Trophies ruin the enjoyment for me.

I have this habit of whenever i play a game, I get this feeling that i should always get Platinum trophy for it.

And when i can't get one trophy i get really frustrated that i'd hate the game too.

Can someone help me get over this habit?

I guess i'll try that; Next time i buy a game i'll never look at the trophies unitl i've played the whole game.

I need help too. Trophies are preventing me to get some games simply because I may not like it and don't want its trophies to be implanted on my trophy list for an eternity. If only you could delete trophies I would be much more inclined to broaden my horizon. And I hate having trophies of games I have sold, it's as if the trophies are mocking me....

2 Possible Solutions to your problem

1) If you're having trouble with a trophy and you really insist on getting it, get help from a guide or FAQ. Trophies that you can't get because of skill are very rare.

2) Stop caring about Platinums. It's not a big deal if you get one or not. Personally, I usually just platinum RPGs and games I really like. RPGs because I'm a completionist and games I really like because well, they're games I like and it gives me something more to do

Sorry to hear that, I love trophies and wish I can get them all for every game but what comes first for me is enjoying the game then getting as many trophies I can possibly can the second time around. Enjoy the games that's what you buy them for!

I have to say this: did you purchase the video game for trophies or for the experience you're going to have with a particular title? I definitely don't let trophies affect my overall experience. In fact I'm not even aware of them until I hear that little *ding* sound informing me I just achieved such-and-such to which I respond "oh, cool" and continue playing;)

I do however understand where you're coming from because these trophies do bring a sense of accomplishment (sometimes even more rewarding than anending scene can provide) so I would definitely listen to those who recommend FAQs and I also recommend watching Youtube footage to see how it's done. Good luck in your platinum hunts;)

the cure is getting your HDD corrupted after platting 4 games. Happened to me, I could care less about trophies now

Just buy a game for fun, trophies are when you wanna get every little bit out of your game, don't worry about them, as they can restrict you from enjoying your first playthrough, after finishing a game then hunt for them if you like, trophy guides help a lot, as they always have a Roadmap recommending you what to do on your 1st playthrough.

My main goal with a game is to enjoy it and have fun and complete it not worry about the trophies.

try playing the game just to have fun? personally i like getting trophies but i rarely ever check them out, i get all of them by "accident" generally, i don't start a game thinking "ok i need to kill 500 guards with a spoon"

If your playing games for trophies, then your doing it wrong! Your first playthough should be about fun without worrying about trophies then go back if you enjoyed the game.Homicide___

This.

You could always try what I do, don't pay attention to any trophies...at all. The "Who gives a ****?" attitude always works for me!

I don't have a problem with normal trophies that are achievable, But the online trophies suck ***. Most of them are ridiculous and they are the ones that annoy me.

I guess i'll try that; Next time i buy a game i'll never look at the trophies unitl i've played the whole game.

Then you will get pissed off when you see that you missed a few trophies that you could of easily got if you had looked at the list beforehand...and will need another playthrough to get.:lol:

Just realize that once the PS4 comes out, all the work you spent getting them will have been wasted. People may disagree with me, but I don't believe trophies will transfer over from the PS3 to the PS4.

Don't view the trophies beforehand. Helps a lotSecret-Face

unless the trophies are missable like in Assassins Creed Brotherhood, so its always good to try to check it for those kind of trophies

Thanks for all the help! I'll try to enjoy the game regardless of trophies. :)

and it's true, I have work, school and friends that takes most of my time.

For me I like trophies but don't really concentrate on them so much through the first playthrough. If I find time I replay a game that I throughly liked and check out what trophies I am missing. I don't understand people though who just buy the game for the trophies.... I buy games that appeal to me for gameplay, storyline, characters, etc.-to enjoy

Only thing that bugs me about trophies is that if I totally did not like a game and will never finish, let alone play it again, its on my collection list :( lol. Looking at a 0% at a game I despise just erks me sometimes :P

hah i dont see what makes you bother so much about it. in my case both my brother and my friend have the same amount of the trophies i have and we compete everyday on the biggest amount of trophies u can figure how hard to play casually in my case

dont worry about it just do what everyone does, the first time just dont check the trophies (i know im curious too) and after the first playtrough go for the trophies, easy as that

I never focus on trophies on my first playthrough, after ive finished the game, trophies give me replay value which is great.Darthdaver90L
