iGGTheEnd Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) What is your least favorite trophy requirement in games? Example. Collectables, Missables, Multiplayer, Grindy, S ranks, etc. Personally I dislike collectables because I hate looking at guides the whole time I play.

Sofa King Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 MP is probably the top of my list. It's usually too competitive for my taste, and often unnecessarily tacked on to SP games that don't need it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggypossum Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Multiplayer and speedrun trophies. Something like this: "Achieve a Complete Speed Run Time of Less than 4 Hours and 15 Minutes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Absolutely multiplayer. All the rest depend on my skill (or lack thereof) and mine alone. Multiplayer adds other players into the mix that add an element of randomness and especially with co-op, it's no longer about my skill and I can easily be fucked over by whoever the game decides to pair me with (or, I could be the one fucking them over and then I'll end up feeling guilty. If I'm terrible at a solo game, there's no fallout and nobody would be upset by it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx-KingOFDark-xX Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Speedruns. I simply hate rushing through a game, and constantly checking the timer and reloading when you're a 1 millisecond late in a section. What's worse are games that you can only complete with a maximum of 2 minutes before the required deadline. Like the pre-Resident Evil 4 games. I hate MP. But they're alright when they encourage to try the MP. But I get really furious when they ask you to give your life to it. Like Rockstar's games.

PooPooBlast Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Wish we can choose more than one but for me collectibles which also check the box for missables(most of the time collectibles are missable)! I loathe those things unless there's a proper in game tracker and clues on how to get them. Imagine trying to get the good ending for the metro games without a guide. Nigh impossible! Then MP comes next for sure. All the rest aren't bad at all and are fair game imo( if done with reason ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Speed runs. I hate where games force you to do the game quickly like that instead of, you know, taking your time with the game, appreciating it for what it is, going at your own pace.

Popular Post Dauersack Posted February 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2019 Multiplayer, just the thought of having to rely on other people can be quite annoying, not to mention the chance of the servers closing and therefore making the trophies impossible to get later. Multiplayer trophies also tend to morph with other options mentioned here, who does not know the popular multiplayer grind, or the multiplayer difficulty related. The only other kind that pisses me off is speedrun. I dislike speedrun trophies because speedrunning is the most demented way to play any game. You skip over anything you can in a game, you don't enjoy shit, you get nervous in a bad way as you get closer to the finish line and you have a really good chance to waste many hours with failed attempts thanks to bad luck. If i had known for example that every single Uncharted game has speedrun trophies demanding a multiple hour speedrun each time, I would honestly not have bothered with buying the games. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majob Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Multiplayer for sure. The requirements can be ridiculous sometimes and it's heavily dependent on a having a decent player population 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSquirrell1 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Tie between MP with trolls and an impossible speed run. Both are just awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStanley Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm torn between so many of these options because I think there are situations where I'm okay with them in some respects, yet not okay in others. Ultimately I chose "Collectables" because this is the only time I'll actually use a guide, which I consider a form of cheating. Missables -- I hate them when they require a full game replay, though a chapter replay I can deal with to some extent.Multiplayer -- I'm not a fan of getting some high number of Ranked wins, or worse yet, consecutive ranked wins (looking at fighting games here) Grinding -- A little bit is okay, but sometimes the yield of work they ask for is just out of line. Collectables -- I really dislike being forced to use a guide. Some collectable systems I like are those which will give you hints as to the whereabouts of collectables without flat out telling you. Speed Run -- Love them when they can be done in under an hour, anything more than that is a bit rough to fail and retry. Replaying / Difficulty -- Not a fan of this in any capacity, especially when difficulties don't stack. Thinking about this on my overall account, the one trophy I absolutely hated was Diamond Knack. I must have replayed the game about 7 times to complete that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Squirlruler Posted February 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2019 Other: Anything RNG based. Usually collectibles or grind, which I don't mind if they aren't random.

Sneezin-- Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'll go with multiplayer aswell. If it's not a game that was specifically developed for multiplayer, it makes games dated. It becomes pretty much impossible to get the trophys the normal way, and having a boosting partner becomes a requirement, since the servers are dead. And it's usually very boring and grindy stuff you have to do, like reaching max level or whatever. I also HATE that you have to get a ps plus subscription to complete a single-player focused game. It's infuriating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakoom Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 missables and speed runs and stupid grinding trophies or online trophies or the ones which force you to follow instructions i wana play the game and enjoy it and not forced to watch a guide all the time and be forced to follow the dev insutructions to plat the game like be a good guy the entire time or dont kill anyone the entire game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. That's one of Xbox's best features in terms of achievement hunting. It helps a lot for collectibles trophies, especially if there's no in game collectible tracker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmland12 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm really surprised that I'm the only one so far to pick grinding. There's nothing worse than a long mindless pointless grind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
