I don’t really expect a genuine back and forth, and don’t get riled up by trolling or baiting, as I still find the process of the discussion fun, even without good faith on both sides. As I’ve said from the beginning - if you enjoy it, I’m glad - but I do think that if there is a genuine kernel of truth to your responses to others here, you should really consider whether you are actually enjoying it… …because when someone really is enjoying something, that is the only justification they would need - not all these “I play real games too” type statements. PS: You don’t argue logically. You argue paternalistically (italics not needed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da-Noob123 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Goodness gracious, I am happy when I break 1,000 in less than a year, doing that in a single month! 🤪 As long as you're enjoying it, that's what matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ashande Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Good on OP for setting a goal and keeping to it… even if it does seem arbitrary and requires wading through a mountain of trash to get there. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. The part where I’m less enthused is the constant excuses and statements about how the shorter plats are just fun little diversions and how they totes play real games, too. Yes, there’s plenty of grindy, time-intensive games out there. There are tons of games that withhold even a measly bronze between dozens or hundreds of hours of BS. But that’s not what the profile shows. It shows mountains of shovelware and/or 2 hour plats, while earning 1 or 2 trophies in so-called “real” games weeks or months apart… and those “real” games seem frequently to be left unfinished, many with only 1-3 trophies, implying you’re either hyper focused on just one ultra-grindy trophy that’ll take you years to complete or that your story is BS. Again, you do you… but don’t lie and attempt to obfuscate the issue. You have your goal, and are keeping to it: that’s great. Trying to make it sound more noble than it is, less so. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusDR Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I would say that’s impressive. But it’s not. I have played my fair share of buy for a platinum games. But it’s a bit overcrowded in the so store at the moment with these cheap shovelware and pay for platinum games. I hope you enjoy your journey, that’s what it’s all about. Take a look at my profile and you will see a vast variety of games with almost everything except (souls-like games - not my cup of tea) happy trophy hunting 🏆⭐️ Edited January 21 by FocusDR Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruexnimbus Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1000 trophies a month is certainly a lot. I wouldn't call it easy. I only hope you take some time to appreciate the work and enjoy the journey. I rushed through Samurai Maiden 'cause it was easy to do it but I regret not stretching it out more. There are plenty of "real" games I find about as exciting and lovely as digging a grave e.g. the Souls-borne series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got a little dicey this month with a slower market to open the New Year, but now I am poised to hit the 1k trophy mark for January, 2024, thus continuing the streak. Having this goal has kept me focused and also made me a better researcher looking for doable, efficient platinums, all the while doing the longer games I enjoy when I have time. Just thought I’d share this personal accomplishment with the trophy community, who in their vibrant diversity of perspectives, may or may not care, respectively. 1000 trophies per month? I only get to 30/40 when it's a good month and I can play a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the truly interesting games they’re missing out on. I’m sure you’ve missed plenty as well. I’m not unique. Wait what? Your situation is absolutely unique. No one else is doing what you're doing. People who only play one game play that one game because they enjoy the game. They don't want to play anything else, so they aren't really missing out on anything. And while people miss out on some games they may enjoy, it's not because they're forcing themselves to play games that they don't enjoy. It's because they're playing other games that they do enjoy and they simply don't have enough time/money to play everything. It's all very different than what you're doing. You're intentionally playing cheap shovelware you don't like and have no interest in just to watch number go up. Honestly, looking through this thread, it doesn't seem like you even enjoy what you're doing. It seems more like you were trying to do it for clout or something (that's the only reason I can imagine why you would make this thread). Which is weird, because trophy hunters generally look down on quantity over quality these days. With so much shovelware, getting a lot of trophies in a short time generally just means you have a lot of time and money. That's it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfyd Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I can't say I have any respect whatsoever for easy 1 minute platinums, in fact, I despise them and I wish they did not exist. It is essentially a legal way to pay for trophies. However I do respect a person having a goal and seeing it through, so a big well done on that front! I do not like your trophies, but I like your achievement. Props. The only issue with your achievement is, literally anyone can do it, most just do not have the time or money to do so, so do not. The achievement in itself is not even remotely impressive. Your dedication and expendable income is, however. Edited January 21 by dfyd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creasy007 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This all reads like someone proudly showing off that they watched 1,000 movies in a month. However, most of them are irrelevant short films that lasted 60 or so seconds each. Bizarre. It's your money and free time though, so whatever makes you happy, but yes, this really isn't the applause-worthy accomplishment I think you were hoping it would be welcomed as. I personally find nothing remotely appealing or impressive about those shovelware titles. I tried some a couple years back and it felt cheap, painfully boring, and a huge waste of money. But hey, you do you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck-energies3 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I got a PS4 in 2022, and I also have more the 1000 trophies. Quite an achievement when you think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about investing your time in something you enjoy. You will never hear those people say "If I could I wouldn’t play COD/Fortnite, I would play something else". Because this makes no sense. By the way I'm gonna apply this very same principle to myself immediately and stop arguing with you. That's an extremely poor use of my time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trampgav Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 So we have learned that everyone values trophies differently. Some value quantity, some value UR, some value difficulty, some value times. Most important thing for everyone to remember- nobody gives a flying shite about your trophies or your opinions. According to the comments we’re all snobs, gatekeepers, time wasters, money pits, ignorant, arrogant, we take it too seriously, we don’t take it seriously enough. It’s like my grandma always says ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say then go fuck yourself and remember nobody cares about your trophies or your opinions on trophies except you so do what you want’. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon most people don't care enough to point out when they see shovelware. It's just passing this off as some major accomplishment is what is bringing people out. OP really just wanted attention and they got it. Honestly, this whole thread has been hilarious from start to finish, so I enjoyed it. The funniest bit is they don't want to region stack cause that's "fraudulent", as if that's somehow the righteous line they won't cross.

Woopa777 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So when you reach your goal, then what? Are you gonna retire from shovelware and immediately lose your 1st place? Meaning, all this time and money was spent only to be 'canadian champion of no stacking trophy whoring' for a few days at best. Or are you gonna defend your title, being forced to play shovelware for ever and ever and ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt the Dog Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 12 hours ago, DrBloodmoney said: Let's take an arbitrary rarity for the sake of context - 80%. (Note - I'm not saying that there aren't good, "real" games with rarities above 80% - there demonstrably are - but I think we can all agree that while not every game above 80% rarity is a shovelware, all shovelware IS above 80%... and with as many shovelware lists as there are, they do make up an overwhelming percentage of that commonality bracket, by sheer volume.) I - a person who doesn't care about rarity at all, have 609 platinums, with 43 of them above 80% rarity: i.e. about 7% of my platinums are above 80%. You have 2101 platinums, with 1855 of them above 80% rarity: i.e. about 88% of your platinums are above 80%. Out of curiosity, I decided to do this for myself and it came out to 308 plats above 80% rarity out of 891 total plats, giving me a percentage of ~34.6%. Not terribly surprised at my result considering that while I don't play too many shovelware and other EZPZ targets now (discounting EZPZ URs, of course ), I kept it up for a good while due to my habits back on the Xbox 360 (being at the right age to play kids' games back then was a hell of a gateway to the achievement/trophy whore lifestyle). Not entirely sure when I stopped near-entirely outside of the occasional burst for a trophy event on another site (mainly March 2020, December 2020, and especially October 2021 where I even dabbled in the Breakthrough games a bit), but AFAIK, it was sometime after the March 2020 burst. I have played the odd EZPZ here or there just due to it either having easy trophies for an off-PSNP event that would be significantly harder/more tedious otherwise or some of it being in my backlog (and as it stands, I'm gonna have to get through a decent chunk of Gamizumi/Rata VNs at some point since I bought quite a few of them prepping for the next trophy spam event only for the glut of trophy apps to make such a concept even more absurd than the last one I was in), but I'm glad I've more or less just moved on to UR hunting and backlog clearing instead. Gives me more joy out of the hobby and it feels nice seeing stuff I either care about or at least had to actually invest time into when I look at my profile.

starcrunch061 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Madness! That's a LOT of trophies! Congrats! I love personal trophy goals. My own is the following: I've gotten at least one trophy, every day, since July of 2015. That's 8.5 years now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
