Trophy Whores Only!

So apparently, my niece played Barbie Horse Adventures and Hannah Montana for Platinums in my profile (I swear you fucks, it really wasn't me). I only did Terminator Salvation if we're going to judge me.

I have decided to become proud of these absolute wonderful achievements as legacy AND my degenerate behavior to display them to the world. But I hid them on both Vita and PS3 like 6 or 7 years ago. I can't register them on trophy sites. I tried the PS4 and PS5 and there isn't any option to undo hidden trophies for these games on the platforms I hid them on and I don't have the consoles anymore. Any solutions boys or girls?

I am not subbing to PS+ and its gay ass Streaming service for this to work.

Not aware of a way to unhide PS3 or Vita games on PS5 other than through the PS3 menu while streaming. Time to ask the obvious questions. Do other PS3 or Vita games show up on PS4? Did you go to the menu that specifically says Hidden Games for PS3 and Vita option in the hidden games menu under privacy settings?

Alright, I'll admit it. When I was a kid, after many trips to the video store renting games like Megman, Turtles and Darkwing Duck, I decided to rent Barbie. Not because I had any interest in Barbie, but more for science to try and understand what the difference was between a boys game and a girls game, like what the heck did they even do in it?? What do girls play, and are they dumb for liking it? Is it a normal action game, but with a Barbie skin shooting hearts? Or some other alien female language of game I can't even comprehend? Will it be a gateway drug for my sister to become Luigi, or a bad influence to seal away lest the NES get hogged all day raising ponies?

I'm pretty sure no human being of any gender ever liked it, it was just an unplayable shitty action game that looked terrible.

I started platinum hunting after "accidentaly" getting one for completing Telltales mediocre Game of Thrones game. It was such an eyesore that I decided to platinum Dark Souls in an effort to cleanse my spirit. This lead to me realizing just how much I missed in the game which led me to platinuming the rest of the DS games, Bloodborne etc.

Sometimes that OCD is a bit of a pain in the ass, but I'm limiting it to good games that feel worthwhile/rewarding or simply pretty easy (Horizon games, Spiderman for example).

You can live the rest of your days watching other trophy whores, with their smaller unlocked trophy list, basking in the respect and admiration of their peers knowing how far superior you are to them.

Bet you don't even have a niece. :lollipop_content:

Sir, I am absolutely sure I have one. These baseless allegations are just too much. She will come for you all. Baseball bat included.

Aaaawww I'm just a regular whore .. 😢

Accepted in my Harem. Next.

It doesn't show up on either PS4 or 5 unfortunately. So I am guessing Sony really fucked up and its not a universal system. I think I'll just need to rebuy the consoles or steal one from random Gaf members.

I got solution for ur "niece" to get more platinium trophies

Well, thank you. Looks like more playtime for myse... I mean my niece 😇

admit it, you loved Barbie Horse Adventures and Hannah Montana, didn't you ?

Everyone knows Lizzy McGuire was the it thing. Dillary Fudd still got it.

So the streaming service is gay...but, who's the one with a plat for barbie? Pot, kettle, black.

DID YOU WATCH THE BARBIE MOVIE OR NOT?

You had my respect. Now you have my admiration Toots! 😍

Back on the PS2 days, I only had a shitty Britney Spears dancing game to test fixed consoles. The "Hit me baby one more time" song will be forever in my head. I hope that your "niece" experience with Barbie were just as good.

This motherfucker went ahead and blamed some little damn kids for him wanting to run around as a furry and get platinums playing lady games.

Send me your address, I have a vacuum to get the sand out of your vagina and reattach that manhood with super glue.

Be honest my friend, it has happened to all of us that we wanted to play and collect trophies. I have Gollum trophies and I am not ashamed.

What's more, I was going to buy those games for the simple trophies and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I really like the aesthetics of many trophies.

There is no judgement. You have to be a weirdo to go after meaningless digital trophies, I’m speaking as one.

No one cares, psnprofiles is good fun to just keep track of stuff, I like statistics a lot so it’s another fun meta game of “gaming”.

I don’t think you can delete games once you go above 0% completion

Don't worry those type of platinums are no longer frowned upon after the advent of shovel ware. Those 10 minute tap X plats.

However the particular games you claim you didn't platinum could end you up on a certain government list. Continue recording, continue recording, Over.

Got my 250th Plat last week. (Persona 3 ReLoad)

Having a kid drastically slowed down my Trophy farming (I really don't mind, love the little guy) but I'll still keep going.

Wish I could delete some of my trophies tho... Not proud of getting all the Auto Plat from transfering PS4 Saves to PS5. I have 19 underseved auto Plat games... I enjoyed watching the numbers go up at the time but now it feels a bit off.

I love platinum hunting, but I don't have any BS trophies like those.

You don't even have to play stuff like Hannah Montana now. There are hundreds of "Press X for platinum" games now, like the Jumping Food games.

If you have any of those, it pretty much negates all your legit trophies.

Can someone confirm for me if in PS PLUS Stream, the game The guided fate paradox has trophies?

There is one that only appears when you start the game.

It does. I don’t believe streaming or playing locally has any effect on trophies.

Oh sorry this is for the PS3 version. My bad

Nothing negates nothing because all trophies and achievements are meaningless. Just play games.

What's your goal when you play? Do you try to beat the stages, bosses, game? Or do you just run around and jump?

I'm guessing the former, as playing games and completing objectives is the entire point, while obviously meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

I pressed the button X for X amount of times in a clicker game.

The former "Trophy leader" was using other people to grind trophies for him.

Do you see the pointless ambiguity in this nonsense? It goes in endless circles for no reason. If someone likes the trophies, good for them. But let's stop acting like all of this "legit" chatter has any type of objectivity to it.

If we're going to argue semantics then anything subjectively versus your value system is a huge waste of time. I think not getting trophies is me finishing something forever and not looking back. I'd like if people didn't vilify us whores in an irrational diatribe of what is important to them in a vidya. Have a little beer and play Sex with Hitler, it provides value, an educational history lesson and provides a higher form of libido for fascist dictators.

What about rodent whores?

I've been gaming 40 years now and had every console pretty much on release day, and I've never actively unlocked any achiement or trophy. I turn all the notifications off and just play🤷‍♂️
Is that weird?
 
I'm a reformed trophy / achievement whore, though I didn't do anything like that Naruto game or whatever on the 360 that you can get 1000/1000 points by standing in a corner and spamming attacks for a few minutes.

I was deep into them from Xbox 360 / PS3 until about mid cycle PS4. I then realised that I was torturing myself by playing games in a way I normally wouldn't.
Whether it was slogging through a bad or even terrible game to just finish it and move on or, this for me was the eye opening point, grinding in a game you really liked, but trophy hunting made you really dislike the game. That's when I weened myself off them and eventually no longer cared about them.

Demon's souls on PS3 (my first import) took me about 36 real-life hours of grinding over a few days to get a drop (pure bladestone) for my last trophy. The run was about 30 seconds, including the fight, so you could imagine how that felt. I had to take a break of like a year from it and I loved the game.
