Title: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: disgaeniac on April 27, 2013, 09:11:13 am: So.

As guys -and- as gamers - some of us love us a little "T" n "A", some just tolerate it, some loathe it...and - I'd guess that many are simply indifferent to T and A.

What's that, you say?
::)

"Tits and ass" :o

Wow...just wow...the directions that some minds go in (including my own:) by default; is often to the lowest, weakest, and the least mature direction :P

*ANYHOW*

ITT ===> "TnA" = *NOT* "tits 'n' ass", but...instead =

"Trophies and Achievments"

Let's talk here about anything & everything that's related (in any way) to the subject of the PS3's trophies and/or the 360's Achievements.

- Do ya' like/love or dislike/hate 'em...why?

- Do ya' ignore them altogether?

- Do ya' chase 'em down relentlessly?

- Are you one of the gamers who buys/plays games...ONLY...after reading/studying their trophy lists?

- Are ya' the (not so) proud owner of a Hannah Montana platinum trophy?!

Personally, I kinda' go through phases/cycles concerning trophies.

It really depends on 3 things:

1). My Mood,

2). How much I like/dislike the game in question, and

3). (Sort of related to # 1) = How strong & active my 'Addictive' (yes, I've always been one with an "addictive personality -and- there's no shame in my game about it:) and my 'Obsessive'/"Completionistic" drives are at the time.

So, if you were to look at my PS3 trophy list (which, everyone here can feel free to do); you'd see the last 4 games that I've played (starting with Cross-Edge, 2nd is Last Rebellion, next was Atelier Rorona, and just last night I finished/platinumed Atelier Totori) are all "100%-ed"/"Platted", while all of the games under it (my list is arranged w/ the most recently played/updated games on top to the bottom one being the one that hasn't been touched in the longest amount of time) range from 0% up to, around, 80%.

This is just making it clear that I've recently been in a very 'completionistic" frame-of-mind w/ my gaming.

How about the rest of you?

I enjoy achievements, but only if they don't ask me to do something stupid like spend an entire year in the game (Garry's Mod). I've only 1000ed one Games for Windows game - Batman Arkham Asylum - but I've got five games on Steam that have all achievements.

Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: jcalder8 on April 27, 2013, 11:29:20 am: TLDR I like achievements because it just adds to the fun of the game in my opinion. It reminds me of when I would tell my friends about beating a level in the game but now the game gives me props for doing it.

Also it challenges me to play on harder difficulties.
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: sin2beta on April 27, 2013, 11:48:21 am: I really enjoy achievements. I don't hunt them down. I actually have a very low gamer score. But I generally think that it gives me motivation to not have a backlog of games. Or have games that I play for 30 minutes and never touch again. I figure, if I can get over half the achievements on each game, then I have really played the game.

The old games, I would play until I beat them. But some games this does not work. What does it mean to beat Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for instance. achievements also make me look at other parts of the game that I never would have.

It's been there since the forum update. ;)

I used to hunt for achievements, but burned myself out on them. My GamerScore is something like 29,000. Now I am back to playing games just to play and enjoy them. If I get achievements along the way, cool. I'm not going to spend a bunch of time playing a class I don't like, or a mode I can't stand, just to get an achievement. But I will try to go for 100% if it's a game I really am enjoying anyway. Like Fallout 3, or Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. Out of all the games I own for the 360. I have 16 complete between retail and XBLA and 26 games with better than 50% completion according to TrueAchievements tracking (2 @ 90%, 4 @ 80%, 6 @ 70%, 6 @ 60% and 9 @ 50%). But like I said, I stopped caring about them awhile ago and got burnt out by them. I used to read up on achievement lists and guides on how to get the hardest ones.

But now, like in Xenoblade Chronicles. They have a list of achievements built into the game. And when one pops up I check it out, to see what it was for. But I'm not staring at the list going "I MUST GET THESE ALL AND BECOME MASTER OF XENOBLADE!!". And that while a neat new addition when the 360 launched, I believe that Achievements and Trophies lead to a new, worse type of power gamer.

This is one of the things that I agree with & like about them, too :)
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: insektmute on April 27, 2013, 12:27:44 pm: It depends. I like them in general, but I won't go too far out of my way to get 100%, and I'm definitely not one of those people who will play games I don't even like just to get more.

I also really dislike the ridiculous requirements involved in some cases, like with Dead or Alive 5. There's a trophy for unlocking every costume in the game, which is fine, except that one of Christie's costumes requires you to finish Time Attack mode on Legend difficulty... without continuing even once.

Now, I'm not a fighting game expert, but I'm a decent enough DOA player. I can pull off reversals pretty well, my defense isn't terrible, and Christie has been my main since DOA3. Legend difficulty, though? I can't even finish one match, sometimes not even one round. As far as I can tell, you'd basically have to be at the level where you can reverse or counter nearly every attack from an opponent, over the course of a fairly long string of matches. Yeah...

There also seem to be a lot of games that give up trophies/achievements for really stupid crap, like starting a campaign. Not a big deal, but not too satisfying when you get them.
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: mkarasch on April 27, 2013, 12:34:38 pm: I don't hunt either, but it does give me a little more drive to complete something a certain way, so that I'll have proof that I did it. There is certainly something to that.

HOWEVER!

Nothing gets me more steamed than when I do something in game that should TOTALLY be a trophy or achievement, and it isn't. Collecting all of this thing, 100% of whatever, should be a trophy/ach. I remember specifically getting pretty annoyed at one of the AC games for that.
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: turf on April 27, 2013, 02:09:41 pm: I really enjoy the achievements you get with the natural progression of the game, but the silly bullshit you have to do to get some is not going to happen.

An achievement for completing the campaign? Sweet!

Want me to get 100% of some item? Fine.

Want me to finish 1000000000000 multiplayer matches in one sitting? Go eff yourself.
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: scott on April 27, 2013, 02:13:01 pm: Ya, I refuse to play Multiplayer just to complete a game. That is one of the things that turned me off about achievements. Especially when it's a game that EA released and the servers only last a year anyway. >:(
Title: Re: "T" and "A" thread/discussion...
Post by: disgaeniac on April 27, 2013, 02:28:12 pm: Yeah, I have a *strong* dislike for any trophies that require anything multiplayer -I think that they're pretty much meaningless, anyways...since people just find friends to "boost" them with.

You're soon-to-be an uncle, Foxhack?!

I just became one (for the 1st time:) about 18 months ago -and- it's pretty damned awesome; I really like it & look forward to & love spending time w/ my *ADORABLE* niece ;D

My problem isn't with multiplayer-focused types of trophies, but moreso, since I play almost nothing but (what *should* be, at least) single-player campaigns (RPG's/SRPG's, etc) - what really pisses me off, is when they try to throw 1 or 2 'multiplayer' trophies into those games...if nothing else...once the servers go down -or- if someone has weak, spotty, or NO internet access; they'll never be able to "Platinum"/"100%" the game.

Also, I remember hearing about some trophies in some games along the lines of "you must be one of the 1st (5) players to beat one of this game's 5 main developers in on-line combat" -again- creating potentially impossible trophies.

I guess that those idiotic kinds of trophies are my biggest gripe.

Taking a big break like that made me not care about them which is sad because I used to set them as a goal to get. I also used to like getting them but now its blah.

Possibly so, but, I think that since it's SO much more the exception here than it is the rule that we see/get any of it...I don't think that (w/ our present community/regulars) if a post or 2 pops-up here 'n' there that we're in any real danger of making it a habit -or- like you said, devolving into/becoming like some of the terribly, juvenile shit that's hard to avoid on G*Faq's :P

Post by: doctorlaudanum on April 27, 2013, 07:54:30 pm: I like achievements, and have a weird little Pavlovian response every time I hear the little noise when I unlock one, but I really could live without them. I would try to %100 every game before they existed, so it hasn't changed things much. But I agree with the general consensus that online achievements are just not worth getting.

As a straight female, I have to agree with insektmute that booth babes are all kinds of tacky. I don't think he's prudish for saying it. I'm not offended, but I would be if I were a straight male. See, if I walked by your booth and saw that you decked it out with booth babes, that would tell me that you think just adding eye candy would automatically make me interested in your game. It would also say that you think you have so little going for your game that you need to put up some scantily clad window dressing to get anyone's attention. Sends up all sorts of red flags. Not to mention that that one girl's zebra stripe socks are pretty ugly.

... Aaaaaaand I really went off topic. Sorry, y'all. :P

Hah. I really didn't intend to turn this into a fashion discussion. It was meant as an offhand comment. I usually don't give two flips about fashion, (usually go around in T shirts and jeans myself,) but zebra print is just all sorts of tacky to me. I do have to wonder what these girls were helping advertise, though.

But I digress. I'm not going to judge you guys (or girls) for staring. That's what eye candy is for.

Post by: scott on April 28, 2013, 02:04:43 pm: I'm with Bretty, I love me some beautiful women, but they won't lead me to buy the product they are surrounding.

There was pretty heated debate somewhere involving booth babes and Soda Pop Miniatures at one of the cons (it might have been on the Kickstarter comments for Relic Knights). There they have cosplayers dressed up as some of the main female characters in their miniatures game to "help promote" it. But considering it's all based on anime conventions a lot of people were put off by the amount of skin showing.

Personally I thought it was a cool idea for them to get people acting like characters in there game, rather than just some hot chicks in bathing suits. But I can see the point the folks were making.

anyway. Back on topic:

I also enjoy when achievements award me for something diffcult and it's an awesome feeling to pop an achievement on a game like Deathsmiles, Muchi Muchi Pork or another bullet hell shmup. Hell, the amount of work that went into finding every single flag in Assassin's Creed made those achievements feel worth while (also helps that I love that game).

Online-Only games seem different to me, than a game that has a multiplayer component. Some Single Player games don't really need a online mode, and tacking one on and then making you play it if you want to get all the achievements in the game is a joke.

Now a game like TF2. I highly doubt I'll ever be anywhere close to getting all the achievements in that game. Mainly because I won't play a class I don't enjoy playing. Which is why I generally stick to Pyro, Engineer and Sniper.

What's weird is that I find people think that when they are younger. Now this is not everyone. But I know it was like that for me and I've seen others like that too. When I was 18, I had way too many opinions on women. To be honest, it was to the point that it wasn't fair. Now.. well... it's not that cheap and fake becomes good. It's just I no longer think as many things look as cheap and fake as I once did. It's hard to explain. But the world seems more real as a person gets older. Those two girls look perfectly normal to me. Now... the 18 year old me would have thought it was cheap and fake. The current me just sees two people getting a paycheck.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird.

But I would not go over to a booth because of booth babes. I would not look at a product differently. I tend to just think they must not have a very good product. Looking at that picture, I think it is a dell monitor. This confirms one case of my bad product theory.

also, sin2beta, they're MSI booth babes.

I just Googled "booth babes" in the image search, and found one that looked nice.

But for Trophies and Achievements, I personally still find myself to gain more Achievements then Trophies.

I suppose it has something to do with me getting my XBox 360 first then my PS3 a couple of years later. Or maybe it has something to do with the game library? I have way more X360 games then PS3 games (disc and DL'ed) so maybe that's it.

That still doesn't make up for the fact that I have years of video game backlogging to deal with in terms of playing them.

Heck, I buy games and don't play them for months or even years later. I know I'll eventually open up that "Alan Wake" collector's edition or finally play Mass Effect 1. *sighs* I think I'll continue on my lonely road to the Pokemon League.

*turns on DSi XL, starts up "Pokemon Black"* (I'm only 30 hours in and I bought Pokemon Black on launch day.) :-[

That is until I sit down and pop one, then two, then tree. Then I'm all like, ooooooooooohhhhhhhh achievements (please read in drooling monotone)

I have pushed myself through games I don't want to be playing for them.
