Reader Discussion: How Important Is The Platinum Trophy?
It was revealed earlier today that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will not include a platinum trophy for completion. Is this a concern?
Kojima says no platinum trophy is included because it is not a full-price game and the request comes from Sony, but other games that don’t sell for full price, like Puppeteer, have had a platinum trophy. It’s all very strange (like Metal Gear tends to be), but is it a big deal?
Are you surprised the game won’t offer a special reward for achieving all of its trophies? Does it not affect your excitement for the game in any way? Do you care at all about trophies or achievements?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
