Any One Else Think That The Trophies Should Have Some Type Of Point System, Or Do You Like It The Way It Is, Speak On It
They should stay the way they are. This isn't the 360 I prefer a leveling system over a point system.
I would rather have a point system like the 360.Duckman5Why? 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.
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
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

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.
No, I wish trophies would disapear from the face of this earth. That is my opinion on them.K1LLR3175I 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.
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..
I think its fine. I think the level system is good and shows your progress just as good as the achievment system .
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.Trophies "dumb down" the gaming industry to the fans. You don't gain anything, not even an in game item. Waste of time.

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..Trophies "dumb down" the gaming industry to the fans.

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.

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.
