So whatever happen to bearded bro and steve? The two juggernauts of the trophies thread are mia! I used to be kinda active in them but one day I just got sick of it, years worth of trophies just caught up to me and I got sick of it, this all started in about 2012.
I went through most of 2011 with no ps3, fallout new vegas being a game that seemed to have been coded by a child caused too many freezes and the ps3 couldn't handle the hard shutdowns anymore leading to it's YLOD. It takes a while to break an addiction but going cold turkey like that hit me hard, once I got my ps3 back after god knows how long I seemingly never relapsed, my trophy lust was kinda gone.
Until this happened
I did all that in maybe less than 2 days, Transformers was blessed by a developer who put 10x exp boost on forever since the online was dead(so much time farming...done in half a day suddenly) and I was literally 2 trophies away from plat in fallout. Friend bought dantes inferno which is actually a very solid game so that was a quick plat and he also got crysis which I loved as well. "Great, I'm back" I thought, the next few months went the opposite way though. Uncharted 3 ended up being a bad game(come at me), seemed only sentient rocks played payday 1 and blazblue ended up not clicking at all(they announced a new version a week later thats why I actually dropped the game).
Fast forward a few months, months are dry aside from the usual Playstation Plus fodder, platted the god of war origin collection and it just seemed like every game couldn't hold my attention for more than a few hours, games were just so dry and boring or straight up bad. I wanted my last real platinum to be Twisted Metal, but again it was a very buggy game with a online system being held together by strings and being the best Warthog online didn't mean shit when all your kills, games won, played etc. weren't being counted. I got sick of every game being broken and not working, trophies just simply taking too long(I collected 200 of everything too many times because trophy writers have the creativity of wood). The game that I would say truly made me question everything was Choplifter HD, one of the awful Plus fodder games that was just impossible to get 5 stars on everything.
Am I really going to subject myself to this kind of mental grief, play this awful awful game for something most people will glaze over and not go "wow nice job getting that trophy"? Kill 40k ai units in warhammer by myself, play boringshock infinite on 1999 mode because the game is perfectly balanced for that right, don't kill or get caught in dishonored but don't worry we won't tell you that rats eating unconscious bodies counts against you, I was just sick of all of it.
Since 2012 there's been very few games I've actually enjoyed playing, the last platinum I'm proud of is my One piece pirate warriors 1 platinum.
It was also my 45th platinum! I'm too lazy to get the plat for pirate warriors 2 because I have to do 2 controller shenanigans. I still want a PS4 so I can finally play last of us and things like that. That's my blog for the day.
