Not pointless at all. I wouldn't have to turn them off if they weren't off-putting, spoonfed shite.

If you can't be bothered to go to your system settings and turn them off if they bother you so much, I don't know what else to say man.

I hate trophies and achievements, they actually detract from the experience for me.

First off, it's distracting. Completely pulls me out of the game when an ugly out-of-place notification pops up in the middle of a game.

Plus it's patronizing. It treats me like I'm a three-year old getting pats on the head every time I do something right. "Oh, you beat that boss you HAD TO BEAT ANYWAY? ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!" "Oh, you killed x number of generic goons? YOU GOT A TROPHY!" I don't need to be spoonfed, thanks.

They're one of the most worthless gimmicks to come out of the 7th gen.

I hope Nintendo never makes an equivalent, or if they do, that they can be turned off.

You can turn off trophy notifications, so your entire comment is pointless.

Not pointless at all. I wouldn't have to turn them off if they weren't off-putting, spoonfed shite.

There are achievements and trophies in specific games as well.

I'm playing Xenoblade right now and I get notifications all the time for doing random stuff like jumping in the water from 200 m high or by selling an item to a Nopon merchant.

It's your perception of it that has to change.

I do have them turned off. But the reason I turn them off is because I think they are a negative.

Nope, you're mistaken.  Nobody cares about trophies.  

Seriously though, I know exactly what you mean.  Even if I like a game, I feel empty almost if it doesn't have any trophies.  

Yeah thats the feeling I get, and I dont even like them anymore. It just to be fun to battle with my friends over who had the most trophies but then I started playing games I didnt even care about just to whore them. I just miss the old days where I would try and have the perfect SAVE not the perfect trophy list.

Those are bad too, though they tend to be a bit less out of place.

No, I do not have to change.

That's exactly why the option is there lol.

For which I am thankful.

I'm still entitled to my opinion of them though. Nobody's forcing me to eat olives but I'm still allowed to dislike them. ;)

If you get aggravated by a simple trophy notification and feel patronized by it then yes, there's something you have to change about your perception of things.

No, I don't. I can just turn them off, thank God.
