I do not care about it for my decision on buying a game.... now that said I do try to get them when they make sens and/or are challenging without beingh completely outside the game itself.... I hate when they do a bunch of stupid collectibles just for the sake of achievement....especially if you don't unlock secrets for the story.... like collect all the blue orbs... or get all the dead pigeons... but beside that nothing I hate that and don't even bother trying to get it..... now if there is a clear up that level without using weapon, or staying on foot, or in less than 2min stuff like that and they are doable in less than a week of practice I always give them a try.... so yeah I don't try to get all of them... I don't care about them when it comes to the purchase decision.... but I'll try to have the one I like for my bragging rights with my friends and to sometimes to have more fun with a game i finished but I really liked.... I think some achievement when well done extend the replayability of a game.... and yet if you don't like it you don't have to do it.... I think they are a great addition to the games in general... |
This! But on the trophy side.
I never purchase a game based on its trophy list. And I never hunt for all the trophies, but every now and then I will commit some time to obtaining interesting trophies. So far, I have 0 platinums, and I think it will always be that way. Getting every single trophy is too time consuming for me with the limited time I have for gaming, I need to just enjoy the experience of playing before the next big thing gets released. If I spend my time trying to platinum,I would probably get to play 2 or 3 games a year cause some of those trophies are just ridiculous and are really for people who don't only have the devotion to get them, but the much needed time as well.
I am not against them though, I do think they add a layer of experience to the game, and can be appreciated at different levels by different gamers. The trophy chime almost always puts a smile on my face.
