Popular Post JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm just curious to know if all people on this website care about is Trophies or do you play games to have fun and not care if you don't achieve a Trophy. I've been looking at these forums for a while now and it's alright for people to like achieving Trophies however I'm surprised some people actually make a decisions on purchasing a game based on it's Trophies. Is it me but I think that's a bit extreme to do. Why can't people enjoy games without Trophies like video games used to be? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 Year Old Boomer Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Sometimes I don't pay attention to trophies like I 100%ed Crazy Taxi on my old account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Parker Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 Absolutely. Look at my completion rate, it is at something like 24/25% because I couldn't care less about trophies. I make my decision to purchase games based off whether or not I think I'll enjoy the gameplay, trophies never enter my mind. That being said, some people get more enjoyment out of popping trophies than they do from the games themselves. That isn't a bad thing at all, some people just like different things and there is no reason to look down on someone (not saying you are, OP) just because they enjoy video games in a different way than you do.

JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yep, I understand that Parker. You're right, people have their own ways to enjoy video games. No problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Freaker Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I think it's hard to ignore trophies. If you would turn of any notifications while playing, you admit they somehow get to you. It depends on what you take in account when you say "thinking about trophies". Some people will play entire games with a trophy guide next to them, they will grind no matter what. Some people play a game first and think about what's realistic to achieve, will they grind or not. Some people buy games that have high chance of a 100% with or without platinum Some people just go "ow I got a trophy, no idea how I did this" ... I try to ignore trophies a bit. When you buy Aab Animals, you can't give an excuse other then just wanting trophies. And that's not a good sign. If you play easy free to play game, alright. If you start paying money for games with easy trophies, you are not paying for a real entertaining game, but for unreal trophies (YEAH I SAID IT ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revvie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 No way. When I have a new game, I always look the game's trophy list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Demigod Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well this is a site about trophies, amirite? Anyways, yes, I still play games for the sake of gaming, trophies are just a bonus and a reward for completely finishing the games that I actually want to 100%. Trophy hunting for people is just a hobby, and like any other hobby people will buy what they want based on what they like. I dont think its extreme to want to buy Hannah Montanna for the sake of getting yet another platinum. Different strokes for different folks though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_Foxbat Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I agree with what Parker said. If a game is good then I play it, and if it isn't, I don't even waste my time. I have no interest in Aabs Animals, Sound Shapes, or PS Home. That being said, I always think about trophies. Even when I play a game on a different console like Mega Man X on the Super Nintendo. I'll finish the game and think "Damn, I would totally have 100%'d that game if it was on PS3." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I've been playing Destiny without giving two shits about the trophies, but I've actually got most of em naturally. I'll get the platinum at pretty soon I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I buy the games I want play / interested in playing. Trophies don't waver my decision though I collect all the base game trophies to get my money's worth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A game's trophy list isn't part of my decision of whether to buy a game or not but I do like to go for the platinum/100% on games though dood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ikenda Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 Trophies make games worth more. If you play Final Fantasy X remastered for 200 hours because you like to get his platinum means that you have a reason to get the maximum of the game and the price you paid for it. Trophies are a great inovation because of this. People how buy Hanna montana and Terminator Salvation just for the trophies they dont care about games anyway. They just dont know what to do with their time and money. And they have the right to do that no matter how stupid it is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HcG Clawz Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Normally i would have just complete the game once and never play again. but trophies makes me play the game more then just completing it once. But yhea i just buy any game that looks fun to me i sometimes do look at the trophy list before buying it just to look what i can expect but it doesnt really makes the decision if i buy that game or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I always check trophies before buying a game. Better safe than sorry - would hate an impossible trophy plaguing my profile. I also always have a guide up for collectibles, missable trophies and the roadmap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got both of em.. and yes i did buy them for the trophies but that doesnt mean i wont enjoy them. I am that type of guy that thinks you cant judge a game without even playing it. I actually had quite some fun in hannah montana and terminator salvation wasnt that bad either apart from some glitches and annoying enemies, but really i've seen worse games then this. Just because someone else says its a shitty game doesnt mean you think the same way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevieboy Posted September 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2014 When you buy Aab Animals, you can't give an excuse other then just wanting trophies. Does contributing 2% of the cost of the game to the charity of Headquarters for the Relief of Animals in Emergencies in Fukushima, Japan not count as a good enough excuse? So many people seem to conveniently forget about that fact when they talk about easy trophy games. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The majority of people here still enjoy the games even while trophy hunting. They're there to help you get the most out of the game and have something to show off, so it's hard not to go after them. For me, I get too absorbed in the games to pay attention, most of the time. Akiba's Trip is a good example. I got the 200 combo trophy while doing a story battle and happened to look at my meter when it was over 160, so I rolled with it. I will look at them after buying the game, but having a completed game on my profile isn't as important to me as simply enjoying myself. I love my shit profile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone else says its a shitty game doesnt mean you think the same way. Like i said people who do this have the right to do so. And if they even get enjoyment from those objectivily bad games then no one can blame them for it. Different people like different things. This is just how it is in life :-) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capreb Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That's the first thing I check is the trophies.. are they still obtainable? If not then I don't buy the game. I don't buy incomplete products, trophies for me complete the games, they add another dimension. Back in the day I'd complete a game once and be like, well that's it, time to go trade it in. Now it's well that playthrough is done, lets go spend another 40 hours finishing the trophies.. I get more playtime out of a game when I consider and play for the trophies. I get more value for money thanks to the trophies being there. Also it's something everyone can see, if completing a game on hard is hard and my friends can't do it.. then I go ahead and do it, I tell them and show them, just what a superior human being I really am. So really, trophies for me, are a really helpful way to show the puny human's around me, just how inferior at life they really are. Bragging rights, more value for money, fun (atleast for me) and something to collect for the hell of it. I absolutely consider trophies, a lot of people here don't though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
