It doesn't take skill to farm XP all day. Trophies should reward skilled players, not farmers. Imagine if there were an achievement for beating the entire game without Kuro's Charm, or even beating the game without accumulating Dragon Rot. Now that'd be impressive.

You can just say you did it then, theres never been trophies for challenge runs
Proofs...of...concord....kept....
:(
I agree that the plats are easy but I disagree about the gimmicky challenge runs. I dont know what they should add. Maybe beating more NG+ or something
I think with tying trophies to specific gameplay challenges it would at least present the trophies as something interesting to aspire to achieve. Like idk if I’ll ever be able to beat the game without Kuro’s charm but I know it would be a cool achievement and I might try to do it some day.
With the grinding trophies there is nothing for me to be proud of. It’s just a question of how much grinding I am willing to tolerate.
I agree the grind sucks but the completionist in me needs that 100%. Especially for games I love
Yeah it bugs me to not complete them as well, which is part of why I think they should axe the grind altogether
do you mean XP grind or Sen? I've gotten like 80%+ of the skill tree in NG+ and i've not had to farm yet, i figure by the time i get all 4 endings I'll have more than enough. Sen is easy to stockpile if you buy out all the coin sacks and fight minibosses in NG+ (500 sen each)
Fully agree. Never bothered getting platinum for any of them because I can’t stand the grind they require.
I never killed Queen Yharnam because I hate the Chalice Dungeons so much so never even got to her.
Same
They just should remove the brainless farm aspect of achievements. Got better compared to DarkSouls 3 but getting Height of technique still involves alot of farming. Not sure about the challenge part though. I think achievements should be available for every one. But still better than having to farm.for.hours that's right
At least it's not 5 hours of grinding silver knights for those goddamn proofs of concordant kept.
If you have every tool in the game, know where all of the enemies are, what their weaknesses are, maxed out all of the consumable huffs, invested in attack power via the mask and other things I may have missed that will generally make you a demi-god, is playing through higher NG+ cycles really any more challenging/demanding of skill then farming at this point, if not why should a trophy be locked behind getting that far. Like farming it's just a matter of putting in the time.
Oh and the other thing I want to bitch about is that the trophies encourage you to play on NG+ rather than the significantly more fun NG.

I posted this before, but I felt like the "Man without Equal" achievement should've been for defeating both Isshin fights without taking a hit.
I think it’d be cool to have an achievement to complete a NG+7 run
