I love them for the fact that they are great reminders of the game itself. I can go back and look at achievements for any particular game and be reminded of many of the things I did. To collect them as a "score" I suppose its one of the only things left in gaming today that represents a game "score" |
Same here, great way to browse through all the games I've played.
Throphies / achievements for completing chapters is also useful to see how far your friends are in a certain game. Check their progress first before spoiling half the game for them by asking how they got by something later on.
The only game in which achievements actually made sense for progress was Test drive unlimited. The achievements gave you the xp you needed to level. I would be nice if more games actually integrated them in the game instead of just tacking them on to certain events.
