Nightowljrm Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Judging by the trophy list, it seems like an easy plat... and with the only other trophies being gold, ought to be a lot of points towards your PSN level. As for the gameplay, seems to be very much like Super Mario Run on iOS and Android. Might be worth playing for $5 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabmorais_2011 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm not one to care much for this kind of thing, but it always rubs me the wrong way when I see these gold only lists. Defeats the purpose of having a hierarchy for trophies me thinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know alot of people like to play games for the trophies, there were tons of games which used this 'concept' like My Name Is Mayo etc.. I seriously don't know why playstation supports this, but if the money talks, the bullshit walks. OT: These are absolutely easy trophies, you're right about the mario part, but a very cheap mario look-a-like :p. Will be bought alot because of the trophies.

I know we are on a trophy site so we are greatly skewed, but do a lot of people actually buy games just for trophies? I haven't been convinced of that claim. If trophies were so aligned with sales, we would see developers caring a lot more about them then they currently do as they would see a big difference in sales depending on their trophy lists. But developers don't care because they don't see the difference in sales since trophies matter to only a fraction of gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you agree that some games are aimed at kids? And maybe even that those games aimed at kids should not be exempt from having trophies?

Its hard to say what the developers are thinking when they create trophy lists, but I am pretty games like Mayo would have less than 1000 purchases if it wasn't for trophies. 19 minutes ago, VLAAMINGK_N1 said: I seriously don't know why playstation supports this, but if the money talks, the bullshit walks. The way I look at it is there are 225,441 total trophies to be earned (at the time of this posting) regardless of how difficult the requirements.

For My Name Is Mayo, it was a steam game that had over 1800 reviews on it. Sure, some of the fun was getting 100% even for casual players, but some people just like cheap and silly games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cheap and silly games, and would have played Mayo without trophies, like on my Switch, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuukiyun Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I don't care about the easy trophies. The only reason I'm going to get this is because it looks fun and reminds me of Kirby. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdog_president Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The only time I buy games like this is when the Sony Rewards program actually nets me more money than what the game costs. Like with Mayo, I got more than $2 back on a $1 game. Can't combat free money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I love goofy little games. The trophies are just a nice bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I look at something like this for Sony Rewards. That's 11 Golds and a Platinum to go towards giving me points for PSN cards. Plus I like having super easy Platinums in the backlog when I'm just having one of those days where I can't be bothered with something more complex or difficult. I just want to sit back, relax and get a quick Plat. And this is the ultimate game for that...no Bronze or Silver...just trophy profit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised how many easy platinum games that exist right now that dont sell alot of units, the price point will also have alot to do with that but the trophy hunter community is so small when you look at the wider scope of things. And contrary to belief but not all trophy hunters play easy games, ive met quitea few that refuse to add them to their collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been convinced of that claim. Over 10,000 people on PSNP bought Little Adventure on the Prairie. It was on the PSNP front page 10 most popular after it came out. The game has absolutely *no* redeeming features whatsoever, and it's insane to think that it sold well for any reason other than easy trophies. Its developer purposely gave it easy trophies specifically to make some easy money to fund their next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that is correct. But in these specific cases those developers cater exactly to this trophy-whoring crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
