Do trophies/achievements encourage you more to get a multiplat on PS3/360?

Rather on PC/WiiU/Mac despite if all versions are exactly the same or the PC/WiiU/Mac versions are superior

Real talk

Actually Party Chat is what pushes me to get my games on the 360 instead of the PC or PS3 most of the time.

Steam also has achievments dumbass.

Trophies mean absolutely nothing to me, so no.

So would I take a meaningless number over better graphics, controls and framerate?

No.

No, I give no flying f*ck about trophies or achievements, and I find people who do seriously very pathetic.funsohng

My thoughts exactly. If you need achievements/trophies to make you do something in particular in a game, then you have no right to make fun of grinding mechanics in MMos, since it amounts to the same thing in the end, i.e very boring game mechanics.

I'm pretty sure Steam has achievements.

No, I've bought the Wii edition of some games over the 360 edition.

yes... but it's not my main reasons... The controller is probably the biggest reason. Dualshock is shiit.

But not nearly in all games, and I could be wrong but *NO* EA games have steam achievements. Also some PC games have XBOX Live achievements instead of steam achievements - but there are many games that have no achievements at all, including EA's entire catalogue. 

I do think it would be pretty stupid to choose a console version for achievements if you could be "maxing out" that game on PC - at that point achievements/trophies shouldn't matter. In my case, my PC is not maxing out anything. So I am not really making that choice. However at this point in the gen, I'm defintely saving some games for PC and skipping them on consoes - and that's going to be true whether they have achievements on PC or not.

lol no, it's quite fun to get platinum & sh!t, but that's not enough for me to get an inferior version.rjdofu

Not really, they do push me to play on harder difficulties and try challenges I wouldn't have before, even though i'm not that excited about my end overall achievement score.

So they're a good thing.

But other things make me decide the platform, primarily controls and genre. Like is it the sort of game i'd play on the PC, and that goes for consoles. Like I don't play adventure games and strategy games on a console, just seems daft to me.

Case in point, C&C 3 I chose the PC version.

nope. But it encourage me to play the games I buy a bit more.

lol no, I usually get them on PC and with multiplats that aren't on PC I usually get the PS3 (or WiiU right now) version.

Oh also btw steam has achievments as well. But I still only care about them for games I really like. I'll probably going to plat Ni No Kuni because I want to get everything out of it as an example

They did once... Not anymore.

I stopped seriously caring about achievements/trophies/whatever years ago. Now I get all my multiplats on the PC regardless. Lower prices, better performance. A win/win in my book. :)

They used to but the magic has worn off.

If they were actual digital checklists for completionists I would be a little more appreciative but so many of them require some really stupid tasks. 

Read the OP wrong, meh

Maybe you should have asked straightforwardly if people who onws both consoles choose which version they'll get based solely on what they'd rather get , trophies or achievements.Was that what you meant wasn't it?

If so , they do , they do because i have so few points on the 360 that i don't fell compelled to build them up , while one the ps3 i have 4k trophies , so i'd rather keep working on those , even if the multiplat is slightly "inferior" ,whereas i use my 360 for exclusives.

Achievements...The True Gimmick of 7th gen.

Yep. I buy all multiplats on my 360 to enjoy achievements. I had 360 since launch so I enjoy upping my gamerscore, I would love to get to 100K, hope it continues over next gen.

My friends list dictates what version of a game I'll be buying. Since a ton more of my PS3 list consists of real life friends and family I get all my mulitplats for that system.
