Thread of Achievements and Trophies

[AgentLampshade]

Personally, I don't play games to collect every feather, every flag, every INSERT COLLECTIBLE HERE, I don't enjoy doing that. If I were to 100% something, it would have to be interesting content, like side missions or something.

I used to get all the "collectables" in every game before achievements were even invented. Nowadays I just get a little extra bonus when I do.

I will only do collectables if they tell me when they are near by on the mini map or whatever. Like inFamous 2 did.

I like the idea of trophies. It gives you something to do once you've completed a game.

It's not like they're hurting anyone...

That's exactly my point.. they really don't mean or do anything. Like if I unlocked an achievement and got something in the game for doing so, I'd be on board...

It's a vicious to me, I try to unlock every single achievement in any games. I have 41 Xbox 360 games (counting retail and arcade games) and so far I have 18 completed games.

No Platinums yet, but I have a fair few complete 360 Titles, including both Left 4 Dead's, Viva Pinata, South Park LGTD, Oblivion, and some others that slip my memory.

With "complete" you mean "I have completed the game, from the beginning until the credits screen"? For me, the term "I complete that game" makes me thing you got all the trophies/achievements.

And HEY!!!! Do you have South Park Tenorman's Revenge? Well I have both South Park XBLAs, we should play sometime.

Before the Sony hack and PSN outage, Sony was going to use the trophy system as a kind of currency in the PS Store. Since the hack they haven't mentioned it, so the idea may be brought back up at some point.

When you platinum a game on PS3 you should get some kind of special avatar for your PSN profile.

Actually back with my friends we devised an achievement system for a game where achievements would act like perks like in Fallout. That never panned out...
