@Th3solution
Not really, I’ve made peace with my Shawn White snowboarding progress only having one trophy (back in 2008).
However I would like to see my overall completion a bit higher (currently at 62.5%) but I’ve so many games on my profile that to move the needle takes a lot of effort. I have read that some people have created new PSN IDs just to get that magical 100% and how those people get very angry when dlc comes out which ruins that.
@Th3solution yeah it does bother me tbh. I’m currently sitting at around 79% and trying to get over 80% is turning out to be incredibly difficult. The main reason for this is dlc taking a lot of games original lists down below 75%-ish… but I do also have a remnant of games that I’d played prior to my trophy hunting days. I’ve been knocking the platinums on them out periodically but there are a few that are now no longer achievable due to server closures/content removal and such.
Absolutely it does! Like you I don't like to see anything on my list below 10% - to be honest I will probably play a game I don't like at all to get it to over 20 or 30%.
I have come to accept that attempting to plat every game I play just isn't fun and burns me out so am prepared to leave some games when I feel I've done all I wanted with them.
However if I can get that shiny without going out of my way too much, or if im enjoying the time and the challenge then I'll definitely still go for it.
@Th3solution I've just had a look through my trophy list out of curiosity and it turns out there's quite a few games in my single-digit club. Look at this for a list:
Kena Bridge of Spirits
Dredge
Ender Lillies
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Blasphemous
Tetris Effect
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Days Gone
The Last of Us
Modnation Racers
Dead Island
The Sims 3
Bayonetta
Singstar
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Some genuinely good games there, that I've completely bounced off and moved on to something else (apart from The Last of Us, I definitely completed that so it must have a rough trophy list).
I've made my peace with it. Although I would like another crack at Tomb Raider one day.
@Gremio108
Some top games there and some are even enjoyable plats.
I have a number of Last of Us 1s on my profile, the PS3 version with a shocking two bronze and yes I completed that, then the Remastered version which is the same trophy list but I managed 100% (inc dlc) and except* for the MP was a fun awesome platinum. Finally I have the Part 1 platinum with which ND totally sucked the life/fun out of...imo but I’m sure many agree with me on that one.
*I enjoyed the MP but just didn’t like the MP trophies.
@Gremio108 Your single digit club is a little more than mine, but I feel your pain.
I can endorse Rise of the TR, and also Kena Bridge of Spirits, both really good games, but also with reasonable trophy lists. TR has a much bigger list with the DLCs so even after earning 65 trophies I’m at 49% completion. But Kena actually has a fun and achievable list up until the trophy for beating the game on Master difficulty. That’s the only trophy I lack for the platinum and the game is too hard on Master so I will have to stay at 90% completion forever. And actually I think I read there’s a workaround where you can crank up the difficulty to Master right before the end boss and if you can beat it then it will count as a Master difficulty clearance. I haven’t confirmed that though
@CaptD@graymamba Where do you find the offfical total percentage complete? I was just eyeballing my list and guesstimating from list on the app. Does the console give you the overall completion number?
@sorteddan 😄 Yes, I have been known to stick with a game for a few more hours than I want just so I can pad my trophy number up a little. I’m better about keeping the percentage above 10 over the last two generations and most of my single digit games are from PS3 and Vita.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@graymamba I should make an account. I’m just annoyed at the number of accounts, passwords, 2FA keys, and ID numbers that I have to keep. Trying to minimize accounts but PSN profiles seems to be a worthwhile one. I’m not sure why Sony doesn’t do their own native version of that in the console OS. I’ve always liked how Apple does it with iPhones where they see innovative and helpful ideas for their device and system made through third party app software and then just bake in their own version of it into their next updates. It’s nice to have the features in the system already without having to download a separate app.

@Th3solution You don’t even need to mate, just enter your PlayStation username, click on update profile and then access your profile. You can upgrade to premium at a small fee for some further facilities but you’ll be able can access the vast majority of it from what I’ve detailed above.
@graymamba@Th3solution
Just to add a little more info. As GM said just tap in your PSN ID in on the main page and as long as your PSN privacy info isn’t too restrictive then it should update and give a URL to your stats.
Save the URL and use whenever, your stats should automatically update every 24 hours and by upgrading to Premium I think this goes to 2hours although I’m not on Premium so could be wrong.

@CaptD Yeah great game The Last of Us and I did consider replaying it, but I found it so stressful I couldn't bring myself to play it again, never mind platinum it! Still only played it once to this day.
@Th3solution Yeah Kena is a game I started recently and didn't really give it a fair shot. I was going through one of those phases where you bounce around different games and can't settle. Might give it another go if it pops up on Extra again. Sniper Elite 4 had a similar difficulty trophy workaround and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. That trophy would have been hanging over my conscience forever! So I completed the game again on Authentic difficulty for the platinum, like a masochist.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
So due to recent discussion on this thread I was thinking about the games that remain in my trophy list with embarrassingly low percentages. Now some of them are definitely not my fault (or do I will claim) but result from the days when my niece and nephew would come and stay over and I'd let them play any old crap to keep them entertained for an hour or two. I seem to recall one of them spending as much time setting up that gimmicky eye-toy accessory as actually playing the thing it was bundled with. Or my nephew playing some terrible Minecraft looking thing (Portal Knights maybe?) for a while half hour before abandoning it.
Wish I'd had the foresight to make them separate accounts but hey ho, such is life.
Other games were down to my curiosity and randomly downloading stuff of ps plus before quickly realising I would never willingly spend any time on. Mighty Number Nine springs to mind, it looked a bit like Mega-Man but was just bad and no fun at all to me.
Anyhow got me thinking, not for the first time, that I should be able to delete things off if my trophy list even if I have obtained a trophy or two. Not that it matters in the great scheme of things, it's not like anybody has ever looked at my trophy list but me!, but it would be good for my peace of mind to permanently hide my shame. Hell I think I would even pay to do so, like if I could pay £1 to delete 10 games from the list I would do so. Sony have missed a trick there maybe.
But because I was pondering the shameful sub ten percenters it also got me to thinking about the other end of the scale. Those games that I've had to abandon one of two trophies short of completion/platinum, mostly for the sake of my sanity. Titanfall 2 and its terrible 2 second assault course challenge where I had to admit I was probably never going to get gud enough for. Seriously spending a few hours attempting something that should take seconds drove me to distracton. Similarly the gauntlet thing on Sackboy I had to give up on before I felt the need to put my controller through a wall. That one should have at least had a checkpoint at halfway. Just thinking about it makes me want to swear. More recently I gave up on RE Village one trophy away from the plat as I just count motivate myself to play the arcade like Mercenary mode. That one I think I could actually have achieved though, I just didn't want to spend 10+ hours doing something I don't enjoy.
So peoples, what's worse... A game on your list with only 1 or 2 trophies obtained or a game with only 1 of 2 missing?? And are there any games you've had to walk away from so close to completion and why?
@sorteddan Yeah, I do wish I could delete or at least hide games from the trophy list. There’s a hide function to hide games from other people, but there’s no way to filter out games from your own view, that I know of. I think that I heard somewhere that giving people the ability to delete games from their trophy list creates some kind of background security headache for Sony. I forget the details but the integrity of the system is really locked down with the trophies and they don’t want to budge. Of course that was the way the PSN names were and they figured out a way to let us change those without breaking our accounts.
To your query about which being worse, having games with only 1-2 trophies achieved or games missing 1-2 trophies, I think the former bugs me more. To me those games with just 1-3% completion stick out like a sore thumb as a games I shamefully and regretfully only spent a few minutes with and am stuck having to stare at the empty memories of the pointless experience.
That said, I do have a handful of games which I’m missing just a few trophies for the platinum and 100% completion. The most notable in recent memory is A Plague Tale Requiem. I platinum’d the first game but the second requires at least a partial second playthrough to fully upgrade all the skills. I just didn’t want to invest in that at this time. Maybe later
Persona 4 Golden I’m missing a few, but once I realized the Hardcore Risette Fan trophy was so difficult with RNG and meticulous planning, I didn’t go out of my way to get some of the other difficult but achievable trophies.
Oxenfree was a game I had a plan to replay for the platinum. It’s not very long, but I can’t bring myself to do it now.
Limbo is a game I am merely missing the trophy for speedrunning the game all in one sitting. I hate those with a passion.
The aforementioned Kena has me lacking just the completion on Master difficulty. I hate those too.
And a final one that comes to mind is Stray, which also has a speedrun trophy which I’m noped out of.
All that said, I don’t mind seeing those games with 80-90% completion as much as I see Battleborn at 1% (a blight upon gaming, that game was), or Wipeout HD at 1% (I suck so bad at that game for some reason that I just could never get into it.)
@Th3solution
Yeah I'm not a fan of a speedrun challanges either. I think whenever I have done so it's been with a tablet showing a video and I watch for 2 mins then unpause the game and attempt to replicate what I just watched... I don't usually have the mental capacity to remember every correct direction to take it the precise order to pick up whatever all the while watching the seconds tick away.
I remember being just grateful to get through Limbo, trying to do it against the clock with no mistakes wasn't going to happen!
... And I also suck at Wipeout games btw, I'm not sure how anyone manages to not just bounce off every wall at every corner like I do.
@Th3solution
RE Kena master difficulty. There is a glitch with that trophy, I’m not ashamed to say that I used it and I’m sure many many (many many) others did too. You basically just have to do the first small section in master and then skip to the end, it is a little tricky to pull off but not too difficult.
@sorteddan
I love the Wipeout games ever since the first one but I’ve always been fairly rubbish at them, that is until VR. VR is so suited to that game and elates it from an uncontrollable ping pong game to a smooth zen like experience.
I’m just a three trophies away from the Omega platinum, sitting at 80%
I will never forgive Sony for not porting it to PSVR2.
My two other wipeout games on my profile have an E (two bronze) and C rank (7 bronze), both of the games (I think) make up the Omega collection.
@sorteddan I probably come down the side of the remaining few percentage bothering me. Wolfenstein The New Order being one such game; I have one trophy left and I'm aware of a workaround but have yet to feel comfortable about it. Conversely I have a small list of games that have one or two trophies popped that I will definitely return to one day.
Speedrun trophies can get to f*#k though 😂 I have a few of those knocking about.
@CaptD
Works for me. From now on I can tell people that the reason I was rubbish at Wipeout was because I never had a VR set. Better for my mental state than admitting that my eyesight and reflexes are just not suited to games at that velocity.
(And just checked - my Omega collection is 13/35 20%)
@RogueCooper
Yeah me too.
I don't like the sub 10% or whatever but they're down in the list at the parts I rarely venture to. The 98%ers I don't have to look for, they are imprinted into my gamer soul like a brand that says I lack the will of a true champion.
