Undoubtedly the best mindset to have towards trophies, I've already done the same and I've been doing it for the last 3 months, ever since I got burnt out. This video is legendary and it speaks a lot of common truths behind trophies being a chore a lot of the time and hindering the experience of a game. But we all know that still won't stop us from earning the occasional platinum every now and then.
Thanks for the kind words!!
The important thing is you also found your sweet spot and are now having fun gaming after the burn out and still nabbing a Plat you deem worth it 😁🤘
Great video and points, mate! I am not quite there yet, because I love seeing my 100%'s in a row, but I know deep inside that it sometimes hurts my gaming experience.
Maybe one day I'll make that switch as well.
Cheers, bro 🤘
Thanks bro!
It's nice to see for sure I can't lie, but we all need to find a comfortable balance for ourselves 😁🤘
this is a really great mentality Steve, thanks for sharing this!
💪🤘
Yeah boy! So glad you found a comfortable space where you can enjoy the games but still tickle that hunger for trophies at the same time. Remember trophy hunting doesn't mean just getting Platinums, it means experiencing everything you can out of a game. Great vid, keep em coming!
Couldn't have put it better myself dude 🥹
Man its so good hear those opinions and and feelings, specially from someone influential on the trophy hunting community. Really glad u bring your experience and decisions about it, like myself, I bet that there are a lot of gamers who fells the same about the detriments of trophy hunting, sometimes it just ruins ape gaming experience plain and simple. Unknown_V2 is another influential UA-camr and Ex-trophy hunting that I enjoy to hear from
I kinda realised I should vent about how I hunt now, as I tried to be that perfect hunter during the dark ages but let's face it, it's not for all of us!
There's a way for everyone to get those Platinums at their own pace or style whilst still loving the process 😁💪
I totally feel you on this video man especially when you mentioned about playing how the guide wanted you to, I still have this massive issue myself dude, it's why I dislike missable trophies so much becuase I just felt like I had to potentially spoil my playthrough first time through
Exactly dude, you hate the thought of a missable so you play as a guide intends but then you feel like you're not really playing the game, the mystery is damaged.
@@VaultBoySteve thats it man when you feel your following a guide on your first playthrough you do start to think "is this alright" then it starts to feel like how you described when it can be more of a job, really like your take on it
wow, great arguments and points of view in this video. I basically agree with everything I've heard. I came to the same conclusion about not needing to platinum every game, but in my "system" I still force myself to get at least 50% of the trophies for each game. Sometimes we make mistakes in our choices or we are induced to play games by friends and acquaintances or even by youtube, but somehow that game caught our attention and had money invested. I really believe that 50% for those games we don't care that much is a good middle ground between not plating everything and also not leaving the game right at the beginning with that one damn bronze trophy.
It's a good system! I remember doing something similar back on the 360 - tried to finish the story at least and aim for 500-750 Gamerscore, which was very doable!
I miss your videos. You inspired me to try the Wolfenstein 2 Platinum and I did it! So, thank you. I hope you have found trophy hunting peace, Steve. I recently thought about this topic (while hunting the Platinum for Dying Light 2 and after I earned it). I argued with myself and decided: I am not there yet, but I respect you.
you got a really good point of view here if i could think like this about trophys it would be soo much easier gaming sometimes 😅
It may happen for you one day as well 😅🤘
This is definitely the best thing to do
For Me though I get 100% for every game (unless it has Online Trophies or requires a VR etc) even if I don't like that game.
Thankfully i search up gameplay of games I'm interested in playing and if I think I'll like the game, I'll get it!
This was a great video Steve!
Keep getting those plats! 🏆🤜
I admire the dedication!! Thanks dude 🤘
@@VaultBoySteve 😄
Glorious video mate, just what we all needed on a bank holiday ❤
Thanks brother, as was yours 😁
What’s bad for me, is I rarely ever play my Nintendo switch because it doesn’t have a reward system. I feel like a snob because most people I talk to about games don’t even think about trophies and I’m all like “yeah that was a fun plat”. And also, for 99% of worthy platinum trophies I feel like most people, including myself, heavily reference a guide so it’s not so much about true exploration and delving, but research and persistence/ignorance. Like you kinda said, this trophy mindset sometimes feels like a shackle on my wrist and can really ruin my gaming experience… oh well, something to work on
I had the same experience with the Switch and PC, it is indeed something to work on, and the more you do it, the less you care about the lack of trophies!
There's definitely a balance, I hope you find yours 😁💪
I've been binge watching video VaultBoySteve! I enjoy them alot, keep it up funny guy tooo:)
Thank you!! Sorry for the late reply, this was caught in the filter, idk why 😅
Great video love to see people take their experience where they want to💪
All in the name of maximal fun!! 😁
Excellent video man, loved this discussion, gamer 1st 💯✌🏻
Cheers dude!
Can't wait to see what content you end up making in this medium 👀😁
@@VaultBoySteve lots of failed platinum attempts as it stands 😆
@@CareerModeConnoisseur Can't wait to see em 🤣
Excellent Video. I will always have a look at the trophy overview before starting a game but I totally agree about not using a walkthrough on the first play through. Enjoyment from the game should always be the top priority. I tend to read all the reviews before I buy so I normally only end up with titles that I know I will enjoy. The one exception in recent times was probably Cyberpunk - I wanted to get the plat in one play through which meant having to spend my attribute points in certain areas rather than just doing my own thing. On a side note I’m glad the lurpak served you well during lockdown 😂
The Lurpack was a lifesaver!!
Enjoyment should always be our priority for sure, else why would we bother gaming? 😁
This is so true. I’ve turned down so many games because of multiple play throughs, missables or just really complicated lists. Going through my backlog now I just pick out the top tier games that I know or think I’ll enjoy like bloodborne that’s been on my list for 7 years but I still need to check the guide because I’ve rarely played a game I can stomach a second play through off but I try to keep it as spoiler free as possible if and when I can
I totally get that feeling! Bloodborne is brill, and there're plenty of spoiler free guides for it 😁
Nice to see someone else that disabled trophy notifications. I pretty much quit hunting. Now I game on Xbox and playstation. Don't even look at the trophy list till I've had enough and ready to move on to the next. It's hard not to see games as a checklist. It's even harder when you suffer with OCD.
OCD does indeed make it harder to sit back and enjoy the gaming experience.
As someone who has just completed a 30 day Platinum challenge attempt, I can say trophies being a focus is brutal, I'm glad I can now disable the notifications again and chill 😅
Great video. I also noticed I found myself looking at guides first, literally studying the game before I even play it and most times I ended up ruining the experience because I had already decided to go for the plat. Trophy hunting in a way is an addictive hobby once you have 1 plat you want more 😆. What I do now is that I have a second account where I try and play new games for the experience and if after a couple of hours and I really enjoy the game, then I will go for the plat on my main account, otherwise I will just finish the game and not attempt the plat. In short main account to platinum games, second account for testing and enjoying the game. 😁
"perfectly balanced" 😁
I get ya on that man, at times I was reading a guide before and was like "why am I reading a damn dissertation on a trophy before even playing the game?!" 🤣
That lube shortage was rough
Absolutely shambles, but thankfully the spreadable got us through 👀😅
I see trophy hunting as like a list of impressive and beloved games. I don't play a game on my main account unless I really like it regardless of difficulty as for new games I want to try multiplayer games and games I just don't care to plat, they stay on my second account where I don't care about any trophies so my ocd doesn't interfere with my fun and I can see trophy hunting as truly optional for the games I want to showcase and platinum for myself (because lets be real no one cares about anyones trophy list apart from there own) keeping trophy hunting truly fun and not something I'm constantly doing whilst never missing out on playing any game because of my completionist mentality by just sticking it on the second account with a completion percent of around 30 percent lol.
The second account is great to avoid missing out due to OCD 😁
video games should never feel like a job.
100% agreed!
Agree.
We should never lose touch entirely with what made us fall in love with gaming in the first place, before there was the meta game within the game of trophy hunting.
I only want to complete games that deserve my time. It's my stamp of approval. They showed up to provide a quality gaming experience, and so i'll show up and pay my own tribute with achieving it's platinum.
Well said dude, I completely agree, a Platinum is a sign of respect for such a great experience!
This is how I've been playing since 2020, prior to that my account was created at the p age of 13 in 2010. I've had a run of games but full completion on games were so important to me, eventually it went on to the extent where I discovered telltale games when I returned from my 4 year gaming hiatus in 2017 and I've stumbled across these "cheap/easy" plats. So managed to get in total 20 plats between genres and my trophy list looked clean but it was a disgusting display of easy/mediocere/average games.
Since that moment in March 2020 I retired from the perception of having a good display of completed games, and due to this I managed to plat games that were out of my league in my head. Never thought I'd plat Devil May Cry 1 & 3, Metal Gear Solid V, Dead By Daylight, Mortal Kombat 11, Red Dead Redemption 1, a series of Resident Evil games & also get some valuable plats from my backlog (black ops 1, dragonball raging blast 2). Now, ever since I quit.. I can look at my list and be proud and the list is getting larger. This is how gaming should be.
Agreed!!
I think the best advise for us all is "you do you".
There are niches and sub-niches within the niche of Trophy Hunters. There's those competing for the top spot in the leaderboards, there's those who revel on only completeing the hardest of hard games because everything else is too easy to deserve a plat, there's people like me who are doing what they can to improve their completion percentage and there's people who take it all in their stride.
Whatever type of Trophy Hunter you are, there's enough styles of approach to go with and no one has to feel they only fit into one of several tiny pigeon holes contained within a slightly bigger one, within the giant pigeonhole of "Gamer"
Perfect! I was influenced by people striving for 100% or high completion rates, and I respect their dedication immensely, but I was trying to be something I wasn't by emulating that behaviour and it clearly wasn't for me.
You do you is perfect, be yourself 😁
@@VaultBoySteve The conversation can also spill over into “Why do we end up with games we don’t like and how does that impact our further purchasing discussions?” as well as “great games but terrible trophy lists”
@@crouchingotter I like the sound of that conversation xD
I agree. I’m gamer first and trophy hunter 2nd. I’m at 242 platinums. I only plat games I enjoyed as well working on my next 8 at the moment. Making berserk band of hawks my 250th. At the moment playing a lot of Resident evil resistance, crazy fun imo.
I think we all need to remind ourselves of that from time to time, the games come first! Good luck on your 250th dude, Hella strong 💪
Did the Ac grind last month do you in xD I know ive been spending some time away recently and i feel a lot better for it, been out the house a lot lot more and just balancing life :) Keep up the good content
That's it mate, the balance is everything, especially with your pace!!
Maybe that month of AC tipped me over the edge 🤣
@@VaultBoySteve i can agree the month of boosting tipped me over i think, im slowly just going through far cry 2 single player atm now, since i need a slower pace, i need some longer games, i dont like short games haha
@@wooly9943 good idea mate, may help you massively if you can just get lost in a world and chill for a while 😌♥️
Great video mate and agree wholeheartedly 👍
Thanks dude 😁🤘
Monster hunter took me 194h and a month, but i also enjoy Monster hunter and have close too 5000h in all Monster hunter, but nothing like pokemon with 12000h in all games combined
If you enjoy the games it's worth every second 😁
I think what I wanna do going forward, is a mash up of ideas.
My way going forward is just going to be:
- Turning trophy notifications off for my first time playing.
- Look at the trophy lists after I'm finished playing for the first time.
- Still collect platinums, but only if I wish to grind out all the requirements, largely depending on how much I like said game.
So I'm almost still going actively for plats, I just won't be putting as much effort into them as I have been doing recently. Horizon Zero Dawn has made me want to make this change. I feel like the game isn't necessarily bad, more boring, pointless, a huge waste of time, the problem with gaming in general atm. I felt like after I finished the game and the plat, that the game was just a huge waste of time. Horizon Zero Dawn is unique, but super boring and too much effort for nothing in return.
Hopefully it helps me love games again. Trophy hunting revived my love for a period of time, now it's become a bit of a hinderance.
Mate this video was absolutely hilarious!!!!
I learn from the best 😜♥️
I enjoy games more like playing normally... I did trophy hunting then I got bored of that
I can totally see why! Trophy hunting is either motivated by OCD, boredom or a love for a game, so hunting every trophy in every game can get very boring. A balance needs to be struck, but it's not for everyone, fun is the aim 😄
Makes complete sense
💪
Multiversus is a masterpiece, I hope you did plat it.
Not yet 👀
@@VaultBoySteve I will help you
I'm playing GTA V right now for the plat and it's hard not to think about my next platinum.
I just reinstalled that myself today to get back on it, hopefully you're making good progress 💪
It's always fun to think ahead for your next though, any ideas?
@@VaultBoySteve Probably going to plat a horror game like Resident Evil games or Outlast.
@@unsungdog oooo a juicy horror, I like it 😁😈
I know you can delete your 0% trophy games. I wish you could choose to delete the ones you try, didn’t enjoy and get 1 or 2% random trophies and then it sits in your list.
A low tier deletion % would be cool!
Hey Steve can you help me boost dbfz arena matches no one played them anymore
I sadly don't have the time atm, there's plenty of sessions on PSNP or people in our discords that may help 😁
@@VaultBoySteve ok thanks steve
Can I have that kratos pop?
We will have to fight for him 👀
It's not easy lol I can't play my switch cause it feels like I'm wasting my time.
Oh it's deffo not easy, but it does get easier with time! I felt the same way playing Zelda and Pokémon but you eventually get sucked in!
I have a solution play more indies🧐
I be trrrryiiiing 👀😂
One thing that people don't realize is that Assist Features makes Trophy Hunting pointless since developers are now allowing them to be earned with what's technically Cheat Codes.
