| KylieDog said: I see a lot of Nintendo fans criticising trophies/achievements, yet they are no different to trying to collect every Pokemon in a Pokemon game. Why do it? Most of the catching/evolving is just a grind, 90% of them wil not be used, the reward for catching them all is meaningless. Yet you do it. |
Well, I presented Xenoblade and Smash Bros. as examples, you add Pokemon to the list. Some people already answered, that they don't like them. Possible and understandable, but clearly nothing 'Nintendo-fans' in general do. I already said I like some achievements. I found them OK in Xenoblade, mostly irrelevant in Smash Bros. and excellent in Kid Icarus: Uprising. In my opinon KI:U has the best execution of how achievements can work.
The basic assumption of Nintendo-haters is, that Nintendo-games and games on Nintendo-platforms don't have achievements. That is basically wrong. So this thread is in a way pointless.
And with Pokemon: while some have fun catching all, most players simply concentrate on competitive Pokemon and try to breed them to the best Pokemon EVAR to beat everyone else in Online battles. So you simply cannot generalize to every Nintendo-fan.
