Do some devs go overboard with trophy requirements?

OT: how long did it take you? Was it really worth it? I like the concept of achievements/trophies but I only get platinums on games that I really really enjoy my time with. I stop playing games that don't entertain me anymore, and I don't even try to get the trophies if they're not compelling in the first place.

I have no idea how long it took me to get the platinum in Mad Max. As soon as I got the platinum I erased the game off my HDD to make room for Until Dawn. Does the PS4 keep track of play time like the Wii U?

When I am done with a game's story I look at the trophy list to see how close I am to a platinum. If I'm only missing a few l will go for the platinum. This damn trophy right here, the UP TO THE TASK one took me over 10 hours. For one gold trophy. If you look it has a 0.9% completion rate. Just like the platinum trophy has. So this trophy right here is the one everybody gets stuck on.

As far as movie tie in games goes it's one of the better ones. The best thing about the game that makes it better than most open world repetition fests is the open sand box vehicle combat. Just like a Mad Max game should be.

To me the game was very well worth it since I got it used on the cheap. The gameplay most important here is the vehicular combat with fantastic accident physics that lead to crazy movie like wrecks. There are some "wow, did you see that" moments that look like well choreographed movie scenes as you pull the front tire off of the car that is chasing you and it nose dives into the ground at 80 mph, then flips end over end and hits the ground in a fireball explosion.
