Sorry If Old, But Do Trophies Take More Skills Than Achievements?

I can hardly see how one takes more skill to get than the other... In the case of multiplats they're the exact same thing.

No, it takes the same amount of skill to watch the opening cutscene of GTA4 on both consoles. SilverChimera

Trophies and achievements do not reward skill. They reward playing the game for a long time.

Sorry if old, but they are the same stuff.

Depends, devs are more reluctant to put crazy intense trophies like getting 1 million kills because of the platinum, but the platinum on its own is an argument that tropheis require more skill since they require you fully get every trophy for the max points you can get from the game.

What are the differences between getting all the Achievements and Trophies of Batman Arkham Asylum, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and Castlevania Lords of Shadow?

I'll tell you.

THERE ARE NONE!

i think because most folks view san andreas as a much better game and gta4 was a letdown in comparison. It was still a great game, but for me it felt like a step backwards for the series.

I still think GTA4 was worth a 9.0 or maybe even 9.5 but 10 seems a little much.

Wel''s there's actually one: after getting all the trophies, you get an extra nice trophy ;)

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"] Indeed. Took me a few retries D:siLVURcross

Seeing as the achievements/trophies for each game are exactly the same, I'd say No it definitely doesn't take more skill to get either. But yeah the trophies do a better job at showing who actually completes 100% (before DLC trophies/achievements) of a game and who just gets bits of multiple games.

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"]Who's hating on it?djsifer01

Overrated yeah, but definitely not a piece of crap.

The only thing that disappointed me from that game is that R* seems to be losing the humour of previous GTAs, and RDR totally reinforces that even though I think it's a better game than GTAIV.

They don't "take" any more skill, as the subject line suggests, because they are, at least usually, the same thing. But, "reflect," they might as the harder ones do have different trophies than lower ones.

Either way, I hate them both. I liked older in-game rewards system, which usually came with new skins, modes, or mutators which made the games more fun to play. Now, every dev seems perfectly content to just include the achievements/trophies.

as far as "reflecting skill" i would agree trophy does that better. But as far as completing certain trophies/achievements, they are basically the same thing in that regards.

If 360 rewards you for unlock all of the achievements of a certain game (like platinum trophies), then they are the same.

They're identical, except Trophies gives your quick summary of the different types while Gamerscore is just a single sum of all your achievements,

nah. they're pretty much the same thing. you can more easily see if someone has a platinum trophy, though.

They are both the same, but I have to admit... I kind of like the sound of getting a trophy more... yes i said it, I like the SOUND of getting a trophy more... Oh snap! :oyoshi_64

[QUOTE="siLVURcross"][QUOTE="Joseph-425"] Why does everyone hate on GTA 4 I thought it was a great game deserving of its perfect score

djsifer01

No they both don't take skill.

Depends on the game.

I certainly lol'd. They are the exact same thing. 1000 points is a platinum trophy. You get either (in a game that isn't Avatar: The Last Airbender) and you can brag. The comparison should be between games, not platforms. Dead Rising is far more difficult to get 1000/1000 than say Mass Effect 2.

Sports and racing games usually have much easier achievements and trophies than RPGs do, they're attainable much faster as well. Gamers who play online also have a huge advantage over gamers who don't play online multiplayer games as well.

There are many factors to consider when looking at a posters gamercards, and judging them solely based off numbers alone is quite shallow.

This argument is hilarious to the point of sadness really we are not comparing how different systems tell you your great at a game:lol: The crazy thing is all you would have to do on live is the same thing that was implemented and improved upon on the PSN look at your friends games played and compare if you dont see 1000/1000 then that person didnt "complete" the game 100% but like champ said who really wants to slog through a game through different difficulty levels just to say i got 1000/1000 or i got platinum on x amount of games WHO CARES!!!!!

No. They're the exact same concept. Only difference is an extra symbol with trophies that showed that you got all the trophies in a particular game.

They're the same thing.

When it comes to exclusives.

Demons Soul's, SOCOM: Confrontation, etc. have time consuming or difficult trophies, meanwhile most Xbox exclusives have very easy and simple achievements. I don't blame them, it increases the sales because a lot of Xbox gamers are achievement whores. Three of my friends plan on getting Kinect because the games have achievements.

You get trophies for doing the exact same things you do to get achievements. Holy cow, people.
