Thank You, Ratalaika Games

[C7OUD_STRIFE_]

Lol some people like to create drama even in trophies. You know what? How about everyone mind their own buisness and do what they want with their account? Life's too short for this. I manage to achieve plenty of hard platinums through the years but if my wife or my kid want to play these Ratalaika games on my account i dont mind at all, since i also like the retro style of these games and really enjoying them far beyond the platinum. It would be pointless and stupid to care what randoms are saying on internet. No games are making an account trash unless someone is cheating/using hacks. And i bet if everyone would had the chance to get the games for all regions for free like me then even more profiles would've had multiple region stacks. In the end of the day i enjoy every game i play either its having an easy or hard platinum, thats all that matters. Period.

Just because a lot of games with easy, fast... slightly pathetic plats start coming out, that shouldn't discourage you to stop trophy hunting, -if- you enjoy it. The ones you decide to go for still have value if you put the time/effort into getting them, I'll always treasure the ones I have that took over 100 hours. I don't plan to stop trophy hunting because someone else has 200 instant plats, I know how much work I have in my games, & something someone else has won't change that... if anything, it just shows they have more disposable income than me. ?

This topic is 100% subjective. I don't know who says that trophy hunting is about getting hard and long platinum of AAA games or Japanese expensive games. If someone can tell me where I can find the great book of trophy hunting rules and laws, please let me know 

[MrTriesHisBest]

I also wanna thank Ratalaika for giving us juicy plats

 

Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

 

>:D

[qregory]

If people lack the skill to get some harder plats and want to play some piss easy games then whatever.

Another day, another Anti-Ratalaika topic where the first 15 posts farm all the upvotes they can get. If you don't like the leaderboards, don't look at them. If you don't like the games, don't play them.

[loganernest3]

Me personally I like the games and I don't miss Nd the easy plats, I don't go for stacks just do it once it's over. I like breaking up a monotonous grind with a few easy laid back plats. My list has  quite a few of these games but the fact I have them doesn't diminish my harder and longer games I have completed in my eyes

[AJ_Radio]

Funny that we have all these newer members having a say on Ratalaika Games because a portion of their trophy profiles is their games being stacked in quick succession.

 

I'm not saying I'm truly any better because I have all Sound Shapes stacks, Orc Slayer and My Name is Mayo, none of which I have any intention of ever going back to. Yet they have constantly pumped out the stacks because you have to pay multiple times because you have to pay for each region. That is pretty similar to a gambling addict's obsession with pouring more money on a slot machine or a poker table, even though the odds are they will lose money more than they will win money, because that's how casinos work.

 

Here it's just grabbing virtual bling. Ratalaika simply publishes these games and they are putting these stacks out on purpose to cater specifically for those trophy addicts. If I had to choose between the two I would pick gambling some money at a casino because at least I have a small chance of actually winning some money, whereas here I'll just be spending money on some games that can be done in just 20 - 30 minutes.

 

These games could of made you actually finish them to completion, and if that were the case then these threads wouldn't be popping up and most of you who stack Ratalaika Games wouldn't of bothered buying them to begin with.

 

Call us elitists, stuck up weirdos, close minded, whatever. I said my piece. Doesn't matter if they keep cranking out trophy lists with 10 - 11 golds, 0 - 2 silvers, and a platinum for games that make you experience less than 10 - 20 percent of them because the trophies are basically all earned in the first level or two anyway.

 

If this angers people, then whatever. It's my opinion, and I have just as much right to speak my opinion on this current trend as those of us who support Ratalaika Games and their practices.

Excellent one more whinging trophy hunter that blames someone else and their games for their own issues is moving on. How many more to go ?

First and foremost, this isn't sarcasm. This is completely genuine.

 

As I'm sure a number of you have known recently, whether you like it or not, Ratalaika Games has dumped out a lot of zero effort plats that have pretty notably devalued them because of how much you can stack them. Now, this is important because thanks to that, I came to a realization that since there's functionally no difference between a plat from them and a plat that requires effort and because of how they're making collecting plats to be more about how much you're willing to pay than how much you're willing to do. Granted, this has always been there (how many of you have Hannah Montana the Movie because of its easy plat?), but it hasn't been to this extent. Because of this, I've stopped caring about bothering with trophies because of how worthless they're making them, and because I expect this trend to continue and attract copycats with how much infamy they're getting.

 

The reason I see this as a good thing instead of a bad thing is because of the massive size of my backlog, which is in part so massive because I don't consider a game complete unless I get a plat or 100% even though I'd never complete most of them anyway. I no longer feel like games that I've beaten, but not completed, should qualify as unfinished, since what's the difference between that plat and a Ratalaika plat? If anything, the latter is more valuable because of its gold trophy count. It feels pointless to care about completion when that's the case.

 

Tl;dr: Trophies significantly lost their value to me because of Ratalaika Games and I no longer feel like there's any value in going out of my way for them.

 

I read your post and only your post, without scrolling down, and pretty much agree with it. I plan on going no further than this post however, because I'm in a good mood while crafting items in Final Fantasy XIV and I'd like to keep that good mood.

People think your games be like they is, because they do. Keep up the good work, triggering the weak.

 

Tbh, The weak people are the people buying these kind of games. People opposing just see the 'bigger picture' and like to share it.

[nyonmyan]

People who make “lol trophies dont matter, just bee urself” posts, what are you doing on this dedicated to trophies website? Shouldn't you play your rata-something games, instead of wasting time in "trophies dont matter" threads?

Please, enlighten me.

You don't need to be a cook to judge if a topic soup is salty.

[Shockadelica-70]

Hello, the subject of easy trophies invaded the site! Personally it's not even a subject and it's really not interesting, everyone plays and bought what makes him happy, that we spend 30 minutes on a game to get a platinum or 30 hours to farm a stupid trophy ( I did both) is a personal choice.

[BOOTP]

People can play and do what they want, but the best profiles in my opinion are those which demonstrate quality over quantity.

Value of trophies are what you personally make of it.

 

I personally find joy in completing games and the challenges that come with them. Trophies are just a bonus and at most a guide to tackling what the game has to offer.

 

Let me put it this way: Would you be more satisfied with getting a super easy giveaway platinum or a platinum that you feel like it challenged you, made you pour time and effort into it?

 

Leaderboards shouldn't be all there is in determining what games you play, unless you put it above all else in priority.

 

I don't mind earning a platinum on games that give me a challenge (such as the first God of War's challenges, or the tactical challenges in Vanquish), but when it comes to things like Super Street Fighter 4 and the insane trials that require everything to be nothing less than perfection when performing the combos, then it just pisses me off. That is one of the reasons why I try to avoid certain fighting games like the plague.

haven't done any Rata plats in months, but i'm ecstatic that they're devaluing the trophy system  it's sad to see people wasting their lives in constant pursuit of others' approval

 

with any luck, in 5 years from now every remaining trophy hunter will derive their contentment solely from their own trophical stats & feats  what a fantastical concept

[GarciaFever]

Btw I kind of forgot to mention this in my previous post, but which games are under this so called "Ratalaika Games"?

[SaintChris777]

As a few people said, to each their own, but I can't understand it, that some people seem to get triggered by other people's plats.
Why does it matter to you ? Imo you shoudl ALWAYS plat a game for your own sake, because you enjoyed it, not for other people.
Sure I played a lot of games just for the plat in my early days and still to from time to time, but my main focus is on games i truly enjoy playing.

 

Trophies for me are a little treat for finishing a task. Compare it to a dog, who did good or learned a new trick if you will ^^

Tl;Dr imo enjoy games for your own sake not for others

 

PS: Have a nice easter monday

Games ported and/or published by ratalaika games.. aka games that require no effort in platting and has multiple stacks just to moneytize trophy hoarders.

 

With the many promoters on this site that posts a minute after a ratgames list comes out, I thought everyone would have know them by now

 

And while your at it. Also look at this thread:

Trophy hunting is a fun way to see every aspect of a game, play it in different ways etc. The value of trophies has always been in that. Also, they have a rarity count for a reason (people who want bragging rights or to feel more accomplished). 

The main factor impacting someone's level is how much free time they gave, then how much money, then how much they care about trophies, then finally trophy difficulty.

If you don't enjoy trophies because you feel you aren't stacking up to others who basically buy easy plat games then I'm not judging, I'd just suggest you look at it from a slightly different perspective - that of how much fun and accomplishment you feel in getting trophies, not how it shows you measure up to other people.

I like trophies as extra challenges and memorable milestones, but my 39% completion rate is testimony to my willingness to drop a game I'm not enjoying.

Quick question: would it be better for you if PSN had rarity of a trophy impact things like level? Does level matter to you?

[Arin1979]

For a low price you have different thematic games, all enjoyable.
I must remember that in forums of the worst games does not appear any of Ratalaika which reaffirms my thought of quality at a very good price of Ratalaika.

Gracias Ratalaika Games ^o^

Glad to see someone else saying it.

 

It's so sad that people are constantly comparing themselves to others as if that was any representation of their own being.

Are you a worse person because the dude next door has more money? better grades? a 'better grade' dog? bigger house? a hotter love partner? 'better' job?

 

The only thing capable of defining someone is themselves. A random statistic from another person, close or far, does not and will not change who you are.
