As someone who has Platinumed Assassins Creed Valhalla, yes I do know. This is cake compared to Lego Star Wars.
Yeah it's dated. I did the same thing and just couldn't push through it. I'm just curious to see if they follow through on the final scenes of the AWE DLC as a setup to AW2.
For anyone who doesn't know, PSNProfiles is a site where you can track your... PSN profile. It shows you all your games and trophies and what you've earned, and various statistics relating to your profile. In addition to the trophy rarities you see in-console on PS4 and PS5, there's a site rarity based on the people whose profiles are on the site and whether or not they've completed various trophies.
I agree and my post was pretty superficial. It was more aimed at people who seem to slog through things to get a digital achievement. I prefer spending my free time doing things I enjoy, not spending hours doing tedious bullshit so a game gives me a virtual pat on the back. To each their own, though.
I tapped out of 100%ing games with the Riddler trophies in the Arkham games. I don't get how people find that satisfying. To each their own i suppose
Yeah, and particularly when it’s not even difficult, just time consuming. Like if you can easily 100% a game, you just need to spend 100 hours following online walkthroughs, then that’s not impressive nor satisfying IMO. If it’s based on skill and it’s difficult, then I can see why it might be satisfying as you actually accomplished something most people couldn’t.
I used to push myself to plat games for whatever reason, but now I only plat the ones that I truly enjoy and don't want to end like Elden Ring or Ghost of Tsushima for example. Using trophies to extend the gameplay is the best way to go about it imo.
You say that you can't understand why "I value gameplay over story," but, a few sentences later, say that you can understand "liking gameplay more than story." The statements are essentially the same, so you do understand what I'm saying. You're just being argumentative for who knows what reason. Now that that's settled, we can drop it.
Huh? That's not what I said. I don't understand it specifically when "in games" needs to be added as a qualifier. I understand it without that, but you said that that wasn't your position. If it actually is, then disconnect resolved.You say that you can't understand why "I value gameplay over story," but, a few sentences later, say that you can understand "liking gameplay more than story."

"In games" wasn't necessary or a qualifier. It was just redundant, since it should be obvious that we mean in games when talking about gameplay. It shouldn't have been confusing. You overanalyzed it and, honestly, have been doing it since the beginning of this conversation and arguing with your own ideas of what I mean. It's apparently kept you from realizing that you do understand my perspective, after all. I know that you're being sincere and not trying to be difficult, though. I'm very guilty of being argumentative, myself.
Okay, so the way that I understand it now based on what you're saying (if "in games" isn't a necessary qualifier) is that you value gameplay (in any medium) more than you value story (in any medium), PERIOD, and thus in a medium (the ONLY medium) where both are possible and they're pitted against each other, gameplay always wins and should be heavily prioritized. In other words, I assume that means that you enjoy videogames more than other mediums in general, because they're capable of the thing that you value more.
I don't necessarily value gameplay above story in general. In movies, a strong story is important to me while the lack of gameplay isn't. In games, it's the other way around. I tend to enjoy movies when they tell a good story and games when I get to make the story. I wouldn't say that I have a preference, since I probably spend as much time watching movies as gaming, but I do prefer to get the experience that I enjoy out of each. That's the same basic sentiment that "If I wanted a great story, I'd read a book" expresses, so you might be able to understand it even if you don't approve of the way that it's put.
........ but then the "in games" qualifier is necessary, then! What was that last exchange all about?
I don't think that it's necessary to specify that we're talking about games when discussing gameplay in a thread titled "Games you are currently playing." A little common sense should do.
It's pretty important when the specific thing we were talking about was the phrase "If I wanted story, I'd read a book", and when that qualifier is the entire crux of what I took exception to regarding it, though. Why would you go out of your way to take it out and misframe what I said as contradicting itself? I included it specifically to differentiate between the two (story in games vs. story in books). It's equally relevant to the conversation to talk about preferring gameplay over story (in games) as preferring gameplay over story overall (including in books).
Also, those stats are incorrect. Only 2.0% of all players have the platinum in the game.
That alone killed my desire to play the games.
