Forums - Gaming Discussion - Achievements vs Trophies

Umm... They're both the exact same thing, as far as worth and all tht (bronze is low point, platinum is high points...), but the achievements are far better implemented. Only three of my PS3 games give achievements (I guess some of the older ones may have retroactively gotten them, but I don't see myself playing Heavenly Sword again any time soon...), whereas every 360 game has them, they are easier to review and the score is an immediate indicaator and constant presence. Trophies need a lot of work.

I like the trophies more because just the platinum trophy looks better than 1000 points or whatever



TROPHIES!!!!!!!LOL....nah I think both are awsome it's just a matter of opinion on which ever one you find more pleasing.



achievements, but i might be the only guy that likes the sound of trophies better- but thats because i keep hearing the same sound as the achievement one when a friend goes online or if my controller disconnects.



 

 

 

 

I own both and from launch, too. I have always been very casual with achievment points, but when SONY added 4 medals with the ability to get the very hard platinum it got me very hooked.

Both are almost the same. the main difference is the levels with the PS3 and the platinum. To get a platinum at the end of a long & hard game is the ultimate feeling. Also, to have a gamer level 10, 11, 12, etc is very smart and totally feels like a RPG which is another very rewarding thing.

The 360's points and PS3's trophies I suspect will be carried over to the next gen consoles. Here is an example what we could see; PS3 gamer level 33 and 110 platinums. 360 gamer 1,260,168 points.

So, trophies for me are more rewarding and fun.

Achievements are still implemented better.

But I would prefer trophies. Firstly it should make some sing and dance when you gain a level. As this just doesn't have the same effect imo as the whole all you gamer score adding up to this big number.

Thing I really hate about both, but more with Trophys was I had all but the collect aload of light seeds for POP, and was going to leave those till I was seriously bored and run out of other games to play much of and get a platinum. Then DLC was released which I don't believe is worth the money and now I won't get it.

Pressing the home button on the xbox and taking you straight to what you just got is a nice little feature.

Achievements do have the advantage of being more vaidie though. Such as 5points, 10points, which would both be worth the same bronze

Did u even read the thread rules? Trophies are very competative, too. I have 100 friends on my list who I am always checking on the spot their levels, what games they are playing, how far they have gotten through the game and how many shinny platinums they have acquired.

Yeah same here. And there is also thetrophy league here on this site that me and u are in that also makes it very competitive too



I pretty much find they do the exact same thing in different packaging. Both remove the element of challenging yourself in games for instead a set of pre-determined challenges or hurdles to overcome for a non-existent reward of sorts that offers no real enhancement to game play aside from the ability to extend your ego. That being said, I still love both of em.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

"And there is also the trophy league here on this site that me and u are in that also makes it very competitive too". Yeh, the PS3 trophy league is also very competitive and very fun. The 360's leauge is good, too. So, who ever said one is more competitive then the other is blind!

I think people with many more than the other tend to say they like that one better. Makes sense, cause they have worked so hard at it.
