Has switching from trophies to achievements or vice versa changed your gaming habits?

I think the concept of trophies is better than an achievement score because your platinum trophy never goes away even when DLC is added, whereas an achievement score can fluctuate above 1000 when content is added later, making the incentive more trivial to me.

Either way, I only go for platinum trophies if I really enjoy the game and the tasks asked of you aren't completely ridiculous.

Nope.

If anything, switching focus from one platform to another across the last 3 generations has taught me to completely ignore cheevos & trophies altogether (aside from checking what it is that I just accidentally did to earn an achievement pop-up).

But I prefer the Xbox system. For me, the bronze and silver trophies are basically worthless (unless you are going for the platinum). I like that every achievement counts on Xbox.

How do bronze and silver trophies not count?

They all count of course, not sure what they mean.

The 360/PS3 era I was all about cheevos and trophies, but something clicked off for me and I couldn't care less about either now.

Trophies agitate my OCD unless I get 100% so effectively they are meaningless to me for a platinum. So the achievements just work better. Also gamer score to me is a better way to measure what I've done at a basic level. Every little bit helps.

I am confused...how is gamer score a better measure over trophies when they both offer up arbitrary numbers?

Gamerscore is constantly growing. The trophy level while it's always moving up not matter what you do, you're not seeing it increase unless you earn a platinum or a crap ton of golds and silvers.

Bronze trophies don't add to the score?

The Trophy system seems to be more addictive (at least to me) than Achievements and I'm not sure how should I feel about that.

They're interchangeable to me, and I don't much worry about them.

They do, but I've never once seen my percentage increase from a bronze. I'm not sure how many it takes for 1%. It's gotta be a lot
