whats the differences between PSN trophies and LIVE achievements?

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

You forgot that PS3 Trophies have been offering Home items and outfits, as well as Themes and pics when you unlock certain trophies in certain games, just to let you know. I would know, I have about 2500+ Trophies, and 100,000+ Gamerscore, so I know all there is to know about these things. The game I got avatar stuff was L4D2, which was cool...but yeah, Home outfits were available before any of that.

All that hard work I did just for SW :P ...and I have to admit, SW is the most fun place to let folks know about it.

Plus I have 100,000 Gamerscore and 2500+ trophies, I have to tell someone. :lol:

No really, it's just lols on my end. I just love threads about this topic, it's my time to shine. :P

The thing is though is that you've had 100,000 gamerscore for ages. I remember last summer (roughly) you had about 93,000 GP. In the time since you've only gotten 7,000 GP. That's very little points, especially compared to how many you had. At one point you even went months without playing any 360 games. Your gamercard just showed that the last game you played was C&C. IMO, this all means that you've been playing PS3 far more and are naturally more biased towards it. I wouldn't mind that so much exceptthat you put this facade on to cover it. You claim you're a completly neutral gamer who just wants to enjoy gaming but so many times I've seen fanboy poke it's head out. Just admit it already.

Actually, I have more than 100,000, lol, hence the 100,0000 +. Secondly, I don't get Gamerscore for maxed out gamerscore games I play all the time on LIVE like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter, GeoW2, etc...so when I play those games and more, my score is not going to move up. lol. I have been playing the Halo Reach Beta, but since I don't get Gamerscore I better watch out for guys looking at my wonderful score. I also have a Wii, a different 360 account, and a PS3 to enjoy, lol. :lol:

Call me when you get a high gamerscore and high PSN account. I love your 124 trophies.:roll: BTW, my gamercard is on private, so you have no idea what I've recently played, however, I do play C&C with friends all the time. But I don't get gamerscore for that...uh oh. I shouldn't play my game collection because my gamerscore is being spyed on?;)

As far as admitting anything, all I see in these threads about gamerscore is jealous 360 fans that get angry at my awesomeness. Get on my posts when you detect whatever it is you are trying to detect. Your post above just jumps aggressively at me for being awesome. That's what I see. What about my post above was wrong? Nothing, so you made it personal. The anger I see here in SW is usually guys that either have no PS3, or hardly use their PS3 with almost no trophies and over 10,000 Gamerscore, or just angry gamers that want to knock me down a peg because it's SW or whatever...whereas I have a giant Gamerscore they cry at due to my awesomeness. I have a level 18 PSN account due to awesomeness. True story. This isn't the first thread filled with wonderful spies that try so hard. :P

What I have accomplished with both my accounts no one in SW has done with both, and there is no problems with me strutting my stuff in a thread about that topic. What's the problem? It's jealousy, I know it. Go ahead and roll the eyes, but that's what I see. Haters are going to hate, drinking some haterade.

I am an active 360 gamer as I pay for Xbox Live GOLD since the beginning (Xbox days), and I'm not letting my gold go to waste...besides, I have a real life to worry about in addition to gaming no matter how hard you spy.

I guess I can't play Street Fighter now, since I get no more gamerscore for it in MP matches...:( What am I to do? Let my 360 game collection rot because it doesn't get me any gamerscore?
Can I help it if my friends challenge me to a PS3 or Wii game? Oh no! That means no Gamerscore! But what about the Xbox spys? I guess they will be unhappy.:(

I play MGS4, MvC2, and Street Fighter games on PS3 from time to time as well, and I get no Trophies from those either...Maybe I shouldn't play my PS3 games now? I get no Trophies?:( Oh No!

My cousin has had a 360 since 2005 like me, and guess what, his gamerscore is almost at 19.000...I guess he doesn't play the 360 as much as you'd assume...but you'd be wrong. He has that thing on almost every day, but he loves certain games and gets no gamerscore for playing the games he loves, Halo 3, GeoW, GeoW2, COD, etc. He has those games maxed, but keeps playing them. He is going to be sad when I tell him what that means.

Also, When I got 3 RROD's and E74 once, I couldn't play my 360...does that mean I should report that to you? When My 360 went down?

You need to keep in mind I have other consoles to play, friends to compete with on a variety of consoles/PC, and a life to live.;)

Damn solid you just layed down some royal ownage there.

Damn Solid you just layed down some royal ownage there.

Oui, I didn't ask for it, mon ami, but I would agree. I would say it's royal alright, King of SW royal. :P

I still don't know what even prompted such aggression as a response. I noticed it was personal and had nothing to do with my posts above...hmmm...

Reminds me of when I play B-Ball at the park, people get mad when I show up. :P

To me their pretty much the same, but I like trophies a little more though due to the distinction between easy to get trophies and the ones that are a little more difficult. The thing I dislike about trophies is level increases don't make much sense. I can have maybe 7-8 more golds and 10-15 more silvers than another person but they'll be at lvl 9.

hmm good responses and solidty damn do you play all of the games for trophies? :P add me on PSN ;) and if your going to buy RDR on PS3 we can make a posse?

PSN : ismo2008 and btw if you wanna play some MGS just pm me trough psn ;)

They're the same, useless. I miss when games had their own in game rewards system that unlocked skins, modes, cheats, objects.weapons.

They are pretty much the same imo.

Cool when they show up, but I never look at what the achievments or trophies are, I just play the game to enjoy the game and if I get any trophies or achievments on the way thats cool

Well, the games I buy to own, I plan on keeping because I want to continue to play them. The games I borrow or rent, I will play for trophies just due to a buddy racing me on whatever game. For instance, Star Wars : The Force Unleashed on 360 we raced, and later again, Star Wars : TFU on PS3 with Trophies, just for fun. I don't own that game on PS3 just on 360, so I borrowed the PS3 version to race him. We raced to see who could get the first 1000 on 360, and later who could get the first Platinum on PS3 version of SW:TFU. I do own a lot of games though, from Bayonetta 360, to Street Fighter 4 360 & PS3, to Uncharted, to Uncharted 2, to InFamous, to two copies of Halo 3 To two copies of GeoW 1 & 2, to two copies of even Warhawk. I have two PS3's and two 360's, so I do like to LAN it up with buddies or BBQ's I have.

That being said, I have played so many games this gen on PC/Wii/PS3/DS/PSP that got me no trophies/achievements because they are awesome...like you said, MGS4. :P

I will try to send you an invite on PSN this week, I do have Red Dead reserved, but I haven't picked up yet. I'm a bit backlogged on so many fun games these days.:)

Pug-Nasty

Some still do.

They're pretty much the same. I'm going to laugh and feel sad at the same time for those who really care for them if these Achievements and Trophies don't carry over anything by next gen. If they don't, ah well it was fun when it lasted.

Very few unfortunately. One of the reasons Naughty Dog is still, um, top dog? All their games have tons of unlockables. I also go nuts when people cry for trophies in MGS4, that game has tons of unlocks and special items, those take a lot more work that a trophy.

i hear people fight about such things. I mean whats the big difference? i just earn Achievements/Trophies just for fun, i dont care about platinum or such i just want to make different challenges for fun so i can play longer... im gonna make a poll and go ahead and tell us what do you think about Achiev/Trophies

Good Day

Trophies and Move have something in common. They are both TOTALLY ORIGINAL rip-offs from other companies! YAY SONY!

It's been my belief since the beginning of this generation that this is probably going to happen for a variety of reasons, so I'm prepared for that future.

It was fun while it lasted.

Do you have RDR for PS3? :P if so man we should make a posse and own some ass xD

I prefer achievements because they have been standard with every game since launch, you don't have to sync them every time you earn new ones and lastly because they are laid out better on screen.Anjunaddict
