Many people complain that trophies and achievements are much too easy to get. After all, something isn't much of an achievement if everyone cal do it. But how hard is too hard? When are trophies and achievements simply too difficult to get? Pushsquare.com takes a look...

I hate “Hard” modes. I appreciate some people love them and want to challenge themselves. Me personally – nuh-uh. I want to play my games at a reasonable difficulty. I want to have fun above all else. I don’t want to sit weeping into my DualShock replaying the same section over and over just to reach a checkpoint. Thing is – I don’t want to do it, but I do. Damn you trophies.

    Well, sometimes it is a bit much (Wipeout HD much? How many people actually have platinum on that game?).

    It's an optional thing, I don't have many achievements/trophies myself, as it is, I only have one Platinum (Burnout Paradise).

      If you can't do that you shouldn't be playing the HL games. That's a cakewalk compared to other game's challenges.

    To me, I don't bother too much for trophies unless they're fairly easy or interesting. There's no incentive really.

    I have no platinum, except I'm actually going to aim for the R&C plat, since I like the game

    I think a lot of trophies are a bit too much and much preferred if trophies were fun to get.

      R&C has an easy enough platinum, all I have left myself is clearing the challenge mode.

      I only have one platinum myself, as I said before. I'm not a trophy whore XD

    If I feel like breaking my controller, but I actually don't, that's the hardest it should be, those controllers are expensive damnit!

    Those of you who don't know of it, God of War I has a challenge room, the first 9 are doable enough, but the 10th stage is RAAAAAGE inspiring, it took me forever to do, and was the cruelest trophy I've managed to get >_> It isn't worth it, gold or not....
