It's the same reason why people care about gamerscore or their level here on gamespot. It's a way to let the people around the world know how wonderful you are. (haha)

Well, it gives more replay value to many games. Some are very difficult and give you a sort of pride/bragging rights.

Ok ok here is what it's for. Ever go into the restroom take a wizz...then a guy comes up and takes a wiz in the urinal next to you...then you look at his thing and compare it to yours and laugh?

That's what trophies are for!

Exactly,...wait what?

Most developers don't have the trophies unlock anything because most people don't care if it unlocks anything or not. Trophies in Infamous should have added stuff like invincibility and unlimited hovering powers but nope, all we get is a "Ding"!

Gives gamers a goal. The old "I bet you can't do this!"

The lil trophy is your, "Yes I can!"

whats the point of achievements in the xbox 360. same thing. virtual items to collect, for some bragging rights to others. some people (like myself) just think its fun collecting them.

To beat your chest and make you feel like you accomplished something. To give a reason to explore content you might not normally explore. To compete with Microsoft. To add replay. To add challenge (in some cases) annnnd to appeal to a different consumer base that would buy games for the sole purpose of collecting them. To give you an idea about a players progress in a game. Lastly, to give people a reaon to post something on the forums.

perhaps for some people, trophies are accomplishment. perhaps for other people , trophies are ego.

Hmm, maybe so other players can see how geek you are on games lol. Apart from that it'd be when accepting other people to enter ur game online, like choosing someone more experienced to not ruin the game, though i doubt much people would do that. Anyways for me its pretty much useless since i get bored of most games before going after a platinum >.>.

I think that the question of the topic creator is more like: What's the point of scores in games in general?

You never played Pacman or Galaga? lol
