Nah, life's too short for that bollocks.

Whatever floats your boat. If you want to grind away at 1000 ranked wins in Kane and Lynch be my guest.

I've got platinum trophies in a few games but it's just stuff where it's near impossible not to (i.e. Telltale games and I think Flower) rather than because I've set out to. I will sometimes review the trophy list for a game when I'm near the end and if there's stuff in there I could mop up that would also be engaging/interesting/fun then I'll go for it, but it's not something I find particularly compelling in and of itself. 99.9% of the time I look at the requirements for the full trophy set and it includes a whole load of boring or just massively time consuming nonsense so I just fuck it off. Most devs seem to feel the need to add at least a few trophies that only the most obsessive weirdos will ever get purely in order to satisfy that segment of the market and as long as that's the case I'm never going to feel platinums are achievable so I'm never going to care.

ETA: yeah, I've just checked and my only platinums are three Telltale games, Flower and Arkham VR.



He's a silly boy though, for spending years of his leisure time chasing this sort of pish.

How is The Albino Kid?

I agree

Also, when I played Assassin's Creed 2, which I loved, there were so many things that were enjoyable to collect, such as the freelance assassin missions, and so many that weren't, such as the free-run missions, so it helps that you know you'll never max a game again when you're only playing it for fun instead of a completion percentage.

Excellent point. Similar to how I felt in Crackdown. Climbing the agency tower was pointless, but fun, exploring but not grinding, coming back to get that little bit higher as my character got better jumpy legs - and getting a cheevo for hitting the top was a nice little bonus. Then jumping off to meet a certain doom was fun too.

I came close, so close to beating Ouendan on the unlockable super-hard mode but the last two levels before the finale were too tough for me. I really wanted to beat it but eventually just ran out of steam.

Didn't you get a cheevo for jumping to your death, too?

I missed the first time I tried and had to climb to the top again.

So you can miss certain dead?

At the harder levels the spinners were too difficult to spin fast enough to stop you failing slightly later on I found.

Yes, I found the spinners were the bits that really messed me up. Without those being so brutal I possibly could've finished as the beats and the trackers were hard, but reasonable. The unskippable intros made failure even more painful.

I might dig out the DS and play a bit more Ouendan.

You can track Steam achievements now.

Only for about 4 years or so.

Nor has True Trophies, really. But TA seems to still be going strong.

I just think they were late to the market with PC as there are tons of them already.
