At the time I played the hell out of those games, but I still can't get them trophies. I was really happy with the Uncharted trophy list... these are very doable and may be my first (hopefully, not last) platinum. #uncharted2

Marco!
Polo!
I stumbled across that set by accident and got such a laugh... #uncharted2

I'm not a perfectionist or an achievement whore by any means (well, excluding TF2) but I really wish more devs would think like this. Achievements should be impressive-but-relevant things like "Kill 6 people at once with 1 grenade" or something. An in-game medal should be "Bounce a grenade off someone's head to kill them". #ps3

That being said, I hate them, not only does it cut off those who don't have their systems connected to the internet from ever obtaining them, but its just a cheap way for them to try and say, hey, look how many people we have playing our game online, even if the online completely sucks.
Thus I must say, I love Naughty Dog for keeping their trophies to single player only, the same as CoD Modern Warfare. It had amazing online so they didn't need to implement achievements into it to get people to play it.

A trophy is just a paperweight in your cabinet. Sure, having a goal creates lucrative incentive to go further than you might do otherwise. But the real joy is telling people "how" you bowled that 300. #ps3

Ones given through the normal course of play are fine and all, but they get no response out of me at all. :O
If you give me a trophy for backstabbing 500 enemies in Demon's Souls, i'm game.
A trophy for every boss I beat? 'meh, whatev'.
'Beast Mode' sounds like a trophy worth having. #ps3

I hate forced multiplayer trophies and achievements, so I'm glad to see they didn't put in a ton of those. The only two in the game are incredibly easy to pull off. #ps3

That or let's put a higher tier above platinum (like diamond) so that distinction could exist. lol

Anyway, wow, this is great. The fact that I already beat both on God and Titan mode respectively had turned me off of doing it again to get the trophies, but since those won't be trophies, looks like I might go trophy hunting after all. #godofwarcollection

"I have never understood why people find it so difficult."
And? What's your philosophical point? That you're too good? Or that most players are tards?
According to Santa Monica themselves, The Styx was the only level that didn't go through focus tests, and it painfully shows. On my first playthrough, I died about 50 times trying to top those fucking columns because of the buggy collision masks.
Two years later, on my second playthrough, despite being dead nervous at the idea of having to deal with those bloody columns again, I climbed both of them on my first try -- go figure. All I can say is that I am positively certain the collision mask was much tighter the second time around. #godofwarcollection

My point was that I don't understand why people find it so hard. Yeah, the collision detection is off, but after you get hit once or twice you can make adjustments and estimations about how close Kratos can be to the spikes. #godofwarcollection

These collection just increased it's sales a bit by having 2 plats. Trophy whores everywhere are foaming at the mouth at the prospect of 2 platinums for 40 bucks.
Hahaha... #godofwarcollection

Really, there should be more compilation releases like this. That Mega Man compilation was such a great buy. I'd love to see Nintendo lump every Zelda from OoT up to Twilight Princess onto a compilation with a few features. Or if Square would throw all the SaGa games onto a compilation. Or, "Ratchet and Clank's Greatest Hits": put trophies into the PS2 games and toss them all together, with a couple more interlocking features. That's good gaming. #godofwarcollection
