Do You Go For All the Trophies/Achievements in Games?

[DMKA]

Honestly, I try to...I really do, but I've yet to achieve 100% in my trophy/achievement list on any game ever. It seems like some task are so painstakingly difficult to me and I've already finished the game by that point that I just lose interest and move on to a new game. I'm pretty determined to get 100% on InFamous though, and it's the closest I've came so far.

So have you ever gotten every trophy/achievement? In what game(s)? Do you find it pointless to do so? Do you find it fun to try?

Discuss.

Sometimes. I go for trophies I think I'll actually enjoy getting, and if all of them are like that, then sure. I don't obsess over it, though. Like I certainly wasn't going to collect all of those blast shards in InFamous.

I've gotten the platinum trophies in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Prince of Persia '08, Bayonetta, The Saboteur, and Assassin's Creed II. According to my trophy list, I've also gotten 100% in Blue Toad Murder Files, Gunstar Heroes, Critter Crunch (back before the easy patch :P), PixelJunk Shooter, Linger in Shadows, Echochrome, and Noby Noby Boy.

Apparently I also have 0% of the trophies in six games. :P I wish I could remove those.

It really depends on what the achievements entail. I believe I only have the Platinum on God of War 2 and 3 (which can be earned only going through each game once) and Assassin's Creed 2, which I got after getting the DLC at which point I finally collected all those feathers.

Essentially, if I find an achievement ridiculous or too time consuming and I could play a different game, I move on. Demon's Souls is a prime example, where you have to beat the game 4 times to get a couple of the trophies, and it's already a painstaking game the first go through. Love the game, completely not worth trying to get the Platinum.

Oddly enough on the other hand, when I played some 360 games on my roommates 360, I had 5500 points and only played 6 games (no DLC). I got as close to maxing all those games, except for say, Modern Warfare and the stupid Plane mission at the end, or Lost Odyssey and opening every chest.... 980/1000 for both.

no I dont.

I'm a completionist whore and I really like the idea of going for every achievement in games. Sometimes they are well crafted and make you try different things and experience new styles of gameplay. Of course, sometimes they are decidedly terrible.

Realistically, I just don't really have the time, but when I'm not working on my extensive backlog of games, I'll sometimes work on trophies.

I have two games at 100%... Flower (most people won't count that one) and GoW I from the collection. I have a few others at 80-90%. I think Demon's Souls was one of those. I could realistically see myself getting all of the GTA IV trophies if there weren't any for multiplayer just because the game is fun to play.

I was really seriously gonna do Dead Space... but **** the ADS cannon... I have a save sitting right there and had just given up after hours of trying.

If I'm going to try and do them, I'll usually look at the entire list and see if it's doable by my standards, and if it is then I charge ahead.
Unfortunately the only one I've reached 100% in is Blazblue: Calamity Trigger with about 3 or 4 other games that are in the 80-90% range.
It's always that ONE trophy that keeps me from finishing >[
Like Bayonetta, I have it at 94% or something, and the one I'm missing is finding all the witches resting places. So in order for me to find them all, I'd have to go and do all the ones I've already done all over again just to make sure they're done.
Too much to fuss with.

Yes, I do. I love the extra challenge. I'm not going to get the most ridiculous trophies of course. For instance, in Megaman 10 there's a silver trophy where you have to beat the entire game without being hit a single time. It would take an asian to come up with a silly trophy like that.

The only Platinum trophy I have is for the Saw game, which is a fairly annoying game. It's probably one of the easiest platinums out there, though. I got around 80% by just playing through the game normally, so I decided I'd try for the last 20%, which proved to be very easy as well.

The Lego games are very completionistic games, so trophies are especially great there. I'm currently working on Lego Harry Potter, but a recent patch for fixing a glitch seems to have smurfed up my savegame.

[Dreddz]

Trophies are rarely fun to get so I never bother. Nearly all of my games lie in the 40% range which is just from playing the game normally. I do have 1 platinum which is for Wipeout HD which I decided to get just out of boredom. It is kind of cool having it though as many regard it as one of the hardest platinum's to get.

[G13]

I love getting Achievements. It adds to the replay value of the game for me. Some Achievements are incredibly retarded though and I will never attempt getting those but some of them are incredibly fun to get, like the If They Came To Hear Me Beg Achievement from Reach. It took a while to get but it made me squeal when I finally got it.

[Mirage]

Rarely. If I have gotten almost every throphy in a game just from playing it normally, i might go out of my way to get the last ones just for the same of completion. If not, nah.

[DMKA]

Like I certainly wasn't going to collect all of those blast shards in InFamous.

I got all but one and when I realized aside of the little HUD there's no freaking way to tell where it could possibly be in the whole freaking city, I gave up.

It would take an asian to come up with a silly trophy like that.

I've never been one to try to get all the achievements in a game. The closest I've come by just playing through the game was Arkham Asylum which sits at 71%. Lately though I've been considering trying for 100% completion on a few of my games, whether I bother now is another matter :P

[Bunny]

When I play through a game, I am typically more interested in the storyline, characters, and gameplay than increasing an arbitrary score. If I play through the game more than once, I will usually go out of my way to get achievements or trophies.

[Psychotic]

the If They Came To Hear Me Beg Achievement from Reach. It took a while to get but it made me squeal when I finally got it.

From my FileShare:

"Sprunch - I Came While Hearing Him Beg"



For those who don't know and can't tell from my awesome screenshot, you get it by hurling yourself off a cliff, then using a lovely alien fella's skull to cushion your fall. It is not easy!

Anywho, yeah, I'll do them if they look fun or interesting. like "Kill 10,000 in multiplayer using your big toe!" or "Find all 500 of the pointless hidden collection items" can smurf right off though.

The only 'full' achievement I think I have is for the 360 Launch game for the King Kong movie. If I had more points in every game I had my gamerscore would probably quadruple.
