Why isn't "Rockhound" a Gold Trophy? [inFamous]

^- Yeah, 385 Blast Shards is easy to do.

Next.

So there is a Achievement in the Orange Box that has you finding every grub in the game and squishing it. There are a couple hundred and if you miss one you can not go back, and it is only 5 points. I am happy that it is only five points. so instead of 950 points i have 995. Much better

Achievements work differently from trophies.

With achievements, the gamerscore has to add up to 1000. There's no such limit for trophies- completing Uncharted will get you more trophy points than completing Buzz: Quiz TV (presumably, it has many more trophies). With trophies, you get a reward in the form of a Platinum (equal to 2 golds, 6 silvers or 12 bronzes), for getting every trophy. A gold is worth 6 bronzes. Thus, if Rockhound was a gold, you would have the same amount of trophy points for not getting it as if it were a bronze, but if you did get it, you would get six times the trophy score for that one trophy.

OT: If it was gold, I still probably wouldn't get it, but yeah, I think it qualifies. Silver at LEAST.
