    So I love trophies as much as the next PS3 owner, but I don't have the patience to stick with a game long enough to get the platinum.  I'm currently a level 12 with zero platinums.  Anybody else love trophies but don't want to put all the effort of finding every last collectible in a game to get the platinum?

    Your trophies makes no sense... I have 5 platinums and about 100 more trophies overall and I am a lower percentage then you.

    Well, I would like to get at least one platinum trophy, and I'm pretty darn close to that with Bad Company 2 (Damn you "Et Tu, Brute!").

    I have 3, and would like to get more... but yeah its tough to both find the time and the patience to play a single game that much. Especially as I have gotten older there is very little time to devote to gaming.

    I've got 2, though I could have around 8 by now if I could be bothered. I'm like 1-2 trophies away from so many platinums it's ridiculous.

    I have a guy on my friends list that just got his 34th plat.  I have 4 of them, but as soon as going for a trophy stops being fun I stop going for it.  I also hate online specific trophies... not cool.

    The platinum is the best part!  There's a certain satisfaction in knowing that you conquered the shit out of a game, even if it meant being dumped by your girlfriend and neglecting all obligations, social or professional.  You can work on those things after you platinum a game!

    Theres a bunch of games where the online trophies prevent me from getting the platinum :(... especially games that are more than a week old :( 
     
    There is so much multiplayer variety now that the communities are diluted and they fall apart real quick for most games so if I don't play it for 100 hours on the first week then they become impossible to get.

    only platinum I've gotten was Uncharted 2, but that's because you get the Marco Polo costume for multiplayer.  Otherwise i have no motivation of gaining platinum in other games that don't give me incentive.

    I have never gotten a platinum. I don't really care about them or have the time/patience to seek them out.  I do like trophies however. I just don't understand people that go crazy for them. I'm a relatively new PS3 owner, so maybe I just haven't played enough games.

    That's because you only have ~100 trophies and he has ~900.

    I have 0.
    Most of the platinum trophies amount to  "collect and do everything in the game and playthrough at least twice" 
    There aren't many games I really want to dedicate that much time to.

    Trophies? No. 
     
    1000/1000? Yes. 
     
    I don't know why.

    I don't have any platinums, nor do I plan to get any. Why? Because even if I did care about trophies (which I don't), I simply don't have the time to go after them. My employer expects me to deliver reviews on a fortnightly basis, so that leaves with no free time to spend trying to get trophies and such.

    don't really care about trophies...or achievements. I just don't like going out of my way for a achievement/trophies that doesn't do shit but say "Hey look at all this time I wasted replaying this crap game 3 times for an easy platinum/1000k"

     I will work towards a platinum if it does not seem like I am far from getting it anyways. My platinums have been in Fallout 3, NCAA Football 10, Borderlands, and Ratchet and Clank. I have a couple games that are on the verge of being platinums but I really do not want to go back to finish them because they are the trophies that are focused on collecting so many items. I need the 100 feathers in AC2 and in Darksiders I need the wrath cores and health. In some games I really just do not want to play again. The best example of that is Heavy Rain, I had my story and do not want to go back through and change it.

    I don't really care for platinums. I only have 1 from Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection in my 1150+ trophy set. I just don't have the desire to play a game until I collect every trophy needed for a Platinum, I need variety. They have no value but they're nice to have as a way of making you feel good for "achieving" a goal.

    I try my hardest to get as many as I can but being addicted to the 360 achievements for longer I find it very, very hard being dedicated to both.  I try to get  platinums in the games I really care about like Ratchet & Clank and Katamari but  sometimes they come naturally like the first Uncharted or  infamous.

    Aiming for everything but platinums is dumb.  That's exactly like bragging about not having 1000 achievement points in anything.

    I try to get the non multiplayer trophies that I can in one playthrough.  Since most Platinums require multiple playthroughs I don't bother with 'em.

     I'm going for my first platinum now with Uncharted 2.  Crushing is making me rage hard.  I think I'll try to plat Dead Space and inFamous next, maybe even Trine haha.
