to get one of the legion of Merit medal trophy you need to get the following:

50 MVP awards, 5000 kills, 250 head-shots, 500 games on the winning side, plant the bomb 150, and capture 125 control points

and heres another trophy just to prove my point, to get a platinum trophy you need to get ALL the trophys, while achievements you can get any of the gamer-points at any time that i have seen

SOCOM's Trophies are ridiculous and I can only see myself getting about 4 or 5 of them. 15 consecutive kills without taking damage? Impossible.

One game does not prove anything.

If that was the case then FF XI on the 360 would be the ultimate game.

There is tons of PS3 games with very hard trophies and tons of 360 games with very hard achievements.

I can agree with that. But a lot of them are accumulative, meaning you have to do something X times before you get the trophies.

It's 100,000 actually, but that is a dedicated man who unlocks that achievement.

I never even attempted the platinum trophy in Warhawk, it looked too frustrating. The platinum Trophy in Resistance 2 looks straight forward, but it'll just take a very long time. There's one Trophy for killing 10,000 in ranked matches and after a month, I've barely killed 1,000.

Bingo /thread here.

A few I still have yet to get:

After contacting the rescue vehicle, no one takes any damage from then on.

Play through an entire campaign without having to heal once.

Plus some of the multiplayer ones are rather challenging, like pouncing 2 people in life as a hunter.

Any developer can set of any sort of pointless achievement or trophy if they want, however I'd much rather have challenges I can actually overcome without it basically "Congrats, you have no life to have completed this challenge, enjoy your virtual trophy."

But I meant 360 achievements, I know you can do that with trophies its a cool feature, and I wanted to know if the 360 has it.

Just play it on easy. Walk to witch, wait for the witch to stand up and give her a headshot. And left4dead achievement are not hard. Some of them just take some time, like killing 53,000 zombies. But i can imagine killing 10,000 players in Geow takes more time then killing 50k zombies. I mean, killing 5 zombies in left4dead is nothing, killing 1 player in geow takes some more time and skill :)

And achievements = about fun. If u r farming achievements then it aint fun, its just satisfying to get them all, but its not fun to do. Trust me, i;ve been there :) The platinum trophy, every game has it, so whats so special about it? 90% of all achievements are boring, same goes for trophies i think. Only game i played with enjoyable achievements = left4dead and dead rising (zombies ftw).

to get one of the legion of Merit medal trophy you need to get the following:

50 MVP awards, 5000 kills, 250 head-shots, 500 games on the winning side, plant the bomb 150, and capture 125 control points

and heres another trophy just to prove my point, to get a platinum trophy you need to get ALL the trophys, while achievements you can get any of the gamer-points at any time that i have seen

ps3_owns_360Wii
no

Gears 1 10,000 kills online
Pdz 1000 kills in tk killcount
Gears 2 100,000 kills in any game mode
Pgr4 get all platnium medals even on the platnium plus challenges

and I can go on srry but since every 360 game has achievements you know your going to find hard ones than trpohies but both are great systems

Eh... People could show you one achievement from specific games and make achievements look extremely difficult too... -_- Also, you just look at someone's Gamertag, and if they all only have 300/1000, well that's the same as only having Bronze trophies basically. :S

100? Christ, I'm lucky if I can get more than 30-40 kills in a ranked game.

Exactly, platinum trophies are just like those cheap achievements you get in some games just for getting all the other achievements. Boy, who'd have thought after all the achievement bashing from cows 2005 onwards that they'd now be praising the exact same concept, and even going as far as calling their "version" better than Microsofts :roll:
