Are you more casual than Cerny boi? I have the same number of plats but 337 trophy score

 

[Birdo]

So this is what he was doing when he should have been designing the PS5.

 

[BaneIsPain]

There is someone who is outdone Cerny by miles. Can’t remember his name but he sure does have eyes of platinum hunter.

 

[Arun1910]

He just changes that stuff in the database. They aren't real

 

[Portugeezer]

He was the lead PS4 architect, therefore hacks.

 

[Warnen]

I don’t think I have any. I don’t let a game tell me how to play, I play how I want.

Not your best mate lol

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Netted #143 yesterday (Vanquish PS4), #34 this year.

But I also had no role in coordinating a worldwide product launch during a pandemic, so I tip my hat to him and accept my beta status.

 

[Exede]

He probably owns Save Wizard and imports Platinum saves...

 

[01011001]

imagine still caring about achievements/trophies in the year 2020 lol

I can't remember the last time I even opened up the trophies menu on PS4 or my achievements on Xbox.

 

[ScaryBrandon]

No wonder ps5 ended up being inferior . While he was nerding it out chad Phil was partying and charming Lisa into giving him the stronger APU.

While I agree, I think you’re missing the point.

Trust me, it will get some bites a little later on.

 

[Kuranghi]

Trust me, it will get some bites a little later on.

I don't doubt, I just want to see you back to your usual form.

 

[Mister Wolf]

He has too much time on his hands working that white collar job.

 

[ethomaz]

Last time I checked I had 79.
I think.

That includes some though Platinums like GT5, Wipeout and Street Fighter IV.

Edit - Fixed the right number.. it is over twice what Cerny has.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Wow I’m really impressed with Cerny’s taste in games, especially the indie games he plays. But not a lot of PS3 titles which makes me wonder if he would ever reveal his Xbox Gamertag.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I got 90, but half of them are easy games. With platinums it's the tough games that count, getting a plat in Cuphead is definitely a huge feat. I don't think about buying this game, because I wouldn't want to destroy another controller.

 

[borborygmus]

He has a good excuse to play a lot. "It's for my job."

 

[AJUMP23]

He is the reason behind the new hint system. To help everyone get the Platinum's like him.

 

[DonF]

God damn, cuphead platinum is awful! Very hard trophy! And frankly, a waste of time.

 

[Hudo]

Is that why we never got backwards compatibility for PS3 games?

 

[SkylineRKR]

I have about 15 but I wouldn't mind if they removed this feature, honestly.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Probably just hex edits the code to plat_troph(1)

 

[prag16]

Lol I have one platinum.

How does he have this much time to play games is my question.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Thread title is misleading, it implies that trophies measure skill instead of time served.

 

[EliteClarity]

Because I have none. Thats right. None. Iam a loser and a terrible gamer. I can't be arsed with trophies tbh. It feels like a chore to chase them.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Just checked and I have 35.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Uh.. The level count is independent from the trophy numbers?
I have 64 plats, but I'm only level 359.

He probably owns Save Wizard and imports Platinum saves...

That's not how it works for most games....
Does cuphead allows to make saves right before you trigger each trophy?
A save before a person unlocks the plat resigned will only unlock the trophy before the plat on your account, not all the previous ones.

 

[myfriendtim]

I think it's too important as an easy source of information to developers for achievements to be removed. My guess is the reason you get achievements just for completing chapters in games is so developers can track your progress and compile everyone's data to make inferences about game design.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[VertigoOA]

I find this hilarious.

Welp... He has my respect

 

[diffusionx]

I try a lot of games and move on before I get platinum. Incomplete trophy lists, many such cases! Sad!

 

[Soodanim]

Mark Cerny is Neo at the end of The Matrix. When you see in code, platinum trophies are quaint little baubles.

 

[BiggStankDogg]

There's no way in hell that he got that many platinums with so little bronzes, silvers or golds.

 

[deriks]

I don't really care for platinum trophies

I only did Doom 2016 because I wanted to dig fully into and that's it. Wanted to do Eternal, but I sold my PS4 thinking about the PS5, and now that is on GamePass, I'll wait for my XsX arrive to do everything

 

[Barnabot]

i have none. and i'm here among you guys.

 

[Aion002]

66 Plats.

On the PS3 I used to plat a game per month..... But then life knocked on my door....

Today, if I get a plat per year I call it a win. And I already won this year since I got 3 plats so far! Days Gone, RE3R and RE2R.

 

[ZywyPL]

I think as the PS4 architect he implemented a backdoor into the system that let's him hack PSN and edit his profile to his liking.

 

[lock2k]

i have none. and i'm here among you guys.

Same, never cared about it. Artificial lenghtening of games. I prefer to play for fun, when fun stops I stop.

 

[BlvckFox]

He only owns the account. There is a small compartment under his desk where a tiny child filled with tubes sustained on a liquid protein diet constantly hunts trophies. I did hear Mark platted Knack though.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

True blood.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Mark Cerny's brain is 12 teraflops.

My brain is only 10.3 teraflops...and I get tired easily.

 

[Great Hair]

You are making the gods angry! Stop it!

Spoiler: has no plats

 

[Carna]

Eh?

I have the platinum trophy for Final Fantasy 14, that's probably nothing much. But getting the platinum trophy for a mmo, most likely requires alot of dedication.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Never chased a platinum myself, but that's great to know. Although he's not a Sony employee, only a contractor.

TL;DR: No plats.

 

[TexMex]

170 plats here so Mark can SUCK IT!!!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

He isn't.....i have 43

 

[EverydayBeast]

Zero platinums is unacceptable at least hack a game for its trophies lol

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yeah I understand the thought behind it. The percentages are a good source of information. How many people beat this game? How many people actually beat this super hard bonus stage?

Sometimes I look at it, and I notice that like half of the Souls players beat the game. I think thats quite a lot. It says something about this audience. But they could fetch this without the need of trophies, the ugly ass lists for every fucking demo and game you started up, the slow synching, the annoying pop ups (though I think those could be turned off system side?). But I don't care if they're gone tomorrow.

Kamiya would say: He is a Contractor. Not an Employee.
