Trophy Addiction: Why I Hate To Love Trophies

Games like Dark Souls 3 makes me glad there is trophies. I just feel some games make them too easy or annoying. In none chapter(select) games, I do not like collectibles trophies unless it is an open world unmissable list, and I HATE those missable ones you wouldn't figure out in a thousand years without reading the Hidden trophies list.. I guess you have to start another playthrough to get to middle of the second half of the game to do some ridiculous and easy action on some obscure object in one of a hundred locations to make some nod to some other game, event, or person.

I still don't like to play crappy games just for trophies.
Trophies/achievements have ruined me somewhat as a gamer, though, I sometimes do find myself deciding what games to play based on trophies. I used to play PS2 games on the PS2 or emulated, now I'd rather wait for them to release on PS4 so I can get trophies. I don't play Nintendo games as much BECAUSE there isn't any sort of achievement system, which I know is pretty bad. If I do play a Nintendo game, I'd rather play the classics I've never played that came out in the generations without these achievement systems.

I hate when I have to replay entire game for some obscurely missable trophy in a 60 hour+ game (like the Bronze card shit in Witcher3, because I did not play cards with someone during some specific quest ,.. or saving some merchant was glitched (and game even has new game plus,.. but cards don't carry over for some stupid reason) It is almost painful when you clear something really hard, do all sort of stupid shit,.. and you are missing some stupid bronze for platinum ,..
PS: Just noticed. Funny how the article picture is the name of the exact trophy/quest in Witcher 3.

YES.. I ran into the horse racing glitch and merchant glitch on Witcher 3. And I'll have to do another playthrough to the end just for the Gwent trophies. That's all I'm missing(gwent and horse racing) for the platinum.
