Choice? As far as I know I don't have the choice to disable trophies on my PS3 or achievements on my 360 (if I could I'd do it).

I never did understand the big deal about achievments and trophies. I wish you could switch them off, to be honest.

You have the choice to ignore them or use them to your benefit.

You have two options to choose from, Nintendo give you none.

So, like, if I have sex in front of you. You have the choice to ignore me... right?

To speak of that, did we ever get clarification as to whether the pedometer coins could also be gained through in-game work?

Only geeks and otaku want achievements.

Yup or I can join in on the fun. It's all cool in the world of analogies.

To the OP:

I'd also like to point out that their argument about why they want achievements is also pretty stupid. I get the same amount of exploration and focus out of my HD games as I would out of a Wii game. I played Infamous the first time without even looking at the trophies, then I did it again a second time and by the third play through I had run out of things to do and I looked to the trophies to just push me through a third play through and still keep it interesting and fun. Mario games do the the same thing with stars, they offer an obstacle and give you a listed achievement once that obstacle has been accomplished. Trophies and Achievements are like an evolved form of star collection, the only difference is that they are an optional side game.

If I collect all the puzzle pieces and the KONG letters, i may get an extra level, or just a drawing art!!!, encourage us to keep on the game!! it may not be necessary but it makes u do sth to get to that

I don't think I am ready for a straight up 3 somes with a stranger.

At least, you'd have to buy me dinner first.

Is it weird that I when I think about having sex with you, my imagination instantly replaces a human face with a pebble wearing a Christmas hat? Your the lucky one here, you'd imagine a hot chick with abnormally nice skin. I think you've won this Nintendo argument.
