Games Like My Name is Mayo 2 Ruined The Value Of Platinums

[maurjen]

I find it funny how people would attack a game cause its easy but yet people are being told off if a game is too hard like "git gud". Fact is noone cares if you have an easy list or hard list or how high you are in the scoreboard (never was interested in the scoreboard even before easy games arrive). I remember a couple of people who are defending hard games say things like to play other games if its too hard but in the end they did but now there getting shamed. The point is if they enjoy collecting or just want another easy plat for relaxation from a hard game go for it no need to shame games or anyone from this.

Ever since these type of games started releasing in huge numbers. I’ve just started completely ignoring the main leaderboard and I’m completely ignoring all these games. Not worth my money, not worth my time. Not even 1 dollar and 10 minutes or whatever it is. I’m ignoring plat-count/trophy-count when looking at profiles as it simply means nothing anymore and if I’m looking at a profile filled with these titles, I simply back out. Not interesting. I just go on playing proper games like I always have and support the devs that deserves support.

 

Ruined the value? Yes. Does it really matter or bother me? No.

Probably the best comment I’ve read on this entire thread. 
 

At the end of the day, the only person who cares about your stats is you. 
 

The value means nothing now. If there were good standards in place, HITMAN and HITMAN 2 both deserved a platinum, instead you get a 100 percent title for both that comes with a lot of DLC. 
 

Hakoom and Roughdawg4 can get as many trophies as they want. Doesn’t bother me considering the leaderboards were a joke long before Ratalaika started releasing their games en masse. 
 

I feel much happier and satisfied by playing games that are worth playing. Even though I have a lot of easy games myself, I wasn’t happy with a number of them. Therefore I decided to quit doing them.

I'd go off on a limb and say some people like myself don't give two filps about leaderboards, since platinuming games is just a personal hobby with no real life reward other than personal satisfaction and bragging rights. So playing my name is mayo both for added trophy count as well as the hilariousness of it is enough for individuals like myself. But for people who take leaderboards seriously, of which personally I don't understand unless there is some monetary value in it, I can see how this could grind their gears. I'd also go as far as to say for people like myself, we mostly have access to this site because of the convenience it gives with various guides and syncing for trophy tracking. So leaderboards could also be something we couldn't care less for. But I am just one gamer out of thousands lol what do I know.

"Value of platinums". That's a joke right They haven't been worth anything since 2008.

 

Randy Pitchford of Gearbox was right on the money when he explained their trophy philosophy in Borderlands 1. There is a sales incentive to not be too difficult with the list.

 

I don't remember Randy saying anything like that, but if he did, he must have lied, TPS and the Borderlands  1 DLCs weren't exactly a walk in the park, not at all.

It's sad that negative people doesn't care about Mayo 2. But I do care about it. Don't let negative people drag you all down. It doesn't matter how or what platinum trophies you valued the most, it's simply how proud and how much you put an effort into it.

well said.

how many active people on this site? 80k. How many people own a PS4? around 112 million. yeah majority of the people could give two shits our have no clue or even don't care about this site. Honestly if you're serious about being on the leaderboard and get triggered because of these easy games you really need to straighten out your priorities. At the end of the day nobody is gonna care about your profile but you.

They already see me as a whiny asshole on these forums, so I basically have to deal with it.

No way are there 80,000 active people on this website. 
 

Most tracked accounts on PSNP aren’t trophy hunting accounts at all. Then you have to consider that there are roughly 50,000 - 100,000 accounts that get updated somewhat regularly. 95 - 99 percent of those people barely ever go to PSNP, and percentage wise none of them have Premium accounts, which gives you more privileges for paying money out of your pocket. 
 

Also, there are many trophy hunters who don’t have a tracked account on this website. People who joined up on these forums and made up a few posts represent an even smaller percentage. The completionists and hardcore trophy hunters? An even smaller percentage. 
 

So roughly, you’re speaking to roughly less than 1 percent of people who trophy hunt and post here occasionally on this website. Over 99 percent of those 112 million who bought a PS4 don’t even have as little as 100 - 200 trophies on their account, let alone 500 - 1000. Most people will never see 100 - 200 trophies in their lifetime. They probably buy the latest Madden and Assassins Creed, play the story, then do other hobbies in life. 
 

I have spent thousands on games. Most people will never spend as much as me in gaming in their lifetime. So in a sense, I’m sort of grateful that we are above and beyond what the average gamer is. 
 

But this constant volleying, arguing over our differences in viewing trophies, treating the hobby with political like opinions, gatekeeping, seeing games as having no value in terms of trophy value..... all pathetic and stupid. In an age where anybody can get offended by anything, it’s amazing how many times I’ve gone on the defensive because a difference of opinion would turn into a personal attack. 
 

I see the trophy hunting community in the same light as the speed running community. Both are niche, both only have a select few participants, both are catered to specific individuals. The difference is they play games in a different fashion.

Having read through this thread today, and because of my point of view on these type of games, I’ve learned that apparently I’m a triggered gatekeeping elitist.

 

It’s not every day that you learn that you are that awesome. I’ll sleep well tonight. Thanks everyone ✌?.

 

Exactly! Since when does this community hate themselves so much or better asked why are so many people of this community shit on this hobby now like they wouldn't care?

Guys, c'mon.

 

This thread is really bringing out the worst in a lot of people - understandably to some extent I guess - this is, after all, a site about tracking trophy lists and player profiles, and people all have different standards, and will certainly get defensive if they feel their own standards are being maligned by someone else -  but really, this stuff doesn't matter, and shouldn't be cause for such vitriol.

 

Yes, Mayo is shovel ware. Of course it is - it knows it is. It is embracing that, and making a joke of it. Some people get the joke - actually, I'd say pretty much everyone (at least on this trophy-savvy site) get the joke - it just really comes down to whether it is your kind of joke or not. Whether that particular joke is your personal cup of tea, and whether or not you want to pay a paltry amount to participate in the joke.

 

Everyone on here has different goals and ways of looking at profiles. We have completionists, perfectionists, casual hunters, ultra-rare aficionados, big number hunters, leaderboard chasers, cherry-pickers and a million different shades of grey in-between.  

Where one person might see an impressive number of platinums, someone else might see a bunch of dribble-ware stacks.

Where someone might see a perfect 100% profile, other might see a cherry-picked list of easy AAA games.

Where some see a low-level, others see a skilled ultra-rare hunter.

It goes on and on and on. 

 

Part and parcel of having our own standards that we apply to our own profiles, if then seeing other folks' profiles through our own lens. We have our standards, and it is hard to see other peoples' profiles through any other lens, as that would require us to then see our own through that same lens - and potentially see our own achievements as potentially less than what we feel they are.

 

In the end, there are very few profiles on this site who could honestly say that every game on their profile was a difficult, satisfying achievement. We have, for the most part, all got at least some 'easy-ware' / 'shovel-ware' type stuff on there. Even in the category of great games, there are many that are simple trophy lists. If you can look at your own list, or someone else, and see that among the easy ones, there are some real experiences - some tough ones, or even just esoteric ones - ones that were clearly played for the love of the game and not the prize, then what does it matter if Mayo is on there too?

 

If  Trophies are experiences, and your profile is a record of that, then there will be easy ones and hard ones. If everything in life was piss- easy all the time, then yes - that profile will look like a spoiled child, but on the flip side, if everything was a rough-tough slog, all the time without anything in between, then that profile is simply a pathway to burnout.

 

Cut people some slack, and don't be so judgemental. Sometimes, people just want a little fast food. As long as that's not all they're eating, then they can still have a healthy profile. And if it is all they are eating... well... they have problems enough. No need for scorn and ridicule.

 

Kisses xx

The point I wanted to make was whenever threads like this come along it doesn’t take long before the name calling starts. 
 

You can make a bingo card and have a few names and sentences like: Elitist, Gatekeeping, Triggered, EZPZ Whore, Play For Fun, Toxic Community, and more shit like that on them and you have a bingo within a few posts. 
 

Like wtf is a gatekeeping elitist!? ?

 

It is pathetic.

I'm so glad I don't take trophy hunting half as seriously as some of the people on this site. Some people like difficulty, some people like watching the numbers go up. Most people, myself included, tend to sit somewhere in the middle.

 

No problem with any games like this, play what you what, fuck the moaners.

 

P.S. Already downloaded this when it went live last night but was waiting for the trophy list to go live. Going to enjoy blasting this out tonight.

I only got into Platinum trophy hunting during the pandemic and I agree with falling in the middle. I love my more hard earned Platinum trophies like Persona 5 and Dragon Age Origins but its nice to get a quick boost in rank

My Name Is Mayo isn't a puzzler.

 

My name is Mayo is a fun story what's your point?

 

Because if you enjoy something it's valid and if you don't it's not?

 

This is a stupid argument mate. Hitman GO would exist with or without platinums. My name is mayo is made specificly for cash grabbing into the wallets of trophy whores. Nothing more, nothing less. People saying "I woulda bought it anyways cuz its a fun story" are lying to themselves. Pressing a button over and over has nothing to do with being a game with any sort of purpose.

Not exactly true. Loads of people on this site gives a shit about peoples list. Many people "follow" the profiles of high skilled trophy hunters, to get inspiration. Loads of people value "a good list". If we boil it down, the people actively using PSNprofiles are peers, just like any other field(except trophy hunting obviously isnt, and shouldnt be taken as, a job).

[Joe Dubz]

I am just elated to once again point out that this game is still in the Popular Games this Week, now at #5    ??    

 

C'mon gang, let's make it #1!!    ?

SHUT UP ALL OF YOU MY NAME IS MAYO IS THE BEST GAME EVER AND IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE I WILL MAKE YOU EAT A WHOLE JAR OF MAYONAISE WHILE STRAPPED TO A CHAIR WITH YOUR HANDS DISMEMBERED WHILE YOU WEAR A BIKINI HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

...seriously it is impressive how long this thread is going. It actually is very interesting to read. Granted I'm only adding to it by making a post within the thread but still. Can we all just collectively agree that we all have different opinions about whether or not mayo is a good condiment and move on? We should all be playing both versions of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor right now before the servers close, but instead we are complaining about mayo.

Mayo forever

Not to further derail this thread (god forbid, not that staying on topic would change anything) i have already done my trophies for Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and even if there are people left who need them, there is a different thread for it.

My name is mayo objectively isn't doing that, if it would then why:

1. Aren't there more stacks? (could have been easily atleast 6 look at ratgames)

2. Isn't the price higher? (I mean, it could be 4 euro's to be more in range with rat games)

3. Are they actually putting in effort (compared to an asset flip like Road bustle)

 

Also this game came out on steam before it hit playstation and the reviews says enough that it has a meme status.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/434260/My_Name_is_Mayo/

 

Obviously they can capitalize on that meme status. The trailer hitted like a bus in that sense. (but business wise I would have done that a little bit sooner).

 

The achievements are the same btw, I see the decision to make it a plat so that it has all the trophies sill in place. (evoland for example did the same).

 

---

 

I'm all in talking about the devaluation of the trophy system and the uprise of companies (ratgames) that capitalize on trophy whores with cheap ass list and multiple stack because they know it works.

Though the hate (if ironic or not) on this game specifically always felt misplaced.

 

So I consider myself a mayo bro now as well

some of you say that only trophy hunters played mayo but a youtuber I watch named markiplier played the 1st mayo 4 years ago and he doesn't care about trophies so you are all wrong if you think only trophies hunters played this game

So because he takes part in the System he is in mean she is not aloud to critic it? I mean you could also say he tried at least before hating on something he doesnt know. Also all he says is the value is gone. i also have played some of this games because its kinda exiting the first few times but looking back at it i also feel like this games have no value to me and i kinda regret doing it. is this hypocritical now?
