Popular Post FarSideOfSaturn Posted July 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2017 No one should ever feel ashamed of doing something they love. So what if someone has some easy platinums? They still sat there and played the game, they still put effort in, they still had the motivation to work towards whatever their goal is. As for @patrickogorman19. So let's assume I take your comments personally. Are you going to sit there and tell me I'm not a trophy hunter despite restarting Skyrim from scratch three times over after it glitched out on me pretty far into the game? Despite the fact I sat driving mile after mile round an oval track in GT6 until I'd reached 7,903? Despite S Ranking every mission in The Phantom Pain using my own solutions and racking up over 400 hours on my way to the platinum? None of those tasks, which took pretty extreme amounts of motivation, patience and in the TTP case, skill make me a trophy hunter because they didn't result in an ultra rare platinum? Let's take a look at my ultra rares. I have amatuer radio operator from Metal Gear Rising: Revengence in there. Do you know what I did to achieve that? I sat and listened to most of the radio conversations about a story I was enjoying anyway. By your logic, me sitting there and doing nothing somehow brings me closer to being a trophy hunter than any of the above because I got an ultra rare. Would you care to rethink, because your reasoning is all over the place. Also Patrick, what happens if I achieve an ultra rare platinum but so many people earn it, it becomes rare? Is that it? I'm no longer a trophy hunter because other people happened to play the game? I have to go earn a new ultra rare platinum to prove my worth? And finally, I've seen some people complain about the quality of the easy games they've platinumed. Yet they sat down and played it anyway knowing full well they probably wouldn't like it. To sit there, and play something you don't like because you love trophy hunting...that's pretty fucking admirable if you ask me. If you're willing to suffer for it, that's above and beyond and I applaud you. I'm glad most of us are here to talk about and celebrate doing what we love without judgement. We're trophy hunters, and we're fucking awesome. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingstone7728 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Oh trust me... The ones I'm moat proud of aren't even the hardest ones.. It's ones like leisure suit Larry (terribly broken game) where despite the game crashing every 10 mins I stuck with it and finished it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if someone puts a tonne of effort in to a game like The Last of Us Remastered which requires a minimum of 3 playthroughs and a dedication to the multiplayer, that doesn't make them a trophy hunter? But someone who can sit through a pointless grind for an ultra rare is? What kind of bullshit logic is that!?

Carol Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 People shouldn't live their lives worrying about what others think or say. You should live your life worrying that you are being true to what you feel in your heart. You should only feel ashamed of your trophies if you got them to please others and not to please yourself. About hard games and ultra-rares, I'm just going to leave a link to another comment of mine, since I don't like to repeat myself: It's perfectly possible to have a decent profile, that you are proud of, without having very hard games! Just play what you like and care about your games! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DamagingRob Posted July 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2017 Oy vey. This topic again. I'm not even going to bother with a long, thought out post this time. But I'll say this: Kingdom Hearts games are harder and more time-consuming than my soon to be 2 rarest Plats(Starhawk and Transformers: Devastation). Rarity is just another means of measuring your e-peen. Nothing more. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdhight Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 One part of me likes ultra rares. When I earn one, it feels better than earning a common. But the reality is, difficulty is only one of the things that can make a trophy rare, and not even the most important thing. It has a lot to do with the popularity of the game, and also with how easy/inviting the game is to sample for a short time. C'mon — Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is ultra rare; that doesn't make it some badge of honor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickogorman19 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Your have taken it the wrong way sure I enjoy easy platniums like ratchet and clank I love the franchise.But I Like having a good rarity rating.Don't why I'm the evil whitch here I said nothing wrong just a opinon that has been taken to seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooruPT Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Eeh. All this talk about who qualifies as a trophy hunter and who doesn't. If you care about trophies and enjoy earning them, you're as much of a hunter as the guy sitting at the top of the leaderboard. Bit like a sport, really.

I think you're trying to act like a hotshot about 3 ultra rates yu have... When at least 2 of them have nothing to do with difficulty.....sports game don't attract trophy hunters they attract casual fans... And most sport games feature trophies that youd have to be actually trying to get them rather then occurring naturally... And 2nd I saw a platinum for naughty.bear which I can say from experience is one of the worst games ever made... Maybe they patched it after I played but it was laggy the scoring system was random and unbalanced and it was overall a crap game.. So I can see why not very many people got a platinum... It's great that you got them... But don't come on here acting like you're better than else thats ridiculous Edited July 24, 2017 by Livingstone7728 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdruA Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I dont even bother about rarity, theres just way to much factors that influence the stat My rarest plat (wipeout hd) isnt rare at all, its just that the game was 1 of the free ones after sony went down, a lot of people got it, played it a bit, and forgot about it or didnt like it, meaning the trophies got rarer The ps4 version on the other hand isnt rare cause probably only the people who liked it, bought it, and platted it, meaning rarity goes down (or % goes up) Thats why its a stat that doesnt matter to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seemed to luckily think that everyone should do their own thing but an alarming number of people think that other people should only have the games on their trophy list that they deem "worthy". I myself have gotten a handful of hate messages on PSN from trophy hunters of this very site telling me I should be ashamed of my easy games, my trophy list is cringeworthy and nice things like that. It went on to the point where I actually had to block them because ignoring them still made them send one message after the other. It's the main reason why I'm not going to be active on this site any longer and one of the reasons I'm switching to Xbox and keep away from achievement hunting there. It's very sad that we have come to this. I have both Aab's Animals stackables, double platted My Name is Mayo and have a slew of "easy" games where all trophies were well over 50 percent earned among game owners. It is worse on Facebook. People seem to take offense whenever someone double/triple stacks a game like The Walking Dead. So what? If they don't like that then that's their problem. That isn't going to stop me from enjoying the games. Then you have people like CARLOHAS, KingSuperOne and Rustic Trophies sson on Youtube who take offense on people who play a slew of "easy" games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's an increasing part of this community that works against each other rather than together. You only belittle people and what they do in order to get some sort of satisfaction out of it. Wether those people don't have anything going on in their lives but trophies or they are just unhappy with themselves in general. A happy person doesn't have to put someone down or try to spoil something for another person that is fun to them. There's nothing wrong with easy games and stacking them. Gaming and sports are the two things that have always brought people together for ages and I don't get why more and more people try to devide these communities for idiotic reasons like that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfBambam55 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) am I the only one who reads a thread like this and imagines us all as old farts in a retirement home saying stuff like "I helped thousands of people with gta iv back in the day, so there"...as we fumble to adjust our beer bottle glasses, hearing aids, and awkwardly mash ps69 controllers calling each other by our psn nicknames complaining about "kids these days don't know $hit about gaming...back in the day"..and so on...life is short and gaming can be a great hobby imo but all this stuff just seems so trivial in the grand scheme of things...I don't consider myself a trophy hunter in the sense that the way I play video games is simply a reflection of my personality...hasn't changed since I first played when I was a kid and hasn't really changed with trophies...yes, my views on gaming change (and most drastically since an anonymous online aspect was introduced many years ago) with my own personal evolution but I like to think that currently my interest in this site comes from the social media aspect combined with a community that shares the same hobby as me...video games...no better place to find like-minded people as far as I'm concerned... have met some amazing characters I would never have met otherwise and have had some cool, often thought provoking discussions I never would've had without it...and no, I can't say every post is epic or that I get along with everyone here...such is life... threads like this are a good self reminder of what really matters to me...couldn't care less about how anyone might judge me based on my trophy list, my stamp collection (don't actually have one), my musical or artistic talent, or any other hobby I may have...I find it kind of funny that a trophy list can be so important to some that there's a need to create a separation between other people over it but to each their own...no judgements here if that's the case...we're all part of a community that tries its best to share a common interest and bring our own personal opinions based on our own experiences to the table...gotta love all the personalities around here even if we don't all get along or agree on the same things and gotta respect where everyone is at in terms of their own ever-changing state of evolution...my two cents...

And I think it's healthy that some trophies matter more to some people. I remember when I was a kid, some of my friends and I were into football cards for about 2/3 of one summer. One guy just wanted to collect all Steve Young cards available, while another wanted to trade for an all-time dream team with the best (according to him) player at each position. Part of the fun was that not everyone valued the same card the same way. Just as part of the fun of trophies and this site is that one guy figures a plat is a plat, while another respects ultra rares or unobtainables. That's healthy. That's good. It would take away something enjoyable if there were an algorithm that gave an absolute, mathematical value for each trophy, and everyone had no choice but to agree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
