I don't know. Yes, PC games are dirty cheap but for me Trophies have made so that I must play everything on the PS3. For example, I really like to play through all the Halo games but since they don't have Trophies I won't bother. Now that's the X360 but it's the same with the PC exclusives I am interested in, like Heroes of M&M 6 and Witcher 2.

Btw, why do you describe yourself as a newbie to PC gaming CGI, when you have mentioned playing through a few PC exclusives such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. through the years?

I used to be the same way, but in favor of 360 achievements instead of PS3 trophies. However now I don't give a shit. Gears of War 3 has 2,000 achievements, why is the reward for "completing" this game with twice as much as a regular game? I don't care about points now, but I try to get 1,000/1,000 or a platnium trophy on all my favorite JRPG's, or niche games in general.

Why don't you give a shit anymore? Haven't you dreamed of becoming a Trophy God or a Gamerscore God?

I only care for individual games, and not as a cumulative score, and it's more the niche games. More and more games are making trophy's/achievements for playing the game x amount of hours and getting to x level. It's stupid, it's just a way to make you play the games more then you originally intended to (online multiplayer for shooters, multiple playthrough for single player games, quests for RPG's).

Some of the best single player experiences I had were on the Wii/DS/PSP because, I don't use a guide for RPG's, I'm not forced to play online either more then I want, or in specific game modes, and when I'm done I'm done.

Also, specifically for 360, I hate the direction achievements are heading. Why are the DLC (all multiplayer) worth as much as the main game in Gears of War 3? Why is Gears 3 worth nearly twice as much as Gears 1? Why is it easier to get achievements now then it used to be? Acheivements are becoming less and less an expression of what games you play, and more and more an expression of which brand you follow.

Yeah it sucks that you have to play the game unnaturally by following guides. I typically have a hard time trying to decide wether I should play "blind" one time and then use a Trophy guide only after a I beat the game, but then the work becomes even harder.

Trophys both enchance but also derail your gaming experience.

But what do you do when you are hooked like I am? I feel like a slave.
