How much do you care about trophy's?

I used to make no effort to get trophy's but more recently have become more interested in trying to get them. I would never buy games with easy trophy's just to get more and still have only one platinum trophy but I can't deny that it is gratifying to get a trophy you have been working towards for a while.

So how far do you go to get more trophy's?

I like to get them. I try to get platinum trophies on all of my games.

I used to go for them, but not anymore. I have no desire to punish myself on the highest difficulty just for a virtual prize that brings me nothing and may not even be on the next Playstation anyways.

All that extra time I spent getting them I could have been playing other games and enjoying them. Hence why I'm just now getting around to AC2 and Batman AA

I've never gone out of my way to get trophies, if I happen to get one while playing a game then cool but ultimately it means nothing to me... I play far too many games to worry about trophy hunting, just don't have the time or interest.

Used to care about them, until I finally just decided it wasn't worth it the effort.

If I get them, that's fine, if I don't that is fine too. As for getting a plat, I do have some, but those were for games that I really loved, or I was just enthralled in the game world.

Not as much as I used to. I don't go out of my way to get them any more.

They are cool, but I only try to platinum easy games (from my library, not searching easy games) or the games I really like.

I usually play a game twice If I can't platinum the game after 2 plays I drop it and move on to the next.

goal for me is just beat the game

whatever i get ... i get

i do like the gamer cards for forums though but its misleading on how much i actually give a hoot

not that i don't like getting trophies ... i do just not going outta my way for them

I used to collect them and aim at 100%. But now that I can barely get any time to play games, I stopped even checking them.

Not one tiny little bit. I AVOID them, if I can. I consider it to be intrusive to the immersion, and nothing more than a Pavlovian replacement for unlockables or "New-Game-Plus"...

... "Here, play the game again, we'll ring a little bell for you to simulate actual reward, while not ACTUALLY bestowing ANYTHING upon you for your dedication" ...

Feh. Gimme a BREAK.

:lol:

Do as you wish fellow gamers, but for me, trophies are lazy replacements for ingenuity and creativity by the devs to keep the audience involved.

I like them. I'm not trying to platinum all my games or anything, but if there's one in reach or that I can legitimately get, I'll try and do so.

Trophy's are ridiculous in my opinion. They serve no purpose what-so-ever.

I don't care about them. I simply don't have that kind of time to dedicate to a game to try to get all of them. If I randomly get them through my playthroughs, then yay, but if not, I'll live.

I agree with what you said. I too use to make little effort in the way of trophy hunting, but as of late I have become much more of a hunter. And I would never just buy an easy game or game I didn't plan on purchasing in the first place just for the trophies. I view most trophies as a way to extend and flesh out the experience of games I already enjoy, although some can be a pain, I enjoy most of them.JogsterXL

This is why I think some trophy's can be good for a game. If a trophy encourages you to try and play different ways and to explore all aspects of the game (such as little side games/puzzles) then ultimately you are getting the most you can out of that game and get to see all the content the developers wanted you to.

At first it was fun, hearing that trophy sound. But after a while it does take away from the fun you're supposed to have in a game.

i could care less about them.to me,they are a lame attempt to add replay value to linear games.

i never get them unless i get them through playing the game as reaching mile stones or i stumble upon a treasure, but saying that i don't for them but when looking at my friends list of my close friends who do have ps3 i do like having more trophies lol

Dont care for them.

I never really cared about trophies, but I do like that little "ding" sound I hear when I've earned a trophy.

I have 152 trophy's only because I have a lot of games for PS3. But I really cannot say I really care about getting them. If it happens great if not I don't worry about it.

I used to care a bit... looking up guides and whatnot, then I stopped caring completely for a good bit and now I enjoy them in moderation.

They're kinda pointless to me except maybe to add some replay to the game and for bragging rights. I've tried doing the trophy thing, but it makes the game kinda boring imo.

Meh, don't really care at all.

Bragging about how many games you've platinumed = forever alone

I enjoy them in moderation, If the game is fun to me I'll explore the trophy options. However, I really don't put much emphasis on hunting them for various reasons.

I hate online trophies for example and generally majority of the games require to much of my family time to even remotely consider trying to platinum any of them. I find most of them boring, repetitive and just plain excuses to make very shallow or short game seem better.

I still haven't even gotten my first Platinum yet and I could care less. I play games for fun, trophies come along with that. :)

Trophies give me something to aim for if I believe it isn't too demanding to get. I won't bother it is too challenging. It gives me reason to explore in some games, especially for collectible trophies.

I usually go for platinums unless they're ridiculous. I've been a lot of MW3 online recently so I haven't obtained many recently though.

i don't care about them, as far as i feel trophies/ achievements are one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming.elbert_b_23

Complaining about something totally optional that you don't have to go for if you don't want, nice.

I love going after trophies and its fun. However I wouldnt consider myself a trophy whore. I dont play a game just for the trophies but if its a game I like then I will try to get a platinum for it. Youll never see me get Terminator Salvation or Hanna Montana because I dont want to play those games and dont care about my score that much to do so. I do check the trophy list before I play a game just so I can get the "missable trophies" that come along and to see how far I have left in the main story. Also I usually dont get a platinum immediately after playing a game. I'll play and grind until it feels like work then ill move onto another game. Then ill go back and start farming again when I feel like it. Ive done that with Infamous (played good/bad and did all trophies except for blast shards but got the shards in one day a year later), Rayman Origins (played the story and perfected half the levels, quit for a month and perfected the others), and Burnout paradise (Did the offline trophies completely, waited a year and did the online trophies when I got the move for the snap a pic trophy).

I will share my biggest trophy whore moment. I bought motorstorm on the ps3 just to automatically pop the platinum i earned on the Vita version. I also plan on doing it for the MGS HD collection.

I don't have enough gametime to care the least bit about trophies. I have such a huge backlog that I'm set for the next year or 2 already, grinding for trophies has abolutely no place in that or I'd never get to some games. :P

I'm the same way. I like having more trophies that some of my friends!

There are some games I enjoy getting trophies for but mainly I just play a game to beat it.

Depends, I mean sometimes I go for it. But I could only Platinum something I really like. REALLY like.

Even LA Noire, a game I love, I haven't gotten myself to finish getting the collectibles in. It's been over a year now so I probably will never get to it.
