Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

After a concerted effort, finally managed a platinum in Bioshock for PS4. Next up, 100% the game with the DLC, then on to Bioshock 2. Really enjoyed the two playthroughs I made on this one.

Wow! I'm already at 28% in the first Jak and Daxter title!

Awesome! I finally got my first Platinum Trophy this morning. Jak And Daxter is a pretty good series!

I'm really struggling to get the motivation to play through uncharted 4 due in part to the trophies. You need to follow a guide for the collectibles which I dislike doing but don't have the time to play games twice or thrice anymore to mop up stuff. Its so frustrating. Part of me wants to push on, then this other part of me wants to hunt the collectibles. Does anybody else suffer from this?

@Rukiafan7: What system did you plat Jak and Daxter on?

@themcnoisy I've dealt with that before, and I just usually put off 100% completion if I just want to enjoy the game. I usually do this with RPGs, but I've put off Uncharted 3 before due to the treasures and difficulty. If you just want to play it, feel free to put off that Platinum until later.

Got my 400th trophy today!!!

Got it while playing Overwatch.

@DerMeister: @Kidfried: I'm gonna have to do exactly that.

@Tasuki well done pal, what level are you on psn?

@themcnoisy: I don't remember but I want to say like 8 or 9. I know 400 may not seem alot to most but for me I am happy. Honestly I dont go actively seeking trophies many because of how many games I have for various systems. So while I may have a small amount each one is nice to me due to that fact.

Platinumed Attack on Titan.

Gameplay (mechanics) is really fun but gets repetitive. Best suited to play in short bursts especially if you're planning to farm materials for the 100% gallery trophy I feel. Hope they add more variety in terms of missions if they're planning to do a sequel.

After a while of disc problems, I finally platinumed Uncharted 3. That's #12 for me.

Out of the Uncharted platinums I have so far, 3 is the hardest for me. The ship graveyard and fire djinns can go F off. The awkward aiming doesn't help either.

@DerMeister: Nice, for me the difficulty with the UC trophies had always been the MP related ones.

I was going to go for the platinum in Valkyria Chronicles Remastered but then there was one trophy which put me off. Something to do with collecting bits of information on all of the characters and unlocking their potentials. I hate when there's one trophy that you just look at and you're like, "Nope. Can't be bothered to do that."

As someone who doesn't 'chase' trophies/achievements but do try and get them IF they meet with what I am doing (like complete a specific challenge in a mission for example), I still only have 1 platinum (Imfamous:2nd Son).

That being said I recently completed Titanfall 2 and have 95% of the Trophies - just missing the two from running the Gauntlet which would give me the Platinum too...

So i've been chasing the Plat in Bioshock 2 with 1 run through. One of the trophies is to get full research by using the camera to meet all the research levels for different baddies. Turns out that you only have 1 level to get the Thuggish splicers as they don't appear in the level after you get the camera. There is no way to go back in Bioshock 2 and I have nearly got to the end. Sigh...

The one thing I hate about trophies and I have yet to experience this on any other games but Lego games, but why is it when playing a two player games sometimes only player one gets a trophy even though you both do the task?

Like for example in Lego Jurassic World the Trophy you get for completing all story levels popped for my son (he was player one) but yet I didn't get it? We both did all the levels together so why didn't I? I guess for me to get it I have to play through it again. Yeah but no thanks. This is one of the instances where I say that trophies are added just to force replayability.

@Tasuki: I think some Lego trophies especially in coop are glitchy. I'm having to rerun a level in the avengers as if you play it on a save 💾 ie) you run the first 1/3 of the level save and exit and then come back, it wont pop for one player. Obviously I never knew that first time around. It actually made me shelve the game as rerunning a 40 minute atypical boring Lego level isn't my idea of fun.

@Rudy_Manchego: And this Rudy ruins games as a part time trophy collector. I don't want to view a list / guide / strategy for collecting trophies until I've played enough of a game without spoiling it. I've tanked on ffx as a major example as there's a heap of missable trophies - but I wanted to play it at my own pace, that was an error. 50 hours in and 13% trophies Your example of missing something unobvious and then looking at the trophy list and your too far gone to ever get the trophy for the rest of your life really REALLY gets my goat.

@booshy89: What are IGC games? So Transistor is a gimme then on the trophy hunt? I may pick that up as I've heard good things (and forgot about it when it was free on psplus).

I do wish there were less grindy trophies in games, the 3 games im currently playing I need 120 yellow stars in grimms tale, 100 golds in need for speed rivals and a 50% winrate over 100 games in everybody's tennis. Its so lazy and time consuming, there could easily be less levels in all of these games or less grindy trophies. That 100 game 50% service wins is horrific, I'm a neat 25 games in and having loads of fun with probably 10 or so left from completing the game...... How the hell will I ever play the remaining 65 games without wanting to throw the ps4 through the window?

@Kidfried: @booshy89: @themcnoisy: Transistor is a ton better than Bastion in my opinion, to the point where it's one of my favourite games of this generation and one of only a small handful I've platinumed. Aside from the setting, story, soundtrack and characters (that I thought were all more apealing than Bastions) the combat is the main reason I prefer Transistor so much.

@kyleforrester87: a WigSplitter recommend - that's usually a good game so will pick it up!

Got the platinum for Ratchet & Clank All 4 One today, also among system issues. That's #13.

Time for a break from cheevo hunting until I'm close to another platinum.

@kyleforrester87 Transistor is a game I've had my eye on since it first came around. Been wanting Bastion as well, so they'll likely be among my first PS4 games.

Just platinumed Lego Jurassic World. Great game over all and if you are looking for easy trophies then I do suggest Lego Jurassic World.
