Sigma999 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I know that there is like almost 6 million copies sold of MGS 4 at the time however here in the PSNP there is around 130.000 owners tracked. Why is such a small sample compared to other games that sold around as much like Uncharted 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Parker Posted October 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2014 The trophy patch came years after the game released so many people never bothered updating and earning trophies whereas something like Uncharted 2 had trophies at launch. If you're not aware, PSNP tracks people based on their trophies earned, we can't track games without trophies. Parker 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma999 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I didn't knew that MGS 4 was trophy patched later years of launch has i started the game with trophy set already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The game released on June 12th, 2008 and the trophy patch released on August 6th, 2012 so there was over 4 years between release and the trophy patch. If the game had been released with trophies there would be many more owners tracked here. Parker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capreb Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Imagine how rare the mgs4 would've been if the game was released with trophies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LianshiSaonji Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have MGS4 on myshelf, along with the HD collection and Rising.I just haven't got around to playing through them all, yet. I want to at one point though! I've seen one too many MGS avatars/gifs in these forums to tempt me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razza Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I also fall into the category of owning this game when it was first released, played it multiple times but haven't picked it back up when the trophy patch was released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFUxDxD Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I also bought this game when it was first released. Played it then. Haven't touched it since trophies were patched in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotakibono Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've been reading through numerous threads on MGS recently (on account of MGSV's pending release) and I've realised that there are many young gamers who've never played the MGS series. It something that makes me feel two things: old and perhaps out of touch with what games are "cool" these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I also got this game when I bought my PS3 off a guy in 2010. It's in my backlog, I'll get to it someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YonahFuriae Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Played it the first day it came out, and completed it near 20 times the first weeks after the release, games didn't had trophies yet, that was back in 2008, I think a month after MGS4 came out they implemented the trophies on PSN, but for MGS4 the pach wouldn't came out until 4 years later in 2012. I want to play it again, I always wanted trophies on this game, but first I'll play the HD Collection, I have other priorities atm since I've played every Metal Gear so many times (and I'll never get tired of it), but it will be before the release of MGSV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm1276 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It took me a while after the patch released to really get back into it. But as far as the number of owners tracked here I would say they traded the game long before the patch released and probably have little interest in buying it again.

TheIncinerator1 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's really thanks to the patch coming 4 years in, it was a bit too long of a wait to implement the trophy feature. Granted it's a pretty minor thing since not everybody cares about stuff like that, but it would've been nice to have early on, and it would've at least given somewhat of a more accurate tracking number now.

Senor_T_Dub Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I played in when it launched and even got the Big Boss emblem. Tried to play it again after the trophy patch and while I still loved the game, I couldn't motivate myself to do all the emblems again. Maybe soon! Though likely not.

Jelly-Kones Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm currently working my way through the game, the last trophy I need for the platinum is for collecting all of the ipod tracks.... but this will probably involve another 4-6 play throughs for all of the different emblems I need! Haha. I love the game though so its not a chore for me. I play it on and off every few months and complete another play through and then put it down again. Eventually this platinum will be mine! I already have the Platinums for MGS2, MGS3 & PW ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wizardskey Posted February 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hideo Kojima still deserves major props for this... Who patches in trophies 4 years later to please fans? It's unheard of. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly-Kones Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well I finally got it, and it was hard! Out of the 32 plats I have managed to get, this is definitely in the top five for hardest! Oh a little off topic... but could someone tell me how to add your trophy card onto your messages automatically? I seem to just have hyperlinks! haha (sorry I'm new to posting on Forums!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Have it with my Legacy Collection. Haven't loaded the game yet. When I am done with MGS2 and 3.....then I will move on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had trophies then I would have probably gotten a platinum on my old account. But now, with so many new games i still need to play and real life stuff i can't find the time do play through again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dying fans that played the game again for purpose of trophies and also people like myself who seemed to enter the train too late and didn't experience the MGO and already got the trophies to collect to begin with on their first run.

youthCAT1590 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I first played MGS4 around 2010 I believe (would've played it earlier if I had a PS3 when it launched) and finished it 100% and years later when that fabled trophy patch finally came I told myself I wasn't gonna do it since I had already put in so much time into it already. But then I eventually caved and Platted it. Damn my MGS addiction. lol but I'm glad I did. I love seeing that shiny MGS4 plat in my trophy cabinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsy1 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I haven't played the game since January 2010 since I got all 40 emblems, so that's about six years now. Kind of annoyed I have to do it all over again for the iPod trophy. orz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
