Top-Down Phenomena Vampire Survivors Confirms Platinum Trophy on PS5, PS4

Good to know it'll have a platinum to obtain.

do platinum trophies make or break a purchase for potential buyers? I'm genuinely curious. I used to be a bit of a trophy nut but never to the point that I would not buy a game if it didn't have a platinum.

@breakneck yup, for the community who are very into trophies platinums are important. Videogames are entertainment and for many trophies are also entertainment, if you have limited time to play vg you better go with the whole package.

@breakneck I routinely see people comment that they won't buy a game because the trophy list is terrible or doesn't have a platinum. I'd bet at least a fraction of those commentors did plan to buy it and then do skip the purchase...

Platinums are cool. Many of us think so, devs know it, xbox also knows it lol.

It’s not a make or break for me, but I have no idea why some devs just don’t even bother adding a Platinum trophy. It makes zero sense to leave it out.

@breakneck
If a game doesn’t have a platinum that means it usually has far fewer trophy challenges to go for. Less content is never good. It’s not that I wouldn’t play a great game without lots of /any trophy challenges, but I have so little time, and my backlog is so big, that the choice would be “great game without platinum” VS “great game with platinum challenge”, thus, in effect, I’d be less likely to buy a game with the lack of a platinum campaign.

Yeah, I can leave it or take. However, if there's ever a game that has me by the pure feels, then I am occasionally compelled to 'Platinum' the game. I've already decided, I'm going to 100% Dragon's Dogma 2 and the Plat is just another metric to play to. Great for games you absolutely love.

My most enjoyable Plat so far was Ghost of Tsushima

@NinjaNicky The "or something" is how much we enjoy a game. The Platinum, or trophy hunting in general, is an integral part of the entire gaming experience for many trophy hunters, like gameplay, story, genre, etc. That's what people who "laugh" at others fail to understand. It's all about being entertained and satisfied with my purchase. That kinda is the point. It brings a slightly psychotic smile to my face whenever I get one. That is far from "useless" and very valuable.

Well, I got all of the Steam achievements for the base game and some of the updates/DLC at one point — they’ve added more since the last time I played it — so I should have no trouble getting the Platinum.

Not sure if I should put another 83+ hours into it though! But I probably will 😣

I 100% this on Steam a couple of years ago and they keep adding achievements to it and I keep going back to mop them up. Currently on 198/204 with 200 hours clocked. My second favourite game of 2022 (just behind Elden Ring).

@breakneck In edge cases, if I was on the fence about a game, then I might pass over it if it didn't have a platinum.

@breakneck I would say its more encouraging to buy a potentially endless game when there is a platinum trophy

Day one for me. Know plenty of people who've recommend this.

This game is oh so addictive.
