Once again, the gaming community is back, with bounty hunters demanding that PlayStation remove online multiplayer achievements from some games. These allegations arose after players noticed that obtaining the platinum trophy in some online games has become more difficult with newer titles, and the reason is that some online trophies require significant effort to obtain.
Through the Reddit community, a player bounty hunter has called on PlayStation and Sony to ban online achievements from linear games. The reason is that these achievements are very difficult and significantly hinder the player's progress toward platinum in some games.
Players are required to include online achievements in games that involve or rely on multiplayer. For example, games like Battlefield and Call of Duty must include multiplayer achievements. Conversely, in linear games, online achievements should be easy, because they are ultimately linear games that rely on storytelling and exploration.
As a bounty hunter who loves collecting trophies, I'm always chasing the "platinum" jackpot in games, and I often face many difficulties due to online achievements. When I was collecting trophies in Need For Speed Unbound, I managed to unlock all the story achievements. But what really prevented me from getting the Platinum Award were the difficult achievements required to play online.
One of the game's achievements requires you to play a race with 7 other players. This means that 7 players must accept your invitation to join the race and complete it with you to unlock the achievement. I failed to do so after about 100 attempts. All the players I invited were rejected, and I couldn't collect 7 players through 7 invites. Instead, I only collected a maximum of 5 players. This in-game online achievement and others prevented me from unlocking the platinum, so I deleted the game.
I don't know what you, our followers, think, but I look forward to your participation below. Do you suffer from the same problem?
