I go in and out. There are breif stretches of time where I am a complete achievement whore, and others where I am like, **** that **** no way am I wasting time for a measly 20 points. I wish more games had trophies, but I think most of the upcoming releases will.

Love em.

  • They often have me attempt things I normally wouldn't have even tried.
  • They act as a set of side quests, expanding the amount of life a title can have.

i like achievements, but i dont seek out a game for them, i get them if doing them sounds fun.

ex: i havent gotten "overkill" yet, but i try for it, and it keeps lone wolves even more frantic

Not really, the only time i really try for achievments is if they unlock content or if i really love the game (Oblivion for e.g).

I like to collect both trophies and acheivements. Right now I'm conflicted on which version of Dead Space to get, because the PS3 version has trophies.

What do you care more about, your trophy count or your gamerscore. Also, which controller do you like better. That is usuall my process on multiplats when no online is involed. (Online=LIVE>PSN IMO)

Yes I personally like them, but I don't see why anyone would have a reason to actually dislike them. Achievements and gamer score are kind of like high scores in an arcade game.

well i dont own a ps3, but I own a 360. It's all about implementation.

The game really has to be fun in the first place. Stupid stuff like find 3 crows is dumb.

But stuff like play through the last level of halo 3 on legendary with the iron skull on and finish all in ghosts is flipping awesome. Just did they yesterday. Worth a grand total of 0 GS. It's about unlocking it, not the score from it.

Ummmm you don't get any money for your achievements, sorry to break it to ya. I don't really care for the most part. I feel really good when I kick ass in a game and get a really hard to get achievement/trophy, but that is about it. Most of them aren't set at those points. I really don't underand the people that will go way out of their way to get a meaningless achievement to pad thier gs.

It makes me think of this kid: http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/4/4a/Xbawks.jpg

Yes, I do, especially if they are done right with creativity behind them. Halflife 2 is a good example.

I like them both. Anyone who says one is better then the other are just fanboys plain and simple. Since they are the same exact thing. Execpt one is number and the other is levels.

I dont get why they like to unlock them there. Not trying to hate on valve, but they didn't exactly implement them correctly. They seem to be more like useless unlocks than useless achievements.

I know it sounds dumb, but it's the truth. Maybe i feel achievements should be reserved to consoles?

Well, the unloackable weapons sure as hell aren't useless. I love my Blutsauger, Ubersaw, and Sandvich. But I hate when people achievement farm when I'm trying to play.

"NO DAMNIT I WON'T LET YOU SHOOT ME 20 TIMES IN A ROW!"

I do wish the weapons weren't achievement based, though.

...you're kidding me...

Not at the achievement thing, I don't mind if the game has them, I just won't bother trying to get them. But GfWL is one of the worst, if not the worst, online programs to ever set foot on this (cyber) Earth.

What's the point when I know there will always be someone out there with more trophies then me? I have I think 36 trophies, and from this point on if I get anymore it won't be because I tried but because I happen to recieve one.

More like their too hard for you and you can't even score 2 million or correctly toss a mine. Let me guess you only bought a PS3 to help vindicate your haterd and rants for all things PS3. Oh and weren't you the cheater who was excited about a glitch in the pub games. Saying I'm going too have a million dollars day one so I can buy all the cool gear and weapons on day one. Thumbs up man way too ruin a game.

As for achievement's/trophies I enjoy them as long as there not dumb like stay on a roof for four hours.

I bought a PS3 mainly for a blu ray player, but I stopped buying blu rays. Also yes I have pub game character that has a redonkalous amount of gold, another character that gain gold legit, and a character that's in serious debt. All characters will have consequences and will affect the world in Fable 2. Nothing's ruin.

Now that I thought about it, it's not just the goals for PAIN trophies but more like PAIN itself, it's not that engaging. But oh well, I got PAIN for free and the Pub Games free with pre-order.

That doesint make no sense what so ever. Its the same dam thing. Its not the trophies faulgt that you cant get them. The devs make the goal you need to get. Thats like me saying achivements suck cause I cant some in certain games. You just sounded like a fanboy period. Which I think you are.

The disparity I see between the two reward systems is the lack of support for the trophies. I see that as an opportunity that Sony has missed with some games, most notably MGS4. With all the things you can do in that game, and all the end-of-game stats and emblems you can earn, not patching in trophies would be criminal. :P There is nothing preventing them from being done in creative ways like certain 360 games' acheivements.

They are pretty neat. I just want Sony to make trophies mandatory which is rumoured to happen soon. They are pretty much the same thing, I don't really understand how someone can prefer one to the other.

I like both, PS3 trophies are good but its annoying the way you have to buy add-on packs to get 100% on some games
