Trophies or Achievements or None of them?

[QUOTE="Mystery_Writer"]

I think they should allow the choice for users or developers to disable achievements (for instance to introduce in-game cheat codes, etc..).

This.

You can also turn off notifications if they bother you.

Trophies

I don't have preference. I like Steam achievements the most than Trophies. Don't really care for them but I understand how they add replay value to games.

Ya..I wish this single player cheating option (while disabling achievements) somehow to be more common than an exception.

On PC, you could download mods to remove certain annoying aspect of a game (e.g. items carrying limit in skyrm, doom 3 flashlight, etc..).

Maybe some sort of Steam Workshop solution but for consoles, might be the answer here.

I remember playing MGS3 and hating every minute of the chore of having to constantly keep feeding Snake or his super hypoglycimic stamina would drop to 0.

I dusted off my Gameshark and instantly the game turned into one of my favorites PS2 games after removing that annoying aspect off of it.

Same thing with X360's Lost Planet, the game was really entertaining had there not been this annoying thermal energy depletion that forces you to rush every mission.

I stopped playing it on X360 and bought it on PC when it came out and ran a trainer that removed that stupid thermal energy aspect off of the game.

[QUOTE="DerveCreaves"] The Xbox copied Sony's Poket Station system and put it in software withing the system instead. MS took it and PS3 used the idea of putting it in the system but used an updated version of the pocket station. MS always copies Sony because they have no original idea. Add that acheivements are worthless numbers and that rphies show actual skill level, and platniums are gotten from being hardcore and getting everything. Add in the PSN reqward you can get onc ertain Sony certified sites and some competitions and bam. Trophies actually reward you.DerveCreaves

Yes but they still have the same concept

Trophies... Arbitrary numbers are less satisfying than arbitrary symbols for some odd reason...

I'm more intoAchievements.

If I had to choose, I think "platting" is cooler than "getting every achievement" I think it's more prestigious, kinda says you're a hardcore gamer that you platted the game.

I am a fan of the shiny Plat. But really they both accoplish the same thing... giviing you devices and challenges to extend the life of your favorite games.

trophies.

Don't really have a preference.

I like the cheevos more cause every 360 game has them(except indie) and the cheevos from GWFL all link up with my XBL account.

Same exact concept. Only difference is that PS3 adds an "extra" one that says you unlocked all the others. I like them overall though. Adds some nice replay value to games.

Trophies, but only by a little.

Trophies. Both are the same thing though. I prefer how trophies are presented better with different colour trophies which represents the level of the achievement. And especially when the platinum trophy is unlock which is gratifying. I choose that over the arbitrary numbers.

Trophies since its nice to see the level of difficulty of the challenge you performed visually.

I don't really care for either.
