It was shit on the first play through and now they keep adding DLC trophies as if anyone actually wants to replay it 10+ times. Fix the games broken and terrible combat systems and add the option to skip cutscenes and for the love of god PLEASE striking distance, stop adding trophies for every minor fucking update you do.

Because some people need attention. The world must know that this is a bad game and everyone needs to hate it instead of stop playing it. But yeah you see the negative affects of trophies. People force themselves to play a game again and again even when they hate it instead of moving on. Shitting on a game is one thing but shitting on a game because of getting new trophies? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying this game is seriously my biggest gaming regret of the past few years I actually had a good time with the game playing it once, but i 100% agree on your opinion about the dlc.it's more like a problem in general with adding these stupid trophies nowadays There are two sides, one side who says "free trophies why not" and others who feel commited to run these games again haha. I actually stopped doing additional runs for dlc trophies last time i did that was for TLOU 2 but i loved the game so this was no big deal. Callisto Protocol should in deed fix the combat issues and maybe add proper story content instead of these stupid additional runs.

Popular Post dark69knight Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I understand some of the players frustration about this because in my case its ruin my completion percent with a bad DLC that make you play the same game over and over again so yeah for me this is really annoying Edited March 16, 2023 by dark69knight 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oberlin1694 Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2023 God so many judgmental people here. The games bad, we all know it, but it had a decent trophy list. The dev’s however have added on FIVE additional playthroughs of their game, of varying difficulties, modifiers etc. possibly more due to needing to fully upgrade everything. Thats pretty shitty of them as they’re purely doing it so they can claim the game has ‘retained’ a consistent number of players. But even worse they’ve made barely any QoL changes to make repeat playthroughs bearable, combat is still absolutely dreadful for example. I doubt many would complain about the game requiring like 7-8 playthroughs to 100% if cutscenes were skippable, but they’re not and they easy add up to 30-40% of an actual playthroughs runtime 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kessarath Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Everything you wrote is true. Now we have to let go. I've been playing games for over 30 years and I've only been playing games for over two years doing 100%, it's time to stop it. There are some games where you can't do 100% anymore - Final Fantasy XV, or it's a pain - Catherine Full Body or annoying multiplayer GTAV (I dont like multiplayer modes) or just too hard (Wolfenstein II The New Colossus), and I want to play these games(GTAV PS5 again), ... this is the moment. I've been thinking about this for the last two days (because of Callisto Protocol DLC Trophies). I will be making most of the trophies. Sometimes platinum, but I won't force myself to do anything anymore (MGS2 Platinum on PSVita was hell). It's the games that matter, not the trophies. Trophies are like ideology, like religion. It can only be useful in some way if YOU are in control of the situation. Regards. PS1: Callisto Protocol is a garbage game in general. PS2: And I really still like trophies. 100% in DISHONORED 2 was WONDERFUL! Game much better than Deathloop(still very good), such games are 100% worth playing. For pleasure... PS3: And from today my new motto: Trophies for fun only! Edited March 16, 2023 by Kessarath 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying this game is seriously my biggest gaming regret of the past few years The average human spends roughly 79 years or 28,835 days, or 692,040 hours, on Earth. Let that sink in. What should be your biggest regret is spending time on meaningless shit like this instead of doing something productive, fun, or both. At least for the vocal majority here, this hobby turned into an unhealthy obsession. I genuinely hope sooner or later, everyone gets a wake-up call in some form. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you subjecting yourself to things you don't want to do? I'd understand if you had a 100% profile and felt a compulsion to keep that going, but you don't. So don't. Yeah don't play it again! That is of course the best option. I do think though in the case that the OP has something worthy of merit, especially after reading this post and all the other people on reddit. I can't say I am big fan of suddenly adding NewGame+ to a game many months after release, especially since I grew up in the era where all difficulty levels should be included at the box at launch. However this game, the devs do seem to be taking the piss a little bit. I mean the game has been out for 3 months and also already 3 "NewGame" trophy list modes added? That does seems a bit extreme, especially since people are complaining about the broken gameplay elements, and the devs are just adding new stuff to keep people engaged (as the reddit post suggests) Surely those modes could have been added all at once in one update or been in the game since release? Some of these updates were behind a paywall and not free. If you're not up front with early adopters of your game, I think it's quite normal for some people to be upset about it. I remember when I bought Aliens Fireteam Release at launch, and it was a similar issue, broken buggy mess for like 6 months or so (it's still not properly fixed) Sometimes waiting for a few months and seeing how the game pans out is your best option. I get annoyed when Killing Force 2 has another 10 minute trophy that needs popping, I can't imagine if I had to play the entire game again on a new harder difficulty setting. I'd probably be angry too. Edited March 16, 2023 by enaysoft 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SnowNinjaRaccoon Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2023 It's always the same discussion... Some people are pissed about pointless dlc trophies, others tell them to do not do it then... I also think this game overstays its welcome with all the pointless trophies forcing you to play the whole game again and I don't really feel like replaying the game but I will still force myself to do it. Why? And here is the point many seem to not understand: When you are working on a 100% completion account for years and then a game which you hoped would be fun, but isn't, keeps spamming pointless time-wasting trophies you have a reason to get pissed. And obviously nobody nobody forces one to go for the trophies but oneself, but from a completionist's perspective - one is forced to go for the trophies since not doing that would throw years of dedication to a 100% account away. So yeah... the life of a completionist is hard and pointless shit like those "dlc" trophies make it miserable. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TurtlePM Posted March 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2023 These replies to topics like these are starting to get disgusting. The OP is sharing his dislike about the way this game is getting new trophies, the kind of trophies he (and maybe other people) don't enjoy. Why is there always some kind of douchebags replying as he's wrong, he should quit, he doesn't have to go for those trophies... This is a Trophy Hunting forum, guys, if you don't understand that and you don't care about trophies like other people do, you're the ones who are in the wrong place. I don't have a 100% competition rate, does it means I to stop hunting trophies and 100% in games just because I don't have 100% in all of them too? What's your f*cking logic anyway? Now I understand there are people wanting to hide or delete games from their profiles: if anyone shares something trophy related in this forum, the first thing members do is to check their profile to see their "flaws" and shame them in comments - you don't have 100%, your profile is full of shovelware, you have hidden trophies, you have duplicates and autopops. I quit playing the game for now because I hate these kind of trophies, same as the OP, to complete a third and fourth time the same game with increased difficulty. I enjoyed the game but not to a point I support them to add these meaningless trophies every time they release a new update. @atomic_lama225 I understand your concern and my suggestion is leave the game in standby for now. You'll get those trophies eventually. Maybe you already completed the game twice or more "in a row" and you need a break. They will add DLC expansions later and most likely will be more trophies attached to those. Let them release those, come back to play them and try another run for another other difficulty trophies. Usually that's what I do in these cases. (Trust me, I've already 100% Gems of War +10 times already) ? 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireIvan Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I don't understand such butthurt about this game. Game is great, and it's about 6-7/10. But DLC with trophies is shit. So this is problem with DLC and trophies, not the original game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to be a new quality and a new AAAA standard (these are their words). I agree with you that the game itself is such a 6/10. The Season Pass, on the other hand, is a scam. Maybe the developers really think their game deserves 6+ playthroughs? For me personally, even without their promises, the game is monotonous and without atmosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best way to earn great experience in this game - to complete in once or twice. More will be frustrating. So these DLC makes my experience about this game much worse Edited March 16, 2023 by DireIvan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is missing the point that a lot of people consider this game a pile of shite. Could they know what they are getting into? No. To be honest I was actually persuaded into paying half the price by my friend to pre-order a copy for us both. Decided not to play it after screen sharing half of it together. Honestly, it's my best gaming related decision recently. (My friend is a huge survival horror fan and thinks that was the worst 2022 game he played) Would you want to spent a 30 hours to constantly replay the same boring ass game over and over? I would certainly not. And wouldn't. But it would still be getting on my nerves as it took me a lot to take my overall completion percent to 90. This game wasn't even designed to be replayable as half of the game are unskippable cutscenes or crawling though something. What is the point of adding this modes in the first place? I don't get it. I get it when the game is a live-service but this is just stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr_ Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The game is far from shit but it doesn't have any replay value. It's railroaded to death. The choice to plan and release new difficulty mode as new game modes is very strange. It was probably made early in development but they didn't account for it while making the game. Guns are mostly useless or not worth using as you can deal with everything except bosses with the baton. Flicking the analog and mashing R2 is fine for a playthrough but it gets very stale when replaying the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it when the game is a live-service but this is just stupid. Of course people knew what they were getting into. Instead of seal clapping because the devs made Dead Space, they should have looked at the game's budget, the Publisher's history, trailers etc. It was very obvious this was going to be a bad game mechanically. I finished Fortnite, Skylines and working through Star Ocean 4, 30 hours is literally a joke to replaying something for 1k hours. I'm not someone you want to argue that point on lol. I'll leave you with this: People choose to buy the game blindly. Whatever faults the game has is irrelevant, people still paid and supported those faults. That's the reality at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
