i did it started a few games and played them 10 minutes or less... in some cases i earned a trophy or two (i.e. Crysis 3, Mirror's Edge) so i stopped from doing it... i don't want to see all games i own in my trophy log and i hide or delete all those games so here on psnp only games with 1 trophy or more earned are shown...

Nope. Around half my backlog is not loaded. Probably a little more than that actually. I have 422 games just on my PS4 and maybe 40-50 are demos and betas.

No, if I had done that, my completionist OCD side would drive me crazy (it's already bad the way it is..).

 

If I had everything add, my % would be at around 75-80% at best..

That depends on if you earn a trophy or not. If you add a bunch of 0% games, nothing happens to your completion rate, I am pretty sure.

Hey guys,

 

I was just wondering when you get a new game, whether it's a physical copy or from PS Store, do you add it to your Library right away? So that all games you have are here on the profile as well.

 

On PS4, I always add to my library immediately. But that's not the same as loading the game up so that the trophies appear.

 

So, I guess my answer is no, although I voted yes above.

For PS3 physical games yes, i try them and then uninstall everything except updates if they're small. For PS3 digital games my HDD is full so i don't try the newest purchases because i should remove something and i'm too lazy lol, i just made a spreadsheet with every single game i own and all uninstalled/unused games are in a different color. For Vita games i simply install everything, try them, then copy the data to my PC using Content Manager Assistant and to a folder and my external HDD, ready for future use.

I don't start them I usually just pop the disc in or install the digital copy so I can play them when I feel like it (Good job they added external HDD support) as there is nothing worse than keeping a game on your shelf then deciding to play it only to see a 20GB patch is required.

I do the same thing, although I misread the question and thought he meant codes for games and downloading rather than loading up a game to see it on a trophy list.

I don’t usually add games to my profile until I’m ready to play them. 

I do download the ps+ games right away but that’s a different story.

Actually, lately I’ve been thinking to add all my games but then I’d have like 75-100 0% on my profile and I don’t know if I’m ready to handle that.

While that's true, it also adds to the unearned trophy count on the trophy advisor (I need to keep that under 1000, and ya, I'm failing that for a couple of months now..).

 

And I don't like to have F's on my list.. when I have them there is just a reminder for myself that I need to start the game SOON..

 

Then there's also the average trophy rarity that I want under 35% (also failing for a while now..)

 

All those things that I'm failing now is because I'm playing quicker/easier games lately (as well as not Platinum/100% them..) because I'm rushing my way to 10k trophies to earn my Deus Ex Mankind Divided (it will be that milestone).. after I hit that milestone, I will start to clean up the mess that is my profile right now..

 

Ya, I'm a complicated guy about this kind of stuff :lol:
