There is a person with over 10,000 platinums on PSNProfiles leaderboards. I picked a random day from their account and looked at what it takes to be a leaderboard leader!
Probably are multiple people playing in the same account. As why they do this I really don't have a clue. There is no money involved on this rankings as far as I know.
Yeah... I play video games to escape reality, get a dopamine hit / sense of satisfaction from trophies / achievements, and only platinum games I actually enjoy. These guys are next level. Respect their grind and dedication, but I'd argue it's a real addiction for them, potentially one that takes up too much of their life and takes away from their life. Obviously peoples' scenarios are different in life, so no judgement here. To each their own...
It's just a completely different way of engaging with games, right? I'm with you in that I also have a morbid curiosity about the type of player that still aims for leaderboards in the modern day. I sometimes wonder if they're enjoying it just for the sake of the journey, or if they're still holding out hope that those quick and easy platinums will fall out of favor one day. Then they can go back to more traditional games. Like, they're just trying to stay ahead with optimism it'll eventually pass? Not sure. Fun video, thanks!
Morbid curiosity is a good way of describing it, i find it fascinating. I don’t know if they are enjoying it.. imagine you need a minimum amount of platinums per day to keep your place on the leaderboard. Then you have a `bad` day and only get 3 platinums and you feel down about it. I also don’t think the quick & easy games will gall out of favour. It is like its own mini industry.
Interesting video. Have never really understood the whole leaderboard thing. I don’t see any value in it. I personally wouldn’t get any satisfaction playing those low quality games but I guess each to their own. Have you bought anything in the Days Of Play sale? I see Alone In The Dark has been reduced to £25 on Amazon and Smyths so I might pick that up. You might like it given that it has similarities to Resident Evil.
Each to their own for sure. I have not bought anything yet but need to have a thorough look this weekend. I was interested in Alone in the Dark, definitely reminded me of Resident Evil. But i have heard it is short so not sure if its worth £25, Looking ahead, I am planning on getting Star Wars Outlaws, Silent Hill 2 and Astro bot so conscious of those a well. Still need to get Stellar Blade as well
I try to have the mind set of to each their own but any PSN Profile with way more Gold Trophies than Silver Trophies I find it hard to have any respect or admiration for them. They literally just spam the 11 Golds and 1 Platinum 5 minute games. Admittedly I have played a few of them myself on my profile but I try to balance my profile with Easy, Normal and Hard platinums. I think the quick easy platinums can be a great palate cleanser after a difficult game and kind of an extra reward for playing a hard game. However I think it goes too far when the Gold Trophies are higher than the Silver Trophies. That to me shows an imbalance and a tendency towards the "Shame games" as I jokingly call them. However to each their own. Play what makes you happy and focus on your own profile and set your own goals with it. My current goals are eventually 99.99% completion and under 300 or even 200 unearned trophies. As stated in the video. Don't get caught up in the rankings. It is impossible to catch up.
Shame games!! That is a good way of labelling them lol. Yeah I know what you mean…when there are more gold than silver or bronze it does make me look at it differently. And i agree, nothing wrong with a palate cleaner after a long platinum. I do shorter games as well when it feels right. Good luck with the % completion and unearned trophies
Interesting topic for sure, it's hard for me not to judge these guys, if they have so much free time why don't they just play good and challenging games... anyway everyone is free to do what they want Just imagine if they changed the leaderboards and how much points these shovelware games give hahah
The monetary sink is insane. Not to mention they have to buy psn cards for other countries to play the other country games. That step alone is enough to keep me away from
I don’t fing the completion of these profiles impressive at all. If you have profiles with 100 games and let’s say 0% completion and add 100 shovelware games which can be done in like a day if you pick wisely your are already at 50% completion. If you do 900 which can be done in a month assuming you don’t have any yet you are already at 90%. Your 100 real games are still untouched. To scale it up to this guys numbers. He has 10k plats. So we can estimate he has about 10k games finished 100%. To get down to 50% completion he would need to find 10k more games. Psns currently tracks just 26k games. So if he doesn’t not specifically start games earn 1 trophy and abandon them to push his completion rate down anything below 90% is barely possible. Just look at ikemenzi who has 220k unearned trophies and still a completion rate of over 60%. Working hard to push it down and still not a bad rate.
Most of these high trophyhunter own multiple devices that can let you platinum 4-6 games at once and have turbo controllers that let you platinum clicker games like my name is mayo or the stroke the animals series
But i think you can get banned on PSNprofiles for getting trophies in multiple games around the same time or i maybe wrong. i didn't even think of the turbo controllers 😬
I think you only get ban if the trophy earned illegitimate for example gta5 online if someone give level 100 I think you get removed from leaderboard but things like autopopping or playing multiple games at once are fine as long as the trophy are unlocked how they're are supposed
@jahanzebhayat I believe so another good reason why it's difficult for me to achieve top 500 psn profile UK I don't own a ps3 or vita so I either have to rely on playstation premium or borrow a vita off my friends
Dude seriously who the fk'ing cares about ranking and whatever 👀 they are nuts.....if I platinum a game it's becouse I like'it a reason maybe to play more and I don't give a cent if someone knows about that....it's just for gameplay. 🤪 side note: Platinum Uncharted, DSouls, ForHonor whatever or Talltale games, Pokemon GO or a random cheap game it's not the same so in the end it's a about what game you Platinum not how many....
Very Bizarre indeed, you always get in life the extreme end of the spectrum, these guys probably don’t even make up the 1% of gamers, addiction and compulsion to keep growing a number. I can’t see how it would be enjoyable, definitely not healthy: most of the shovelware games are pure brainrot with no engagement. It’s like reading a book that has one word on each page “cat” “dog” door” 😂 that’s what my analogy would be.
good analogy. it is like that. also love brainrot lol!! they are probably the 1% of gamers but i reckon in trophy hunters they are probably 10-15% possibly. so many of them on the leaderboards, had to be quite a few of them
DAVID CALLING HIMSELF THE KING OF TROPHIES IS HILARIOUS 😂
Great idea. It is part of our hobby. Loved the mini insight.
Took me 6 years to platinum Arkham Knight. It meant something to me when i achieved it. Farming shovelware plats is just nonsense.
took me 6.5 years lol!! no amount of shove plats would equal the feeling i had when i got Arkham Knight
@@jahanzebhayat fantastic feeling bro.

Multiple people on account is even more weirder right.

It is a very different way of going about video games compared to us regular guys.

it would be interesting if leaderboard were based on points per game and then we would have a very different picture.
Im convinced they're all super rich and dont need to work. I have no idea how they'd have the time or money otherwise😅
it's a good theory. and quite possibly true. how they afford all these games!!
The monetary sink is insane. Not to mention they have to buy psn cards for other countries to play the other country games. That step alone is enough to keep me away from
Yup. Spending a lot of money everyday to get these plats. It adds up over the year so not sure how these guys afford it

..... Very weird ..... 👀👀👀👀👀
..... Yeah weird .... 👀👀👀👀👀
Very weird mate
I wonder the age of this person. They clearly don't have to do a full time job.
But old enough that they have money to spend everyday on these games

@@kingbottyfish ok cool, i imagine some people play Vita whilst playing PS4 etc to get more plats per day
@jahanzebhayat I believe so another good reason why it's difficult for me to achieve top 500 psn profile UK I don't own a ps3 or vita so I either have to rely on playstation premium or borrow a vita off my friends
@@kingbottyfish well hopefully more PS2-3 games come to Premium and you can get more of the older platinums without a PS3 or Vita
