Doesn't bother me, i think they are both good. I'm not the type of person that tries to 100% a game anymore... i used to when i was a kid but now i see that as kind of a waste of my time. I do like it when you do something outrageous in a game though and you will unexpectedly get a trophy/achievement, definitely a nice touch and always good for a laugh.

Right on!

The only reason I prefer Achievements is because every game for the 360 has them. I play a few games for the PS3 like MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles that are great, but don't have trophies. Since I don't get credit for those games, I feel like my trophy level will never be a true representation of my accomplishments. Aside from that one little nitpick, they're just two different versions of the same thing.

-one other small gripe: Achievements add absolutely nothing to the game. They were just a fun little bonus that 360 users had. When Sony announced that they were pretty much going to copy them (but make minor changes), I groaned. Trophies actually may be better than Achievements. I don't know. Just the fact that they were somewhat of a ripoff has turned me off to the idea. I don't even try to get trophies. I scan the Achievement list every time I buy or plan to buy a game.

Trophies are a better because of platinum trophies which add something extra to the system. Though both systems do have one major flaw -- inconsistency. SONY and Microsoft NEED to tell developers to create trophies within a reasonable range of difficulty/time commitment. Games that hand over 1000achievement points / a platinum trophy are bad -- but games that ask consumers to spend excessive time, or get lucky are even worse. We need a middle ground -- more games with Trophies/Achievements. (id estimate a time frame of 30 - 80 hours for platinum/1000 achievement points being the sweet spot (30 hours for FPS to 80 hours for RPG's)

I like achievements, I dont really get Trophies !!

I havent finished GOW3 because I dont feel like looking at the awkward list of trophies I need to get

Not this retarded discussion again ~~

I prefer Trophies because my friends can see them. But I also like my achievements. I have 3 games that are 1000/1000G.

I like both overall. If they aren't too bad to achieve I try to get them all. But if the game requires you to play 3 times, then hell no.

I'm pretty much indifferent to both.

Again ?
Achievements because all games have them.

I think both are retarded and a waste of time.
