Meh, I never had high hopes for trophies anyways. They're better than I originally imagined but they still aren't as good as Gamerscore.

heh. After all of one game supports them, you make a statement like that? ummmm.....

 

No, I just think the overall system isn't good. With achievements you have thing that are worth a specific amount, which trophies they are some obscure amount.

What does it take to get 5000 gamer points? A lot of work. What does it take to get to level 5? I have no fucking clue.

I guess it's just a matter of do you like more abstract or exact.

The points system of Microsoft does have it's charm (it's certainly more straightforward), but the one thing better done in the Trophy system is at-a-glance platinum trohies.

Being able to see just how many games someone completly 'owned' on his gamercard is a very nice feature imho. The same thing goes for the other thropies, you can spot if someone is 'trophy-whoring' without having to drill down. Can't do that with Gamerscore.

I do agree it should be easier to spot what to do to level though.
