I wonder how far you can go with the meme. I mean, imagine 1 minute platinum games that make fun of 1 minute platinums. I think there's potential for actual bits of satire or trolling. 

 

Like you can name a game "Trophy System Destroyer DX". Or put "Please go outside" as a trophy name. Or give button prompts like "Press X for the trophy" but they are wrong every time, so you have to press every button on the controller. 

 

I still hope for the ultimate troll, but it has to be a part of the established series like "Jumping (food)", where one of these games turns out to be actually insanely hard. And they'd name the platinum "The real plat was the friends we've made along the way" or something like that.

 

A trophy description of "Awarded for downloading the game" would be an appropriate troll at this point

These games have one good thing: In the past, only the rich could collect many platinums, since the games cost a lot of money and many simple platinums had to be imported from Japan, which was also very expensive.

 

Through these games, normal and low-income people can also get involved at the top. Which is a good thing.

No way is that the "Evilest thing I can imagine" lol

 

Don't take this too literally. I'm just having fun.

 

Adding DLC to 2 of these games instead of 1 is already more evil, so yeah. ?

this is a fair point. Equal opportunity across the board. Nothin wrong with that.

 

To all those people bitching...

 

Step Up, or get stepped on

Me too! lol

 

To be fair, anygame that has ever been released up till this point, could have a sudden release with super hard DLC.

This happened to me with Comet Crash, it was a great game, easy 100% and then the DLC came out like 5 years later and was really quite hard lol

Or we can wait until we actually know what this game *is*, to see if it's actually Plat Trash or if it's just satire (either successful or not). I mean, there's *definitely* an issue with some "developers" just shitting out poorly hobbled together garbage in order to make a quick buck. But being cheap and/or easy to plat doesn't automatically make a game garbage. There's a *huge* difference between Plat Trash and satire games (like Mayo), Indie developers using a company like Ratalaika to port their games, and developers that tried and failed to make a good game. 

Unless you’ve been asleep for the past year, it’s pretty obvious that the front page is loaded with stacks of five minute games. 
 

Quality control is clearly lost on Sony, because they need to satisfy their corporate executives with endless pockets of money.

[KenjiCBZ]

I'm expecting that only one single X click is required to unlock all the Trophies.

[Letenko]

I hope the depth of the game won't be too much to bare. Still waiting for a game that will let you just get trophies right as you launch it without any button presses, then we'll have so REAL fun!

People used to bitch about Steam achievement games where you'd get around 1500 of them in 2 hours of gameplay, but I think we surpassed them.

unattainable to those who buy the disc lol

Quality control hasnt been lost on Sony. They make a % of sales.

 

People take gaming way too seriously.

I agree with you that these games are awful and have diluted trophy hunting but cmon now you can't just blindly blame everything on Sony. Things have gotten this far because trophy hunters decided to buy this sort of trash up at every opportunity for the last couple of years not because Sony came up with some grand scheme to make money off us with shovelware garbage that don't bring em any significant amount of profit if any at all. 

[ChouShirakawa]

My pride won't never let me buy any of these Mayo-like games.

I never cared of leaderboards, completion rate or shitty games in general. I platinum or just play the story of games which I enjoy.

 

You can have 1000 shitty games or 1000 hard games each to their own.  It's your money, it's your time. The only problem which I have with these games is that the whole main page is filled with 8 stacks. But it's also a nit pick. It will never destroy my gaming experience and there are other sites where I can see the newest games.

 

So the only people who really care about those stuff are people in the leaderboards or people who think platinum numbers matters.

Thats all he does is whine about Sony. If he was smart, he'd move onto PC or Xbox.

exactly. I play what i want, plat what i want or can. So many people miss out on good games because it has online trophies or some shit. "Omg my virtual ego cant be inflated more if i have unobtainable trophies" hahaha

They still do. That’s why their achievement system isn’t worth it.

Take a look at games from the 2008 - 2015 era and compare them to now. 
 

PSN games usually didn’t get a platinum. Blacklight Retribution didn’t get a platinum despite being a multiplayer game difficult to 100%. 
 

You had exceptions like Trine 2 on the PS3 which gave you the platinum for minimal work. Sound Shapes and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time allowed auto pop platinums after you finished them once on another platform. Both Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 allowed most trophies to autopop since you simply transferred the saves. The same thing a lot of PS5 games allow after you finish their corresponding PS4 version. 
 

These were the exception, now they are the rule. 
 

The standards suck, but then again, so do most facets of entertainment in this day and age. Obviously the standards changed, because you never would of saw this crap back in 2012 - 2015.

The sequel to this game should also be pressing the X button, but have some Dominatrix or similar on screen, belittling you the whole time.

This made me chuckle a little too hard ? 

[DrBloodmoney]

Sounds fascinating.

 

 I never played Press  for Trophies, though.

 

I think I'd be lost, and unable to properly understand the nuance and subtleties the story if I just jumped in on this one without knowing the canon.

[Copanele]

Oh man, I sure hope my Turbo controller can handle this game...

[RedDevil757]

Yeah I think it's time I found a new more rewarding hobby. Maybe I'll try this Outside thing I've been told about

[MD_91]

I like the mayo games for the self aware memes that they are so the description for this has me interested 

[VeldinX]

I actually agree with @AJ_Radio. This is ultimately down to Sony. Every shop, physical or digital, has standards and curates their wares. If a product is deemed poor quality, insulting to the consumer or even just doesn’t align with the retailer’s brand values, it won’t be stocked. I mean we’ve all watched The Apprentice right? The behind-the-scenes look at product pitches to retail. They are strict.

 

You can’t really blame the people who buy these “games” (obviously they’re making poor choices but each to their own) nor the devs who make them. Again, very poor show, but they’re just making a living with an easy and lucrative market. Ultimately the buck stops with Sony. They’re the ones who are the decision makers of what will be sold on the PS Store, and they used to have pretty high standards in the past - so that was the precedent set. Now, they’ve let standards slip. So that’s a fundamental change from the norm. They’re not looking at the bigger picture of brand image, quality and consumer satisfaction. I’d argue they don’t have our interests in mind here! Which is what’s most shocking about how most people let them off with it. 
 

For the record, I love PlayStation. Have always played on PS. That doesn’t mean I can’t criticise Sony. Of course they’ve done great things, but they do a lot of shitty things too and we should hold them accountable. Their current stance on this topic has made the PS Store very difficult and cumbersome for us, and even more difficult for genuine indies to flourish like they did in the PS3 days.

[pnepnepne]

Only ever bought one of these “games” which exist for trophy achievements only. It was Finger Fitness, and I feel bad about it ever since.

Not really fussed about the existence of these games and those that chase them, but there are definitely too many now.

 

I do like the Heavy Rain reference though
