Achievements arent that great. Instead of just beating a boss midway through a game..now you get a notice letting you know you beat a boss mid-game and get 200 points for it. As it currently stands theyre pretty pointless to be honest.

I like leaderboards for single games, because a score for all the games you play doesn't really say much about a person's skill.

Sony should just take the idea really.

I don't view them as "pointless", in fact I view them as a stepping stone to much greater things. If you could mix the Nintendo Mii with the concept of achievements acting as a form of currency, you would essentially end up with a gamer tag being a actual object (Mii) that you could customize based on how much currency (achievement points) you have (hell some achievements could act as a customization your "Mii" themselves).

Imagine the amount of lives that would be lost so that people could put gold chains and diamonds on their Mii's...

Achievments aren't really that big of a deal. They're really just another way for elitests to try and show off.

They'll probably take the idea and change it around a little eventually.

I don't think it's a fantastic system but I don't think it's pointless either.

I don't use them for that purpose at all. I use them as a side quest, something I can obtain in my completionist way of gaming.

thats your rebuttal to the FACT that Achievement points do diddly squat for everyone except the uber nerd who toots his own horn to others on XBL with his headset? If they actually did SOMETHING i wouldnt be so negative. They do NOTHING at the moment. Why are they used in arguments as this end all online great feature? It doesnt mean you are a better gamer because you have more points...if anything it just means you play more. Thus deeming you a hermit.  Its a bragging tool for the hardcore gamers

you will fully understand that 4 years from now when everything materializes,lets say they got some tricks up there sleaves



Wow...you cant tell me the advantage of them in present tense? Which is what im discussing in this entire thread.  4 years time lol....yeah well, in 4 years Sony will put out a ton of firmware updates and updates to PSN too...whats your point?  The fact of the matter is...360 has been around for over a year, and Achievement points are still currently nothing useful.  I'm not saying they wont use them in some way in the future.  But theyre currently pointless.

[QUOTE="Uptown"]Achievements arent that great. Instead of just beating a boss midway through a game..now you get a notice letting you know you beat a boss mid-game and get 200 points for it. As it currently stands theyre pretty pointless to be honest. Uptown

I smell damage control



How? What damage control exactly? I own a 360.....Achievement points never did anything for me. Cool I unlocked an achievement...now what? Thats how I feel when I see the Achievement Unlocked Popup.

that is the attitude to have...not

it is the attitude to have, the points don't mean squat

negative attitudes FTL



thats your rebuttal to the FACT that Achievement points do diddly squat for everyone except the uber nerd who toots his own horn to others on XBL with his headset? If they actually did SOMETHING i wouldnt be so negative. They do NOTHING at the moment. Why are they used in arguments as this end all online great feature? It doesnt mean you are a better gamer because you have more points...if anything it just means you play more. Thus deeming you a hermit. Its a bragging tool for the hardcore gamers

that is a bunk argument



if its so bunk...tell me the advantage to having Achievement Points?

I am not saying it will take 4 years,calm down...what I am saying is they wanted to see how it would take first,now they are starting the contests and stuff...I am saying see what you say of it after time

So basically your saying you don't know. They literally don't mean sh*t for anything except to the egos of elitists.

They add a lot of replay value, they may appear useless at first, but soon u'll realize u may want to get [insert here] achievement, and do some things that were useless for u (well for me) like beating a game in hardest dificulty.
