in general, I like trophies and achievements. Sometimes it's really satisfactory to see the platinum or 100% next to the game.
Depending on the trophy or achievement, I might sometimes replay a game to "hunt" them (i.e. do the specific task for that trophy or achievement) but I will not bother with outright ridiculous trophies that might require massive grinding or something.
Sometimes games reward you with additional achivements for playing/finishing a game on a higher difficulty in which case I might go for another run in a higher difficulty, but if that turns out to be too frustrating I'll just stop.
I kinda wish the switch had some sort of achievement system. there are a lot of people who like them, and I think they'd probably sell even more systems/games if they did. however, I read Miyamoto doesn't like them, and that that is why they don't exist with Nintendo, which I think is stupid.
Sony does something like that ocassionaly. They have community events in which they ask the participating players to earn a set number of trophies during a time period (9 million trophies in 7 days for example) and if the goal is met, you get a new theme for your PS4 (but not your PS5, you peasant!) and a handful of new avatars - as long as you participated.It would be interesting if you have collected all trophies in order to get something from Sony, for example a game or access to anything else.
If I'm being honest I play games to be a completionist. It's quite common I buy a game on PSN just to complete it. The extreme satisfaction of seeing a platinum trophy appear is just worth it all.How important are your PSN trophies to you? Do you have any platinums?
I pre-ordered Super Monkey Ball on PS4 over the Switch because I knew I would want that sweet, sweet platinum.If I'm being honest I play games to be a completionist.
