tampines11 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Do you prefer games that have the minimal number of trophies to get the platinum (i.e. 11 gold and a plat) or do you prefer games that require you to get more trophies to reach the holy grail (e.g. 44 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold, a plat)?

Bumperklever Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) hahaha oh no, we just had 2 topics about easy trophies, do we need a third? Well I voted for the obvious answer. That means of course 11 golds and a Plat. why even have bronze? those are for scrubs that can't efford a dollar.

Popular Post dieselmanchild Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Well… to answer your question, this is basically me: Golds have always been my favourite type of trophy, and to me they’ve always been really special to me. The vast majority of the games I play only come with 2-3 golds per trophy list and these are usually reserved for the bigger or more difficult trophies that actually make you earn them. When you’re only averaging a few golds for every 30 or 40 hours of trophy hunting, it makes it really awesome when you pop one. Unlocking a new shiny gold gives me something to look forward to when I’m working through a trophy list. It is for this same reason that I can’t stand the thousands of garbage game stacks that hand out gold trophies like candy on Halloween and have basically made them completely worthless for a lot of trophy hunters. You can always tell what kind of trophy hunter someone is just by simply glancing at their platinum-to-gold trophy ratio, and I feel kinda sad for all the people out there who basically regard gold trophies the same way they regard bronze trophies because they earn dozens of them every day without any kind of real effort. Most of these people don’t even blink or feel anything at all when they pop a gold trophy, but for me, a gold trophy is something special to work towards, and a nice little dopamine rush and sense of accomplishment when you add one to your list! Of course I do wish I could earn golds more frequently than I do now, but if doing so meant trading in that feeling of earning unique and special trophies then I could simply never do it. I think it would destroy the essence of what I love about trophy hunting. So this is one of the main reasons I prefer a varied trophy list. But I also think a varied trophy list is superior because not only do you earn more trophies in total for completing a game, but a standard trophy list it is a lot more thoughtful and fleshed out, and provides the player with so much more to do. At the end of the day we are all trophy “hunters” are we not? The process of actually hunting for each trophy, of achieving that full sense of completion from a game you bought as you move through a trophy list and master each task, I think this is why most of us started up with this hobby to begin with. I would never want to lose that. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood-Stalker1 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I like a lil bit less bronze and a bit more silver and gold especially depending on what you have to for say gold ( get gold rank in rainbow six siege what do you get a sliver trophy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConAir Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Even though I like to get Gold Trophies, those only Gold and a Platinum Trophy lists are equal to very easy games. It doesn't satisfy me outside of getting another Platinum Trophy. If you have a list with Bronze, Silver and some Gold Trophies you generally get an idea what the difficult ones are. If I unlock one of those, I feels like I accomplished something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't played Inksplosion yet. Any game that requires some amount of skill/patience to complete. Neither of those games are ones that every gamer will find easy.

Popular Post ThatMuttGuy Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 I can't stand lists that only have 11 gold trophies or whatever. I enjoy playing a game and exploring it to its fullest (for the most part; some games aren't good enough for that, but we do it anyway for the plat). When a game has a maximum of 11 tasks that you need to do to get all the trophies, as well as all being the same rank, it's not satisfying at all for me. When a game has a list from 30-50 trophies, they can add in a wide variety of trophies of varying difficulties. It makes the game more engaging, as well as actually feeling like you did something great when you finally get to a gold trophy on the list. Doesn't hurt that 95% of all lists that have 11 gold trophies are just shovelware that gets you a plat in 10 minutes or less. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino_Destructo Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I like them spread out equally. It's more satisfying that way and makes some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLordXNightmareX Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I bet that the majority of the top trophy hunters with thousands of plats have played ratalaika/11 gold games. Only true trophy hunters have plated games like Super Meat Boy, Twisted Metal, Black Ops 3/4, or other harder AAA or indie games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocusDR Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I seem to get more gold than silver trophies on normal games. Like difficulty and collectibles I don’t care for but they are usually silver. So when I noticed that I stopped buying these 11 gold games and I try to get more silver on normal games ??

Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 The lists are fucking lazy. Whenever I see someone’s profile with 10,000+ trophies but with over 4000 - 5000 gold, I automatically see they just played shovelware that just handed them the gold. Lists should be more creative, but that’s time and money that junk developers can’t afford. So they crank out the same shit 10 - 11 gold trophy lists, with no change in variables. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
