Thankfully, the wind guidance makes this task less tedious but it still took quite some time before I collected the last one. So I scoured the entire island in search of 433 collectibles. I finished the main story and all side quests so I figured I would get these trophies after collecting all collectibles. I recently “platted” (trophy hunter language for: earned the platinum trophy for) Ghost of Tsushima and got stuck on the last 6 hidden trophies. However, not all game developers think this way. So far, it perfectly makes sense to hide some trophies. It could ruin the fun somewhat for a player if he knows how many parts the game has and what titles they have. That’s probably done to prevent spoilers as most of the time, each story chapter has a trophy with a corresponding title. The trophy list of a game can be viewed from the PlayStation menu but some trophies are hidden until earned. But collecting a million collectibles is worth a trophy in my opinion (as in any of the Lego games). I’m not going to replay an entire game in a harder difficulty mode for a trophy (as in Uncharted for exampled).

I like to collect trophies, but only in games I like to play and only if they are reasonable. There’s an online leaderboard showcasing players with the most trophies. If I already completed the game, why would I still collect those things? Yes! For a trophy! Trophy huntersĮnter the trophy hunters: people who are obsessed with collecting as many trophies as possible in games. The same goes for collectibles which have no other purpose than to supply the player with extra information about the game world. I’m more likely to complete an extra side quest if I know it rewards me with a trophy. These trophies give players an incentive to complete content in a game that isn’t required to finish the main story. Bronze is for common achievements like completing a tutorial, silver for uncommon achievements like finishing a story chapter, gold for even rarer achievements like finishing a complete story and there’s always 1 platinum trophy which is earned by earning all other trophies. I’m playing on the PlayStation and the achievements come into the form of bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies. This is where the achievement system comes into play. If the game is engaging enough, some players will also complete some additional side quests but only a handful of players will collect all collectibles. After completing the main story, most players will stop playing the game. The average game nowadays has a main story, side quests and some collectibles. These goals are determined by the developers and generally aim to let the player enjoy every aspect of the game. The PlayStation and Xbox provide an extra reward system that rewards players with digital trophies/achievements when they achieve certain goals in games.
