I would like to thank everyone in the company and especially those people that decided to have this trophy/achievement! It was truly a genius decision!

I can see that I have only spent 1d 09h in offline playing these events, which obviously is not much for a racing game. I have managed to get all the trophies with the exception of Bounty Hunter and King of the Hill and I have completed the career and earned a whopping $6,000,000 in total.

But hey, what is $4,000,000 when you can get from 900 to 27,000 dollars for winning a race! Obviously we like that you can only earn the 27k on the hard level and it takes around 3 minutes of track time. Plus of course the inevitable one minute of reloading the same track every time.

If we do our calculations, it turns out we only need to play that race 149 times to get the money. Pff, piece of cake, innit. But then again, what is 596 minutes in the context of our busy lives? Pretty much nothing. It's only a 100 hours. Imagine what fun would it be to dedicate 2 hours a day for the next 50 days doing the same race over and over and over and over again!

Gosh, what am I doing here! I gotta go back to have some fun! Oh, wait...

All sarcasm aside, I like the fact that developers always like to spoil (or rather prevent) us getting the platinum. This crap in Shift2, Nifty 50 in F1 2010, you name it. Of course, 5 million wouldn't have been enough. You need to almost finish the game to get that. But no. That would be too boring, wouldn't it. Let's make them play all races twice! Awesome! You're a genious!

Thanks to some dick I'm not gonna have my platinum here just because I have life and I can't spend freaking 100 hours on a racing game. And before you do, don't tell me that trophies don't matter. I know that myself but they are there to be won. I like having platinums as a proof to myself. Not to someone else. But there's always who prevents you from getting them. And say whatever you want, this is why I won't buy the legends pack and this is why I won't buy their future products. Also because they don't listen to their customers. Everyone was complaining about the atrocious physics in the first Shift, and they made it even worse in the second. But it's all been talked about a hundred times already.

And once again - thank you SMS! Thank you...

If you have a life, why rage about not getting a platinum trophy?

Besides, if everybody would get it stuffed up their rear, wouldn't it instantly stop meaning anything? If you want to get it to proof something to yourself or whatever, and you want it to be accessible easily, that seems like a contradiction.
 
Yeah platinum trophies aren't suppose to be for those putting in a 'casual' effort! It certainly is a good reward for those who put so much time into enjoying their game.

Do you feel you need the Platinum trophy to enjoy the game? Does your life not feel complete without it? :P
 
Sod the trophies. They mean nothing to me. If they mean a lot to you then I'm sorry for you.
 
-somebody call the waaaambulance
-be patient, wait for the patch on XP levelling
-as mentioned, take it to the rant thread.
 
I know of a game that requires 100 hours of drive time to "unlock" a certain car. 50 hours of driving a certain way for another, 5000 races at 1 minute each for yet another.

Grinding 10 mil in Shift 2 suddenly sounds a lot less daunting... That said, I feel you're looking at it wrong... You shouldn't be playing the game for the trophies, you should be playing it for fun... And the trophy will come eventually. If you're not having fun racing then you won't be getting the trophy without grinding... And grinding with an end goal that does not result in you getting more enjoyment out of the game is pointless.
 
cypher go complain somewhere else ?
 
Platinum trophies are supposed to be hard to get. I own ~50 PS3 games, and I have yet to get a single one. Get over it.

Oh, and if you decide to spam a link no less than THREE times in a single post, make sure it actually works...
