I agree.
Seconded. It's not our fault though. :(

It's like trying to get an alcoholic to drink. We can't help ourselves. You need to take away the temptation. ;)

I have no feelings towards them. If I get an achievement/trophy, it's like, "COOL?!" But I've gone out of my way to get like three achievements.

I can understand the frustration if you let them frustrate you, but it just doesn't even matter to me, ha.

Trophies are fun and I go after them if I know I can at the time I'm playing, but I don't go out of my way (aka progressing in a way I don't want to) just to get them. I also don't *have to have* that Platinum. It'd be nice to get one eventually, but I won't ruin a game for myself just to get one.

Like in Demon's Souls for example, I could have spent all these hours (over 300? and still going) to farm and go for the all the trophies (by farming stones, mostly), but that's not what I enjoy about Demon's Souls the most. Right now I'm doing a lot of co-op and PvP, which I both love in DS especially. Why? Because the game is tough, so it feels good to help out where you can. And PvP is fun because you'll kill/be killed and still get a message saying "Good fight," "Good game," etc. (So it's got a great community.)

That being said, tho, getting the DS Platinum is still a goal of mine. However, there's only two games I care to Platinum. LittleBigPlanet and Demon's Souls. Will I ever? Maybe.

Also, they never cross my mind when making a purchase. What really bothers me is when people do this. You'll see this a lot with Valkyria Chronicles and other older games with no trophy support/achievement support; "No Trophy support in Valkyria Chronicles? Lame, I'll pass." Talk about ugh...

Though this point doesn't matter anymore for new games, since I'm pretty sure it's mandatory for developers include them now...


Edit: Just noticed I'm at 300 posts. W00t (:

Oh, and I also like that you can compare them with friends; see what games they have, see how far they've progressed, and maybe get competitive (make a fun game out of it).

Also, to sum up my feelings on the topic: I love 'em, but I'm not addicted.

Yeah, comparing is fun. And good luck on the LBP platinum cause I'm convinced that one's absolutely and completely impossible. Boost must have cheated with magic powers to get his. :lol:

They cross my mind when purchasing, but aren't prohibitive if they're absent. What is is the thought that game might get a trophy patch. THAT would suck. I'm convinced that'll happen with MGS4. They're going to do MGS4 Ultimate like they always do and patch in MGS4 trophy support. It also bothers me in Tools of Destruction that they already had a pretty trophy-ish system in place that would've been cake to co-opt.

I feel your pain, nate. While I don't get half of the trophies for some of my finished games, it does make me go back and check a lot to see which ones maybe I could go get.

Example: I'm tired of playing a game, but want to play something. When I can't decide on something, I decide to pop a game in where I could go grab a few trophies. One time I started playing Fallout 3, and spent 5 hours in a row playing it on a Sunday. Only for like 5 trophies.

LBP is ridiculous. Forget that... my first run-through I got more than 75%, but I did each level a few times before moving on to the next one, to ensure I got as much as I could by myself (I even did the x2, x3, x4 things by myself with multiple controllers... wasn't too hard).

If you ever want to play LBP or anything else online, just message me on PSN. I'm down for anything. Plus if you got a mic we could chat as well.

I'm still stone age with online stuff. Plus, for some reason LBP lags like crazy when I play with anyone online.

LBP can be very laggy. I played online a few months back and I thought maybe my connection was effing up, but maybe that wasn't the case.

Whoever put 2-player trophies in games deserves to be punched in the head. There are a TON of trophies in MUA2 I can't get for lack of a 2nd controller. And are some trophies really worth $45?
