Collecting Golden Film Reels in LA Noire - had to do it to get the trophy, but seriously?? What's the point?

 

Not really unnecessary as it's neccessary to get the trophy - but it felt like a pointless inclusion and bored me half to tears.

Why did you do it then?

Exactly. I really don't understand this obsession people have with trophies and achievements. They're pointless to me.

They're evidence.  When I was younger, I'd brag to my "friends" about how I beat Super Metroid with a really low time or how I beat Street Fighter II on the hardest level without continuing.  With Achievements, you have proof.

 

--also, these friends wouldn't have anything to do with me when somebody cooler or a girl came around.  I was such a geek.  :(
