Popular Post QueazyJoe Posted March 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2015 I live in Brazil, and when I was a kid my family didn't have much money, so games were very limited. What happened was that I started to look at every nut and cranny in the video games I had, and eventually completimg them 100℅ became a necessity. Later on, I bought a ps3 and when trophies came along, I had to catch em all. I wonder what got all of you to go trophy hunting? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half-H3ro Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Because they put the trophies there in the games to get?I just like getting Platinums really... It started off slow when I was at school - me and friends would try and see who had the most, and it escalated from there.

I must've completed Crash Bandicoot 2, Spyro 3, Jak 2 +3, Ratchet & Clank 3, and Kingdom Hearts 1 + 2 dozens of times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post edu_gamer Posted March 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2015 I found trophies to be really rewarding, they completely changed the way I approach games, before trophies I played my games once to enjoy it's campaign on medium or easy, and never cared about the challenge or the side missions, I ended up realizing that I wasn't getting the full enjoyment of my games, then trophies came and gave me the equivalent of a virtual cookie for my accomplishments, so after that I kept playing my games as I always did, but after beating them it was trophie hunting time, which extended my games life and made me enjoy them even more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I completely agree. Trophy really are rewarding and, on my opinion, enrich your experience because you're seen everything the games has to offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildstwawberries Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 0always thought plats were super hard to get for some reason. I love visual improvment and when i got my first, i got addicted. It solidified when i went back to my favorite ps2 games and platinumed most of them. From then i just try to get all the content out of my favorite games That beautiful sound of the trophy popping & showing. and the feeling of success on 100% or getting a platinum. O god i have a friend who makes fun of me for this They just dont get it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizz-dono Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 After realizing that there was achievements for doing other tasks in the game that gave you a "prize" I became hooked. Hunting give me a satisfaction of knowing that I got everything completed in the game & didn't miss anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonemankane Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 it started for me when I began to play new ps3 games that had trophies, for most games I like I done a 100% of it if it has dlc I won't do the dlc trophies unless I like the game a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuckie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I had a PS3 before trophies where out then when cod W@W came out in November 2008 it was the 1st game I owned with trophies, I decided to try and get them all it took me just over a week and I enjoyed it and just never stopped since I guess. Crazy to think I was 13 then now im a month away from being 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryToxteth Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 For me personally, I feel you can't claim to have "beaten a game" until you have earned the platinum. That's how my trophy hunting began. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk746 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It all started well before trophies came out. Back when simply exploring EVERYTHING was simply fun to do. Specifically with my first RPG game I ever played, being Chrono Trigger. I abused that game while trying to find everything it could simply offer. Then came Abes Oddysey on PS1, where every new game resulted in finding new secret areas which I simply had to find them all... eventually Later on, I discovered Final Fantasy 7 a few years later. Beat it dozens of times while finding everything. Then I got the guide from my uncle, after looking through it, I realized there was only very few things I didn't find out through normal play. So excited, I would brag about my exploits, like having finally felled Emerald Weapon, unlocking the secret characters, as well as maxing out the stats of my 3 favorite characters. Of course back then, face to face bragging was the only way possible, and proving your exploits was a bitch. Jumping forward roughly 10 years, I bought myself an XboX360, and achieved 50k gamer score withing 6 months.... which broke my console. Then I was gifted one, and it too broke down after about 3 months. Finally, I decided to try PS3 out, and loved the concept of a special symbol showing that you achieved all trophies within the game, rather than a large number with no final outcome.... Also enjoyed how it never broke down on me.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hmm. Not sure really. I think it's more of a challenge for me. Like the dev's put them there to say "we bet you can't do this" and I'm like "challenge accepted mate". Having said that, I don't try to plat games once I start to find them boring. But as long as I'm still enjoying myself, or the grind isn't too bad, I'll go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condemned09 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 After playing dead space i love when that trophy pop sound and i love the bronze ,silver , gold and especially the platinum trophy to be honest i like trophies better than xbox achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeltorkid Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I used to complete my Snes games to 100% but after that console generation I didn't have that much games that had that sort of visual completition (I didn't have a PsOne or a N64. I had a Gameboy Color and then I jumped to pc until I was able to buy a PS2) so I kind of lost interest on completing them. Then, a year after I got my ps3 I was playing the Saw Game and when I realized I was only a trophy away to getting a platinum, I gave it a shoot just to see what would happen. After that, I just couldn't stop giving it a try for the challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 For me personally, I feel you can't claim to have "beaten a game" until you have earned the platinum. That's how my trophy hunting began. ^ This. I always liked to complete my games 100% well before trophies came along. After they did, well, it was just an easier way to keep track of what I had done (that and they provide you some more little errands to do, which extends your play time). Even if some trophies are too long/hard, If it's in my power, I will get them. I just won't waste any time on games I don't like. Trophy hunting is only for games I like.

After that, a friend of mine gave me a ps1 (and he bought a ps2) and them I started trying to get all the gems in Crash 1, 2 and my favourite Crash 3. From that point on, it escalated to the lego star wars games on the ps2, and finally Platinum trophies on ps3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm not. I don't "hunt" trophies any more than I "hunt" the game ending. I consider the trophies a secondary guide after any story ends and if I don't get them all before I get bored, then I move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
