BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Trophy lists on PS4 were upgraded from the PS3 with the addition of Rarity % Tracking, allowing you to see exactly how many % of a game's owners have earned each individual trophy. Currently the % number is available in what is considered to be a 1 decimal number, ie. 16.2% of 71.8%. Xbox One users are seeing a new update has begun rolling out today, and the update has to do with the Achievement system. Xbox One users can now see Achievement rarities calculated in a 2 decimal number now, ie. 16.17% or 71.82%. Would you like to see PS4 get a feature like this? PSNP already uses a 2 decimal rarity % statistic.

Popular Post Walt the Dog Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2017 Shit, why not go to the next level and go down to three decimal places? Then when Microsoft inevitably responds with four, we'll go down to five, and the cycle will continue indefinitely until the trophy and achievement menus are a mess. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Welp, time to sell my ps4 for an xbox 1. /jk But yes, they should implement that feature. Not that the PSN rarity has any real meaning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shadiochao Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) I suppose it's helpful in some ways. I've sometimes looked at trophies with 0.1% and thought it wasn't particularly useful to know. But none of it is, really, without having any player numbers. But if PSN is going to copy any of Xbox's achievement improvements, I'd rather they start with the actual important stuff such as progress tracking and... well yeah, that's it.

boringname123 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think two decimal places is probably ideal, it seems to be the optimal balance between conveying the most information and being easily understandable, but the improvement is pretty marginal.

marvelboy10 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Microsoft: What's one way the Xbox can be ahead of the PS4. Employee: You know how Sony has the average rarity per player on the PS4 at one decimal. Microsoft: Yes we are aware. Employee: Well why don't we do the same thing but use 2 decimals instead of one. Microsoft: That's genius. This is what I picture happened at their headquarters. Edited February 25, 2017 by marvelboy10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonenCat Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I do like the sound that the rare achievement gives off and shows that pretty diamond. I always thought Platinum trophies should have an extra glimmering sound effect of some kind ;D A Final Fantasy victory song or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I sure wish we could ask the 98% of PlayStation gamers who aren't members of this site and don't give a rats ass if they'd rather know that some digital image some other people downloaded on their console shows 2.14% instead of 2.1%, like on their system. Can someone here make a kids react to this important issue?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I could give a shit less about the percentages, but I think what Xbox does with tracking in general is so much better. I load up the chivos for a game right, and it will say how long I've spent playing it, how many multiplayer games I've played, how many kills, etc. and it will compare them automatically with any friends of mine that have the game. That shit is cool honestly, and I'd dig it if PlayStation got it too, since I play there the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoSlash Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think showing values in points of our current level like PSNP does would be more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Honestly, I don't pay any attention to the rarity from PlayStation themselves, so it doesn't really bother me how specific it is. I assume since this site counts two decimal place, it would be pretty easy for PlayStation to implement this if they wanted to since they already have the data there. Even if they did, I still wouldn't use it. There are more interesting things they could implement to the trophy system such as a trophy progress tracker, similar to the one on Xbone. Now that would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/xbox-one-achievements-are-getting-an-upgrade/ Dude the way you worded this is making me laugh I really thought it was going to be a fancy feature. To answer your question though, I guess its handy to see to more decimal places. I'd rather have numbers of owners though, as would give us a clue on game popularity, I doubt we'll get it though as we rarely get proper games sales figures.

AJC3317 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 the thing that the xbox has that i really want sony to copy is their achievement tracking system, i.e when you need, say, 40 of something the xbox will tell you how many of those 40 you've collected. that would be very useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great. First example that springs to mind is Amazing Spider-Man 2, one of the few games I bothered to 100% again on Xbox. Playing through that and there's several trophies that require X amount of something like knock out 50 dudes silently. You play along and it's like "You've done 25% of this" and you can easily figure that means you've done 12 guys and you've got 38 to go. Helps a lot more than you'd assume honestly.

Beyondthegrave07 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It's irrelevant to me because most trophies are ultra rare or very rare. Hence, why this site's stats seem more meaningful because it doesn't include zero percents and instead, includes people who are actually actively playing games and earning trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftprophet Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think it's pointless. It really doesn't make a difference unless it's .04 or.05, but then again, just round it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quink666 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 What i would want that Xbox has is tracking in achievments. For example perfrom X 50 times you can check how many times you have done that by highlighting the achievments. No need for ingame trackers anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite comments from this thread for sure But on topic, I think it's kind of pointless for them to move to the two decimal system, but like many others said, it would be nice to have a progress meter towards trophies that require a certain objective to be created "x" amount of times or collect so many objects Edited February 25, 2017 by TristanBrown17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarciaFever Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Why doesn't Xbone just find a way to know how many games you have 100%? I get that they have it where it just shows how many total points you have, but in my pinion, it makes it sounds like I can somehow use those points to buy shit from Walmart for free.
