IMO, 20 Trophies sounds better. I have 7300 gamerpoints and I'm working on my first trophy (Uncharted)

20,000 >>> 20

In the end, anyone who uses the number itself to brag about how "good" of a gamer they are need to learn what the meaning of "achievements" really are, adding replay value.

Hm...levels or random points assigned for each accomplishments? I choose levels, but in the end, they both are the same. I'm just more fond of a level system.

After reading about all the details about trophies and how it is supposed to be implemented (with the leveling up feature) I actually like Trophies better. HOWEVER, the fact that Trophies weren't there from the start really hurts the whole concept. If Sony really keeps the PS3 around for 10 years maybe it won't be so bad that the first 2 years of it's library don't support trophies (for the most part).

Good luck getting 20 platinum trophies,i don't even think they have enough support yet so that's auto lose. But yeah the fact trophies aren'tuniversal means they'll never touch achievements although tbh, idon'tdo it forthe points just the challlenge.

Anyway, Trophies are better because it's not such a big number. It's easier to look at.

Your level also goes up depending on how many trophies you earned.

Why do people continue to compare Trophies to Gamerscore? They are not the same.

Trophies = Achievements

Level = Gamerscore

You are not fully undertanding what I am saying. would you rather have 20,000 gamerpoints showing you may have 100% 20 games or have a certain number of platinum trophies. Meaning that it is guaranteed you 100% that number of games

I would say the Platinum Trophhies because you have to unlock all trophies in a game to get it. Where Achievements you could just play lost of games and never unlock all of them like me. I have 17k and only got all achievements in like 2 games.

Why are you comparing Trophies to Gamerscores? You should compare Trophies to Achievement's. Achievment's are the exact same as a trophy, but with gamerscore you get an extra layer to the trophy system so each achievement has a different wieght behind it since the harder it is the more gamerscore you get.

So at the base Trophies = Achievements, but Achievements have an extra layer to them.

Trophies will be better than Achievements only when Home comes out so until then they are pointless.

You are not fully undertanding what I am saying. would you rather have 20,000 gamerpoints showing you may have 100% 20 games or have a certain number of platinum trophies. Meaning that it is guaranteed you 100% that number of games

I'm saying that I don't really care. Neither means anything to me. Neither is more asthetically pleasing.

Who cares?

Id take the points, considering its impossible to get 20 platinum trophies right now, and god knows how long we'll have to wait until we get enough games to support them.

QFT, I laugh at anyone that voted for 20 platinum trophies. Then again, cows hated the idea until trophies were put in...,

Trophies are clearly better because you can tell if a player is good by seeing how many gold or platinum the have.

Same things. Only downside to Trophies is the obvious. They were added so late that the lack of universal implementation kinda sucks.

If Trophies were standardized for all games, they would be the same thing as Achievements.

As it stands now, Trophies are a gimped, "Me too" system, and saying otherwise is absurd.

neither really mean anything

both are just a measure of how long you spend playing games
