(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Im looking for feedback off the ngu community. For me I am getting fed up of buying a game looking at the trophy list to find stupid online trophies that requires a lot of grinding 1000 kills, 100 wins, reach level 50 etc. What games have you guys given up on because of online trophies? It takes the enjoyment out of the game.
Certain games you cannot finish when developers pull the plug on a game's servers, fifa 09, lord of the rings conquest,
Grand theft auto to get the one bronze trophy Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic even boosting will take forever.
How can developers improve online trophies? what makes a good online trophy?

One other thing i want to moan about is you get your 100% platinum trophy, sell the game, look on your trophy list a week later and its got knocked down to 87% and there is dlc out for it! aaaaargh!

Burnout Paradise requires a camera AND online...like wtf?!
Little Big Planet- forgotten about it, damn online trophies
GTA4- quite possibly the HARDEST group of online trophies to get -.-
I cant remember the rest, but have a look at my PSN trophy list if you're friends with me (marklordan)
(The ones that are up to about 80-95% require online -.-)
they make my collection look so shabby!!

at the moment im trying to get a trophy in quantum of solace which is Earn over 100,000 in credits. its took me over 15 hours of online matches and im pretty sure im not even half way to getting it.
its taking the enjoyment out of the game.

Red Faction: Guerilla
Let me notify you that NO ONE plays this game online, and if it's one of those magical days where people are actually playing, they are pro and in a party, making them unbeatable. The trophies require: 250 matchmaking games played (which is kinda hard, since the match making is dreadfull, after a set amount of time it searches for a new game). After that you actually need 250 wins... The other trophies require 5000 kills and alot of XP, those are boostable. The plays and wins require matchmaking. Right now I'm at around 60 something wins and 110 games played or something. Also the collectibles in this game are overkill, 300 ores? Lord have mercy

GTA 4
I'm boosting the Auf Wiedersehen Petrovich with my cousin, but even then it's taking a lot of time. Almost nobody is racing legit in GTA, and since there are like 30 races (not to mention the GTA race mode, which makes 60) it's kinda a pain. Even finding some team games is hard, I still need my cops 'n crooks wins for instance. And like RF:G the 200 pidgeons are insane, still haven't even botherd. Just by playing the game normally I found 3.. 3 out of 200. These bastards must be insanely hidden!

Modnation Racers
The amount of creation XP, wins and stuff is insane. If you can't make yourself a good name soon, you won't get much experience. 100 wins is kinda hard aswell, also top 10% of the hot lap at a day.

Killzone 2
This platinum trophy requires a lot of dedication. I managed to do this, because I "was" (tried it a few weeks ago and now I suck again ) terrible good at it. This game requires you to be in the leaderbords at the top 1% of that week. That's crazy! Imagine there are 50,000 people playing, you would have to be in the top 500.

I can't think of anything more atm, but my point is some trophies are really getting on my nerves

In Crysis 2 there is a trophy for playing six months after you first played online, and changing the system time won't work.

Developers need to realize that trophy/acheivement whores and hardcore multiplayer players are seperate demographics.

i agree with this post is right!

I see the need to have them, but I dislike them.

Most trophies left over in games I haven't platinumed are for online play.

funny story here..... i gave up on wheel of fortune...... LMMFAO seriously.... your supposed to play the stupid game and goto every city to get the last trophy and i just cant bring myself to actually do that.... its so boring i about fall asleep everytime i play it...... its super easy to win to its just BORING

I quit AC Britherhood because of the online trophies, didn't even finish the single player trophies because I knew I wouldn't get platinum. Warhawk "1000+" hours was annoying as well. Took much longer for me, but at least I got 100%.Resistance 2 needs 10k kills, I was like screw that. Burnout dlc requires a lot of online, probably why I don't have the 100% anymore.


But these aren't new games. Warhawk was the first game to get a platinum, yet most time consuming online. Period. I think the amount of time companies think of their trophy set is around 15 minutes .
