LifeEngineer wroteI have zero platinums and I even rarely finish big games (open world specifically).
Last games I finished were maybe Uncharted 4 and The last of use because the story was nice and short while being nearly linear.
I love open world game however, and that's the weird part! But I get bored fast!
Some of the open world games that I've played included all sort of Assasins creed, GTA5, RDR2, The witcher 3, Metal gear solid 5 etc, and I finished none of these! Most progress was maybe in MGS5 at like 35% maybe; all others around 15 to 20% max and I get bored fast and dump the game...
Recently, when I switched to PC, I discovered that I am no longer interested in single player games of any sort. All I play now are online/multiplayer games like milsims and simracing. Playing against AI no longer feeds my interest, or sense of accomplishment, in case you get what I mean. But even then, I'm not interested in achievements/trophies at all.
Sorry if that doesn't answer your question directly @VipModz, but I wanted to cast my opinion as this topic was always in the back of my mind. Am I a true gamer?! Should I be feeling any urge or desire to get trophies?! Am I a gamer or a collector of games?! Why did I play these games if not for the final accomplishment of finishing them?!
I kinda envy people like you that at least follow a path or eye a certain target while I feel sometimes that I play aimlessly... But then again, I can't just fake any interest for these trophies... It's either there or not, I guess.
I think the problem is with the open world games you've played, I am surprised you didn't finish games like RDR2 and GTA 5 (both require 100% game completion for platinum pain in the a$$) in my opinion before switching to pc you should've tried another type of open world game (e.g Marvel Spiderman) I am pretty sure you would finish the story + go for the platinum.
I have a similar experience, sometimes I play an open world game (Farcry 5, Ghost recon...) I got bored fast (mainly because of the same repetitive missions) and dump the game but then after months I start playing (Farcry 5) again and finish it by the next day, the main problem you have with open world games in my opinion is that you don't come back after dumping it (you should consider giving it another chance)
Of course you are a true gamer, the desire to get trophies starts when you like a game so much to the point you want to do everything you can in it, the problem with following the path to earn trophies, once you unlock the platinum trophy you never/rarely play the game again (that's the only downside of trophy hunting imo).
My advice if your ever get back to play on a console try playing Marvel Spiderman (fun open world game with beautiful graphics), unlock the plat trophy and you'll see how that feels!
