Have you been looked down upon because of trophies?

[Juzota]

Yeah, I had a friend who played mainly GTA Online and he thought it was waste of time to play multiple games and get Platinums.

[Eraezr]

No.

 

The opposite has happened a few times, like when normies see I have the Fall Guys (original) platinum, they get impressed. Or when I party up with someone who's relatively new to gaming on PlayStation and they get wow'ed by my trophy list.

I’m a member of a trophy hunting forum….

 

….the prime reason this site exists is to facilitate people looking down on one another because of trophies! 😂

[ahmedelebiary]

Someone tried to belittle my Mayo trilogy platinums 😢 how could they disrespect the GOAT 😂❤️

[NamoPh]

Damn, a decade old necro. Impressive that the context has changed so much that a lot of the people who post now are completely removed from the original context.

[Valzentia]

At worst I get mild teasing from friends. Most people are either impressed or they just don't care

[Sunny]

If I had friends they would probably look down.

[JAK-KRIEG]

I can't speak to being looked down upon by non trophy hunters, but I know certain people I know like to have a laugh about and look down upon i don't have as many hard plats as they do. Om not gonna name and shame they know who they are and I certainly know who they are. 

[PalaceOfLove706]

My friends and family have been supportive and encouraging of my trophy endeavors and I love them to bits for it.

[KenjiCBZ]

I had someone disrespecting me for my 36 Fragments of Midnight Platinum, defining it shovelware

 

I think few Ratalaika games played for the fun of it are ok, actual shovelware to me is Jumping Pizza and such.

 

Other than that, I have only received compliments.

[ChocoDoc1]

I love my best friends they never looked down on me but one time I was trying to get the Ben 10 trophies on the PS4 because I also got the PS3 games because Ben was a part of me growing up and my best friend said while laughing 'You are still playing Ben10?!" and I get his point because Im close to 40s still playing kids games lol. I laughed and said "Dont judge meeee lol" and I added that I also bought the Ben10 briefs to compliment the game and we both started laughing ah fun times

[HuntingFever]

Sometimes I am but such people aren't worth my time so I just ignore them.

Fixed typo.

[Don_Chipotle]

Shovelware will be always a topic of talk between trophy hunters

[Joe Dubz]

Welp, none of my RL friends cares one bit for trophies. But no one looks down on me for my insatiable hunger!! 

 

Agreed with one of the prior people today in that the context has changed so much in the decade that has passed since this thread was created! A decade ago was a time before shovelware really existed, at least in its current form.

 

But hey, to each their own ofc. Not knocking it if it's your thing, as I know I fell prey to it a number of years ago when it first started!

[Tosmasta00]

I do remember years ago i did get some message on PSN about how i have so little platinums. But aside of that i never really got looked down upon. Part of it might because of the kind of plats i do have.

[ruexnimbus]

I remember getting my first platinum on FF7 Remake a couple years ago and my friend said something like, "Wow I only have the platinum on Sekiro and Bloodborne because I played them too much." I know what it takes to get those plats; very deliberate choices. Some kind of flavor of humble shame. Otherwise no one really cares.

[CelestialRequiem]

For having a lower volume of trophies, definitely.

 

But, those critiques are barely worth amusing. I don't only game on PlayStation, and gaming is far from my only hobby.

[D-E-U-S-X]

I think when it comes to normal players, they care very little about what or how much I play something.

My profile isn't perfect, but I can't think of many valid reasons to look down on it.

I should've mentioned I don't care what "they" think, just thought I'd mention my experience in case anyone had something similar or the same thing happen with anyone looking down upon them. Play what you want don't play to make other people happy, think a certain way about you or to please anyone, that pretty much can apply to most stuff in life. You'll never be able to please everybody no point in even trying.

[Laxus]

I can't be looked down since no one can message me on psn.

Edited September 11, 2023 by Laxus-0

[TheDarkKratos]

Nope.

[blacklight-nero]

I only talk about trophy hunting on this site, My brothers and I talk about games often but I hardly ever talk about trophy hunting I may mention it but they don’t really care.

 

As for being looked down upon for trophy hunting can’t say I have no, I would just ignore it anyway so would be someone’s waste of time. 

[ChiefMichigan]

Yup. My cousin roasted me at least once for my EZPZ stuff (both the okay stuff and the shovelware). 

And I deserve it, tbh. 

Plenty on this site think I'm trash whether they'll admit to it or not, and that is fine. 

[Edunstar84]

I don't even tell my real friends I play video games. (I have 2 friends)

[Ninjise]

My friends don't care, they might find a bit odd how I spent countless of hours just to get a simple bronze trophy, for them it's all about playing a game and once they are done they jump to another one, excluding one which also like trophies as me.

 

Now online I did have few "superior" trophy hunter beliltle me not having x trophy or z trophy, we all share a niche hobby so the idea being an arrogant prick just baffles me at times.
