Confessions of a Trophy Addict
The clock has struck midnight. I'm no longer sure how many hours I've been playing this game for. I'm lost in the single-minded pursuit of collectables. Finally, as I discover the last item, I feel a wave of satisfaction as that final pling signifies another Trophy set has been completed.
So where did my obsession with virtual silverware come from? I've always been a bit of a completionist when it comes to games, as working through them to find all collectables, secrets and the like appeals to my OCD nature. Before the days of Trophies I was already doing this on certain titles - I spent months getting 100% completion on GTA: Vice City and all I got was that lousy t-shirt! It still felt like I had achieved something big, but other than inviting people round to see my new outfit there wasn't an outlet to demonstrate what I had done.
With the arrival of Trophies that all changed, as there was now a way to represent these accomplishments and proudly show them off to others. By collecting these awards I could demonstrate my gaming prowess and commitment to completion.
Collecting Trophies changed the way I approach games. One of the first things I do now after getting a new game is scan through the Trophy list, so I can efficiently maximise my collecting on the first play. It's given me another reason to explore areas and modes of games that otherwise I might not have bothered with.
One of the major downsides to Trophy collecting is going for awards requiring massive amounts of grinding to unlock. It's so frustrating to finish a game's story, sometimes several times, then be left with one or more Trophies that need hours of repetition to unlock, although this can sometimes lead to creative solutions.
I remember going for one of my first platinum Trophies on Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust - shamefully bad, I know. Anyway, by the end I had just one Trophy left to earn, an award which required me to drive a total of 400 miles. Knowing I was well short of the mark and this target would take hours to reach, I strapped up my controller with elastic bands in such a way that Larry was driving in a continuous circle and left him to it. Ridiculous, maybe, but these are the lengths Trophy collectors must sometimes go to in their pursuits.
I found myself regularly posting about my Trophy successes (and woes) on Facebook and Twitter, which got noticed by contacts I had at Future Publishing. They approached me to write a regular feature on my exploits, and the opportunity to become 'The Stig' of gaming (as it was pitched to me) was too great to pass up! With the inaugural Mr Trophy hat printed up, I was in business.
I enjoy writing the feature for the magazine, but it has had an effect on my Trophy collecting. On the one hand, I get access to a steady stream of new games to play and have an added incentive to succeed - I have a reputation to maintain now! However, it's also made collecting harder for me, as due to deadlines I'm always up against it. Usually I only have three or four weeks to rinse a game, and with many requiring at least 40-50 hours to finish it can be difficult to fit in around a full-time job and social life!
When playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss recently, I'd finished the story twice and had frankly seen enough of it by that point, but I still needed to find all the bounty collectables. As they appear at random this ended up taking me a further TEN HOURS to complete, and at times I did stop to question what I was doing. It was a sunny Bank Holiday weekend, and yet I was sat inside playing the same levels over and over again. I considered quitting, but my deadline was looming and I'd put in so much time and effort already I knew I had to push on over this final hurdle, as if I stopped then my chance to grab the Platinum would be gone. Succeed or fail, once my time is up I have to move onto the next challenge, so fully completing games is extra satisfying.
Now if you'll excuse me, I really must get back to work. These Trophies won't collect themselves.

Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy List Leaked, Patch Incoming

Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy List Leaked, Patch Incoming
04/01/2011 Written by Anthony Severino
On July 2, 2008 the PlayStation was updated to system software 2.40. And with it, along with a few handy features, came the addition of unlockable trophies for select PlayStation 3 titles. While trophies are indeed mandatory now, there was once a time when only a few games supported them.
Metal Gear Solid 4 released on the PlayStation 3 just 3 weeks before firmware 2.40 went live, and fans have begged for the title to receive a patch to enable trophies ever since. Konami made the point to state that they’re listening to the outcry from fans, but couldn’t yet give anything more solid than that. Then, the Greatest Hits version of MGS4 was repackaged recently, and on the case listed trophy support. Unfortunately, that was just a misprint.
Today we received a leaked Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots trophy list from an unnamed source who works closely with Konami, and confirmation that the long-awaited trophy patch is coming.
In total, Metal Gear Solid 4 will have 42 trophies including: 29 bronze, 8 silver, 4 gold and 1 platinum. Of those, 16 trophies are hidden (we have those descriptions as well, but are story related so heed our spoiler warning).
Here is the leaked trophy list for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots:
