Do you care about trophies/achievements? (games)

[J is Thunder Justice]

I like being 'rewarded' for completing a tough part in a game, and it's fun trying to collect as many as I can, but I don't obsess over them. Like, I don't have a single platinum, because I usually get bored trying to get one, and I won't torture myself over it.

I'm not bitter, I just don't care about getting a platinum trophy, ok!?

Anyway, how about you?

[xCompackx]

I only really care if they have a clever/funny name or something. I don't have the patience or time to go for every single one in a game though.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Not especially, no. I've only ever thousand gamer scored one game(Elder Scrolls: Oblivion), and really, I'm just not that bothered, ESPECIALLY if the achievements are multi-player dependent.

I hate the trophy system compared to the trophy system. The fact all the points go to the same place gives me more pleasure.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

Earlier in this generation I was obsessed with Achievements. Every time I heard that *blip* I was filled with joy.

That said now I'm not that obsessed. I try to get as many Trophies as I can when playing a game, but that's it.

The only thing that irks me is that I've yet to gain a Platinum Trophy. It looks like The Walking Dead will be my first one, and that's kind of cheating, imo, as all the Trophies you get for literally playing the game, so essentially I'm buying my first Platinum Trophy........

I'm not opposed to having them around, can make for a nice sense of accomplishment, but there is a reason there isn't a single game I have every achievement for.

I'm not really obsessed with, but I do try to sometimes to get every trophy if it's not too hard. In God of War 1 on the God of War Collection I have every trophy except two. Those last two were too hard for me so I just said forget it and left the game alone after that.

I think it's prety cool, but I don't obssess over them... but I do have like 3 games at 1000.

X-men Destiny, WWE 10, and Dynasty Warrior Empire 6 and that's mainly because they were easy to get.

[Ryanar]

Im bipolar about Cheevos and Trophies. Sometimes i'll go through the game and not care about them. But if its a game i truly love and have a strong passion for I at least try to get every achievement.

So far i've retailed (Hunter slang for every achievement unlocked)
SvR 2010
Skate 2- That multiplayer achievement was a pain
Battlefield 1943- got every achievement in one night
Pacman Championship Edition DX- One lf the funnest retails
NFS:Most Wanted- Just beat the game, every cheevo is a blacklist member
Sonic The Hedgehog 3
Skate 3- including all the DLC trophies

I'm a PS3 guy and, while I think trophies are cool and I wouldn't go super out-of-my-way to unlock everything, I flatout adore the "Achievement" sound. Such a pleasant tone, it immediately makes me happy.

[Derk!]

They're cool. But I don't go out of my way to get them.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

I don't really care. I never go out of my way for them. I'd rather have them than not, though. They can be fun "excuses" to play through a game again.

[The Sam]

They're ok.

Achievement Unlocked: "Post-man". Posted in this thread.

Hey alright

[StuntGranny®]

Honestly, unless it's a sports game, I don't care about them. They give a bit more replay value to sports game, I think.

Depends on the game. Like a guy said earlier, gives you a reason to play a game you haven't tried in awhile. There's still a couple in Beautiful Katamari I haven't gotten. I'm working on a few for the You Don't Know Jack game.

I got everything you can get in Mario Kart Wii. That's easy when you like the game. I can play that anytime. (I just got Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing, which is just as fun.)

I don't care about the on-line ones.

[Cyno]

I only really care about them in World of Warcraft, since the achievements there actually award things like titles, mounts, pets, tabards, and neat things for your guild. Otherwise I can take or leave them, though they can be a fun tool to play the game in a specifically different way than what I'm used to. And some 360 games like the original Mass Effect do give you nice perks for achievements, too.

[Krimzon]

When it comes to trophies, I'm like the Ryback: GIVE ME MOAR! I don't even like to buy a game if it doesn't have trophy support.

[The Ichi]

Me and a certain friend are rather competitive with eachother so if I see she's played a game I'm playing I'll try to beat her gamescore.

[Citizen Snips]

I think it's a fun little addition to a game most of the time. I especially like the ones you get for doing some random little feat that you're not really focusing on; for example, "surfing" through X amount of gates in Journey. I was just doing it for fun and *Jingle* got a trophy to boot!

The only trophy that ever irked me was in The Amazing Spider-Man you'd get a Bronze for collecting all 700 comic pages. C'mon now. Bronze?

[Kevin Hamilton]

Not at all. Like if you can collect 'em over the course of going about the adventure- cool; but for me once the story's done, I'm done.
