Does it annoy anyone that after spending X amount of time playing a game for trophies to come out later on? i can understand some games came out before trophy support so fair play (i.e GTA 4) but games like fallout 3, im reluctant to play it (even though i have tried it and think its incredible) as i really dont want to redo the WHOLE game just to get trophys.

Sony should have done this way sooner and shot for making trophies mandatory in january 08 instead. bad timing with all the EA sports titles among many other names in the library now

Because you will be a sad gamer when you play games only for trophies and not for the fun. You said yourself that you don't play Fallout 3 because it has no trophies despite the fact that you think it's incredible. That's just wrong.

Yeah me too, not getting Fallout 3 untill the trophies come out. Plenty of other games to play untill then though.

I have an obsession with trophies, what can I say!

I see where your coming from but for me (and im guessing many other gamers) the trophy system gives me more mileage out of a game-and of course i enjoy playing them! bioshock i got my first platinum, usually i would never have gone through the game on survivor picking up every audio diary etc...the game lasted longer than it would have usually and i get the bonus of having something to show from it! i wouldnt play a game JUST for the trophies (i.e played drakes fortune to death before trophies and not going to play it again as just wouldnt enjoy it) but for me anyway trophies add to the challenge and fun a game can bring!

EDIT: if fallout 3 wasnt going to get trophies i would be playing it to death regardless of the fact it doesnt have them, but because its supposedly getting them thats why im waiting!

thats not what he means. like me he likes trophies, some people are allowed to like trophies so i dunno why you trophy haters cant get that into your heads. he wants to earn the trophies but he doesnt want to put all that effort into a game then have to do it all over again when the trophies come out. its like building a small model of a boat. then a week later you receive the bottle so you have to build the boat all over again inside of the bottle. yes building the model is fun but why waste your time doing it the first time when you will have to do it all over again when you get the bottle. same goes for trophies ill say it again some people like trophies. just because you dont like trophies doesnt mean everyone else hates them too. other people have interests and opinions not everyone likes what you do

as of 09, every PS3 game will have trophies, as said by Sony. Trophies can be good, I do like them when they give you more value for your game, as you try to do different things then what the game originally asks you or gives you credit for performing something quite unique.

Like in Motorstorm PR, you get a trophy for coming 1st in a race, 0,1 seconds before the second. Now that's a fun trophy, which makes you say: dude, awesome. 

You do need your basic trophies for completing levels and the game - progression itself, but that makes me go: meh, don't really care.

So to developers: try to think about your trophies and how they can influence and improve on the existing game-formula that you offer. Then trophies make sence and wanted by people.

i also have a thing for trophies, and am not going to get fallout 3 until they come out. As much as i do think trophies add something to games, they also take away, for me at least. I go for 100% in every game, thats just how i am, and if i read or see trophies that i can't or don't want to do i will skip the game. Examples are resistance 2, call of duty 5, bioshock, farcry 2, little big planet and so on.

In mercs 2 there is a glitch that if on leader boards you have more than a million then you can't get the earn a million trophy, all because you earned a million prior to the patch. So i created a new account just so i can get 100% trophies. Yet games like high velocity bowling, super stardust hd, linger in shadows and so on i would not have got if it wasn't for trophies and i am glad i did, because i enjoyed those games greatly.

Now i do hate that games don't have to support trophies, and hate even more games that get patched after the fact. I know it's not going to happen but if metal gear solid 4 or devil may cry 4 got a trophy patch i would break my playstation. (exaggerating of course) It's those games that take such a long time to beat or are difficult, and to not be retro-active even though you don't get anything out of it just adds to the frustration.

As for me I play a game for the fun of it, if I want to spend time on some stages and rush others I'll do it, trophies are just there to compete with the X360 achievements that were handled badly enough (got the achiev for 100 headshots!, I got 20 achievs today, you noob ; and you gain what? a HD movie that's really a 720p movie with a DVD bitrate ...). It brings improper competition and makes you play the way "someone" has decided.

if you feel that way fair enough, as i have said there are PLENTY of gamers who dont feel that way as for playing it the way "someone" has decided....thats a choice thats given to its not something you have to do, you find trophies tedious-i find them fun to achieve
