The issue with achievements is that they breed a shitty culture surrounding games, where a lot of people will buy a game just to get the achievements, and a lot of people will obsess over playing a game until they "Platinum" it even if they're not enjoying it anymore (or never were to begin with). Of course, that's something anyone can just turn off, but it's just kinda annoying when that sort of thing starts popping up in your gaming community. As a system-wide feature, I can't see anything good to come from it, like, at all. If a developer really wants their game to have achievements, they can just make them in-game, like a lot of them already do, and I like it better that way, because for some games it's nice to have that sort of thing, but not for all of them. |
Its nothing wrong with playing games just for the achivements. Its just the way somebody plays the games he/she/it likes. Maybe we just should give people freedom of having fun with products they like. Of course if this is somehow a life addiction and is causing individual problems it should be treated. In my opinion this problem will be connected to a very small % of gamers.
