I'm a little conflicted on them. They appeal to some OCD tendencies I have, and encourage me to get the most out out of games I already like. It's also nice bragging rights between me and my friends who like to get trophies or platinums. That said, it would be a lot more worthwhile if there was something to unlock or receive other than just a score and bragging rights. I haven't played on Xbox since the 360, but having the commander shepherd armor, helmet and omni blade on my Xbox live avatar back in the day was cool. It showed up when I played MP games with friends and others, and it SHOWED people "Hey this guy really likes Mass Effect and played the crap out of it." There's nothing like that on PlayStation. If they had avatars in PSN and cosmetics, items for a new PS Home, PS5 themes, PSN profile icons, etc. to unlock, it would really incentivize trophies.

@BertMan666 I am a bit perplexed why it didn't get more of a following. I guess there's just something fundamentally different about the appeal, but I would have thought the soulsborne community would be all over Returnal.

Deathloop being 50% off seems like it didn't do very well commercially at all.

Everyone can say it'll be different with Guardians, but I wouldn't touch that game after what they've done with Avengers.
