The level system is just fine by me. I don't usually pay too much attention to trophies, but sometimes I will go back and play through a game again just to get them... Kind of adds replay incentive, I guess.

They should stay the way they are. This isn't the 360 I prefer a leveling system over a point system.

Trophies do add up, dude. If you look at someone's PSN profile it gives you the total amount of trophies then breaks it down into how many of each. Heck take a look at the two sigs in the posts above this one. Thats what I'm talkiing about. And on top of that you get levels. Gamers and levels go pretty good together (Am I right RPG fans?). So..... Yes they should, and they already do. ;)

Why? All it is is a way for you to show off the size of your virtual wang-a-lang. Its rather sad, really. I could care less for either of them. To this day the only trophies or achievements I've unlocked were purely on accident. But if we must have them I think they should be left the way they are.

I like the level rank system. Plus, I like how it is broken down into what you actually got (bronze, silver, gold, platinum). I like how it shows the difficult things that you have completed. For instance, someone with 100 trophies and has 2 platinums shows a lot more than someone who has 98 bronzes and 2 platinums. Point systems don't really show that since the person could just play a ton of games and have a high score.

Since you can see the level percentage, just imagine it's a single number. If you're level 7 with 25% and you reaaaaally want a straight points system, close your eyes and manifest "725" in your mind.

I really prefer trophies to the points in the 360. It just feels more rewarding i think, i dunno. To me, it should stay as it is now. Cool system.

Simple answer is they do. I actually think they are better than the Gamerscore points, because an Xbox user could have 20,000G and could have not done a single hard achievement that for example gives 100G, they could have just done hundreds of easy achievements. With the trophies you can see how many different difficulty trophies you have completed. I also like the level system too so you can compare with other people who has done more in all or more in difficult trophies.

I think breaking the trophies down by bronze, silver, gold, and platinum (them also give you an accumulation), as well as the leveling system, is a far better approach to doing it than a simple point total.

That being said, I couldn't care less about trophies or achievements.:)

Well from my experience

a bronze is worth o% or 1%

a silver is worth 1% or 2%

A gold is worth 4% or 5%

a platinum it varies but i guess 9% or 10%

I know this because i have updated my trophies a lot :)

I don't get why the percentages change when adding up

Trophies do add up

I don't really care. I just like unlocking them if they're in a game but I don't miss them if they aren't.

It's fine the way it is. It's a bonus to playing games regularly. I remember the day when games didn't have such things. I guess I'm dating myself.:P

I purely use trophies as a way to gauge my progression through the game, like on Uncharted I'm at 39% I think, so I can easily see that there's a lot left in the game to 100% it...I also like knowing I completely owned a game :P

They should make game that places you according to your rank. If MAG did this it could work.

Why? All it is is a way for you to show off the size of your virtual wang-a-lang. Its rather sad, really. I could care less for either of them. To this day the only trophies or achievements I've unlocked were purely on accident. But if we must have them I think they should be left the way they are.

Besides being innacurate and selfish ("Icould care less for either of them") your argument is sexist. My fiance does not have a "virtual wang-a-lang," and she likes her trophies. I enjoy talking to you Mr. Nephilim83, but your scope in approaching this question is far to narrow.

In response to the TC... I like both systems, but there is something about seeing a platinum (maybe it's societies obsession with precious metals) that revs me up more than seeing 1000 points.

I agree, most of my time has been on Oblivion. No trophy support so i have very few of them. Really not a big deal it just makes it seem as though I have not played much or done much of anything.

Trophies are good the way they are. Unless they add up to credit to buy PS1 games off the store. 1 platinum=PS1 game of ur choice.

the only 2 things that could make trophies better are :

1. give you discount in the store for a certain level ect.

2. unlock things in the actual game like in-game awards (for example, uncharted drakes fortune & sonic ultimate genesis collection)

they are fine just the way they are..

but i would love to unlock like paintball mode for beating a fps on the hardest difficulty and such..

Overall, Something related to the store then. But its not like sony asked for opinions on how the improve the trophy system. I thought they'd only leave it like this until there were 3D trophies in PS HOME. anyone remember anything like that?

I prefer it as is. I like the bronze/silver/gold/plat breakdown. Let's you see how many games someone has mastered or if they've just farmed out a slew of simple achievements from several games.

Exactly. They don't add replay value, they bring more bad then good, thanks to trophies bad games with easy trophies sometimes sell more or get more spotlight than good games with no trophies at all.

gaming itself is pointless.. people do because they enjoy it.. trophies for a bunch of people add more fun.. there also has always been some sort of "trophy" in a game.. so by your rational "high scores" dumbed down the gaming industry as well, hmm and it was that competitive aspect that really made the industry become popular..

Y is everyone so against them, its either u try to achieve trophys or u dont, there is no point in getting rid of them if someone doesnt like them. They just sit there in ur profile, no harm done, seriously.

Anyways, i think they r fine the way they r i guess, it would be kinda cool for like each bronze trophy u get 1 point, for each silver, 2, each gold, 5, and each platinum, 10, or somethin like tht and u get to spend the points on stuff like couches, etc. on PS HOME.

I disagree with everyone saying it adds no replay value. It does, and I love it. It puts a competitive edge on games that otherwise wouldn't have one. I seem to be in constant competition with my room mate over trophies, who can platnium a game first, beat something on Crushing difficulty, etc. It may not add more to games with a strong multiplayer component, but for single player games that I would normally beat once and then shelve, it adds a lot.

They do have point values, that's how the level is determined, it just isn't displayed. I forget what it is exactly, but it's something like 10/30/90/160.
