Analyzing Trophies and Achievements

On our guide to Earning More Trophies/Achievements we saw that the first step is analyzing the game's trophies or achievements to figure out whether to go for all of them or not. But how exactly do you do that? Let's find out shall we.

How Much Free Time Do You Have?

As you're scrambling through the trophies/achievements you'll want to concentrate on real time-consuming trophies, depending on how much time you have. If you have nothing else to do but play the game, you may skip this paragraph. If not, read on.
So, you don't have much free time, but still, you want to go for as much achievements as you can. But how do you decide which to go for? Well, it depends on the trophies. As you read through them, and read what's asked to earn them, you'll want to take note on time-consuming ones such as beat the game on hard difficulty settings, or obtain all endings (like in Heavy Rain). Ok so now what? Do you just skip those trophies and go on? Well, no.
First of all do some research. How long is the game? Do you have enough time to complete it twice or three times? How many endings does the game include? These are really important questions to answer since knowing how long the game actually is will let you decide if you have enough time or not.

(Almost) Impossible Trophies

If you have a lot of free time, doesn't mean you can go for all the trophies either. There are many trophies that are almost impossible to get. For example, in the game Killzone 2 on PS3, there is a trophy where you have to be in the top 1% of the week's online players. I'm not saying this is impossible, but you're going to have to need a lot of training and, dare I say, obsession to the game. Since you're going to have to play this game about 12 hours per day for a week, and be extremely good at it too, to obtain this trophy.
