Carville87 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 don't think anyone said it but missable trophies that require you to play through the game again just some thing you didn't see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priere Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Although sometimes i hate Hard difficulty, but the most common thing that blocks me to get the platinum on a game is The online trophies, or A superboss in a game(i mean it, a superboss like a crazy mother f, but this is rarely what blocks me from getting trophies) and also Multiplayer trophies(unless it needs only 2, then i'm fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgcavazos Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I selected:- Long grind multiplayer trophies: I didn't mind about this one, until I played Tomb Raider and that was my turn of for getting that platinum. Another thing its when a multiplayer has no players anymore (hello there GTA IV). - Too many playthroughs: Like Dark Souls II which is a looooong game and though it is entertaining, I need 3 playthroughs for getting all of the magic so this will take me a while. Or when there's trophies like beat the game in 20 hours, then beat the game completing it at 100%, then beat the game with blah blah... - Too many hours required: Hello Final Fantasies! haha. I like FF but I hate they make me collect every accessory, every item, every weapon... seriously? I don't enjoy doing that, plus that will take me more than 150+ for a single game if I'm lucky enough. - Collectibles: I dislike searching for collectibles (except in BioShock Infinite, there I was searching everything like mad) in games such as Uncharted (it's a enjoyable game, but I really dislike searching for everything feeling a hollow in my stomach that yells boredom). Only do all of the above when I'm patient enough (that's how I got Heavy Rain's plat lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerJAZZ420 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I choose other, Luck based is terrible for me considering i probably have the worst on the planet. Which is why that Price is Right is sitting at some scrub % for now. I would say to many playthroughs/time put in. But considering i just did 4 30-40 hour runs of Tales of Symphonia in just over 2 weeks. i guess i'm fine with re-skipping the same text box over and over and over and over again [Why all games don't let you skip cutscenes is beyond me] So yeah. Luck based will do it for me. Theres a reason i dont have any MLB plats. Yet..... Edited June 16, 2014 by killerJAZZ420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Voted grindy mp and speedruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnoSensei Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Besides a game not catching my interest (which I wouldn't play to begin with), ridiculous online trophies and luck based trophies are my bane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorisFreakshow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Vita Ad-hoc multiplayer trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Vita Ad-hoc multiplayer trophies. Why? Ad-hoc is awesome (if you can play it by yourself that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevilSurvivor Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Too many Hours/Playthroughs for me it's the same: I only buy awesome games, so I know I'll gladly replay all of them.Hard Difficulties: If it's an RPG, I'll just grind until I'm overpowered, not a problem. If it actually requires skill, I'll try it time and time again, unless it's completely impossible (MGS4 anyone?) Collectibles aren't really a problem with trophy guides nowadays.Multiplayer could be worse, it depends on the trophies, but if I need to have great skill or great luck for a trophy, I just quit.The worst though is TimeTrials/Speedruns. I like to play the game when I want, how I want. Knowing that every little mistake can cost me time is a huge turn off for me, and I just don't have the patience required to do everything perfectly and as fast as possible.

will-guy-bebe Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I voted long grindy mp trophies but tbh I try and avoid game with mp trophies altogether unless they are very popular and can be boosted. But having said that games that can be solo boosted like tomb raider I dont mind doing no matter how boring it may get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstream88 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm not sure if there platinum blockers or not, since some of them I got eventually, but don't care for these trophies. Time Trials- I don't like being rushed through things and like looking around, Some Time Trials are fine as long as the time requirement is reasonable.Multiplayer- Mostly don't care for the level grinding multiplayer trophies, since those ones usually take forever. Also don't care for trophies that require multiple wins in a row or kill 10 enemies in a row without dying or something like that in a match. As for the others don't mind them, don't like luck based trophies either. Plus I kind of rather would just play Single Player anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorisFreakshow Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Why? Ad-hoc is awesome (if you can play it by yourself that is) Dynasty Warriors Next on the Vita... Try it solo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEstilingue Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I guess all the options are valid. Also those absurd online trophies. Get a bazillion wins, when you can't even find anyone online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrayEidolon Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I voted for too many playthroughs and multiplayer trophies but there have been instances that I was both able & unable to achieve the platinums in these situations. Too Many Playthroughs Darksiders - The first time I ever made the mistake of playing on Easy Difficulty first. I still need to do 2 more playthroughs and I can't get back into it. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix + I love this game so much, I don't care how many playthroughs I need! Not sure how I'll feel about Re:Chain of Memories though... Multiplayer Trophies Brutal Legend - I didn't even bother with MP. I liked the hack & slashing but not the RTS'ing... Any Assassin's Creed MP + When you get the hang of it, so much fun to be had! Obviously, it seems that whether these block the platinum for me depends on how much I enjoyed the game I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The biggest slowdown is if the game sucks and I dont wanna pick it up. I dont mind long multiplayer if the servers are alive and no boosting required. However if the only options is boosting because no one plays the game and its 100s of hours long I'm gonna say no to that. I'm surprised to see people hating time trials and speed runs... They're motivators to me I know right? The Mirror's Edge timetrials were THE BEST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyreAero Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I don't have a platinum "blocker" per se. If I enjoy a game I'll platinum it.The only such thing I guess I'd have to throw out there is bugged games. Particularly when they make trophy hunting cumbersome or in the worst cases render a platinum unobtainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful84 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I choose the first 4 options. I guess that's why I only have 13 platinums in 5 years, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hishomie1 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Grindy MP for me. All I need for Max Payne 3 is lvl 50, and I'm lvl 33, it takes quite some time. Of course, we can't forget about "Killing Machine" for Resistance 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Indrid Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Call Of Duty Zombie trophies. Hate is used to readily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrifterRake Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I will eventually get the platinum some way or another unless it's impossible to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximum Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think "many hours required" is the most blocker. I wouldn't dare leave my PS3 on 24/7, just for a Trophy. There is a Trophy for staying at the menu for X hours. I don't really remember what game it was ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
