How important are trophies/achievements?
Posted 11-04-2009 at 11:16 AM by Timewarp
Like the title states, how important do you find trophies and achievements when playing a game, would you not buy a game if it didn't contain them? Since the start of the year sony's annoced that all games have to contain them so from now on every single meaningless game has to contain them.
I'm ok with that intill Uno comes with a set and you have to explain that pitifull 1% which actually might be considered an achievement in itself, in fact all terriable games should have a sony/microsfot forced on trophey/achievement which reads "CRAPVIEWER - Actually bothered to play this piece of turd"
Most of the time trophies are used to inspire us to play every part of the game but i find myself put off from playing it knowing i'll have to get 100% or fell bad about myself for being not good enough to get that all powefull platinum, at least MS has the decency to make the whole process rewarding.
Would you buy a game based on it's achievement/trophies list? And why?

I absolutely love achievements/trophies. I've gotten a ton of replayability out of games that I would have ditched long ago from them. I just wish that both systems had a function to delete games off your gamerscore/trophy list, that way could delete those pesky games you played once and have under 10% in.
