Hey guys just wondering how many "dirty" plats you have on your account.

I would classify a dirty platinum as one that is extremely easy or a kid's game, probably with at least 70% of people earning the platinum. These are generally the games you wished you never played, with no sense of achievement completing it.

For example, I would say Hannah Montana is definitely a dirty plat, along with games such as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "Megamind".

I only have Terminator Salvation, and to be honest it wasn't anywhere near as satisfying as any of my other games as it took about 4-5 hours over 2 days. My only salvation , was that I played it co-op with a friend, making the experience a lot less painful.

So yer, feel free to post your thoughts on "dirty" plats below, as well as answering the poll

EDIT: hacked platinums are even dirtier!

I think your description of a dirty Plat is a bit " insulting " to say the least, to most(IMO).
I mean, they are gamers that for sum reason, that enjoy some of the easier games as you described.
when I hear "Dirty Platz" I'm thinking Platinums that are achieved through a game save or a hack of sum sort.
I'm just saying, that's what comes to My mind when I think about it.

but just to answer question, can't say I have any dirty Platz.
by your definition or mines.

but by another definition, I would consider " DamNation " as a " Dirty Plat " for the hatred I have for it.

Oops, I hope I haven't offended anyone with my derogatory description of dirty platinums

I could always replace "dirty" with "extremely easy"? It's just my hatred for games like Terminator Salvation that has fueled this lol

Dirty should equal hacked...not earned the old fashioned way. What YOU consider easy, may not be easy for someone else.

Now I'm planning on getting the PS3 NCIS game, cause I enjoyed the PS2 CSI game and me and the wife got to spend the time together solving the crimes. If I plat it, it's an earned trophy...but I'm not getting the game for that purpose. I'm getting it for the enjoyment. According to your definition...it's a dirty plat because the game is easy and linear? To that I say *BLEH.* If you're playing games not that you enjoy, but to pad your "not real" trophy list just so you feel better about yourself...you have more serious self-confidence, self-esteem issues you need to work on or your life really is gonna suck. I'll expect to see you on a future Dr. Phil whining about how unfair your life turned out.

i don't know how to vote... there are clearly platinums in my list that are trophy hunting plats but I actually like Pixar movies and stuff like that... I mean if i was really trying to be a trophy whore i would have the Hannah Montana platinum...

"dirty" plats could be classified under platinum trophies that were boosted rather than earned yourself...

example:

Demon's Souls platinum can almost be handed to someone if someone else has all the weapons...
Dungeon Siege 3 hardcore mode can be boosted...

both of these games were hard and i had about 120 hours into both of them but i would be lying if i said i earned them all by myself... Other than that i have games that i have gotten the platinum for in under 10 hours but i actually liked those games and i would play games like them again...

This year is the year of the RPG for me and none of the RPGs that im playing this year are boost-able because they are single player games.

[Gotakibono]

My "easiest" game would be Trine, but to be blunt I just play and platinum games I enjoy. I'm a simple man.

[PSXtreme_]

Technically, you need help in most games to get the plat. Most of them have multiplayer involvement somewhere.

Dirty is cheating.

[d3m0nd00d]

Damn!!! Thought this was a thread on porno games.

To answer the OP I would say maybe Tron. I have a problem playing kid games for some reason my tolerance level is about 30 minutes to an hour till I can't stand playing them anymore.

[BDKSimba]

Damn!!! Thought this was a thread on porno games.

if this is the case, I got a couple Platz in this area . I mean, none postable.

[JennifairyW]

By your definition of 70%+ being a "dirty platinum" then that would mean my first Sly game was one, but i really enjoyed that game i love kiddie platformers

[ShadowGandalf]

I have some easy 's but i'd hardly call them dirty. I never bought them because it was an easy plat. i bought them because they looked fun.

Ice Age 3 - because i enjoyed the film
Toy Story 3 - likewise, plus Woody's Roundup sounded interesting
Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires - because i'm a long time DW fan (was disappointed by DW6/E though)
Harry Potter & Half Blood Prince - because i'd played all 5 other games
Rio - because I really really really loved the film

I never got Hannah Montana because I don't like Hannah Montana, Terminator looked rubbish,... i only EVER buy games I know/think i'll enjoy. If i get a game and find I don't enjoy it, i play it to Platinum/100% then never look back.

[ARDCOREARNIE]

2 unfortunately , cloudy with a chance of meatballs and spare parts. Would never get a dirty plat again though, its shameful lol

[Naruto Uzumaki]

I have 3 Megamind, Spare Parts ,Puss In Boots I agree with BDKSimba title should be change.

[Sidewinder]

Jesus, I'm not trying to offend anyone by calling them "dirty" plats, I could also have referred to them as "whorish" or ridiculously easy platinums that you regret ever playing; however these threads have been done before and I wanted a discussion with more depth than just "list your easiest plat".

I'll leave the categorising up to you because if you enjoyed playing Ice Age 3, (which was because it's a fun game and nothing at all to do with the easy trophies) then fair enough, as you obviously wouldn't consider that a dirty platinum in your collection.

[ARDCOREARNIE]

i think ur right to call em that, they r extremely cheap and easy

[ShadowGandalf]

Actually, ARDCOREARNIE, I would've bought those games I listed above even if they didn't have trophies.
I don't care so much about getting as many trophies as possible, I mainly care about 100%ing what I DO get. I'm a completionist, not a trophy hoarder. In my eyes there's a difference.

Look at my profile and you'll see I have some difficult and time consuming games too. So please don't suggest that I'm cheap just because I have some easy games.

[civilred1]

I got Harry Potter 6 for the easy Platinum

[Kirbz]

i have 3. although i only consider 2 of them "dirty" they are terminator salvation and madagascar kartz. the third one, the one i enjoyed was ice age 3

[Parker]

Nope, don't have any. If I don't enjoy a game I won't play it and I sure as hell won't go out of my way to play a game I dislike for hours on end just to get trophies.

[GuessMyUserName]

Yeesh some people are ridiculously easy to offend.

Anyways, none for me. I've only got a few plats, and they're all from games I really enjoyed.
