Did You Care More or Less About Trophies/Achievements This Gen? What Changed?

[DrScruffleton]

I try to get at least one achievement a day now because Microsoft gives 50 reward points per day for an achievement unlocked. I still try to 100% complete games I really like.

 

[BasilZero]

More

Not in terms of collection wise but as a feature wise on choosing to buy third party games on PlayStation and PC over Nintendo platforms

I've never actually cared about them at all and it may sound weird by my kids that are now middle and high school age have never cared about them either.

 

[srtrestre]

Same as always, which is not at all.

 

[Timeaisis]

Definitely less. Probably because I'm older.

 

[komaruR]

gave up early ps3. some of the trophies are just too grindy to get. afterward i nvr cared about it anymore.

 

[Rizific]

same, which is to say i dont care about them at all.

Depends on the game honestly. I liked RDR2 but theres no way I'm actually going to grind the online stuff. So nowadays I draw the line depending on all sorts of criteria, I know what I like and don't like, I know what is worthwhile use of my time and not. I purposely left the LOH TOCS3 platinum at 97%(just need to beat nightmare mode) as an excuse to revisit it....and I love that game.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I think I cared about the same? I don't really think my opinion of them rose or fell much.

I still find it weird playing Nintendo games that don't have ANY sort of play tracking like trophies, so it's clear they've had some kind of effect on me but I generally don't obsess over them. I only got maybe four or five platinum trophies the entire generation.

 

[Angst]

More. I've noticed they help me actually finish games.

 

[drock5k]

Much less this time. I thought they were cool previously (but never went out of my way to 100% them), this time around I just find them distracting and much less time for it.

 

[AndrewDean84]

Less. I don't play as much on Xbox or playstation these days.

 

[-PXG-]

I never cared to begin with. Still don't.

 

[Camisado]

About the same, but it was always too much.

I wish I could stop caring about them honestly. It would save me a lot of hassle grinding out shitty trophies for platinums!

 

[Falchion]

Less because I have more money to buy the games I want so I'd rather go to the next thing.

 

[Aswitch]

I don't care about it as much as I used to. I just don't have the time to especially considering my immense backlog i'm trying to get through as well. If I've gotten a lot of them unconsciously and am pretty close to 100%/platinum (or if I really enjoyed the game), then I'll go for full completion if it's reasonable enough. I do like keeping them open for when I want some replayability if i'm interested enough.

 

[henhowc]

Less. I find most of the trophies they force you to complete to platinum are grindy and unfun.

Don't got time for that nonsense.

 

[TheMissingLink]

Less.

I realized that time was my most precious resource, and chasing digital points or trophies was not something that I wanted to spend that on.

 

[Adder7806]

About the same. Get the ones I want leave the rest and move on.

 

[Dezzy]

I liked them for a little while on the Xbox 360, but after a while it was taking away enjoyment from games trying to get them. Now I just have them disabled/hidden on every platform and I forget they exist. (turned them on for DQXI on PS4, but that's it.)

 

[LiK]

Way less. I just don't care as much anymore.

 

[Pyro]

More for sure, but that's probably cuz I started a PSN account fairly late last gen. I still think REmake is the best trophy list since the gameplay challenges they present are really fun.
