Can’t believe they’ve added a trophy for completing the game in less than three hours. chance are if you’ve never played it before and don’t cheat then you won’t manage it. Then you have to spend three hours to get it once you know what to do….boring as hell in a game like this. Great game though.
Gotan: “chance are if you’ve never played it before and don’t cheat then you won’t manage it”??
So you think the time limit for this trophy should be such that even a first timer will definitely get it? It’s a speedrun trophy for chrissakes!
If anything, they should have removed all the chapter completion trophies and include more trophies for extra curricular activities. That way the trophies would reward you for inventive gameplay and extra effort, instead of rewarding you for mere progression (the lamest trophy type there is).
i relished in the fact the 1st one made me go through it again for the speed trophy, or i wouldn’t have played it twice. once through to soak up the new graphics and sounds and another run through (in one hour and 25 mins) for my own speedy enjoyment.
Decker is right though, trophies for simply following the game through to completion are both unrewarding and cheapen the rest of the trophies. it’s also unimaginative and that wasn’t was i was expecting from the makers of the best game ever. that’s right, i said best game ever, and i mean it
@Decker Well good for you if you find playing through an adventure game a second time just to achieve a speed trophy is fun or even worth it. I’d much rather have ones for inventive playing, not speed runs. It’s hardly a challenge to play through a game like this within a time limit when you know exactly what to do. So what ‘s the point??!! The whole point of an adventure game is to make you think about the puzzles a bit and enjoy the story. Once you’ve gone through it once it’s BORING AS HELL to do it again at pace. It’s not like an arcade game where some element of skill may be required to achieve it. That to me makes it worse than a trophy for just progressing (and no I’m not saying I like these type).
I’d just like to point out that this is a remake of a classic game and I’m sure more than half of the people buying this game have played it so the trophy for them (including myself) is seeing if we still remember everything. saying its ‘boring as hell’ to do it again gets negated by the fact that almost everyone has already played it so clearly, it’s not boring.
Cheers.
@Hirvorn Yawn………Yes, it’s an OLD classic game. I bet you most the youngsters will never have played it before. If people are buying this game AGAIN to ENJOY it again, then most of them will be wanting to spend the time re-exploring everything and enjoying the different conversation choices. Not speeding through the game for the sake of a trophy. Do you watch all you favourite films in ‘Fast forward’ too?
