Trophy-Holics

i get your point…. as much as i hate to admit , i've bought games just for trophies (pjm ) and played some my mates offered me (gti rally …) 'cause of the trophies (i'm no good at car games…but my friend loves 'em) … but see: i ended up liking PJM and buying savage moon for a more adsult tower defence…(its really cool) , also , even though i hate racing games , the idea of getting more trophies than \a friend made me play loads of wipeout (im still crap but i'm proud of my 20 perfect zone laps…kinda like you can be proud of a new shirt or s/thing…) … all this to get more than my friends and prove by a+b that i'm better at this or that game… really , i wouldnt spend 70 euros on a game just for trophies , but they do add to the time i spend playing those i buy. i'd never have looked for a fallout walkthrough otherwise , just wandered around 'til i got bored of it- trophies don't make a game , but they might make you play them more thoroughly . so they add to the value of a game because i would have put wipeout down quicker. i don't have enough time to get plat on all of 'em , nor the skill , but i get more out of those i buy (i'll be trying to get some on mirrors edge or cod5 , and would never have done some of the stuff if it weren't for a trophy…) …. dunno if there's a point to trophies , it's about PLAYING v.games and having fun with it , but it's fun to do some of the stuff , and your friends can check it out. some games just ain't worth their retail price , and trophies can't make up for that. you won't see me buying alone in the dark inferno or everybody's golf or whatever ….

WhY So SeRiOuS??¿¿?? LOL (loved the batman film) I play games what i like i dont buy a game am not gonna like. i used to love playing CoD4 online but got a bit boring after about 20 days online play time and since then i havent found a game i like online. I do love trophies but i wouldn’t rush to the shop to buy a game just because it had them i have to like the game iswell. but every game i play has trophies. by the end of january every game will have trophies so all them people who buy games for trophies are gonna have to work hard to keep up lol.

kinda feel that way too…. (dunno if i'll rent alone in the dark though…)…. at the end of the day i wouldn't buy a game i don't like for trophies , but like PJM people who played it said it was great , so it made me try it , and i found i enjoyed tower defence…. so if it makes you experience new games , thats cool , as long as you don't play a game you DONT like just to get the trophies… i guess.

No. It is true I am addicted to trophies, but I do not buy a game just for trophies. I generally rent the games that have trophy support. Currently I have over 29 games for my PS3, but only like 6 of them (GTA 4, LBP, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Bioshock, Buzz, and CoD 5) have trophy support. In fact 3 of them were given to me as gifts. I rent a game for 2 weeks, and if I like it then I get as many of the trophies that I can. The exception would be FarCry 2, because I only played the game 20 minutes and hated playing every second of it due to poor controls and graphics and storyline. Trophies make a game more challenging in my opinion. Especially if you are trying to get a platinum trophy. So I do believe trophies can make a game's replay value increase.

i think that's the point : if you like a game , trophies add value 'cause it's stuff you might not bother doing otherwise. but then even if i like a game i might not bother , like doing bioshock on v.hard with no vita chambers.. loved fallout 3 though….

I never thought that I would like trophies this much… the point of no return for me was when the fallout 3 patch was released, that was all she wrote. Now I might rent a game if it has no trophy support, but u won't see me adding anymore games 2 my collection that does not support trophies. I like to compare with all the people on my friends list…I wish the ps3 had something to let u know how many have looked at your collection.
