Personally, the trophy system beats the shit out of gamerscore... Unlike what twesterm pointed out, sure you have no idea what level 4 means, but the fact that the different trophies are ranked by difficulty is amazing. 5000 gamerscore can me some douche rented 500 games and got a shitload of 10 point achievements, I mean is it really "gamer score" or find the fastest way to milk points..

At least with trophies you get the final reward, or should I say, basically the only one that matters once you get EVERY other trophy the game has to offer. You get that friggin platinum trophy, which when comparing to friends, separates the boys from the men :P (I don't agree with this paragraph at all, I think comparing digital points is well... pointless... I'm just saying to iterate a... point... shit too many points)

But anyway, take it easy on the OP guys :P He was showing a concern, yes a silly one given the situation, but a concern none the less... no need to be ravenous :P

 

 Erm... its the same as people getting 1000 G in games like Dead Rising, Ninja Gaiden 2, Devil May Cry 4 etc. etc. ALthough it doesnt show in the total, people will know when they actually compare the actual games.

And what happens when I get a Platinum for Avatar, King Kong, Lost and CSI versus your Platinum in MGS4? Am I a man and you are a boy because I got 4 Plats vs your 1 Plat?

No, that makes you 10x the man, because those games suck ;) and we know you completed them. That makes you a god amongst men. And quite the tooper I might add :D To see and unlock EVERYTHING that a game like that has to offer, that's the definition of hardcore :D Not 1000 gamerscore, not some generic addition to a total score, but a PLATINUM TROPHY IN LOST!!! That states, that when you played that game, going for gold wasn't good enough for you. Gold is for pussies. You took the medals from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, ate them for breakfast, and SHIT WINNER.
