SINISTER-SINS_ Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 1 hour ago, grimydawg said: That's because of the quality of the games. That has nothing to do if games have a platinum or not. Apparently it does now. Poster after poster have said as much Steiner. Take all the people from this site and multiply that by however much around the world because it ain't just the ones from here that care about a platinum. Quality comes first but just like in any game everything else about it factors in. Story, characters, length, replayabilty and now trophies as well. You guys sound like these are new to you or something. Its a part of gaming now and it ain't never going away. All the more reason why these developers and publishers should treat it like part of the whole package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all fine to act cocky when things are going good but don't forget just a few years ago Sonic seemed on his last tired legs and during that period I'm sure Sega was worried about every last sale for their Sonic games. They're not in the clear yet as Forces could easily suck and knock the franchise right back down to Boom levels. In the end its foolish to assume their games will always sell because its Sonic. Do that enough times and you piss off the real fans who aren't just casual players and then eventually your reputation is so shit even the casuals know to stay away. If Forces sucks, hopefully Sega will wise up and hand off future Sonic games to the Mania crew. Boom sold like shit because it was a spinoff series, and was console-exclusive to the Wii U, an already low-selling console. Forces will sell well because it's the first real Sonic game for PS4/Xbox One. Edited May 22, 2021 by InsaneEnergy3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To boycott a game for such a silly reason is beyond me, to me just knowing I have 100% of the game is enough for me in that aspect, but on top of that it isn't that long to begin with. Whether or not this game was worthy of a platinum trophy regardless of lesser games actually having them is debatable in my eyes. In reality while some of the trophies are somewhat difficult, there really isn't that many things in the game to justify a platinum and I'm okay with that. Though I might just be a bit biased since I wrote the guide for it. ? Honestly I'm just really excited for Sonic Forces now.? We should show support for these games to show Sega what games we really want. I feel as though that's one of the biggest problems in the industry today, people buying shitty games because of perks that come with playing it rather than games that are worth their time and actually fun. If you actually want to play the game, PLAY IT! But don't blame Sega for not catering to the niche. That's nobody's fault but the player. If you really NEED a platinum, I'm not 100% sure but if there's a physical release those sometimes tend to have different list, but I wouldn't wait for that or hold my breath. TL;DR Its a waste of time to focus on things like this. Play it or don't. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndresLionheart Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 While I would play a great game even if it doesn't have a Platinum, I wouldn't play a shitty game because it has one. Fun comes first, as it should be for everyone. It does affect my choice in the case I'm on the fence about playing a game or not. If a decent game has a Platinum that is not that difficult to get but I'm unsure if I want to play that or something else, that Platinum can make the difference. I kinda get disgusted when I check the highest ranked Platinum owners and see shit like Hannah Montana on their lists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realm722 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm not someone who is a hardliner when it comes to games having platinums or no platinums. I have a fair amount of sole 100%'s on my resumé (Brothers A Tale of Two Sons, Agatha Christie Murders, The Unfinished Swan, Tiny Brains) and I recently bought Risk of Rain which I'm going to play soon even though it has no platinum. That being said, I want to finally play a Sonic game again and yet this being on sale for $15 at the moment is still holding me back because of that one huge missing factor. I know what people will say in that "if it's a great game, who cares!" and I do believe that's fair but I hesitate spending more than $10 on games without platinums. Usually gotta be $5 or below even. I'll hold off for now but I hope in the future this happens less since it undoubtedly makes at least a few people hold back on deciding to make a purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettyBoy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) The 100% does take effort by the looks of it so a platinum would be deserved for this game if so. Edited March 19, 2020 by Brettyboy888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I wish Sonic Mania Plus would of had its own list or at least add on to Sonic Mania. The other characters remind old school Sonic fans of Knuckles Chaotix, a bit of an obscure game that made it's way onto the SEGA 32X, which was a flop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand most people here play games to earn trophies, but saying you're not buying the game because it doesn't have some little icon to give you is the strangest thing. When the fuck did gaming become a checklist for you? I can't wait to play it. I'll be getting it day one or soon thereafter. I love me some Sonic. Likely when their brain had rushes of dopamine when they 100% a platformer on n64. That's what did it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
