mvpeast Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I am not sure if that’s a good direction for the ps5... Even more easy platinums and absolutely waste of money except for grinding leaderboards. Double lists ps4/ps5 versions, 1-hour platinums and cross region stacks gonna make trophy hunting even more pointless than it is now. I feel like Sony doesn’t care about me the trophy system at all and they never bother to set a standard for next gen. Each game should have 1 list and that’s it in my opinion. But seeing ps4 and ps5 stacks of same games means that it will be another mess. Edited November 9, 2020 by mvpeast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mvpeast Posted November 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I just saw a very easy game called “Goonya Fighter” on new trophy lists.

Popular Post FilmFanatic Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 Trophy hunting is what you make it. I go for quality over quantity and it’s certainly not pointless to me. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go for quality over quantity and it’s certainly not pointless to me. It feels like a chore already to keep track of which stack goes to which region and which game. Trophy hunting is very tiring if you are going for numbers. I reached my first goal of level 800 today but the next goal takes around 650,000 - 700,000 exps and I dont feel like getting there anytime soon. I didn’t play ps4/vita for like 7 years so yeah it’s very hard to choose “quality” games to play coz I had a broken ds4 controller for years and games are not running well on the old gen. PS5/Series X is the first good start for 60 fps 1080p gaming on consoles. I can finally start playing games “for fun”. Locked 60 fps is really the minimum requirement.

Popular Post TrueMrBubbles Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 Could not care less. Everybody is free to waste their money on shit games just to improve their ranking. I decided to not play those kind of games and not stacking any other games even this means I can't stack games that I absolutely love like the witcher and Bioshock. Everybody has a choice and the guys that care about ranking will have a blast with stacking a'd playing easy shitty games 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit rich for you to be complaining about the very thing you are doing. I am getting very tired of trophy hunting at this point. It’s impossible to get high level on psn without playing “easy games”. Those games take a lot of time to complete too because let say 1 game = 1-2 hours. That’s easily 1000+ hours. I am hoping that PS5 will set a standard for all games going forward. 1 list for each game and no more duplicates. Leave those in past gen and start fresh. BUT unfortunately it’s probably never gonna happen and it will be another mess again. Edited November 9, 2020 by mvpeast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have our own reasons for trophy hunting. But what you are doing I do not consider trophy hunting. You are trophy whoring and yes I do make a distinction between the two.

I played some quality games on ps4 too but going for leaderboard kinda forces you to “trophy whore”. There’s no other way to get couple hundreds of platinums that easily. I stopped trophy hunting for 7 years and I didn’t start 12 years ago so it’s already impossible to catch up. I got my first goal today so I am thinking about not going for the 999 cap. It’s just too much. 7 minutes ago, TrueMrBubbles said: Why caring about levels? If people want to play shit easy games then let them. Like the guy above it's all about quality above quantity.

I didn’t really grind on psn for many years and this pandemic kinda gives me the time to get some levels so I just want to see how far I can go by challenging myself. I plan on slowing it down when I get my PS5 though because I can finally play games at 60 fps/1080p on a console. I reached level 800 today and almost 700 platinums so I am pretty satisfied with the result. Edited November 9, 2020 by mvpeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Easy platinums are one thing, but I think maybe replications of existing trophies might be the biggest part. I've noticed stacked trophy lists have not been a thing for quite a while. It used to be the case you'd have PS3 Vita PS4 Vita PS3 PS4 PS3 PS4 Vita and especially now due to PS5 having the trophy tracking system and not introducing any form of PS4 PS5 trophy lists so far. Seems like there are actually going to be more trophy lists and stacks more than ever before. We don't know about VR yet but I guess PS5 VR stacks will also have repeated trophy lists, can you imagine that? If you have about 40 VR games on PS4, are you automatically going to have access to 40 more trophy lists on PS5? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don’t know the pain unless they tried to stack trophies. It’s very confusing and so easy to miss certain stacks. Some games are removed on vita store already without notice so it’s impossible to download them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 You better believe the PS5 will be filled with easy plats sooner or later, get your shovels ready! This one doesn't necessarily seem all that bad though, looks like a Japanese game with not-so-great English descriptions. But probably not your usual 15 minute platinum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is forcing you to buy every game with an easy platinum or multiple stacks of trophies and then play them all through to 100% completion for a virtual trophy which nobody but yourself cares about. If you have fun doing it, fair enough, but you are making it sound like it's something you're forced to do and every time Sony approves an easy game, you HAVE to buy and play it - you don't. Play games you like, obtain the extra trophies because you're having fun, and enjoy the game you're playing. Once you find it a chore or aren't excited at playing the games anymore, you need to step back and think if you are spending your time wisely or wasting your time for no reason. I don't even bother looking at trophies any more unless it's a game I really like - I'm happy with just finishing the game in most cases these days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying about smooth gaming but high frames per second doesn't equal more fun though. There are games that are even below 30fps which are bangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was level 800. Many people are stuck in the house in this pandemic so I challenged myself to see how far I can go before ps5 comes out. I reached gold 3 stars badge and I’m not crazy enough to go for platinum badge. It may come eventually but I’m not rushing it anymore.

It’s just that I really love action games and they kinda need 60 fps. Monster Hunter, dungeon crawlers genre, etc just to name a few. 12 minutes ago, BlindMango said: You better believe the PS5 will be filled with easy plats sooner or later, get your shovels ready!

They probably never will care, the trophy hunting community represent about 1% of playstation, maybe even less. Look at all the easy games, theres like 500 to 2000 achievers on average, that's low. If sony's pocket grow bigger even a little, they won't change anything. It will only affect the top players in the leaderboard since they constantly have to buy every stacks to keep their ranks. 1hours/fewminutes stacks are here to stay and everyone need to accept it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. It’s sad that we will never get a standard on the PSN. Trophy hunting is more like who has the bigger pocket. It’s a stupid system in my opinion.

Popular Post steel6burgh Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 I fail to understand what the new found concern is here on this thread. Are people concerned all a sudden about too many easy games and stacks? Play hard games then. You don't have to be concerned about trophy hunting being pointless you are in control of your own list and nobody ever cared about your list except you anyway. Easy games and stacks have been a thing for some time now. At least now we are getting some stacks for some actual real AAA titles rather than ratalaka bullshit. I don't stack games normally, only once, but I'm kind of happy to be able to get two new COD's for the price of one and Watch dogs twice for one price. In a year or two the cross generation stacks will disappear and you can go back to stacking ratalaka. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better to stack easy sub 1 hour stacks so that you can get a high leaderboard position then that's fine, no one else cares. If you want proof, make a thread to discuss some of the highest ranked trophy hunters on this site and watch most people say they have no idea who those trophy hunters are. If it makes you feel better to spend 100 hours platting some open world games or pushing yourself to beat some really hard games then that's also fine, no one else cares. The only leaderboard on this site that might show your effort was never implemented and is broken, not to mention no one can come to an agreement on how to properly calculate a rarity/difficulty leaderboard. Just play what you like and don't worry about what others play, it leads to a far happy experience playing games.
