pyrotempestwing Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I’m a trophy hunter that just wants to get to the highest trophy level I can while playing games I find interesting. I also don’t have the patience for extremely time-consuming trophies (unless I really enjoy the game). Of course that doesn’t mean I won’t attempt a Platinum or two. (The 180 XP bonus is pretty sweet, after all.) I even have 1 UR . Edited December 16, 2017 by pyrotempestwing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy games just for platinums or trophies, but I generally try to go for the platinum on the games I do get. Don't really get the time to get through my backlog, let alone go buying games for plats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruin-rocks Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I used to just try and get any trophies I could but as of this year I have been trying to increase my completion rating and have gotten it up from 28% to almost 45% now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellcrash1991 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I used to be a platinum hunter on my previous account, trying to keep a 98-100% completion rating. But I only bought games that I liked or some new things I wanted to try. Then I played some games with some really annoying trophies wich caused me to ragequit a lot and took me days or weeks to earn. Now, several years later, it's just not worth it anymore. I still only buy games that look interesting to me, and I will always try to go for the platinum (or 100% if it's has DLC in it), but if I notice that it's too much of a hassle, I just don't try anymore and I move on. (examples: Dante's Inferno 25sp & 15mp trials in St. Lucia DLC (bronze trophy) - Need for Speed (2015) Prestige DLC (all bronze trophies for impossible time trials). Nope, it's not worth it anymore. But if it turns out I bought a game that seemed interesting but that I eventually don't like at all, I will still try to go for the trophies since I already bought it. But you will never see things like My Name is Mayo on my trophy list. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Usually I try my best not only to platinum a game but also to complete all of it's DLC. I mostly buy what specifically caters to my interests. I don't care how popular a game is or how old a game is, if I'm interested in getting a game then I will likely buy it eventually. Although most games I purchase I don't get around to until at least six months after I got them. I also do research on the games, determine how hard or easy they are, and go on from there. Being somewhat of a completionist I don't want to buy a game and then realize I have to spend dozens if not hundreds of hours in multiplayer. I made the mistake of playing games I clearly either can't do 100 percent or would take me a very long time to get. Grand Theft Auto V is a good example, I can't even get the Bounty Hunter trophy legit anymore on the PS3 version. So there goes any chance of a 100 percent account out the window. That's why I have an alt. I hate having a list full of unfinished games. It looks sloppy and very unprofessional. But people will do as they please. Some people care about completion rates and finishing hard games, others don't. That's just the way life is.

Mdshaf1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm a Platinum Hunter. I believe that when buying a game, I should at least go for Platinum to get the most out of the base game and if it's a game I enjoy a lot I'll go for the 100%. I just don't understand why you would pay for the DLC of a game you didn't like, it just feels like a waste of money to me. That being said, I understand that people want to get a high completion rate and will buy DLC for games on their list in order to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoleride Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Usually just go for the platinum trophy to be honest, although if i really enjoy the game i will go for the 100% games like Kingdoms of Amalur and Destiny are a testament to that. Although i don't go out of my way to get 100% if i do not enjoy playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_diggaer Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm playing for fun first and for trophies second. If I buy a game I want to collect as much as possible but I'm not focusing on trophy hunting. With that in mind I would never buy or ignore a game that has an easy/hard trophy list.

SirPigFace Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 100% ? I try to stick to games I enjoy playing so it makes getting a Platinum/100% a lot easier. I am not really interested in buying games, playing it once then on to the next one. Same thing with just buying super easy games for Platinum's. Sometimes when you play a game then have to replay the story again you actually see something that you didn't the first time. Enjoy a blind playthrough first and then clean up trophies second (unless you cant miss any trophies in the first playthrough like Assassin Creed series).

beastuk1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is a great question and one I ask myself many times. I have always loved gaming and since trophies have been introduced it has given me more incentive to experience different games I wouldn't normally look at. I have suffered from the grind of a very bad game in order to get trophies and this is something I am constantly battling against myself with (is it worth the time). I think there will probably be a clever person out there who can create an equation similar to Trophies earned / Time taken * Fun Experienced = negative or positive. I do like trophies and I do (mostly) enjoy the challenge they set for us. Am I a Platinum Hunter probably no as I will play a great game even if it didn't have a platinum but Am I trophy Hunter well Hell Yes as I wouldn't play a game without trophies nowadays...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Yuki Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Platinums. If I can't get the platinum, then I wouldn't bother with the rest of the trophies and just complete the story before putting the game to one side and moving on. For me it's all or nothing, either 100% or the bare minimum (i.e, story trophies and anything earned along the way naturally or by chance). I could never stand getting close to the plat and having just one trophy stand in my way. The reason is that I don't have much time to game as I work really long hours, so I want to put my time and effort into games that I will and can platinum rather than waste time just getting a bunch of bronze and silvers but no platinum in another game.

Froopy the Temmie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Looking at my signature is my reason why Plat hunting doesn't matter over trophies in general to me. That asshat is still about 10,000 points ahead of me. Edited January 5, 2018 by Temmie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxasOnFire Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I love me a plat, but after all these years I'm more into the uber-rares. I mean if I can get the plat I will. Prime example Star Wars Battlefront. Been playing since day 1 with months of breaks and I'm actually going to be able to get the plat soon. I'm just really tired of grinding lame games. There are too many good games out now too though. I wont plat AC Origins or South Park til all the dlc is out. Usually a plat means I'm done so sometimes I like to wait for the dlc. Did the same with. Bioshock infinite lol. Owned it since day 1 and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspfarmer Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 its platinum and in fact gold and silver grade trophies are a must, but the game must interest also, this year has seen me go from 49 plats in January to 61 at the moment , before the year is over, which means i must of got lucky or i was chasing thos high grade trophies massively but with my current game eso , its about to slow down alot - as the platinum is by far the hardest to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seyhano Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) No matter how hard it is, I'm playing for platinum. Of course, I don't always succeed, but the feeling of getting platinum at the end of hundreds of hours is priceless.

sepheroithisgod Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I am a trophy hunter. While I prefer being able to earn a platinum, it doesn't really deter me from playing games without one. I always trying to get that sweet 100%. I would also say you could break it up into three types of trophy enthusiasts: Trophy Hunters: People who always aim for all of the trophies they can earn. Platinum Hunters: People who only aim for the platinum trophy. Trophy Collectors: People who just like accumulating trophies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iriihutoR84 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I like getting trophies but these days I'm more about finding time to play all the games I want to play rather than complete them all. I'm more of a trophy hunter since I can try to grab a few extra trophies along the way but platinum trophies generally take too long to be worth it. There is often at least one boring/grindy trophy that's just no worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
