Forums - Sony - So why do you get Trophies for?

I put my trophy accomplishments on application forms.... [sarcasm]

I don't "get" them for anything. I couldn't care less about them, and I'm not the one to brag about my game accomplishments. I'd rather just play, have fun... The only time I ever even go out of my way to unlock them is when there's extra content involved... But, so far, the only game to do that I've played is Soul Calibur IV...

There are other things to do that's better than collect trophies, and what-not. In Tekken 6, I have about 80% Trophies, but, I'm missing simple ones, like win a ranked match. I was just getting my monies worth for Tekken, and having fun with it, I wasn't trying to unlock anything.

I've never came across a trophy whore online either, thank goodness. Just play the game, and have fun. Trophies have no baring on replay value to me, because the trophies themselves have no value to me to begin with.

The only reason I did it on Jumping Flash! 2 (PSX/1996) was because I wanted to unlock the secret HYPER mode.

when i said "Self Satisfaction" i mean to have fun.

you probably missunderstood me.

It was a joy getting KZ2 tropies. It was my 1st game to platinum. The thing that was disappointing about KZ2 is that nothing was unlocked like weapons or characters within the game so getting the trophies was good for a game with no unlockables.



I like shiny objects. And since Trophies are shiny, I like them. Also it gives me a reason to replay some of my fav games multiple times, so I dont feel like Im wasting my time.



Personal Satisfaction. Just feels nice getting them.

If a game has trophies i like, with stuff i'd do anyway(collect everything,get x, etc
) and interesting stuff i would not have done or that aren't time comsuming to get then i'll go for them. I like trophies, but i wouldn't do anything too absurd to get them.



 

I get trophies for my own satisfaction. If I really like a game, I'll try to get the platinum, but if I get stuck on an annoying trophy, then I won't bother with it. And so far, I have three platinums, Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2 and Mirror's Edge.

Also, I like that developers can see what trophies I get, so hopefully they can see what I like and what I don't



Trophies like Achievements are just a meta game, where by it's allot of fun competing with friends...so really it's like playing 2 games at once.

If your not into the meta game, then simply ignore the trophy or achievement system.

I my self like trophies because it tells people what games I'm playing, how far I'm getting on those, and how many games actually beaten, plus I like the competing with my friends...it's just like the old school days were if you got a high score in an arcade game you'd put your initials down, trophies/achievements are the same except expanded thanks to online.
