions on how to fix it?

If people want to go for shovelware and be ranked on cumulative leaderboards as it currently is, by all means let them be. You may not like it, but that's life. People play games you may not like, and they may not like your games either. At the end of the day, it's a piece of code to signify a "completion" of a game. Nothing to get upset over or attempt to "gatekeep".

 

Live and let live.

I have never told people what to play, or what not to.

People can play and do whatever they want, I don't really care.

 

What I care for is the community based trophy hunting, which is destroyed by these games that used to be PSN games with no platinums.

Suddenly there is a flood of hundreds of stacks, which take from minutes to few hours to complete, making the leaderboard completely obsolete.

 

Why shouldn't we try to improve the leaderboards?

People can still play whatever they want.

[sepheroithisgod 1,275]

Absolutely disgusting that nothing has been done about these shovelware plats.

You’ll have to define point inflation in the way you are referring it.
 

A trophy awards points based on the type of trophy assigned to an action chosen by the developer. That hasn’t changed since trophies were introduced, aside from the point values of platinums increasing, but that was retroactive. 
 

I don’t think that what I assume you’re talking about when you refer to point inflation is a problem to be fixed. I think wanting to create a tailored leaderboard to only compare yourself to profiles in the way you choose is fine. And I think those leaderboards can live along side a cumulative points leaderboard. I also don’t think (even though there are absurd numbers of regional releases) that these games are as big a problem as people are making them out to be considering the sheer number of alternatives to these releases and the fact that many of these need to be purchased multiple times and played through again to earn their points. They don’t just autopop. Then it becomes what the leaderboard has always been. Whoever has the most money and time stays at the top.

l can understand from time to time you feel like you can treat yourself with an easy platinum ( think like your cheat day ) but l see lots of profiles with 99% of their platinum are from ratalika games and to me, those profiles are absolutely garbage. They already ruined trophy hunting on last gen, didn't need to step up to PS5, now they're just pissing on the corpse.

[LoveInHell 1,650]

Having Ratalaika auto-popping trophies is going to be quite the internet war amongst trophy hunters.
