[Discussion] What started your Trophy Hunt

Discussion

What game or player made you want to grind out trophies?

I've been gaming on Playstation since PS1. Never took trophies seriously when PS3 came out. Got a couple platinums on my old account but never cared. PS4 same thing. Then COD Black Ops 2 came out and a buddy of mine at the time had a hack to max out my character. It was cool at first but with everything unlocked(Skins & Guns) there wasn't anything left to work for. So ilI created another account just for COD.

Moving forward a year or so I changed shifts at my job and met a couple guys that gamed a lot on PS4. So we all started gaming together. One of them was a trophy hunter and had 20+ Platinums at the time. I didn't really understand the whole trophy situation at the time but talking with him I found a new appreciation for gaming. I started my grind for my first Platinum. AC 2. I was hooked from that point on. I was slow but I was getting them.

Several years later I had 40+ Platinums and my life drastically changed and I fell off the gaming world for a couple years. Then came the PS5 and XBOX Series X. I had a family member buy us a Xbox Series X and I gamed with it for about 4 years before I finally came back to PS5. Nothing against the Xbox or their players but it just didn't have the same feeling of accomplishment of 100% Achievements on Xbox. I missed my Platinums. So last year I bought a PS5 on black Friday and haven't looked back!
