What do you think of trophies/achievements?

I often hear/read people saying how trophies/achievements are dumb and so are the people going for them.

It makes sense that not everyone understand getting a game just for the trophies/achievements, but I don't see why it's so bad to care if you have a high score or not.

Even in the arcades, people already wanted to be better than others, but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy the game itself.

Opinions?

I agree. I believe it's required to beat the game 100% which I go for myself.

After I beat Ocarina of Time 3D, I started the Master Quest mode (A mirrored version where enemies are twice as strong) just to complete the game 100%, and I love it.

In DBZ TTT, I'm looking to beat the Battle 100 fully, and I'm pretty close. I'm on the last set of opponents.

I guess it's to get the most out of it.

True Dat ^^^

I think buying a game just for trophies is silly though.

Trust me, speed running a game is never fun.

I think I suck at speed runs anyway, haha.

I never bought a game for trophies, but I once borrowed Terminator Salvation just to get the platinum. Paying 1 euro for a platinum in a few hours wasn't a big problem to me.

But I don't think I'd do the same with the Hannah Montana game. That'd be too much.

Oh god. The fact that you mentioned that game sickens me.

1 euro... I gotta convert that and see if I would pay it!

Yeeesh! Dat game is so kawaii!

I'm into anime, but not really into Hatsune. I bet you wanna platinum it though. If I'd like the gameplay, I would get it though, haha.


@TerrorIsn'tTheSolution
ikr. The game wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but it still wasn't fun.

1 euro = 1 USD(in case you roughly know how much USD are)

Basically, I could've had a McDonald's Cheeseburger instead. I still regret this decision.
