Usually it's just for TV but occasionally they'll start a game. My son is the exact opposite - he loves having his own profile. If we're going to play something together, he absolutely insists we play on his profile as the main. Have you since password protected your profile? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarciaFever Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yes. I can get rid of so many games, and possibly help get closer to having a 100% account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German_Atheist Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Why would you wanna hide trophies if it wasn't for cheating? I've been around PSN for more than eleven years now and people never seem to get tired of making up new excuses for their behaviour. People, it's just video games. Ok? A hobby. A way to kill the time you have left until you die. That's it. You will not get a fucking medal for having the shiniest of all gaming collections, for having all trophies in Zen Pinball, or for being the quickest virtual gunslinger out there. Nobody cares but you. And if you care, well, check your priorities. It's just a hobby. If you hide trophies, everyone can see it. You're fake. A show-off. I've never hidden a single game and I never will. It's preposterous. And so is deleting trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the 4-digit passcode/PIN you can set up when selecting a profile on the PS4. It just assigns digits 0-9 to buttons on the DualShock, there's no typing. Or does this happen on a PS3? I haven't set up any password protection on that system, so I'm not familiar with how it works there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unhid it when I was having syncing problems with some other games, but caring about what other people thought about my hidden, non-cheated trophies didn't even register on my list of concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just in case you forgot: It's just videogames. It's irrelevant. Syncing problems? Well, back luck. Shit happens. It doesn't hurt anyone. Focus on the fun things. You could get struck by a frozen turd dropped by a plane any day. Wear your hard hat. Or perform a hard reset and create a new PSN account. Without Tron. It doesn't matter. It's just games.

Once you get used to punching in your PIN a few times you can do it without even thinking about it. Regarding deleting games, I think the only time I'd ever want to do that would be if somebody else had played games under my profile. But fortunately, that's never happened to me. I like being able to see and look back on my gaming history, the good and the bad (that's one of the things I use this site for the most). If the feature were to be added, I wouldn't use it unless my son figured out my PIN and started playing games on my profile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalHmd Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 yes. I'd actually delete some platinums, like the auto popped Sound Shapes and the ones that are 'missing timestamps' I started a lot of ps3 and vita games with no intention to play them, so I'd delete these, plus the ps3 games I re bought for ps4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's pointless. The games are still there. They won't go away. Ever. Deal with it. Hiding trophies to raise the visible completion rate is pretty much the same as putting socks into your underwear to give the impression of having a huge dick. Again, it's preposterous.

I just wanted it out of my view, which it was. Cosmetically missing was my goal. You bring up completion percentages, which I have no concern for. What is so difficult to understand about that?

TheMightyImp2 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Woo! Getting spicy in here. Nah, deleting trophies to make your 100% figure look better? A bit sad. Like exaggerating your bust, manhood, salary, whatever. It's just lying to yourself. Also, just like kissing that ugly kid in school, it's all part of the journey, warts and all. Silly example, I'm proud of getting platinum on Leisure suit larry box office bust. It was voted one of the worst games ever, but, having started it, I saw it through to it's miserable, clunky end. It's the kind or game people hide, but it reminds me of the struggle and the victory. Edited June 13, 2019 by TheMightyImp2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes_994 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yes! Sometimes I play a game just to try it out and then I get like 5 trophies for it before I quit and it can get annoying even though i don't care for trophies much So I think it would be an ever better addition to the people who actually care a lot about that stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeancePrime Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'd probably delete trophies for games that I only earned a trophy or two in, but have no real interest in playing any further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAskHole Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 of course I will. Mainly for games with 5% or less, that I dropped for any reason and dont plan to go back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YROSHIKU Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well I hope that if there will be such an option for a PS5 then PS4 will also get it, there's no way in hell I'll be getting a new console to get rid off few trophy lists and maybe for a game or two ?.

sasu_naru Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It would help to clear games from your list you don't plan to ever play again so I like the idea Maybe even add the option to delete games from your games list, not only trophy list. (Of course, only if you haven't earned any trophies for it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmet_time Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 A big part of what I like about trophies is that it provides a record of your video game journey. The only reason I'm semi-loyal to Sony platforms is because it lets me have all my data in one place, without creating spreadsheets (or filling notebooks, which is how I used to do it #80'skid). So, deleting trophies is counterproductive to me. But, it seems like a nice feature for people who want it. However, Sony doesn't seem to care much about the trophy system.
