I’m not trying to insult anyone with this, I think the system is okay, but it is abused by some gamers and overdone (I’ve seen people with 300,000+ gamerscores and shit). Gaming has changed soooo much, and I’m not sure I like the new generation and the way it’s headed…I feel like I’m growing away from gaming because of this achievement stuff.
I’m not saying I’m anything special for not going after achivements. Because I’ll be honest, I go out of my way some times to unlock achievements too…and I honestly don’t know why I do that…It’s like this shit gets addicting.
But I also find myself clicking the middle guide button on my controller every time an achievement unlocks, and I find it taking my attention away from the game world.
Idk just my opinion on the whole achievements/trophies being mandatory on games…Why can’t companies make games without them? Doesn’t make sense to me.
I don’t just play games for the achivements. Every game i have bought i have liked and i’ve played them, but say if i have completed the game or just lost interest in it over time then i will come back to it to see if i can get any achievements and hopefully find something new about the game i like. Like i said with Mortal Kombat 3. I was playing to get the achievements but now i’ve learned some pretty sick combos and i’m enjoying the game alot more.
