I've joined Facebook groups that are full of those people. I dont understand it.
I like trophy hunting. I've currently got 101 platinum trophies but I would never let them dictate what I buy or my enjoyment of a game.

101!? I've got a whopping 2, both gotten back in the PS3 era lol. I wish they had like a "Plat" and a "Diamond" or something. 1 for playing through the game & doing most of the stuff in your average playthrough, and then one for the completionists. I think I'd feel a little more connected to trophies if that were the case.

Instead, it feels like I get a sizeable chunk through a game's trophies and find that to get the last 15% or so, you'll spend another 5-15 hours of random stuff that just ends up feeling like busywork to complete at that point. I end up leaving the game instead of getting them so I have a more positive feeling about the game when I've finished, rather than fatigued. I almost went back & got them on H:ZD & Ghosts of Tushima, but I stopped before I got there. May get them one day!

That's actually a really good idea. I don't have too many plats either (I've platted 7 since they were introduced in 2008, lol) but I do like trophies.

I particularly hate when you do most of the content in some games and still get a low trophy percentage unless you're willing to do some really boring busywork. I'm never willing to do that so I just come away a bit unsatisfied.

Diamond would be the first tier of trophy completion (signifying that you did a lot) and Platinum would be the top tier (signifying that you did pretty much everything).

Preach!

I wouldn't exactly compare the two at all, but you do you.

12 Minutes is a weird voyage the further you get into it.

The involvment of Willem Defoe and James McAvoy is enough to warrant my attention I think

Dude also dedicates his life to trying to get every PS trophy. He didn’t get all of those without sacrifice. The rest of us can’t compete with him.
