Personally for me, I have never been that into getting trophies (PS3 user here) for most of the time. I just played the game as much as I wanted and whenever I got a trophy I thought it was cool and sometimes I tried to actually get some but that was it. Not trying to get them all or anything like that. But lately has been different. I'm a very *check off all the boxes* type person so I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. I've been really trying to get Platinums and all that lately. I just feel like I haven't played the game to it's true fullest extent if I don't get all the trophies. So what do you think? Is it worthless? Do you like getting them too?

I started thinking about it after I made a http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/dead-money/95561-dead-money-trophy-guide.html. I actually kind of felt bad about it. Like it was wrong and I was being crazy

I ignore them and just play the game. They never have any actual effect in gameplay and i get more satisfaction from my own personal goals in the game instead of what someone else says should be important.

No not even bothered to do such things.

The only Platinum I ever worked for was the one for ACII. Right now I'm trying to get over trohies completely because it's starting to feel like I'm only playing games just for them.

I try and go for tough achievements once I get bored of the game.

I used to not care about them, feeling that they served no purpose and distracted from the game overall. After a while I got sick of it being the only thing my friends worried about and caved. My gamerscore is now approaching 45 k.

On XBox LIVE, yes. I go through the game and do everything I can, and then go achievement hunt later to keep the game lasting

As for PSN, I don't really work as hard. I only worked to Plat Uncharted 2. Which I did, then a week later DLC Trophies came out. Which made me so mad I didn't bother een buying the DLC from pure rage. Haha.

If I can unlock things with them, I'll go for it, unless I find the achievement too annoying to get. Or, if I already like a game enough to replay it several times, I might go for them since it can be easier to maintain interest if you have a goal, again forgetting it if they're annoying since it defeats the point. Otherwise I ignore them completely.

I like getting achievements, and I actively pursue them. However, there's only half a dozen or so games where I have the full 1000G..

It depends. Are they artificial achievements implemented by Xbox, or are they strictly built into the game itself?. Like, for example, right now I"m playing Final Fantasy Dissidia, and while I'm not worried about getting every single "accomplishment" I am trying to unlock as much of the game as I possibly can. Course, gonna be a bit rough, since I'm having massive trouble getting 90+ gear so I can do "Inward Chaos" or whatever the final story line is. I can beat the guys in there but it requires me to go into Ex Mode, lol.

So, if the game itself has it in there, I'll likely try to unlock/accomplish a lot of it's content, but if it's artificial accomplishments introduced by Xbox or something like that, I ignore it. lol

I'll always check the achievement list on games I play, and do the ones I think look interesting or fun. I tend to ignore any achievements that require excessive grinding however, like the 'collect 100 extremely well hidden very small useless items' so many games are fond of.

My favourite types of achievements are the inventive one, for example, Just Cause 2 had a bunch of achievements that required you to kill enemies by throwing them off heights, running them over, or attaching a tank to a helicopter and using it like a wrecking ball.

I've gotten 100% in a few games, and I get a bit of satisfaction from doing it, but I won't go out of my way for 1000GS.

Same here. I liked the fun achievements in games like Assassin's Creed II. But I can't stand the ones that force you to do ridiculous things.

ACII had some great achievements. I actually did the collection ones in that, partly because I just loved the game so much but also because I had done everything else and wanted to 100% it.

I don't have all the achievements for any games but I'm close with quite a few. I do tend to pursue them, especially if it's a game I like.

I'm not an achievement hoarder but I do like achievements. As long as they are fun and reasonably challenging.

I only accumulate trophies through normal gameplay and never deliberately try to achieve them.

When I first got my Xbox 360 I'd try for them in certain games, but not anymore. They offer no incentive to complete and if it's the kind of game where I'd like to compare my progress to someone else (shmups), there are usually advanced scoring systems in place that'd do a much better job.

Don't care for them usually, but some of the more interesting/challenging achievements i do go for. Like "Immortal" in Plants vs Zombies, that took a few tries.

Sometimes the achievement list is a deal breaker on whether or not I buy a game. Currently, I've 1000'd eight games, and I'm working on several more that I plan on finishing over the summer, with a goal of reaching at least 50k by the end of August.

However, there are some games that I just can't be bothered to 1000 because they make me too angry. For example, yesterday I was playing chapter 7 of Dead Space on Impossible difficulty, because that's the last achievement I need to complete the game. I got a checkpoint in an area where I have no ammo, my health is in the red, and the room is full of those orange-eyed necromorphs that refuse to lose their limbs, as well as those stupid rocket-launching babies. There's literally no possible way I can escape this predicament.

I play games for the story, so I get those achievements. But I don't really bother with the rest. Earlier this week I bought Batman: Arkham Asylum and finished the game on hard earlier today and got all the story achievements, but I won't bother with the extra challenges achievements as I don't see any point in playing that sort of thing.

So if a game have non-story achievements (including multiplayer achievements) I will most likely not get them

Out of the 5 GWFL games I have, I only got 1000G on Fallout 3 (well, 1550 with the DLCs). The game with the least achievments is Red Faction: Guerrilla where I only have 380 despite finishing the game.

I'm in a similar situation on Dead Money. Even though I scavenge everything I have hardly any ammo or health and I just made it through a wave of ghost people to get to the Bell tower now I started the Gala event and the streets are overflowing with the ghost people. Ughhhh

Yes and no. I love achievements and I will go out of my way to get them. For me gamerscore is like getting highscores back in the arcade. I personally love to find collectibles in games, I always have. So those kinds of achievements do bother me. However, I'm not about to do something for an achievement that I don't enjoy. Games are about having fun after all.

Basically I'm not about to boost achievements by playing games I don't like. *Looks at people with Avatar the last airbender on their profile :stare: *

Another example: I really wanted to get the 7 day survivor achievement in Dead Rising. That sounded like a real achievement. But I never got to try it because I absolutely hated the game. No way was I about to play through the entire main story to unlock free-play (how it should have been to begin with)

MP achievements i never get, so that effectively limits the games i can get all trophys/achievements from. Dead Space 2 may be the first PS3 game i will get platinum on. That hardcoe mode sounds like fun, in the masochistic :swear: :banghead: :brokencomputer: kind of way



Ammo is tight in it indeed, make use of the Knife Spears :toughninja:

I've been making good use of the Cosmic Knife lately

Unfortunately I never put my Melee skill up very much. So I'm not doing as much damage as I could.

What's you guy's favorite achievement image? My favorite's are any of the Fallout 3 or New Vegas ones. I just can't stand not loving Vault Boy's awesome smile.

I used to be, but since I dont play on Xbox anymore really, they dont matter to me too much. I really dont care for the Steam version of them.
