I've noticed that this is often a talking point about games, regarding how many achievements a game has, or how difficult they are. There's even many news articles dedicated entirely to them.

The problem is, I've never been too interested in achievements or trophies. I almost never go out of my way to get them. The reason for this is, I prefer to set my own goals in games, and don't want to limit myself only to what the developers set for me, nor do I want to take hours on end just to get some of those ridiculously hard trophies. The only time I'll go after an achievement is if the goal is something I would be interested in challenging myself to do. But I do this for the challenge itself, not for the achievement.

So, I don't quite understand why some people are so interested in achievements. And I don't know whether I'm in the minority when I say I don't really care for them.
