Do you care about Trophies and Achievements?

I like having a record of games I finished, but I gave up all of my trophies from the PS3 era because I didn't like my username. So it wasn't of supreme importance to me.

nah i don't really care, but i got 1 Platinum though.. from God of War 3

I'm too lazy to bother with achievements most of the time.

When they first came out I did, but after a month because I did not play online I disconnected my 360 from the net and never connected my PS3. So neither system shows my awards on them. Now both systems are long gone.

If I like the game I will go for 100%, even if it takes alot of grinding or challenge i will want to do it. (I used to do this BEFORE achievements, I would go for 100% in mario games, 100% in Grand Theft Auto, 100% in Metroid Prime, etc).

If the game is easy, and not painful to 100% I will go for it. Although I try not to subject myself to really bad games for the purposes of "trophies" or achievements.

If the game sucks AND requires any effort at all, then I don't care about trophies or achievements. I have a ton of games that I've 100% between my PS3 and 360 - but I've also walked away from plenty of games with single digit % completion just because the game was so bad or I just didn't really feel like it. I'm not all that obsessive about "completion" (especially when the trophies at times can be relatively pointless, and not really related to beating the actual game). I've have some people on my friends lists that obviously try to 100% *EVERY* game no matter how bad. That's just crazy to me. I don't care that much. I also almost never buy DLC just to try and keep up 100% completion - but I see people that not only 100% the regular game, but all of the DLC as well. Crazy.

I have a hard time believing those who don't care about trophies can even finish a game on the hardest difficulty.

I'm collecting trophies but would prefer them to just be rewards for finishing the game on hard. I hate collectibles and online trophies.

kids love trophys real gamers dont give ac rap

I have to have a real passion and joy for the video game. For example, Lately I've been playing minecraft and I LOVE it. (for Ps3) and since the game only has 29 trophies to get the plat I decided to go for it. So far I have 19 out of the 29 trophies. Technically I only have 9 more to go since the plat in the last one.

In other words they were actual achievements and not just something that happened without effort.

I don't need a trophy every time I reach a new chapter, I didn't do anything to deserve it. You shouldn't need a carrot on a stick to help keep me playing your game to the end, it should be good enough to do that itself

Not really but from time to time you see a trophy or achievement and think to yourself "I'm going to get that". So it does give some games some replay value but those are few and far between.

I've earned all but four of the Trophies for BF4 (excluding those for the China Rising expansion pack). One of them seems as if it's going to be nearly impossible to obtain; it requires that I deliver five bombs in the multiplayer game mode, Obliteration. Damn. That Platinum Trophy is so far, yet so close.

Use to but now they're just a measuring stick for how "dedicated" someone is during an online gaming session.

Ie.. If someone has 700-800 trophies/achievements ect.. in said game you're playing.. chances are they know their way around and can be an asset.

No.

Never did and never will.

My experience mirrors yours. I cared about them in the early days of the 360 but when I started playing on my PS3 I didn't care about them at all. However I've started up again. They are useful in getting more out of a game by giving you more to work towards. Just trying to get a platinum at the moment in AC IV. I only need to get a few multiplayer ones and I'm there.

It's a bit embarrassing how many games I have that are only about 10%.

I will do them sometimes. But I wouldn't die without them

I'm not 13, so no.

i like trophies, but for some reason i dont really care about the score. maybe its cuz i can see the trophy breakdown more clearly than scores. its nice to see the things you accomplished in games.

also i only trophy hunt for games i like, and i dont punish myself to get every platinum.

Not really and some achievements are just plain ridiculous.

That's the situation I'm in now with the PS4. I was automatically being logged into the old account with my old email on the PS3 not long ago, but logging out and trying to log in again with what I thought was the password is not working. Of course, it's linked to the email which doesn't exist anymore, so if I try to reset the password, the link they send gets sent to the old email (useless).

Did you try contacting MS? I sent Sony an email just to see if they can update that old profile to have my new email address associated to it, so I can reset the password, but I'm not optimistic. It's not a big deal though. At least I finished the games which were linked to that account, which wasn't many.

I'm not confident about buying digital. I've had other issues with the PS Store and also Steam, but at least Steam has some really good deals.

I used to... back when most achievements were for things that were mostly along the path of a game's story line. Now achievements are almost always for stupid things that make you go out of your way to get them. They really ruined the fun.

I ditched my xbox and 30000 achievement points and got a PS3 a couple years ago and have a whole 10 trophies I think. Most of them are from Resogun on my PS4.

Not really. Once in awhile I'll try and go out of my way to get them while playing

Not really. Still kind of fun to get one, though. They're stupid, but fun.

Yeah it's nice to see the achievement or trophy thing pop up when I play, but I don't care enough to get platinum trophies or go out of my way for really hard ones.

No not in the slightest, I kind of feel sorry for people going for trophies, to have a bunch of artificial goals instead of enjoying the game.

It might sound Cold, it not as though I dislike people WHO like achivements, I simply can not in any way understand that way of thinking.

once u got more than one ..... u want more ............ play the walking dead (guarantee 1 platinum once beat the game)

I used to always be a completionist. Finish the game on the hardest setting, get all collectables, see all endings, all characters max level, etc, were all things I did in games before this gen started so nothing really changed for me with the inclusion of achievements and trophies. Past few years that passion has really died out, due to less free time and too much of a backlog so now just finishing a game feels significant.

I enjoy getting trophies. I'll only go for a platinum if I really enjoy a game. It's kind of fulfilling knowing you 100% a game. I have 19 platinums, very close to Metro:LL and going to do Battlefield 4 and possibly ACIV also.

I don't care for them.

Nope. I just went to get from the start of the game to the end. In a way I think trophies and achievements take away from games.

I collect trophies that dont require a lot of time to waste, I would rather jump on playing the next game rather than collecting trophies

Yet, I sometimes judge the level of the other gamer by his trophies, When I see someone with 100 platinum trophy and with hard games like dead souls I know hes on another league than me.
