Would you start a game where the platinum is unobtainable?

[Hemiak]

Sure if I wanted to play it. I played Fenix Furia a few months ago and 3 trophies are bugged and unobtainable. I still tried every possible workaround I could think of but I couldn't get them to pop. I knew it was likely going in though so it's not a huge deal. 

 

Also, it isn't unobtainable per-se, but I started Necrodancer knowing full well I wouldn't go for 100%. I probably played 160+ hours and really enjoy the game, but have no interest in spending the time to actually plat it. 

[EuclidSB-85]

Nope. There are no shortages of games with obtainable platinums that I haven't played yet, with new games being released all the time. If I haven't started a game by the time the servers are shutdown it's probably not that important to me in the long run.

Of course, ¿why not? The more trophies i get, the better.

If it was a game I really wanted to play, then yes definitely.  Like The Last of Us Part II, etc, etc.

 

If it was a game that I was only marginally interested in, I would probably pass as I have a healthy backlog of games as is.

 

And let me add, I see it no differently than games that are really difficult and/or time-consuming in which I have no plans to get the Plat like Red Dead Redemption 2.  In no way would I avoid playing a game because of that.

[JABing]

I absolutely would. I try to plat every game that I play, but don't always succeed. Like many have said, I'm never happy about it when I can't get a plat, whatever the reason (either by 'unobtainability' or just my own skill limitations).

 

I also don't both with an "alt" account - I have my account, and I play my games on it. Trophies give me some extra goals when playing the games I want to play, but I don't even usually look at the trophy list until I boot up the game for the first time.

This is simple

 

"NO" 

[El Duderino]

Of course I would! I'm a gamer, not a hoarder.

[RoxasOnFire]

I do it only to break my obsession with trophies. I'd rather play an unobtainable plat than a game without one (I know, I'm weird). Currently working on not finishing Ninja Gaiden Sigma+2, even though I have so much hope that I can get the plat. And yes I'm aware its "impossible ".

Of course, for example i played Fuel years after the server shutdown.

[Mina]

Yes I would do that, I’m not prepared to limit myself just because I cannot achieve a platinum. I will play anything that looks interesting and whatever trophies I can’t pop...oh well ?

I agree completely. Alternate accounts are the testing ground for a lot of games for me. I test some games to make sure they are polished, but more importantly I test them to see if I like them. I only represent games I enjoyed on my main account and that are able to be completed. They don’t have to be ultra rare or even difficult, they just have to be fun to me.

[Juzota]

Absolutely. I've never aimed for a 100% completion profile.

[timpurnat]

No, I want to have as high completion as I can and I still have plenty of incomplete games on my list from before I started trophy hunting that I won't even try to complete like elder scrolls online(I regret starting this game so much, I don't like it and it's just to big of a grind for me lol?). I would be too annoyed by the fact that I can't get 100% and if I really liked the game I would just play it on my alt account.

[Haihattelija]

Definitely I would do so. I play games to have some fun and trophies are just a nice little bonus or challenge. I'll collect them if I enjoyed the game enough.

[Brightblade76]

Yeah, but only when I'll feel the need to f*ck up my profile and break free from completionism, until that moment, I'll probably play it on an alternate profile, if I want to play the game that badly.

[AndyKazama]

For sure. I'm happy as long as I can get my completion in that game above my profile's completion of 60.11%

[Copanele]

Definetly! Games first, trophies second, completion third. I mean it might as well not have trophies. If a game is good for me then i am all set

[DarkSoleride]

I really don't mind to be honest. I know i have some games still on my Vita that i want to play which have either glitchy or unobtainable platinum's or 100% lists but i am okay with that. The ones i do boot up and enjoy i will go for the plat

[Deep_Space_5D]

Of course I would...on my gf’s account ✌?

[YROSHIKU]

Yeah sure as long as I would be interested in the game I would go for it ?. I have a lots of games that I know I'll never get the plat for and as much as it bothers me in some cases, I don't regret starting any of them ?.

Not at this time in my gaming career.

Did you really just call trophy hunting a career? ??

You know it buddy! I plan on gaming well into retirement and until I die. ?

[Sezzuyasha]

I wouldn't. I'm not the kind of person to go for as money trophies as possible and playing games because the trophies are easy, but to complete every game I play. And not being able to complete a game not because of a lack of skill but simply because there is no possible way to do so, would trigger me so damn much
