Ummmm, it's not like you guys can't enjoy the story etc..... by playing the game the first time without caring about achievements and then just going back and playing again to get the achievements........ That's what I do most of the time anyway.

That is for people with too much time on their hands, I only play my games once and I still have a big backlog. I hate trophies, they ruin my enjoyment of the games, since I don't have too much time on my hands if I want to reach 100% trophies in a game I have to go before even playing the game to find a guide to see which is the shortest way to do it, use guides and ruin the plot, and even there many require multiple playthroughs, so I will never reach 100% according to the developers.

I take advantage of my games and I try to get the most of them, but I decide when I reach my 100%, like DKC: Tropical Freeze, I reached 100% and I was done with the game, if the game had trophies they will force me to play the game again on hard and pass all the extra stuff to get platinum and I will feel that I did took advantage of the game.

Playing a game more than once is having to much time on your hands? Although I rarely actually 100% any game (most are simply to time consuming), it's still fun to try for me at least, and yeah during the summer months I have tons of free time. 



i dont realy care about achievements, but i want nintendo to have them, not because i care about it, but because i want to know what i have to do for the completion bonus.(bonus worlds, all characters, new game+)
its hard to get those in some nintendo games(stupid melee, stupid luigi...)

Yes it is for me. I have 29 games still unwrapped, I have a full time job, a wife and a baby comming, if I ever want to play through my games and experience new worlds, gameplay mechanics and styles i cannot afford the luxury and replay my games, I try to take advantage of everything I play, but once the game leaves the console there is 0% chance that it goes back.

The rewarding part of games are the emotional connections you form and wonderful stories you learn from plus countless hours of gameplay. Achievements are nothing compared to the beauty of Nintendo/PC games. (Not hating on XBOX/PS games)

Not a waste of time, I really enjoy the stories and the MP experience.
But achievements are definitely a plus, I just love them and always try to get them all.

By that I'm mainly referring to Nintendo and PC games. Yes I know steam have achievements but they kind of suck so don't count.

I just love getting achievements and trophies and 100% a game. I like games on Nintendo systems and on PC but they just don't feel as good. Why waste time playing them when I could be playing a game that's just as good but also have the benefit of earning achievements or trophies at the same time.

Anybody else feel the same way?



Actually, I've always felt achievements are a pointless gimmick, and if you find the the most interesting aspect of the games you play are achievements, you are in desperate need to play better games.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

i wish there was a way to disable trophies. i like playing the game for its gameplay, not some meaningless credit i give for doing stupid shit.



My backlog is way too big to care about achievements. If I really enjoyed the game I might go back and 100% it but that's about as far as I'll go.

That's understandable then.
