Trophies and Achievements

[FreeOnes_Adam]

I am not familiar with Xbox, so please excuse my lack of knowing what they got, I think Achievements? But do you guys play for these? If you have any Platinums (or whatever Xbox has)? If so, what games?

I don't have any platinums yet, but I could have easily gotten 1 from Secret of Mana I think. All I needed was to just buy this piece of equipment in a town. I returned the game and now I was like, I guess that would have been a good idea. It was like junk from the first town or so.


I admit, I feel it very satisfying when I get a trophy that says like 3% or so. Elite status! .4% was like my best one. I like seeing what the masses didn't do. I'm a completionist, but somethings even I wont do. There is a line, no matter what my OCD tell me. If it needs online play, I wont bother. I don't like multiplayer stuff.

What do you got?

PSN gives you that yearly email telling you your progress too, like how your trophy hunting results stack up against the community, etc. Maybe there's a way to get more frequent updates?

IDK for sure, but I heard that in the early days getting trophies unlocked stuff like wallpapers/themes. I could be wrong since I never saw them

Way back when achievements became a thing in games I decided to not pay attention to them and give them no heed. I think my life has been less stressful and I have enjoyed the games more because of that. Chasing them seems like a bigger pain than it's worth to me. It doesn't help work often leads me with little free time, and devoting so much time to a strange hard to pull off achievement leaves that much less time for me when I can just go on and enjoy a new game.
