I hate trophies and achievements, they actually detract from the experience for me.

First off, it's distracting. Completely pulls me out of the game when an ugly out-of-place notification pops up in the middle of a game.

Plus it's patronizing. It treats me like I'm a three-year old getting pats on the head every time I do something right. "Oh, you beat that boss you HAD TO BEAT ANYWAY? ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!" "Oh, you killed x number of generic goons? YOU GOT A TROPHY!" I don't need to be spoonfed, thanks.

They're one of the most worthless gimmicks to come out of the 7th gen.

I hope Nintendo never makes an equivalent, or if they do, that they can be turned off.


How the hell is that spoonfeeding? Is there a different meaning to the word that I don't know?

 

OT: I used to have a similar problem where I don't buy games if they didn't have trophies. Or buy the game for the PS3 instead of the 360 because I wanted the trophies even though the 360 version was superior. I don't care that much anymore, but I still like to platinum my favorite games.
