Trophies aren't an issue what-so-ever to me.

It's the quality of the game I'll be interested in. I'm curious as to how good the reviews are going to be, because from the gameplay trailers shown so far, I am not impressed.

PC it is then for me.

How hard can it be? :s

"IF player = ... THEN "yay, you si teh doing good" END-IF"

(okay, it's probably not THAT easy, but don't tell me that it would take plenty of time. You just need to find a trigger, and program some lines to get a pop-up... wow, hard O_o)

He may be completely crazy, but I'm pretty sure he isn't gay.

 Sony added trophies in July.  Is it surprising that a game set for release 4 months later is not including them at launch? 

Do you know how often I actually bother getting downloadable content?  Well, probably not since I've never said, but almost never.  Not for Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo, GTAIV, or most of those other games that have special downloadable content.  That wasn't a factor.

Furthermore, why is it so hard to believe I want a PS3 game?  Do you really think I'm petty enough to just completely shun my PS3 because I can?  No, it's there so I want to play it.  It actually greatly troubles me that I have a single game for the system and it only gets used as a DVD/BluRay player.  I want to play games on it.

So yes, I was planning on getting the PS3 version until this news.  And explanation on achievements/trophies coming in a minute...

That bonus is important to me.  I like achievements and I like trophies because I just like those things.  I don't remember what it's called, but there are something like 5 different gamer types

Explorer

Social

Collector

Murderer

...something else I don't remember and there may actually be more, whatever.

Anyways, I'm a collector.  I love collecting things.  Achievements are great things to collect and trophies will be great to collect once I finally get some games that support them.  Open world doesn't concern me much.  I'm not a social person.  Killing things is fun but that's not why I play games.  I just like to collect things. 

So while achievements or trophies may not bother you, they are a deciding factor for me just like downloadable content might be a deciding factor for someone else but not really for me (I see that as _just_ a bonus).

So you're saying MS did some tactical espionage sabotaging in order for PS3 not to have trophies?

I'm pretty sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation behind this.

Not to mention, they're not ruling out trophies completely, I'm pretty sure they're adding it in the foocher.

No biggie, dood.

90% of the games releasing in October or later support trophies...

This is the list : http://www.thesixthaxis.com/ps3-trophy-faq/

Only notable games being release in Q4 or later not supporting trophies so far are Fallout 3 and Prince of Persia..

Well they loss a sale, too bad for them.........

So many decent games releasing in Q4, trophies support is definitly going to be a factor in which I end up buying..( might still get Prince of Persia though, I kinda like the game).
