    Do whatever you think you want to do but remember that those platinum trophies are just digital achievements.
    The real achievement is real life.
    And the real thrill is to play the game for the fun, not only for completing the trophies.

      That's why I do 100% on very few games that I like the best. If the grind is unreasable and/or too difficult and stressful, I wont do it. Trophies should be a fun add on to a fun game. I hate what some devs do to some throphies.

    I definitely take breaks from trophy hunting time to time.

Gaming at the end of the day is about personal enjoyment and I like that it gives us a purpose as you said.

    You make some great points. I have around 200 Plats I think at this point. I’be been getting trophies since PS3 in 2009. But I must say that I’m on the way out as far as trophy hunting goes. I’m enjoying games a lot less. I’m leaning more toward Nintendo Switch as well. I tend to have more fun on that console and I think some of it was the fact that there are no trophies. I’m having more fun than ever now since I’ve stopped going after Plats.

    I feel this. Sometimes I want to shift gears and lately I’ve gotten really into Animal Crossing (late to the party I know) but man I’ve been loving my time with that and I’ve been doing an equal balance of that along with my trophies. Really love my switch for this. Sometimes too getting home from work I want to play something but I don’t have the energy to sit at my desk and do something that requires a reasonable amount of brain power: my switch is an excellent alternative to this.

So vaguely get what you mean :)

  • @b.3015
    @b.3015 Před 2 lety

    Firstly I'd like to say great video! I find myself in most of the things that you have mentioned.
    I find that whenever I have gotten a platinum trophy I got the most out of my game. It depends on the game of course, but I have that with most games. It also brings me back to games that I love, but haven't gotten the platinum for. Bloodborne is an example of that. Still need to get that plat.

    I feel you on quitting trophy hunting. I'm constanly worrying about adding more games to my list from my backlog even though I'm super hyped to play them but the trophies are either to hard or the game's too long (examples are Shadow of War, Bioshock Trilogy, Darksiders Trilogy). And then I end up playing a game I don't lik as much just for the trophies.
    Still love trophy hunting but it's sometimes getting on my nerves

  • @thaelrynvecna2953

    I used to be that way, yeah, if I started a game, I needed to finish it and get all of them. Made me burnout and start getting stressed, which is the exact opposite reason of why I game. Now I go for the games I really love, but if it stresses me out, I just don't let it bother me. Started Cuphead today and popped three trophies. Will give it a good try, but honestly, I do not think my reflexes are up to the task, lmao.

    If you're following a guide right out of the gate then in my opinion, you are just in it for the trophies. Which is fine (I did that for a while) but in my opinion it kinda sucks the fun out of it real quick. I always go through games first and enjoy it for what it is, then go for trophies if I so wish. At my own pace now.

  • @theslasherspotlight81
    @theslasherspotlight81 Před 2 lety

    I've been playing several retro games this year as in Mega Drive and PS1 games. While doing so one of the perks I've found is that I don't have to worry about missing collectables or playing on challenging difficulty levels etc. I'm going through GEX 3D Enter the Gecko for example at the moment and it's nice to just be able to play through it very casually and not be concerned with fulfilling side objectives and whatnot. In some cases as well with these older games they haven't held up very well by todays standards so having to multiple playthroughs would be a pain. I finished up with Overblood a while back and it would have been painful should I have needed to play it any more than I did (which I perhaps would have needed to do had trophies been involved).

  • @MalevolentMinun
    @MalevolentMinun Před 2 lety

    Can't agree with this more. Trophies/Achievements have been a huge part of my gaming experience since I was a teenager and I'm so particular with which games I add to my main account, always wondering not only will I even have the time to complete it, do I believe I have the skillset to actually do so? Whereas Pokemon as a series has been my wind-down and relax games, even if my OCD completionist mentality refuses to let me play without finishing the Pokedex, to the point where I even go overboard and do a full Living Dex in every game. Thank CHRIST the Switch never added their own trophy system, since I can actually just enjoy playing without the stress of grinding or meticulously planning playthroughs on certain games. Like if there was a trophy list for Breath of the Wild, I would've driven myself absolutely batshit 😅 Great video! Just recently found your channel a couple of days ago, you seem super cool and I'm midway through binging your backlog of content. Also always nice to see a fellow completionist to make me feel less insane on how I play my games 😬😆

    I still love going for trophies, but I stopped going for the really easy 10 minute to an hour trophies at the end of 2019. I made goals for myself and it’s been really fun. 2020 was all about knocking off the backlog and I completed I think 55-60 games in my backlog. And this year I wanted to add some more respectable platinums to my account and got them for Civ 6, DS 3, bloodborne, death stranding and more! But I also stopped looking at my completion rating on PSN profiles and looked at it like a gaming journal that goes back to 2009 and it’s cool to see the growth in what I’ve played!

    honestly i agree with all the pros and cons you talked about man awesome vid too, for me Trophies give a sense of an end goal and other things to push for than just the satisfaction of completing a game, they can drive you to push for things you wouldn't normally go for (although this can be good and bad in some games lol) for me now Trophy hunting has become a game in itself, i feel the concept of being able to track all your gaming feats through trophies gives you a feeling that your experiences in them games haven't been lost to the void and other players can see what games you have played and experienced through them rewards

    Researching games for missables and how many playtroughs. Making a blank account for trying out games. Working towards trophies, having mundane tasks in other word grind to achieve anything. If you think about it, these are often the reasons many people stop collecting trophies, they somehow mess with your mind and not having them can give you anxiety just like an addiction. When I stopped collecting it was very hard for me to ignore the trophy list so I can totally relate if some people need them to have some kind of purpose when playing.

    I generally can't be bothered to play something without trophies now. The satisfaction of earning them has become tied to my gaming experience. I have the same desire that you described to be working toward something, even in my hobbies. I'm not too fussed about having the perfect 100% account though, so when a game is asking for unreasonable amounts of time, extra playthroughs, or I'm just tired of the game, I will move on without agonizing over my completion percentage. My current completion percentage is 72% but I do want to work that up to about 80-85% and keep it there. I have a bunch of games at 1-10% that I started out for one reason or another and need to go back and actually give them proper attention. This includes some big titles like RDR2, Ghosts of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3, Hollow Knight, etc. Currently working on Skyrim which was at 1% from April until November and now is 40%.

I love trophy hunting but it can be nice to just play a game without having to worry about trophies. More relaxing that way and prob a better first playthrough in alot of games. My frequent PC play as well as the fact I don't have PS+ for online trophies is why I have so few platinums. Or at least alot of the reason. Despite this I am proud of what I have and am always up for more.

    Yeah I agree with your points 100%. I’m not that obsessed with my PSNProfiles page so I’m fine with playing a game, getting every trophy I can and then putting it down until I wanna go back to it and clean it up, so it’s not as freeing to just buy a new game and play it. It kinda makes it feel a little pointless without trophies. Like, if Pokemon Brilliant Diamond had trophies I’d have beaten it by now. I got it day 1 and haven’t played since the day after because I started The Last Of Us on the playstation. It’s also effort to swap my HDMi’s over to play the switch instead so I don’t put that effort in and I’ve found many switch games I haven’t beaten because of that

    I only play playstation however, SMTV is swaying me towards a switch.... trophy hunting has many positives also many negatives. There is self pressure to plat games and many have ridiculous grinds. Since having kids, time is sparse and the pull of casual gaming without that nagging need to platinum a game or keep a high completion percentage is strong. I'm done with the leaderboards though, it's even hard to break top 2k in the UK without grubs.

      This is my issue too. The problem is I keep thinking about trophies and how great some PS4 games are with them but then again I play some classic PS1 games on my Android phone emulated for free which without trophies feels so much more better and realistic to my situation of also having kids. I'm also like I can't ignore my kids to play while with my phone or even switch I'm able to play without the tv or waiting for them to sleep. I feel emulation on a phone or PC is the best thing for me right now

    I like my Switch lite (Special pokemon edition ;)) but I wish Nintendo would implement a trophy system.. Been trophy hunting for a decade and it just makes me try things I never would try or explore parts of the game I would have missed. I never used to try to challenge myself with higher difficulties before trophies either. Would like some shiny awards for beating Zelda or Smash Bros. or Ultimate Alliance 3. Would like even more if Sony bought up Nintendo and won the Japanese gaming war.

    I feel I enjoy the trophies more when you don’t have to do multiple play throughs god of war did it the best by having you do everything in the game one time around and earn the play. Once I’ve seen the story I find it hard to care about going through a game a second time

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trophies, as long as they’re actually rewarding. If it requires grinding or collectible hunting for hours, then I feel less inclined to do so. Playing a game should feel relaxing. It shouldn’t feel like a task.

    I'm curious, did you ever feel 'guilty' when you had free time to play and you weren't earning any trophies to your account. I hear this from people who've had breaks from trophy hunting saying they've had a nagging feeling creep in that in the time they've been spending gaming elsewhere they could have had another couple platinums in that time-frame.

Oddly enough I have more trouble on wanting to play PS4 with trophies or older game consoles on my Android phone which is even more convenient than switch (shit the Asus ROG phone with 16 or 18 GB ram which is even more than PS5 can emulate Metroid dread and that just came out not long ago)

    I have no problems with trophies per se, but a huge proportion of them take no skill to acquire other than pointlessly doing some irrelevant nonsense that takes up a huge a
    mount of time. Bashing dummies all over the map and bowing to sign posts in Horizon Zero Dawn comes to mind. Get rid of these pointless and dumb trophies then we would have a good system.
