Trophy thoughts?

Is this a game that's gonna tell us that Halloween is the devil's holiday and celebrating it will mean you're going to hell?

 

Looks like you just have to finish the game a few times under certain circumstances.

Seeing the simple graphics and reference to a "Church", I immediately thought it was the newest addition to the "Avoid Them" series that usually appear every Sunday without fail.

I went to the website in the game icon and it had links to Breakthrough Gaming Arcade. That’s about all anyone needs to know.

Got plat, i believe this is a 10-15 minutes plat if you teach a pattern of road that need to be beat in challenge mode.

On there twitter they said something about releasing a new game every Sunday. So I'd imagine they're not going to stop any time soon. ?

[ElevExplorer64]

Pass.

[ObsiEez]

I honestly wish Sony had better quality control. The amount of pure garbage getting released now is just wild. & the fact the us trophies hunters keep falling for their garbage for the sake of trophies is very saddening in my opinion

[Griffon234]

It seems like one of those shitty shovelware Steam games. :/

[Brink-2-Chaos]

The challenge mode "time trial" seems a bit stupid already have the challenge run moves written down but the time needed seems stupid short also to activate challenge mode you need to hit triangle on the main menu 

[Abby_TheLastofUs]

All their games have more owners here than a lot of great indie games.

 

If it weren't for trophy sites, these games probably wouldn't even be getting released on PS consoles.

All gold trophies. They can't be serious. I get that we're not coming back up from the race to the bottom on the value of the Platinum trophy, but there really should have been guidelines set in place for what can qualify as a Gold Trophy with difficulty/progression requirements and hard limits depending on the game or overall size of the trophy list.

PSN’s store is just Steam 2.0.

I'll don't buy this Shovelware, I'll stay with my challenging High Quality Ratalaika Games.

"Story One" is the thing that worries me the most.

Yeah - that really does ratchet up the horror, doesn’t it?

 

It’s the difference between:

 

”I’m going to feed you this plate of faeces”

 

and

 

”I’m going to feed you this plate of faeces first...”

 

?

There are four stories listed on their website. Not to mention they (Breakthrough Gaming) have a bunch of other ‘games’ listed on their website that could potentially be released on the PS store.

[Thrillhelm]

Compared to their previous entries, this game is a quantum leap. Now we have reached early Game Boy levels of graphics (not gameplay wise).

[Secret]

I really wish there was better QC for games like this (similar issues I have with Steam), while I don't necessarily mind them too much I'm personally not a fan of them being thrown together just for the sake of appealing to "trophy hunters" that want a fast & easy platinum. I'd rather focus more on games that are actually enjoyable and meaningful to me, but if somebody else finds some form of enjoyment out of things like this then I guess I can't really refute that.

 

However, there is one thing that annoys me, and that's the amount of stacks some of these "games" pump out (PS5 stacks don't help this case either) and creates so much bloat when trying to scroll through the games list. I think the "Xbox Live Indie Games" section from the old Xbox 360 days was done quite well to handle things like this, no achievement support and that section was the quarantine zone for "lower quality" games.

 

While this site hasn't had any major updates lately, it'd be cool to have a way to filter games based on region, as well as filtering games like this that are just there for the sake of a fast platinum - makes finding more niche games I might be interested in a lot more of a hassle the more common this style of game gets. Some kind of secondary ranking system that excludes these types of games from qualifying would be nice too, creating a much more genuine ranking that isn't just "who buys the most stacks on the newest 10 minute platinum".

[Thrillhelm]

People would IMHO accept these games a bit more if they had no platinum trophy. I can think of a list with 1 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze trophies and it would still be a good bargain for 99 cents.

 

But seeing this as a platinum next to something like a time consuming platinum like Skyrim or Monster Hunter, or some platinum that require true skill is something I can see people infuriate.

 

[TheSleepyBeauty]

I said it before and ill say it again. You're gonna be spending atleast a good 40 dollars total on these games by the end of the year. That's their scheme every sunday for one dollar. Now their getting cocky by putting the word "church" in the title. It's basically a brainwashing tactic to get you into their religion. It might not work right now but I guarantee you that some people will be curious and want to find out. Not only that but it's taking away from other indie games that deserve the spotlight, not these cheaply made games I can make in middle school. Sometimes we have to snap out of getting an easy platinum trophy and actually make that decision of "do I want to spend money on easy terrible games i won't enjoy for the platinum?" or "Buy a game I'm interested in & will enjoy even if the platinum seem's like a challenge?". These breakthrough games would not fly by sony in the ps2 & ps3 era. Period. 

[DoctorDrPepper]

it makes the numbers go up

[Thrillhelm]

Just bought Sakura Succubus the other day for a much higher price, same as Legends of Talia, which offers two Platinum each (or one if you don't have a PS5 yet) for 5 Euros where these games offer gameplay, though as little as it can be, for 99 cents. 

 

For a trophy hunter, getting a game with an easy platinum for 99 cent is just too good of a bargain. They could charge more and people would buy it. 

 

This may seem as a waste of time. But I remember spending 60 Euros on Day One for The Order 1886, which has no replay value at all and I was done after 8 or so hours.

And yet, you didn't play any of those; you just skipped all the gameplay lol.

The decisions in Sakura Succubus made no difference at all, and Legends of Talia didnt have any decisions (Winter's Daydream all over again). Whereas Baseball or Avoid Them at least offered a little challenge.
