Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U won’t make Achievements Mandatory for all games.

I honestly don't give a rats ass about achievments. Nintendo doesn't need it when most of their games have plenty of replay value.

opportunity missed, simple as that

Yes! These achievement systems are dumb as hell.

But I fear some developers will include this in their games anyway.



Well I will no longer be buying one for a while. Wait until its cheaper. Its honestly a deal breaker for me



Good Ninty, focus on more important things.



Around the Network

hmm..

well, Nintendo needs to huddle up and rethink this whole thing because I WANT ACHIE... TROP... ACCOMPLISHMENTS(or whatever they are called)!



I think it is misstake. I mean I don´t care but there are people who do.



This is the perfect way to do it. Some games are built around the concept of achievements better than others, and nothing annoys me more than:

1) *Starts new file* = Achievement unlocked!
2) *Gets through tutorial* = Achievement unlocked!
3) *Gets to second level* = Achievement unlocked!

Those aren't achievements, they're ways for insecure gamers to feel better about themselves with bloated gamerscores. The other 99.99% of gamers don't give a crap about these stupidly placed achievements.

Just curious, but why would you fear that? If they added trophies/achievements to a game what is the big negative? I have never understood this sentiment.

 

Having them hurts nobody, meanwhile by not having them it could potentially turn people away.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I honestly could not care less.

If it means less annoying pop-ups during games then good.
