@Berion postcard? Lol I guess I see your point, though just as much could be "achieved" with timestamps on screenshots without having to dub them as trophies or achievements.
Most games I can go back and play even when trophies are done, it just feels that some games are made for trophies more than anything especially when there are like 130 or 77 its just overboard at points. I already know your response will be something basic like "then don't go for them" and I would have to agree for most part
Like, it would not feel so dead & pointless if they could reward you with a placard that has your username for reaching 500 or a real trophy for getting to 999 or whatever the cap is now... and I know it may seem like a silly concept but in other words what do people play sports or compete in Olympics for?
They get real physical trophy or medals for their long-endured and valorous efforts when I feel that S0NY could do something even slightly similar for people that have dedicated nearly 15 years into this online crap.
I know that there are comps for specific games that offer trophies for reaching into global ranks of skill but it is pretty sad that PSN will probably never look for a way to honor its gamers further but instead to keep changing, scalping, de-licensing, putting games in digital world only and every other thing to dishonor gamers who really have stuck it out with them since golden age of PS1 and PS2.
PS3 was great up to point of SO MANY game servers going permanently offline even before production cycle was over
PS4 is good to most degree but after cross-play ringing in hackers who inject chams from PC-side and so many never-ending updates it is probably hard for many avid collectors to keep everything up to date, that or whether or not to even trust certain updates.
and on PS5, I feel like I get a System Update every week. Finally some contents that would not download from PS store are finally working and things are getting better I guess... I take all the virtual freebies I can get but still definitely prefer physical over digital.
Have you never felt like you are constricted between 2 personalities? Like yeah, I've platted 6 out of 7 games that I've bought for PS5 so I kinda do feel like I'm in the category of a trophy gamer... But at same time I can play an old game for fun even when I already beat it 10 times over just for that nostalgia.
It's this void that I get tired of trying to fill at times. I've played video games since I was 7 and now I am 27. There are things to show in this world other than what I've done on a video game, it just gets so hard being an adult and a child-at-heart in the same process.
Gaming has really evolved my personality since days of Super Mario World on SNES or Sonic 2 on Dreamcast or Crash Bandicoot on PS1. I feel like I look back more often than I should.
EDIT: OP, I am so sorry for going this deep in your thread.
