In terms of the former, that’s an argument that kind of works for Trophies in general, I guess, and I’ll admit that some Trophies have alerted me to different areas, or tactics, or Gameplay options within a particular title. Now, Developers would probably argue here that co-op/online Trophies are either a nudge towards discovering and/or enjoying a particular aspect of their game, or that they’re a legitimate measure of whether you’ve excelled at all aspects of that game. The whole anti-social fuckmuppet thing actually works in my favour here because I tend not to get invited places and whatnot – so my schedule’s relatively clear – but even so, I’m reliably informed that normal people do have a social life, so it’s still often an issue anyways. As somebody who’s GMT-4 for nearly half the year, a big chunk of my (admittedly quite sparse) friends list are often tucked away in bed if I turn the PlayStation on in the evening, and even at weekends 4 hours makes it surprisingly difficult to line shit up properly. Obviously, none of your friends having the Game is pretty much Game Over, but even the relatively simple Gaming at the same time thing can rapidly become a ballache. Already, that’s a lot of ducks to line up, and if even just oneof those things is out, things become problematic. Then, even if you’re not an anti-social fuckmuppet, you need actual friends who also Game who also Game on the same platform as you who also own the same Game and who also play at the same times as you do. To start with, you really need actual friends to play Co-op (I’ll come to the problems with randoms in a bit), and for those of us who weren’t blessed with, say, a likable personality, anything in the way of social skills or who’re just not generally great at interacting with other humans, that’s already something of a hurdle. What’ll get me massively frustrated though – and have me swearing like a motherfucking sailor – is when they’re fucking Co-op ones, and for a whole shitload of reasons I’ma bore you with presently.
#AC UNITY TROPHIES CRACK#
Online trophies are often the fucking worst anyways (not least because they’re effectively hidden behind an additional paywall), but when they’re only of the play this type of match/reach level x/win y games variety, I still might take a crack anyways. Because you’ve read my title, you’ll probably already have figured out that most of these are Co-op trophies. Mostly that’s because I’m shite – which is fair enough – but it’s also because, regardless of how good I might be, there are often Trophies that are still somewhere between ‘a proper pain in the ass’ and ‘damn near impossible’ for me to get.
Since then, the number of Platinum Trophies I have gotten has gone up a bit, but not loads.
#AC UNITY TROPHIES PS4#
When I got my PS4 though, a combination of the slow, early trickle of games, having PS Plus, and having a bit more time on my hands meant that I actually tried for one Platinum (Shadow of Mordor, if you’re interested) and I found that whole Platinum Trophy Popping thing all rather moreish, actually. I’d play the main campaign, hoover up collectibles because of my Gaming OCD, but there wasn’t a single game that I’d gotten every achievement for. My Xbox 360 backlog was also huge given the console’s lifespan – and the number of buy 47 for £20 offers that were a result of that lifespan – so I tended to not bother 100 percenting games purely because I had plenty more to keep me amused instead. Back in my Xbox 360 days, I didn’t consistently have an Xbox Live sub, I had exactly zero other people on my friends list, so my Gamerscore was just a number that nobody would ever see, ever.
#AC UNITY TROPHIES PC#
My blog, innit!?Īnyhoo….Trophies (or Gamerscore, or whatever the PC equivalent is) are a relatively new thing in Gaming, and as I said in that other piece, it’s something I personally didn’t give a shit about until even more recently. My blog, innit!? Secondly, and related to the “unimportant” bit I guess, I’ve already gone on record as saying I’m sometimes a bit obsessed with Trophies and whatnot, and whilst rationally I know it’s all a load of meaningless bollocks anyway (in both ‘trophy inconsistency’, and “ who even gives a fuck?” kind of ways), it is what it is. And there’s a chance it might seem like that because – again, if I’m being honest – it probably is. OK, before we start, there is a chance that what follows might seem a little bit like sour grapes from a guy who hasn’t got any friends, and who is therefore projecting his ire onto what is – if he’s being honest – a fairly unimportant thing that means very little to anybody.
