What I mean is, do you trophy hunt? Do you play just for fun? Do you focus on one game at a time? Do you bounce around?
Growing up on older gens, trophies seemed so stupid to me when they first came around. Some arbitrary nothing that means nothing and gives you nothing. Bragging points for no one.
Years later, I’ve come to appreciate revisiting older games in my collection and trying things I might not have. Trophies are sort of a suggestion guide for me. I absolutely never would have dabbled in any online modes if not for that. Just wasn’t something I was interested in.
So over time, my play style changed. I bounce around, knock a few off one game, then something else. I never pick one game and just hammer through for a platinum. I barely have any of those. I think for me if I just played one game non stop I would get bored and it would feel like a chore. But that’s me. I’m okay with cracking a little bit here and there.
Just got me thinking. How do you play?

Edit 2: I posted this half drunk before bed and woke up to 100 replies. I sat here, made a coffee, then another, and read them all. Obviously couldn’t respond to everything but you are all rad for participating and contributing. Thank you so much! Been very interesting to read.
I mainly play one game at a time, although it depends. If I have a horror game on the go, I wait till night times to play it, so often have another daytime game going at the same time. In terms of achievements, I have absolutely zero interest in them and I've never tried to get any. I just enjoy playing through the game for the game itself.

Same, and I've never even understood the point of achievements in certain types of games. I can understand them in skill based games like FPSs but when it comes to things like adventure games or RPGs where you get the achievement just for following the story, it just seems utterly pointless.
