A vital question to people who skip games

[rabatopotatoe]

you:this game looks great and so much fun, I can't wait to...what it has a hard/mp/unobtainable etc trophy...well i guess i will not get this game.

me:why not make a second account.

Or play it on your main if you don't care about completion. Play it on a dummy acc if you care about completion.

Because playing a game I might enjoy but has a trophy list built of sheer futility would take time away from playing a game I'm ambivalent about but spoon-feeds me trophies to make my trophy count bigger.

That's me in a nutshell really, so long as the game isn't only multiplayer, then sure, I'll play it even with online trophies which I most likely wont bother with.

I just play whatever I like, but I do sometimes play something on a dummy account to make sure I understand the game and can make my completion time lower than it could be

I used to be that kind of completionist. Now I've decided that I'll be the 'enjoy good games and figure out how to get the MP trophies later' kind of completionist. i.e. the Red Dead games were looking sad at the bottom of my game pile.

I concur with your point. While I generally purchase games with the intention of playing and completing them on my main profile, there are certain titles I'll feel ambivalent about unless I try them out. Usually occurs with PS+ titles or games I've purchased with high discounts, and if I hadn't tried some of them out on an alternate account, I would have regretted playing them on here since they weren't my cup of tea. I don't tend to play many online titles, so my main concern primarily is if the game will resonate with me or not.

Or... you know... accept the challenge, put that thing on your main and complete it. I don't use second accounts, but I also don't skip games, there is no reason for it. Secondary accounts result in fake statistics on your main account, and I don't want that.

Honestly, no hate, but I find it pathetic. If I were to go to some gaming event and I meet people, someone would say “Oh, no, I didn’t buy that game cause of the trophy list.” I’m sorry but thats just really embarrassing. 
 

Whoever finds that to be a reason to not buy a game, just think about how mental you actually sound.

 

You’re missing out on great games. If you buy games to get trophies, are you enjoying gaming at its fullest? You constantly have to think/“calculate” about trophies, doesn’t sound fun to me.

 

I hope these kind of addicts (obviously in denial) get to their senses one day.

 

I repeat: No hate, I probably sound harsh. ?

I'm going to skip uncharted 4, partly because I'm over those games but mostly because of the dlc trophies.  I dunno why,  I guess it's because I can't be bothered with the drama of it all.  Plus I truly am over the uncharted series.
