You know, it’s about time this happened.
There are many gamers out there who would’ve had a Platinum Trophy if it weren’t for the required online Trophies. This includes last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. If you had all the campaign Trophies but had no desire to play it online, your were deprived of the “completionist” Trophy, regardless of how many hours you put into getting everything.
And, probably that the door swings both ways. How many Modern Warfare 3 fans will easily nab all the multiplayer Trophies but as they have zero interest in the campaign, they’ll never get all the single-player Trophies? As far as that goes, campaign and multiplayer are two entirely different experiences and each should have a Platinum Trophy. Either that, or have two differently colored Trophies, each of which proving your mastery of the offline and online modes.
Do you really believe that one has to go online in order to nab that coveted Platinum? Isn’t it hard enough already? Many campaigns require a huge amount of time and dedication if the player wants to earn all the single-player Trophies; why aren’t we rewarded for that? And on the flip side, why aren’t the multiplayer fans rewarded for similar dedication? It’s time for Sony to give us the appropriate reward for mastery of each.
