Popular Post turniplord Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Killbomb said: These games almost make My Name is Mayo look like a masterpiece. My Name is Mayo was an actual game. It had a purpose and it told a story - the third even added that strange walking bit at the end so the game wasn't a quick platinum. That game, along with Mr. Massagy, shouldn't be placed in the same category as these non-games. These have no purpose other than to scam those who are obsessed with trophies and purposely clog up the PSN store with their crappy multiple versions every single week. If Sony won't fix it and ban these pathetic 'games' from being published, they need to allow us to manually block publishers on the PS5 and web store, that way we can clear the weekly 'new games' lists of at least 20-30 games nobody cares about. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dry Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 If I’m not mistaken, this is the first “game” (quotation marks because this really isn’t a game) to ever receive a full base game trophy list with only bronze trophies followed by a platinum trophy. Personally I’m not thrilled Stroke The Dog of all things is the first to do this. Base game lists with only silver or gold trophies and a platinum have existed for long a while (such as Terminator Salvation and Sound Shapes respectively) but never has there been a list with 70 bronze trophies and a platinum until now. The closest we could ever get to that is 1 platinum, 1 gold and 64 bronze trophies with many games having done this format over the years. Also why is it that now days just about anything and everything is welcome onto the PlayStation Store but when a developer/publisher includes “trophies” in the title of their “game” or they make any reference to trophies in the store description (ahem, 1000 Top Rated) then and only then do they have a problem? Sony/SIE’s current standards are pathetic, honestly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valzentia Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Now watch as this ends up being a wonderful Mayo-esque parody of easy plats. Wishful thinking but it would be hilarious. I kind of want to make one myself, but I don't have the money for a PlayStation publishing license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure that was actually going to be a parody and was curious to see it until Sony shut it down, wonder if this game will also be a parody. I think the 70 bronze trophies are a hint that it might be Wait a second... Sony shut that down? But all the asset flip shovelware obviously created for trophy whoring is fine?

To be fair, Life of Black Tiger actually had gameplay to it. Extremely horrible gameplay yes, but gameplay nevertheless. Getting 100% on that one took me 2 1/2 hours. Not only that, but Black Tiger also had the distinction of the late great Gilbert Gottfried talking shit about it in a YouTube video. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt the Dog Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Huh. Here I thought that "no golds required for plat lists" was just gonna be a PS5 thing based on FFXIV's PS5 list being the only example until now, but now we have trophy shovelware breaking the news that the requirement was just rescinded across the board. Can't say I'm too surprised trophy shovelware of all things broke the news. If anything, it's kinda weirder that more of these " games" don't go for trophy spam to further entice people with the prospect of massively inflating their total trophy count on top of their plat count.

Thrillhelm Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 On the good side, setting the requirement bar so low means indie devs have a better chance of getting their games released in the store. Even if that means a place for Stroke the Dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not the first. The Bronze Age was the first. Edit: The Bronze Age does have a hidden gold trophy, so what I wrote is wrong. Was too hard to spot among all of the Bronze Trophies.

Popular Post Knave21 Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 I think this is the last straw for me. I'm so sick of having to play (and pay for) this garbage just to try and maintain my spot on the leaderboards. It's not worth it anymore, not when there are like 15 of these 'games' coming out every week. We've officially crossed over into an age where anyone can buy their way onto the leaderboards by playing any of the 100+ 'press X for platinum' games that are out now (and the hundreds more that are surely coming). I mean, say what you will about Ratalaika and their easy plats but at least they were putting out actual GAMES that you could play. Back in the day I used to be proud of my plat collection but now my list is cluttered with this garbage and I'm ashamed to have so much of this trash on my profile. I only did it because I had fun climbing the leaderboards as I have been for 10+ years now, but as of today I can't in good conscious support this any longer. If it means I fall down the leaderboards, that sucks, but so be it. The trophy hunting landscape has changed so much because of this stuff and it's just not really fun anymore ? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
