What Trophies Are You Most Proud Of?
Trophies and Achievements are one of this generation's most significant new features, and one that will likely endure for quite a while.
Some don't care at all but others are definite Trophy fiends. And it's no secret that a great many Trophies are extremely difficult to obtain; they may take a huge amount of time, or a huge amount of skill...or, more often than not, both.
So of all the games you've played over the past five years, which Trophies/Achievements do you most treasure? Which are the ones that made you go, "Damn, I can't believe I actually got it!" Personally, I've never gotten into the whole Trophy craze, primarily because I have a small pet peeve when it comes to such forms of bite-size instant gratification. There's just something about these Trophies that makes me feel a little too much like a subject in a Pavlov experiment...
But even so, when it comes to games that really grab me, I have to admit I've glanced at the Trophy lists, just to see what I might have to do to obtain that always-elusive Platinum. See, I don't have any (although I would if there were Plats awarded only for single-player accomplishments), and I keep wondering if I'll ever get one. Maybe I'll get the one for Journey; it doesn't seem too tough. Or, if I decide to put in enough time, the Platinum for FFXIII-2. But I doubt it. Still, I know I have a few pretty cool Trophies; what are yours?
In short, which ones do you brag about?

Geobaldi,
How do you delete your trophies????
I've got lots of games that I want to rid out of my trophy list, such as demos I didn't like that actually gave me 1 or 2 trophies. Or since I'm a collector, I also play a sample of every game that I buy & I've gotten 1 or 2 trophies that way too. But if I decide I don't like the game, then it will forever sit on the shelf in my collection.
So my trophy list looks like a bunch of games that I've started, but always wimped out on.
Anyway, I just want my trophy list to really show for just those games I felt were worth playing.

It is a fact that Capcom has had a history of having their difficulty levels glitched. I believe I recall a specific version of Street Fighter II on the SNES that was more difficult on "Very Easy" than "Very Hard".

My proudest trophy.. FFXIII... i donno how many turtles i farmed..., but i did it. 110 hours.. i was so proud of myself.
i also got the plat for Dragon Age: Origin, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas.
All took me about 100 hours to get the plats.... it was fun to do though.. love those games.. except the bugs in FO3 NV drove me nuts
Assassin's creed 2, was actually not that difficult to plat... a lot easier than brotherhood and revelation.. as I don't do multiplayer..
resident evil 5 was kinda hard to get...
the easiest one i got was probably GOW Chain of Olympus.. must of died 1000 times though.. ready to throw my controller..
and last but not least. if anyone can believe.. harry potter lego 1-4. played w/ a friend until we found all the people in the game!
I AM HOPING TO get the plat for FFXIII-2.. not sure if i got the patience this time around..

Reason behind so many trophies is because, I don't like a game unfinished. If I haven't done everything in the game then I shouldn't get rid of the game space on my HDD.

Vanquish: The challenges in this game are insane. This game is held in high regards as being one of the hardest to plat.
Wipeout HD: The Beat Zico trophy and Zone Zeuss trophies were quite hard to beat. In some ways I had more trouble with this than Wipeout, but I'm still unsure as to which was harder or not.
Street Fighter 4: The trials in this game were pretty hard. It took quite precise timing to pull them off and there are numerous amounts of them as well.
Mirror's Edge: The time trials and speedruns were difficult, but rewarding. Finding different kinds of jumps you could pull off to shave some seconds was really rewarding.
I do have some RPG plats that took a whole lot of time, like FFXIII, both Fallouts, both Souls games, but those ones were mostly not about skill and just about grinding so I'm not particularly "proud" of them.

I'm equally ambivalent to all of my trophies.
I'm probably most proud that I have all of the trophies in AC2 but one, but have no need to get that trophy just so I'd have another platinum. I tried for it, but it wasn't worth doing the same thing again and again ad nauseam until I got lucky.

other plat trophies I got: ICO/SOTC HD version, MGS2/3/Peace Walker HD version, Heavy Rain, GOW1/2 HD combo, GOW3, Dante's Inferno, I am considering plat Uncharted 2 and 3 but not sure about the online part tho.....
Beside that, with all the platinum trophies I got, I would say the Platinum trophy of Demon's Souls are the most time consuming and hard earned, I spent 200 hours + on platinum it especially with the obtain all special weapon trophie, some material are just too rare to obtain and I have to farm endless hours to get it.... so yea I will say FF13-2 and Demon's Platinum trophy are the proudest ones I got, just based on the massive amount of hours you need to invest in.

I know I'll get a ton of thumbs down but whatever, the one I felt the least amount of satisfaction with was the Uncharted platinum, just way to easy to get.

Possible Platinum Candidates:
Uncharted 3 and Golden Abyss
Kingdoms of Amalur
Journey - Just beat this last night and it was fantastic! Just need to go through it again now that I know what trophies to look for. I never look at trophies before I play to avoid spoilers.

Arkham Asylum and Arkham City plats make me happy too. Some of the challenge rooms are ridiculously hard.
Also, Sonic 4: Episode 1's "Untouchable" trophy. Completing all the bosses WITHOUT taking damage... Ugh, lost a controller on that one.
Oh yeah, before I forget: Megaman 10 "Mr. Perfect" trophy... if you know the requirements then you're most likely shaking your head at me now and I don't blame you.

Will start working on Ghost of Sparta and when I get the platinum I will be proud of having every single trophy in every God of War game.

(I didn't so it took me 2 playthroughs for both games)
The only one that required any grinding on my part was the rich ending trophies. For totori you have to have 500k and for Rorona you need 1 mil. (Money is about twice as easy to get in Rorona, so their difficulties are pretty equal) It would be easier to make money as you go in the final years by farming the pricey mats as you go. But if you're like me, I didn't manage time well, so I had to use the Spring Liquid trick. (Easy to figure out on your own and even easier if you read about it) It's incredibly time efficient as you can get all your money in a month of game-time. But you're very boringly going through menus using the spring liquids... which can be like 3 hours of extremely boring grinding.
But that's all the grinding necessary. It's super easy to level up to max level (which is needed for both games for your main character and Cory in Rorona and main character and Mimi in Totori) As long as you always keep Cory with you in Rorona and Mimi with you in Totori, at end game, you might only have to spend an extra half hour getting to max level. Not tough.
Anyways, if you do use a guide, make sure you go by their recommended dates for everything. I noticed some of their "suggestions" are actually pretty necessary. lol You don't need a guide to plat, but it will take you 2 playthroughs like it did for me. At the very least, you'll need a trophy list, if not a guide, because most of their trophies are "hidden". Which is super lame.
Anyways, yeah. Not tough. Just manage yourself as you go efficiently.

I really like how it's not about a grind but more of time management. Those are kinds of trophies I like because they demonstrate some actual cerebral thought with regards to micromanagement. An RPG trophy I'll be proud of once I get it.

While playing the whole night & another 1/2 day of User Generated Missions in infamous 2, I accidentally hit the button to make a mission myself instead of doing someone else's mission that I had intended to do.
But once I realized my mistake, I backed out of it & boom...I got a trophy for that.
So now I've got a UG somewhere in inFamous 2, with exactly nothing that I did, in it
By all right's my trophy should've wound up being named the "Stupid, Tired & Extremely Inattentive" trophy.

As much as I don't want to say it, probably FF XIII. This is simply because it took me the longest (123 hours) and because I had to force myself to play through it twice because I wasn't thorough enough when searching for accessories and upgrading weapons the first time around...
No, wait....scrap that. GOW I and III were my pride and joy! :) I just remembered the Challenge of the Gods and playing No. III on the hard difficulty.
There was a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears that day.... :/

4.InFamous:True Hero
5.Bioshock: Little Sister Savior
I'm still working on my first plat and I'm real close getting one in Ghostbusters,God of War III and ACII but the problem with getting one in Ghostbusters is people stop playing the multiplayer.
