DLC trophy thoughts

[AJ_Radio]

If this was still 2008 - 2010 they would of thrown in those grounded trophies as a requirement for the platinum. 
 

You guys saying you work hard everyday doesn’t cut it. I worked 60 hour days at Dollar Tree for a year or so, still was able to get some games done that required more than one playthrough. 
 

As much as I don’t like where Call of Duty has gone, I can give the trophy designers some respect because they actually put challenge in the DLC. Generally I just look at the base game lists and go ‘meh’.

Have you even looked at the accessibility options available for both trophies? I personally hadn’t because I’ve never used them but I just did and they’re absurdly excessive. It’s to the point where a blind monkey could unlock these new trophies and it just makes the people complaining about them look pathetic. 

It's not about the actual difficulty. I'm sure it won't be a big problem to unlock them. 

It's the fact that people who already earned the plat need to play two times more through this game. 

And this general trend especially on Sony games (but also others like Rage 2) to not include difficulty specific trophies in the main list so the platinum is accessible for everyone but then release difficulty specific trophies for the main campaign as "DLC". 

 

The people who go for 100% still need to do the same and put in the same time as it was required for a plat a few years ago on most games. 

But everyone else who only cares about the plat can get it with less effort although those added trophies are for the main game, which should be represented by the plat. 

 

In my eyes this just completely devalues platinum trophies and as I said I wouldn't be surprised, if Sony would award you with the plat for simply booting up the game at some point in the future. 

 

Whats even the point of a platinum trophy after all now? Might as well get rid of it completely, if it doesn't mean anything anymore.

You are a bit late discussing the value of platinum trophies. Things like leaderboards are fucked up since years, because sony doesnt give a shit about all these crap game publishers, because they make a lot of money with them. If the same happens for exclusives it's disappointing but not the end of the world. I hope most of you would play games like TLOU even without trophies. If you get the platinum for booting the game, it wouldn't stop me from playing through the story, but it would save hours to skip the unnecessary collectible trip.

 

3rd Party games wouldn't be affected that much since both xbox and playstation get the same list in 99% of the time. Didn't notice a change as big as it is rn with sony titles.

Sony not caring about Ratalaika trophy shop games is one thing, because you can pretty much ignore them and not play them. 

But when they start to completely fuck up the values of trophies in good games, it just pisses me off. 

 

Rage 2 is the best example for 3rd party. 

 

They actually were retarded enough to put in a DLC (!) trophy for beating the game on nightmare, which wasn't even a new difficulty added with a patch. It was there right from the release. 

Let's see what the Doom Eternal DLCs will "gift" to us. Probably a bronze trophy for beating the maingame on ultra nightmare lol

 

Another one that comes to my mind is Far Cry 5. Let's add a permadeath trophy one year after release when everybody already moved on to different games yeaaah. People will love it

Refering to Far Cry: You can pretty much say the same thing about any dlc. This difficulty was added later on, like grounded in TLOU1. Since the game didnt need multiple playthroughs from the beginning (far cry 5), i can live with that. That's the same for ng+ trophies. But if you already needed 2 playthroughs for platinum and can get the 100% in 2 playthroughs as well if you started with the dlc difficulties added later on. THAT's a big FU for all of the release players.

Already 2x 100% from players who combined Grounded+Permadeath. It's probably not that bad.
