--- Quote from: Chozo Ghost on April 25, 2011, 12:29:11 AM ---I've only got one Platinum period since I got my PS3 in January. Although, I got up to 90% in Black Ops and by rights I should have that one, but I'm stuck on those stupid trophies which REQUIRE a competent co-op team in Zombies but that's impossible. I beat the game on Veteran so I deserve the Platinum, but because of 2-3 zombie trophies which I can't do by myself I'm screwed.
The zombie trophies should be optional. They shouldn't factor in towards getting the platinum. Or at the very least they should just be ones you can get on your own and don't have to depend on someone else shooting you with a pack a punch crossbow. How the hell can I do that trophy on my own? No matter how great a player you are, you have to someone else help you with these. Its not right.

Yeah, I pretty much despise multiplayer trophies in general. For one thing, you usually have to have very specific circumstances to get them that are so far beyond your control that you pretty much have to cheat and boost them. For another, once the online servers go down, you're usually screwed these days since developers usually require that they be online multiplayer so you can't use local.
Chozo Ghost:
Trophies are supposed to be for personal accomplishments, so the ones which require co-op with other players go against the point of what trophies are all about.
And I know what you mean about the online trophies. I remember not that long ago EA severed all support for a huge number of online games. Most of them were sports games like Madden from previous years. I'm sure most people weren't playing those older years anymore and may not care, but let's say there were some online trophies that someone had missed and they wanted to go back and complete those just for consistency's sake. Well, unfortunately that's impossible now because its no longer even possible to play those games online.

And, at least on the 360, it seems like most of the achievements in EA's sports games are tied to the online multiplayer.

PSN sucks. They should give everyone PS Plus for free for dealing with this bullshit, it's not like anyone actually pays for it anyway. Absolutely pathetic...5 days so far. It's so funny that this came on a free XBL Gold weekend too.

Yeah, Microsoft has to be pretty happy right now. They've got an anser to anyone criticizing them for charging for Xbox Live when PSN is free.
