Popular Post RedDead3001 Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) What makes trophy hunting so addictive in your opinion? My personal opinion and how I feel about trophy hunting in a weird way I feel like there a badge of honor like a soldier making great achievement and getting medals for it (I'm not trying to say gamers are like soldiers, soldiers are true heroes and trophy hunting is just a hobby) and I always love to 100% games and to be honest trophies always boost my gaming ego. I will love to hear your thoughts. Edited March 27, 2020 by DaivRules 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaros-QC Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think trophy hunting depends of your own goal and like, for example i feel proud when I get a platinum because i feel its a prize for my effort but there are ppl who doesn't care about trophies they just play games without getting 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel the same exact way proud especially when I overcome a very hard trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tnaires Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 I thought about this so many times, and I came to an answer: I keep trophy hunting because I've always been a completionist even when a formal trophies/achievements system didn't exist for the platforms I've played. I went through all console generations since the Atari 2600 and I was never satisfied with only getting to the end of a game. I always wanted to discover every secret, kill every enemy, get every alternative ending the game had to offer, based on the progress feedback the game gave to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kristycism Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Personally, I've always been a completionist. If there's a miscellaneous task to do in a game, or a collectable to be collected, you can guarantee I'm going for it So trophies are like a public badge to say "hey, look! I completed these games!" (I mean, for myself to look at, I'm pretty sure no-one really gives a crap about anyone else's profile except for those at the top) It doesn't really change which games I play or how I play them too much, but it's nice to see them all on a site like this so I can look back at the list of games I completed instead of it just being in my head 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have this thing about getting my money's worth out of the game, do you also guys/girls feel the same way? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagaan Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I see it the same way as ppl mention it, if u go for a plat u get the maximum out of a game. Its all money we use for our games. Back at the day u didnt get rewards for doin all stuff etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Americans are not the only ones that thing soldiers are true heroes I'm pretty sure the majority of the world thinks the same way as I do. But at least you got one thing right i am from the United State. But getting back to the trophies I totally agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zid960 Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Im a completeist at heart. And see it as the games not done till everything unlocked. But i have a habit of stop playing for a long time if im bored. I used to write down what i was doing in older games. Incase i droped it. So mainly use it to see what iv played. Like did i stop playing this... look it up and yup not done il go play it. Also i use it to remember what i was doing when i droped it. Like i have the chap3 trophies but not this boss that in chap4. So can look up a walkthrough and be like im around this point. So it more tool for me. Most of the time. Also get me more time out of it. After all i see no point in playing and game on hardiest for no reason. If it unlocks something there's a point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav9834 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The OCD in me is real Granted I can drop a game if I don't like it) But if I'm enjoying it, I'm looking and checking everything that's in the game for secrets/collectibles/100% side quests done... It's why I have my immovable backlog ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Not about ego at all for me. If a trophy is too hard and I wouldn’t enjoy going for it I don’t. For me, I just like ticking off tasks and having some type of record of my gaming history. Edited March 27, 2020 by thefourfoldroot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatinumNumemon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I always loved trophies (like, real life trophies that people get for winning tournaments,etc.) ever since I was a kid. The thought of being recognized for an achievement with a big thing that says "I did this!" was just awesome to me. At the end of high school, I only earned 2 trophies, which does kinda make me sad (although one is more than what most people earn through an entire 12 years, so I am grateful). At the same time as a kid, I loved video games (still do). So when I got my PS3 and saw these things called trophies, I was excited! I always thought that the more trophies I earned, the better gamer I would be (granted I was thinking this at age 11, I am 19 now, so take it how you like lol). I also thought that if I couldn't earn real life trophies, I would at least get trophies from doing what I love most: playing video games. Also, I did own a 360 before my parents bought me a PS3, and I could have cared less about achievements on there, so who knows how I would care about Playstation trophies if they were not named that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can someone feel that those who would give up their lives to protect the people of their country are not heroes. Don’t want to go off topic, but that’s a shitty thing to say (I’m not from the US) Edited March 27, 2020 by thefourfoldroot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Mighty_Ducks Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Having a disorder called obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I legitimately have it but not as severe. But it does hinder my life.. Which is why I would buy a Switch if I had the money for games that I know I cant 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmberzGhostSquad Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I enjoy seeing that trophy notification pop with that iconic sound. I also like to be able to view what I have done in a game and gauge how much is left to still do within it. One of my FAVORITE things however is reaching a milestone like 50th plat or whatever and choosing a specific game to plat for it so it can show up on my profile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No longer here Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Well I am a completionist, it has applied to me my whole life. But I won't plat games that I don't like or just extremely tedious/boring. I just plat what i love easy or hard doesn't matter to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothGirlMaxine Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Simply put... That pop you hear when a trophy unlocks. I love that sound. Also, I like playing games regardless. Trophies are just an additional incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to go off topic, but that’s a shifty thing to say (I’m not from the US) I think what he meant was, only Americans think its heroic cause a lot of other countries its mandatory (There's like 26 countries where its mandatory) and it's a normal thing that everyone has to go through. It's just cultural differences. And Neputyunu we're patriotic cause of the past. We drafted people for WW2, Korean War and Vietnam. When Vietnam vets came back they were spat on, cursed at, etc. For people who shouldnt have been drafted in the first place, who committed horrible atrocities in the Vietnam war. But the blame was placed at the wrong people and America learned their mistakes. Now we appreciate and support our troops who volunteer. To let them know not to give up hope and we love them so keep fighting till they come home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
