By "unbalanced trophy weights" I am referring to a game that seems to give too much (silver for example) for something simple like a headshot, and at the same time would only give you a bronze for something difficult and time consuming.

I'm going to accuse RDR of being such a game. A silver trophy for getting a headshot in expert mode, but only a bronze for feats such as:
Finding and killing one of every animal, break in the top 3 horses, use a pardon letter with over 5K bounty (VERY hard to get to 5K), killing and skinning 18 grizzlies (not as easy as it sounds), and attaining Legendary rank in any challenge.

There's also alot of things that should have had trophies attached to them, and alot that shouldn't be there (imo).
Any game you can think of with the same problem?

inFamous, getting all blast shards is a bronze? Should be a Gold IMO. And Terminator: Salvation is a good example: every single trophy is gold except the Platinum :?.

Bad Company 1; the "getting all awards" in multiplayer has to be one of the most time consuming and hard trophies there is in ANY game, and yet it's only a bronze. Any silver or gold trophy is a joke compared to that one. I believe the one for 10,001 kills is also a silver, which should probably be a gold. But the awards one being a bronze is the most ridiculous in BC1. I gave up on the platinum for that one and also because I didn't feel like grinding out 10000 kills in a game I was so late to get started on. On the flipside you have Terminator Salvation which is what, 12 gold trophies just for playing through the game?

Dead RIsing 2 - 'Head Trauma' You basically have to go through and hit a zombie with every melee weapon possible (Benches, Crowbars, chairs, flower pots, toys..etc..etc.) It's hard to keep track with what you've already used and what you need to use, and it's only a bronze. Linger In Shadows - All of them The entire "game" takes about 20 minutes to complete and you're given 5+ silver trophies and some bronze for doing not much atall.

The ACII campaign trophies were all silver and it wasn't even difficult. Endwar's Dogs of War Trophy is not only crazy impossible its only a bronze. It requires you to play through an entire Online War with all three factions which is ridicoulus and is not even possible anymore.

BF:BC is pretty unbalanced, on one hand, there's a silver for killing 25 guys, on the other hand, there's a bronze for getting all MP awards.

Which includes 50 boat roadkills. :P

I'm not going to really accuse the game here, but simply highlight an example I noticed referring to unbalanced trophies that you want to see:)

Far Cry 2 has a gold trophy in the single player campaign for simply going into a certain part of the map (only accessible near the end) and then about 20 minutes later there is anothergold for completing the game. 2 relatively easy golds right... and then there is a bronze trophy for finding all of the diamonds in the game, and that is one hell of a time consuming trophy that isn't worth attempting. Its weird why the developers done this.

Socom: Confrontation. So many bronze trophies involve "Extract 10 VIPs" but they are impossible to get because the game ends if everyone on either team dies, even if the counter is counting down to extraction. However, something as simple as "100 Assault Rifle Kills, 20 Assault Rifle Headshots, 15% accuracy with at least 10 kills in a game" is a Silver.

i cant believe nobody has mentioned ssf4. getting the colors and taunts with every character, completing all the challenge modes, clearing the game with all characters = bronze!?

I wont even get into the online ones. But yet u get a silver for completing 100 special moves...

On the other end is PoP 2008. You get a trophy just for walking forward a cpl feet.

The Sega Genesis Collection had some really weird trophies. Bronze for level 2 of E-SWAT, where that boss was a bit of a pain, and only bronze. Get 20k in Columns was also bronze, which wasn't fair as you had to play Columns to get it. And beat the first level of Comix Zone - not an easy game, but also bronze. Then you get a gold for finding 100 rings in Sonic 3 or using magic 10 times in Golden Axe 3. Seriously?

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, possibly the most time consuming and the hardest game to get platinum at. Only a very few people have platinum on it, and they have gotten it by using several glitches to be able to get through several near impossible online missions.

Far Cry 2. You get two gold trophies within a few minute of each other in the campaign and the rest of them are all extremely difficult and normally only award a bronze, or a silver if you're lucky. The one big multiplayer trophy alone deserves its own platinum. :P

That grenade spam drove me to madness. I will say the intelligent AI is refreshing but damn they could hit you between the eyes before you even had a chance. Never helped by the squad that will ONLY move up when you do, firing blindly behind cover...only to hit nothing. You hit every point of the campaign on veteran that just sucked.

Red Dead was my first thought coming into this thread. Seriously? A Silver for a single headshot in Expert targetting mode? I got that in the first mission with 5 minutes of playing.

"Rockhound" from inFamous (collecting all blast shards) only being a Bronze is ridiculous.

Bioshock also has a few unbalanced ones. "Weapon Specialist - Acquire all weapon upgrades for all weapons." The Power To The People machines necessary for these upgrades aren't always easy to find. What's worse is that when you get to the final checkpoint in the game, it overwrites your game save and prevents you from going back to look for anything. I finished the game and I was one upgrade short of the trophy. And it's BRONZE. :evil: In fact, the vast majority of trophies in Bioshock take a long time to get and are ONLY Bronzes. The game only has 2 Silvers and 3 Golds. Hell, beating the game on Hard is ONLY a Bronze. You have to beat it on Hard without using Vita-Chambers to get a Gold.

Other games of note: Fat Princess, Burn Zombie Burn!, Resistance 2, Demon's Souls.

Demon's Souls, but it actually works out. An obvious one to me is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. You get a bronze for performing once a certain type of attack "Learned _____ Attack" but then you also get bronzes for killing 1000 enemies with each specific weapon and that takes a LONG time.

Assassin's Creed 2 and some on Demon's Souls. Killing the NPCs in the game is only bronze when some are harder than most bosses
