Anyone else tired of Lack of Trophy support?

All the big games aside from Far Cry 2 seems to be ignoring trophies. The games we bought when they were suppose to have trophies.. lies. I'm so tired of that crap. I bought Saint's Row 2, checked online cus I didn't see trophies, see that the devs went "yeah, nah. no need".

Also, don't say "Trophies suck" or something stupid like that. If you don't like them, don't click topics about trophies...

anyone else sick of these treads?FatChuwawa

Yeah. It's just too bad gamers these days have ADD that they "NEED" a little pixelated icon in the shape of a trophie to make them feel like they've actually accomplished something.

I would much rather play a good game without trophies than get a hit game that has them....

Seems to me like an okay number of games have trophies right now, and more are coming out every day. Every Sony owned title WILL have trophies as well.

I would have liked to have seen Trophies in Fallout 3 since the Xbox equivalent gets achievements AND DLC. But oh well, whatever. Good on the Far Cry developers for putting the effort in. Two thumbs up for that. :)SillySkeleton

I know this isirrelevant to this topic but I am trying to make one of those cards in your sig and I make it and none of the trophies I have show... It has my backround, game im playing and my PSN. How does it show the trophies?

I honestly am not very upset toward some games not supporting trophies. In all honestly, it is a given that Sony produced or published games will have trophies. I have also noticed a trend of high profile third party games also supporting them (Bioshock, Far Cry 2, Dead Space, etc.)

Basically it seems most games I want have them, and if they don't, then that is fine, as I truly believe that games without trophies will be a small percentage in the near future. If you think about it, that would be foolish to just ignore a simple implementation of trophies in third party games if they have to make them in the 360 version (achievements). Why not just implement doing the same thing on the PS3 version to instead earn a trophy instead of gamer points? It is so simple that I don't think it will be overlooked much longer.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure it's not. From what I've read it definately wont have them on release, at any rate. Hope I'm wrong though.
Trophies aren't super important I suppose, but they're a nice bonus...

I have been playing games for 15+ years, how soon sony games get trophies changes nothing for me.

Im never gonna buy a game based on what tophies it has, so really I could care less.

Every game may not have trophy support but the PS3 still have a nice number of games that have trophies. Tho I am not the one to talk, I rather a dev take their time with polishing the game then to use those resources on trying to implement a trophy system. Because I refuse to play a glitchy half polished game. Trophies or not. Plus most games have in-game achievements which is just as good for me.

same here been playing games for about the same amount of time, i didnt need achievments/trophies to enjoy games then and i dont need them now.

Trophies are a nice addition. But nothing that would change my mind about a game.

I enjoy trophies. Unlike most people have said, I don't unlock trophies to brag to people or anything like that, And I have yet to meet someone who does. They simply add replay value to games and I think that's a positive thing. I would've never played through Burnout a second time if it wasn't for trophy support.

To the dude who said trophies are a waste of time- They are objectives you can complete in a game, if you think they are a waste of time then you are in the wrong hobby as all videogames have objectives you complete whether they are a trophy or not.

Nope.... unless you actually get something cool in the game (like the semi trophy system in RFOM and Uncharted), trophies are stupid, time-sucks. What are they good for? So you can brag that you wasted more of your life than someone else for something pointless?ag_8

yeah i agree to this, bragging about trophies doesnt come any good, ur just bragging about how ur wasted your life even more.

and thats really stupid, you buy the games for the games itself, not the trophies to brag for it. its not like u getting any extra cool stuff when u get trophies .

i agree it sucks, i remember when trophies were announced Sony said that ALL the holiday games, exclusives and multitaps would have trophy support. Its not gonna stop me from buying any games, but it adds replay value.

How tough could it have been for them to just code the ps3 games with the same achievements that are in 360 games?

1) Give it time. You will come across some one. Especially here.

2) Completing these objectives only because you want a gold icon, IS a waste of time. How can I be in "the wrong hobby" if I've been gaming for close to 25 years? Completing objectives unlocked something. Completing an objective that's actually apart of the game, means you actually get something in the game like a secret ending or something. Trying to beat the final stage on ultra hard with only a hand gun with 5 bullets for a trophy icon is just plain stupid. It would also potentially cause laziness with the devs to not actually make something "unlockable" "They can just get a trophy for it!" People are making this into a chore. Trophies create nothing but problems. People's brains explode over leaderboards enough as it is. It adds no value what so ever. You're not actually playing the game to enjoy it or have fun. You're playing it to "get that trophy".

You obviously didn't like the game that much did you?

Do you want a sticker every time you finish a level?

It's funny how hunting trophies is considered a waste of time when video games on the whole are exactly the same thing. We all chose to waste our time different ways. Doesn't make one particularly worse than the other.emitsu97

In that case. Is watching TV a waste of time? Is reading a book a waste of time? Is riding your bike a waste of time? Was typing that message a waste of time?

Trophies make that "waste of time" less enjoyable and dumbs down the gaming community because kids want something shiny.

In that case. Is watching TV a waste of time?Denji

Generally yes. Content viewed on TV typically is mind numbing.

Is reading a book a waste of time?Denji

Depends on the book.

Is riding your bike a waste of time?

Not when the health benifits are considered.

Absolutely, that's why I post here. It's how I get through the day faster.

I'm soon to be 29 and enjoy trophies and the added replayability they offer.

Good post, you hit the nail on the head. I have been gamming for about 20 years, and Trophies were never needed fot the greatest games I have played over the years. Like my previous post mentions, trophies are a waste of time, plain and simple, unless you get something out of it.

I agree. I don't see the point of getting trophies unless it gives us something for the game like a weapon, item, costume, etc.

Playing videogames just for trophies is indeed a waste of time. But playing for the story is not because you get something in return.
