Default Video Games: Achievement/Trophy Discussion

How does everyone feel about the achievement/trophy systems on the newer systems? Do you like or dislike them? And why.

Also, what games, if any, do you have all of the achievements or trophies in?



There are reasons I like and dislike them.

I like them, because, if used correctly, can lead gamers to play in ways, or do things that, otherwise, they might not have. They're also great at showing your progress in games to friends, and even good for friendly competition.

I dislike them, because, some people see them as necessity. As in, some people will skip games altogether if they don't like the achievement/trophy lists, in fear of being unable to obtain them all. They'll also completely stop playing games they love if they have obtained them all (it's sad, but I've seen it happen).


I personally will play a game far after I get all of the achievements, if I enjoy it enough. And I will not power through a game I hate for the achievements.

88,408
