Trophies vs. Achievements: Which is more addictive?

What say you, System Wars? Do you like amassing a large number of points, or do you like to see your overall level rise? Which of the two do you find more addicting?

They're practically the same thing.

Trophies. Because it shows how many games you completed. (Platinum trophies) Also, it breaks it down into categories, like how many hard ones you get (gold) medium (silver) and bronze (easy). It also has a level system. sethman410

I second this statement, why have a boring old number when you can have nice, shiny, nearly sorted, and multicoloured trophies! When I look at something like 5000 Gamerscore, I just go "..oh, that's big. Right? Is it?". But when you look at a giant, great looking, blue trophy; you go "WOAH! Nice job man!" same with a Gold one. It's human nature to like shiny things, Gamerscore is for aliens. Non-human aliens.

There isn't much discussion if you put it like that.

well to be fair, trophies came out after acheivements, so it's not really fair

Screw them both lol. I used to care a bit, but its just lame.

PS - do I need massive achievement bubbles popping up when i am playing Mass Effect 2 (PC)? SO ANNOYING!

Bleep Bloop.

Trophies are the most blatant rip-off of this whole generation.

achievments, i dont really care about trophies. they dont feel good and it is a slow process to view and compare gamertag with freinds on the ps3.

Trophies by far, I'd rather win a golden trophy than fricken 50 gamerscore :lol:

Although XBL has achievements implemented better (every game has them) you just can't really compare achievements to trophies

They're practically the same thing.

They both suck and are a cheap way to extend a game without adding much fun.

I don't like either, so to this day I avoid getting any achievements or trophies.

kidding they are fine.

Both are equally useless and unimportant.

Oh yeah, well you're on to me. :P

I find them to be equally addictive; I always enjoy the extra challenge of obtaining as many as I can get for each game. How they are presented is irrelevant, since I'm sure no one cares how many trophies / achievements I actually have. =)

Trophies are better they sometimes give you Playstation Home stuff

Achievements give you nothing

Achievements give you nothing

Almost the same, except I like the sound and the way achievements are presented on screen as they are unlocked. For that sole reason, I choose achievements.

I had no idea there was a major difference between them. Sony pretty much ripped off the whole acheivement system and slapped a pretty gold label on it. I love watching cows scream how its better because its "TeH G0ld MeDAL" and what not.

I wish that they both didn't exist. Rather there should just be system that focused on games that you've completed and at what difficult.

In that regard, trophies breakdown things better. Looking at gamer points, you don't get a good idea of what a person has actually done un less you go in and check the progress and then what they got the points from..

With trophies, you can generally tell whether someone is actually beating their games based on gold and silver trophies.

Cows will pick trophies, Lems will pick Achievements, and no-one else cares.

erm ofcourse not, i have 3 PS3s instead

They are the same thing so I don't care.

I personally find trophies more addictive. I'm so obsessed with getting every trophy for all my games (well I have to atleast enjoy the game though) to get that damn platinum.

Now, I don't have a PS3 so I wouldn't know much about trophies but I think that platinums alone are enough to beat achievements, especially when the 100% completion is screwed up by DLC I will never get...EzekyleAbadon
