Mind you, I don't like stacking the entire profile with this type of shit, but if you fix yourself an objective, no matter how stupid it is, you need to see it through, alongside all the adversities that come with it, if it's about money, you don't have to spend everything immediately, you can wait for sales, new flow of cash from your job, or even people that share these games.

The point is i can still enjoy my games. I'm not a completist and im not a Throphy Hunter. I'm a Gamer. I play games where i know i never get platin and have good times with them and on the other side i still play games i already have platin (like Dark Souls). Enjoy you game and you automatically spend more time in it. When i see how ppl glich, exploid, rush and do only what is necessary to get trophy make me laugh. And in my eyes this is playing for the wrong reasons and has nothing to do with gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did My Name is Mayo, Orc Slayer, Adams Venture Origins, Albedo: Eyes From Outer Space and other 'trash' games so I can say I tried the numbers thing. Didn't work out. Playing Call of Duty on Veteran and overcoming a challenge will always be more satisfying to me. That's not to say I won't try an easy point and click now and then, but I won't just do them solely for the trophies. I sometimes do the EZPZ games after a long grind, just to refresh the mind and also slowly knock another game off the list. But I'm with you, I don't like the change and I play what I mostly enjoy. I'd like to be given the option on whether I would care to use this new system, which I'd rather not. Just want to add that there was a time trophy level meant something. Generally, most higher level guys could be counted on to show up for online portions of games. Nowadays, a lot of higher level guys, based solely on my experience, are more concerned with popping trophies on piss easy games, than showing up for a grind. Nothing will change how things are now.

julianegan Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) First of all, I truly believe that trophy hunting is a way of life. I personally like the update, you have to see it as a new challenge. Even, you don't need to reach the level 999. Play for fun. Don't force yourself to do things that you don't like. On the other hand, PS5 is coming soon for 500 dollars. We're in the best time to be gamers. I remember back my dad buying an old TV for 1000 dollars. How can exist people complaining today? Great things are coming! Edited October 9, 2020 by julianegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvpeast Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) It takes about 1200 platinums to reach level 999. It’s not worth it. That’s all. My goal now is to get level 800 and no more rushing for trophies. Edited October 9, 2020 by mvpeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hittheroadbucky Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 If you view trophy hunting as a job or a struggle or a waste of money, maybe you shouldn’t do it? If you enjoy games more on steam because you don’t go for achievements you can literally just not go for trophies and play the same games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you could do a better job than them. Plus wait an extra month? why? The majority of people had to have known change was coming. They can't keep the same ps3/ps4 trophy system into ps5, it would seem outdated, so they changed it. Roll it out a month early so any bugs or errors can be fixed accordingly till ps5 launch and then maybe it gets slightly touched upon, throughout the first few months until Sony is satisfied. Seems professional to me. I think you're dumb for making a big stink about it. Game for the sake of gaming, who gives a damn whether you hit trophy level 20,30,100,400,800, its just a digital accomplishment. Nothing more. PS: It would HAVE been... not would of been. The new console itself is a whole entire different conversation that is merely irrelevant for the most part. I will admit I played shit games in the past solely for trophies. On the other hand I’ve stacked games like the Uncharted series and Guacamelee because I loved them. If Uncharted gets a PS5 port I may consider doing it a third time around. If you signed up on these forums and have been more or less active, I say you care somewhat for the trophy hunting community. I care for the community, when somebody gets a hard game finished I like to comment and give them my ‘congrats’. That’s what I like to do. If you want to tell me I’m just wasting my time posting what you consider drivel on these forums, wasting my time being a completionist and being somewhat concerned for trophy ranks, then kindly put me on block. I made the decision to hunt trophies in the fashion I want, I want to get the most out of my games. You made the decision to stop playing games once you decide they’re not worth doing. You’re basically a casual trophy hunter who doesn’t care about completion. I do, so frankly, I don’t care how much you think digital achievements mean next to nothing. That is subjective. At the end of the day we basically care only for our trophies and the games we play. Whenever I try to make a point about trophies, someone comes in and tells me I’m wasting my time. Sorry, but everyone views trophies differently. I just don’t understand why people on here who aren’t too concerned about trophies want to tell people who do are making such a big stink about it. There are plenty of games outside of Sony that I enjoy that don’t have achievements, so if you thought I mostly game for trophies, well you’re wrong. And there’s no use arguing to me that the new trophy system is acceptable given the audience that Sony is trying to reach out to. We’re just going to go in circles.

trophynerd122 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I don‘t really get the point why the majority is complaining about the new level system. It is basically the same irrelevant piece of information like that golden star showing a level next to your name before. Only people whose game list consists of 99% Ratalaika games should be worried . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflating numbers are just dumb. Isn't stacking platinums that take ten minutes inflating numbers in the first place? The whole trophy system is inflated. It actually is very similar to real monetary inflation--if you keep printing money, it becomes devalued. If you keep pushing out shovelware plats, plats are devalued. Someone can have 100 plats from games that take 100 hours to plat each, or 100 plats from games that take 10 minutes to plat. Whose "achievement" is greater? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurseTatiana Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) You need to reach 1200 platinums for level 999. 999=175 old level system. There is already an explanation of it in the other threads. 1. Ask urslef a question if its worth getting there or not. 2. Sony don’t care about the trophy hunters at all so it’s not worth whining about the new level system. We have to get used to it. 3. Rata will make a lot of money for sure. My opinion Personally I had a goal to reach level 40 before Christmas but now plans changed up a bit. PS5 is coming up next month that’s what I will care about.

I am not crazy enough to spend that much money for games. Some people spent $200,000 on games so I can’t even imagine that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the new trophy cap is impossible to attain unless you pay tens of thousands of dollars real cash. The old cap costs a lot of money too...

JD-D2 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Sony’s idea here is to incentivize people to play PlayStation more over a longer period of time. Increased engagement, etc. It’s a treadmill. They want you to stick with PlayStation for years and years (PS6, PS7 even) and use the trophy level as an incentive to see out your “gaming journey” with them. It’s not something anyone is meant to get right away, unless you’re genuinely trying to be like Hakoom or others like that. It’s not something you have to “pay tens of thousands of dollars real cash” to get, assuming you don’t just mean...paying for video games...which of course is something people would have to do to get video game trophies. In other words, you’re in the deep, deep, deep minority here in terms of your priorities — which I’m not judging by the way! It’s just what it is. Most people are gonna take their time. Best of luck to you, though! Edited October 10, 2020 by JD-D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty much impossible. My goal is to reach level 800 then I’m not playing anymore 1-hour plats. I guess we’ll see.. Need 61 more levels, roughly 130-150 platinums.
