What's the point in having trophies if they don't take work to get?

Completing chapters in the story as you progress are stupid trophies. They should be things that you generally wouldn't do.

Your getting rewarded for beating the game. So bronze trophies are fine for completing story objectives. One gold trophy for finishing the game also seems to be fair. How many people play a game and never finish it?

Platinum trophies are the ones that should require a above and beyond effort to achieve.

Hehe ... not gonna lie. I have the TWD Season 1, TWAU, TFTBL, and GOT plats.

Trophies is technically a reward, if anything? There is tonn of dumb trophies out there for things that were scripted and was bound to happen million times through-out the game, i feel like i am collection tons of bronze that i did not deserve, ergo, it's completely BS. People shouldn't be rewarded for doing nothing, the trophies will start to feel useless and pointless, we need to feel we worked for what we get, the feeling of Victory is much sweeter

And what about locking a platinum trophy behind one online multiplayer trophy where your teammates have to win without getting killed like in Destiny. It's not the players fault your teammates suck.

Yeah, my other two platinums are Disney Infinity 3.0 and Lego Dimensions.

So the Mad Max platinum I just got is my first big boy platinum.

The Disney Infinity one does have trophies locked behind online multiplayer with the Flynn's Arcade stuff which are a pain to get.

That is some complete BS as well, and i think Achiviement's should be individual, something personal in games, even in MP.... 
Soon we get like 40 different achiviemen't for each type of death's that happened to you....

The Rachet & Clank POOL SHARK trophy comes to mind.

Yeah, getting a trophy for getting eaten by a big fish is questionable at best. That's a joke trophy, meaning it's supposed to be funny.

Dragon Age Origins was a complete bitch to platinum but not because the trophys were hard but because of how shit the game ran on PS3 L

I couldn't be bothered to get the Mad Max Platinum. There was those challenges, and then all the Archangel stuff, and then going to every Scavenging location. Would have taken too long for my liking. I got pretty much everything else, though.

Why are you wasting your time getting trophies?

Why did Edmond Hillary climb Mount Everest?

Why did Admiral Perry sail to the North Pole?

Why did SonytendoAmiibo get the Mad Max platinum trophy?

Because it was there.

In Killzone 2 I remember some ridiculous multiplayer ones. I try to keep my platinum attempts to manageable times. Also no MP trophies unless it's a little taste like Uncharted 4
