People like high scores and people like pointless challenges that they are dared to complete. Plus, lots of trophies/achievements are awarded for unlocking stuff or progressing the game, so they serve as progression logs too.

Just press triangle on the trophy option and set it to offline mode so it won't sync every time you wanna check.

Yay old threads. :P Eh, achievements are useless too. So far, only "achievements" that seem to do any good are Steam achievements/trading cards since you can get little goodies or real money.

I like achievements because they encourage you to do extra challenges, get a bit more out of the game. I'm sure trophies are the same.

its the same with the 360... all pointless. There are a few games which do give 'rewards' for certain trophies... like street fighter 4 gave free tshirts/etc.. for HOME.. (yes i know, pathetic..) but still...

Honestly one can argue gaming itself is pointless. All that really matters is that you enjoy it.

they could give us something for trophies like exclusive avatars , contents etc. based on your player level

AmnesiaHaze

Exclusive avatars are pointless. It's just a picture that other people see when they look at your profile.

What's the point of any of this? Trophies and achievements are mostly pointless.

They're just a measure of how much you play.

lol so are achievments their both the same ,  the only difference one is a number the other is a trophy ,  

 

 they both do not allow you to spend them on anything on any store their just there for the bragging rights if you wanna call it that lol

I like the concept of Trophies (and Achievements), but it would be cool to see some type of rewards system in place. Actually, when I first bought a 360 I thought that gamerscore could be used as credits on the XBL Marketplace, lol. :P

I wonder if Sony will allow PS3 users to transfer their IDs to PS4, like MS is doing with X1?

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"]

so how come you don't call out 360 acheivements (which happened first before trophies), also its a dumb thing to complain about, they just come with the game you can just play the game and not care about trophies.

AmnesiaHaze

i own only a ps3 so i dont know how exactly xbox360 achievements work , and i dont care about the trophies because they are pointless atm , but its still worth a discussion imo

Totally of topic but love the sig!

Yes trophies/achievments should unlock content or give you some kind of credits which later you can redeem somewhere/somehow!

PS: lol @ people saying that trophi/achiev are indicators of your skills... they're simply indicators of your farming abilities! Only like a tiny % of them truly requires skills.

seriously , there is no real reason to get them except moving a progress bar and increasing a number in your player card , they could give us something for trophies like exclusive avatars , contents etc. based on your player level , what do you think ? is there currently any reason to get them except of obsession? what would you do to give trophies a real reason?

Thanks you captain obvious, I did not know that. :roll:

you live in a pointless world... isn't your life pointless? I mean what it's all about? In the end you die and nothing matters anymore! Why we struggle for our species to survive anyway? If tomorrow Earth would get destroyed... trust me nobody would even notice or care.

Of course nobody would care because there would be nobody alive too care. Until that happens let's indulge in what really matters, like the value of trophies et al/etc :P
