Don't give a shit about points. 12 achievements is 12 achievements regardless of imaginary, and arbitrary numerical values attributed to each one.
Fair enough. Just know these kinds of situations are nonequivalent between the platforms. I'm not a fan of that.
I disagree. Of all the ones I've read only about a dozen or so were good (not including story-related trophies or ones that are already in RE4's list) and the rest were low tier trash. I flat out think anything like "Kill 100 enemies" is trash by default.
Ain't that the diddlying truth, man.

Probably could find more, but you don't seem super into this topic so I'll save myself the trouble haha. In no particular order, but I left out any 'kill X enemy in Y fashion or Z number of times'. They are garbage but have been in RE lists in the past so I feel it would've rounded it out, or just give it a boost. Plus I feel like the no save thing is super doable in this one since it gives you a checkpoint every room if you die, so you never really need to save unless you have to turn the game off. Maybe another one for finding a golden egg or maybe die X number of times. Alien Isolation had that and I thought that was funny. And I guess upgrade every weapon to max, spread over NG+ most likely. RE5 had that trophy. Speed run too, for sure, can't forget that.
I can kind of relate because there was a point where I less selective of which games I was 100%ing. Ironically I never finished some of the games I was going for because I wasn't enjoying them enough.
Ultimately any game I 100% trophy-wise tends to be a game I like well enough. There has to be a certain threshold of enjoyability for me to bother doing it. Obviously there's a few exceptions (FFXIII-2, Sleeping Dogs, Fallout 3, GoW) that I ended up doing just because there were easy enough and I never had plans to touch them again and they usually didn't require more than 1 playthrough.
The only exception to those exceptions is probably MGS4. I plan on doing MGS2 some time soon (with a successful Big Boss rank hopefully). Doing that would mean MGS4 was the odd one out so I put up with the bajillion different playthroughs for the emblems to get the plat.
Yeah, that's how it's been for me. Like I'm about to play through Catherine after playing through BioShock and getting those plats this week, and I know for a fact I'm probably not gonna be able to get the platinum for Catherine but who knows.
Exactly, I wanna have enjoyment in getting the platinum or all the achievements for the game. I've just grown to accept ye olde grind-fest that is necessary in JRPGs at this point. Is what it is, and by the I get there I just shut my mind off and jam out to music so it feels like less time has passed. Nier and FFXIII grinding I never want to be put through again. There are probably others I could go back to, or even want to, like I still eventually wanna finish Akumu mode in The Evil Within, all I have left with that game. Probably make that my crowning achievement haha. I need to finish Ni no Kuni now too, left for Japan before I could finish it.
Damn, yeah I thought about getting everything in MGS2, but those virtual trials are ass. I probably could've seen myself going through the game a million times for the tags but nah. I got pretty far in getting MGS4's platinum, but after two playthroughs of following a flashback guide to the letter and not getting the trophy either time, I just gave up cause you can't speed run it and get the flashbacks in the same run and I was getting sick of it anyway. I don't even wanna talk about V lol, screw that game.
Dead Space is easy dawg, anyone can do it. Just upgrade the plasma cutter and you're good for the rest of the game. I can only think of one section that I had some slight trouble with, but other than that, doable. I flat out think anything I do is doable by anyone that has enough perseverance.
And ah, yes, Code Veronica. That's a tough one, definitely one of the tougher games in the series. There's actually a glitch you can do where you can get infinite herbs so you never have to worry about taking too much damage. Never done it myself since I've only beaten the game once.
Oh I know Dead Space is on the easier side, it's just been so long since my hardcore runs I'm not sure I have it in me anymore haha. The only truly difficult parts most of the time were the cheap areas where it's an automatic kill, like the eye part in 2 or any flying section. The gunplay is pretty easy; plus the foam finger gun makes zealot mode a cake walk. I played those on 360, so don't think I'm making it up cause it's not on psnprofiles lol. And plus I felt like I had to do a million playthroughs on 3 to unlock everything haha. And agreed on that last part, if I actually put in the effort I used to with difficult modes I could probably push through them. Thing is, I already get assdiddlyed by my architorture studies enough (last year finally, thank God), that I don't feel super into getting assdiddlyed by a game typically lol. If I did, I'd probably be better at Bloodborne than I am and have the platinum for it haha.
Yeah, I just played the story through the Chronicles game and watched a playthrough before starting RE4 and 5.
