Least Favorite Kinds of Trophies

[TylerPicon]

The Online ones

 

The one that requires a certain # of players (like doing the easter eggs in blackops zombies)

i don't like online trophies in the sense that if you have older games that just started playing instead when they came out.... it's gonna be extremely hard to get platinum without the 1 person alive willing to help boost...

I agree with you that happened to me with killzone 3 online trophies. btw could you please explain to me how you put your trophy card in your post and when someone clicks on it they can see your psn profile

time spent trophies is annoying i cant like always have my ps3 turned on for 24 hours (little big planet 2)

Really the only things that piss me off are difficulty trophies for difficulties you don't have from the start and really awful online trophies that take a shit ton of time (Warhawk was such a criminal when it came to that). For speed trophies it really depends on how much time you have and what the varying factors are. For example The god of war "Beat game in 5 hours" trophy was fine because you could play on easy and use special items from new game+ so that you didnt have to worry about difficulty, just beating the game- which made it pretty easy. However if you pull an Ico on me and make me beat the 8ish hour game in 2 hours you're out of your fucking mind

Online ones since I generally don't play online and prefer single player games. Plus half of the online trophies in games are ridiculous and require you to play long after the online stopped being fun.

mostly the online trophies - no matter the description

also the speed runs are a pain for me - i hate being timed

[TheEstilingue]

Online trophies, if the game is new it's relatively easy to get the trophies,

but as the games get older you get less players and servers being shut down.

[Shiperzz]

Online trophies.

 

With offline trophies you know you can come back later to work on them, whether its a matter of months or years.

I like getting onlne trophies, I find them satisfying. But I hate luck based online trophies, or sometimes getting X kills with a gun who is in a specific map and everyone can get to it. 
I hate party trophies too

[Herwest299]

Online trophies. Especially ones where you have to win all of certain matches and ones requiring you to reach the maximum level. This is why I'll probably never platinum GTA V since I have absolutely no interest in the multiplayer.

[Rick_Sanchez]

Online trophies are the bane of my existence.

[Amonares]

Online is not a problem if you have the right people, but collectibles... C'mon, is that really necessary? I always get lazy when it comes to collectibles, because there is no enjoyment in it.

[aquaslimfatboy]

Don't mind online trophies, it's difficulty related trophies that don't stack which really grind my gears. Favorite has to be collectible trophies.

[Asuka Langley]

Lets go with something meaningless:

Hardcore Risette fan, you do not understand how many people are still investigating the game for the easiest way to get this, its based on hearing 250 of Rise's lines in battle, but theres so many restrictions that its almost meaningless... Almost.

[TwilightSpira]

Online trophies- basically because I play my games for fun and when I really like the game, it's awesome to hunt for the trophies and when it has those stupid MP trophies, there's unfortunately a lot of maniacs that makes the enjoyment into frustration. Sadly.

- Online trophies.

- Speedrun trophies.

- Difficulty based trophies that requires you to replay the game numerous times.

[Machina]

I dislike trophies based around online mode. If I'm a late-comer to a game, it'd be hard for me to find other players. It also doesn't help that I live all the way in Australia because when I'm online, most of the world is sleeping. 

[Cake]

I don't mind online trophies too much, but it depends on the game. My most hated trophy types would have to be speed based trophies and perfection. Both I completely suck at btw.

[Vaxij]

Online trophies, in all it's variants. I hate them with all my soul. Especially when the servers get shut down and you realise you'll never be able to platinum/100% that game.

[BraveNoobWorld]

Online trophies and collectibles for me. The only time I've seen collectibles used really effectively was in Arkham Asylum (looking forward to playing City) where they added to the back story and enriched the world. Kill 200 pigeons in GTA IV? Fuck off.

 

Special category for one trophy:

FIFA Street - Online Dominance

- online

- collectables (win 9 different cups on a rotating 9 week schedule)

- perfection (win 4 straight games)

- something meaningless (only available on weekends)

- based around time spent (your team ability points are dependent on how long you've spent grinding)

[Neputyunu]

Good that so many others hating online too.

Maybe we should ask some Hackergroups to shutdown Ubisoft and so, until they promise to never build in onlinetrophies again.

[jaeik2541]

Trophies based on difficulty, speed, perfection can be accepted as challenges given to you.

 

Trophies based on collectibles is acceptable IMO, as long as the game offers chapter select, or little bit of side stories to it.

 

Trophies based on number of people can be boosted in the gaming session, and you can actually meet really great guys from the session.

 

Trophies based on mainquest/sidequest/failing can be done through the natural progression (if you like the game)

 

 

But trophies based on MP, especially boring reach max level, and time consuming 'finish everything' trophies, just make you want to re-evaluate your life.

[GRITTY_PITTY]

Online is the worst for sure, but collectables can be annoying and also speed.

[DaScorpio_]

Trophies were you have to win something online from someone who has it
like in Fight Night Round 4 with those online belts. 
That kind of trophy pisses me off the most.

[ferrers405]

Online multiplayer with grinding = no Platinum for me, oh Tomb Raider, oh...

[merciful84]

I can't stand:

 

Trophies that require multiple play throughs to get the platinum or 100%.

- Difficulty related trophies usually fall under this category but I tend not to like them even when they don't. Oh and also difficulty related trophies that don't stack!

 

Online trophies! I'm already not a huge fan of online MP (competitive more than co-op) but nothing is worse than not being able to get trophies because of servers shutting down or having to prioritize games because their servers soon will be.

 

Speed run trophies! I like to take my time and see everything a game has to offer without it affecting my trophy progress. I especially don't care for this in games where a lot of thought, skill, and luck goes into its completion (looking at you Dokuro and Stealth inc)

 

Trophies based on dates or high play times don't really bother me because they tend to be the easiest to circumvent with minimum effort.
