I don't understand the concept of achievements or trophies. Can someone enlighten me? I just think that they are pointless. Are they beneficial to games and your gameplay? And do the trophies/achievements themselves unlock special things in the games, or is it vice-versa?
Reason I'm asking is because my friends (and you forum users) talk about them all the time, and I don't understand what's so good about them other than having them as bragging rights. My ex doesn't even understand what trophies are used for, and she's had a PS3 for 2 years already...
