Years back I used to be a huge trophy collector and it was a big part of my gaming life. I especially remember how I got the plat from Vanquish and the struggles with challenge 6. Vanquish is a Platinium Games fast paced fun action game, but dam was it hard. When I was near at the end of beating challenge 6(the hardest thing to do in the game) I felt like my heart was going to explode. Here is a clip of to see how hectic things can get:

You have to fight bosses and normal enemies at the same time. But dam, I loved this game. I wish we would get a sequel one day.
While collecting trophies was a bit of pain when playing harder games, I had fun at times. I remember how me and my two friends were collecting trophies from CoD: World at War and playing the game on Veteran. WoW`s Veteran and the Heart of Reich level are infamous from their difficulty. We raged, laughed and had fun seeing each other fail and getting angry, and joy was felt when a hard level was passed. We also did this really late which did not really help the case, but it was fun.
Then one day as I was doing some trophy, I don´t remember what it was anymore, but I felt that it was not fun anymore. So I now only occasionally collect trophies from games.
