Trophies: An In Depth Look

ape007 - 445 days ago

for me,I think trophies are better than achievements,for many reasons

1- the leveling system,this system is just pure addictive,each level you pass requires you more trophies to pass to another

2- bronze,silver,gold,and platinum seems both fresh and hardcore,cheap a$$ players will get mostly bronze and some silver,while the crazy gamers have lots of bronze,gold,silver and one or two platinum,I know cheap a$$ gamers on live have a lot of games,only finishing half of them and here you go he has like 15000 gs,you see I have like 10000 gs and I beat halo3,gears,cod4,bioshock,tfu on HARDEST DIFFICULTY,just because he have more games he just beat me,on live there's no real qualty achievement like psn,gold and platinum ftw,I hope you get it

3- quality and quantity the games themselves,what's better to have in your collection,gears,cod4,gta 4,halo3,crackdown,saints row and some games are great to have but what about the rest,most games are crappy(sorry 360 fans),so you see it's not cool to collect achievements from bad games,just brows live and look for high achievements,in ps3 your trophy list is full of classics.mgs4,gow3,uncharted,u ncharted2,lbp,r2,killzone 2,warhawk,eden star dust,motor storm:pacific rift and more and they are all different geners,so you truly feel like you are a legend,not 90% of achievements only fps games,I hope you get it.

I hope you guys understand that this isnt a console specific thing. i mean i focus on ps3 cause thats what my site is about, but its about award systems and the way that they , along with the gaming industry change the way we play. Thanks for reading though and i hope you enjoyed

This discussion has been beat to death when Achievements came out 2 years ago. Late to the party and since Trophies are so piss poor supported on the ps3 I dont think they make much difference. if you ask the fanboys at turd HQ here they would say achievements are stupid and play games for fun not for worthless points.

times sure do change.

Thanks Very much cbaoth, i agree tenfold, in a world where online multiplayer has begun to dominate, trophies/acheivements can sometimes be the only thing to draw people to a games single player campaign. Cheers
