| If they are "fun" and there is some kind of reward, then yeah I would say so. The achievements in Portal 2 are just freakin hilarious, not to mention some of them have great reactions from the characters (smashing the TVs and hearing Wheatley complain about it). WoW can sometimes give you pets or other neat things for achievements, and Borderlands would give you an XP boost for getting some achievements. Starcraft II also gave things like a new portrait with various achievements you'd get. As for a straight-up "Look at my room of trophies with no effect on the actual game whatsoever", it's kind of cheap and lazy way to coax more gameplay out of someone. Digital bragging rights are just sorta...meh to me. When it unlocks something in-game, then I find it intriguing. |
 |
| Usually, I do. Most of them are relatively easy, for example, a major trophy in shooter games are headshots. Killing every enemy with a headshot is way more fun than random gunning. That's just my perspective. But no collectibles or story replays, fuck those. |
| Depends on my interest level of the game |
 |
| No they don't correlate to skill they correlate to how much time you sink into a game doing stupid niche things or how many people you have to farm them with should their be versus achievements to earn. The only ones I get are the completion achievements, but that's not out of collecting them that's out of my liking to finish games. If I'm one away from completing the entire game I might go finish out the game just because. Mostly achievements create people who think they correlate to skill which then you find people that have boosted achievements that think they're good because they have X or Y achievement, but a lot of the time they're terrible at the game they've boosted to get the achievements on. Gears in particular comes to mind with the Horde achievements, you could earn with modifiers or leeching onto a group which most that had them did and were abysmal themselves or stomped off if they didn't get everything their way since that's the only way they could actually play the game usually in a way that cheesed the game. |
 |
| At first not, but once I finish the original plot of the game, I go for the achievments as long as the game is good enough to invest more time in it. |
| In my favourite games, I strive to get all the achievements. |
| Yes and no. I don't play for achievements, but I do like to go for all of them if it's a game I love. It gives the game an extra sense of longevity. Assassin's Creed II, for example, is one of my favorite games to get 100% on. It also adds an extra incentive to try other play styles or methods. I started a new Xbox profile and I'm finding it refreshing to be able to play old favorites again and see achievements pop-up when I make progress on them again. |
 |
| Not usually. However, if there is a game I'm really into, I'd be more interested in trying to attain all the achievements to feel a sense of completion for that game. |
 |
| I like to complete as much as I can, I've finished a few games 100% before although if I find some achievements too fucked up, I'll be happy with at least 90% completion. |
 |
| I used to, now I only care about finishing the main missions and such as fast as possible. |
 **☾** |
| Not at all. Just want to have fun completing the game. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I prefer to just play the game instead of worrying about achievements. So no. |
| As long as they're not near impossible to obtain. But in most cases, yes I do care because I want to challenge myself or I want to do something challenging. |
 |
| Most are too fiddly or difficult or time consuming for my liking. Others rely too much on luck. I like getting achievements but I don't go out of my way for ones that I consider too much effort. |
 |
| Only if they're not completely stupid AND long, like needing to devote hours doing something that isn't fun at all. I can enjoy difficult challenges, enjoy collecting stuff and exploring the map in detail to fin secret place and secrets for example, and I don't mind achievements that can be done with not so much time spent "on the way" of the normal course of play, but retarded challenges that go against any idea of fun and takes a long time to do on top of this are a big NO. Why would anyone think it's good to have that type of achievement is beyond me. |
 |
| If I like the game, I'll try to get them all. |
| I spent my time doing some achievement hunting for the better part of the year. it turned into just a real huge grind and stressing over leaderboards so I stopped. sounds silly, but I get competitive over things. |
| I usually don't care when it comes to most games, but if it's a game I really love and enjoy playing then I definitely will try to get all the achievements. But otherwise I don't. |
SnugglyWhuggly said: Anyhow: Do you care about achievements in games? Beyond "oh hey I guess there's this feature to check out", not really. I do not challenge myself based on "oh there's an achievement", and I'm actually happy that I'm on a platform (Windows PC) that doesn't prioritize them that much, because I'd be more annoyed if it did. Rather, I often come up with my own "achievements", such as "beat all the final bosses in a row without dying" even if the dev didn't make an achievement for it. More typically this has to do with my being a completionist -- I want to find all the log books, or fill the bestiary, or explore the entire map, or talk to all the NPCs, and so on. So basically I ignore existing achievements and play however I want. If doing so unlocks existing achievements, cool. But I'm not going to waste time beating up 5000 goblins for an achievement, or playing through insane super hell difficulty when I don't feel like doing so. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I'm actually neutral between care and don't care at all but, the majority of my gaming experiences, I usually care more about achievements because you got a goal of what you gonna do in the game and you feel that you've earn it and you should feel proud of it for what you've get. It will be the most satisfying experience to get :D |
 |
| No, unless it's the only thing to motivate me to do stuff in a game. |
| Nah, achievements and trophies mean nothing to me in games. Long as I can play and enjoy the game, everything is fine |
| it kinda depends what game i'm playing . If it's a story mode with collective items i like to collect them all. I played tomb raider till i got that platinum. yes it took FOREVER, but i felt very satisfied at the end lol |
   |
| Overall for all games, not really. I used to but not anymore. However, sometimes I do go for achievements that seems challenging. |
| I don't get that feeling of accomplishment when i get an achievement. Especially the time consuming ones. So I just ignore them. |
| No because i play video games to have fun not be a completionist unless its getting the best endings in certain games |

| 100% all of my games on ps3 and xbox, but i want to take a break from that on the pc |

| I just assume everyone went uheuhe achievements suck etc, they are a trend, but like everything else in a game they could be used in some clever way and some games probably went there regardless of completion/boring boringness. |

| Hey, atleast we have something to achieve in a game so why not? |
| Nope, as long as I complete the main storyline it's considered complete for me, though I want to get the Final Words achievement on Nier Automata soon |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Not really. Only maybe I like the game enough, so naturally I usually get most the achievements no problem. |
| only if you are unlocking something like in battlefield 4 |
 |
| I always try to 100% a game if I can - it's really fun and satisfying. It dependens if the game has multiplayer achievements or impossibly frustrating achievements - fuck that. If they do, I complete the ones I can and leave rest of the achievements unfinished. |
 |
| Yes, I do care about achievements in the games especially the hardest mode. |
  notice the people who are happy for your happiness, and sad for your sadness. They're the ones who deserve special places in your heart. Not all those who wander are lost |
| Well me and my friends started a stupid competition years ago who could get the most achievements on xbox 360 ,,,,I won =P years later I dont care as much but I try to build my count everyday if I got time =P My goal is to reach 1 million points before I die =P almost halfway there But it have to be fun also .Not going for achievement points if its going to be too big of a hassle, and take away the enjoyment of the game!  |

| I personally don't care for the trophies/achievements that are artificially made by developers. I do, however, like to make my own challenges. When I used to actively play Borderlands 2, I would frequently do playthrough limiting myself to just white gear (which is the lowest tier in Borderlands) or do something else that would restrict my gameplay in a fun way. For example, people who do no death or no hit runs in Souls series, that's an excellent achievement that requires immense skill and knowledge of the game. Compare that to "collect 30 of these things in that area" kind of achievements made by developers and you will see that a lot of these pre-made achievements are neither fun nor challenging. |
| No i do not, not even remotely. |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| If it's a game I really like I aim for 100%..but I mostly do so with any game anyway. I'm aiming for greatness. |
 |
| The only games I've strived to get all the achievements in was for MW2/MW3 getting all the weapons titles on the xbox 360. But modders ruined the whole thing and I ended up being reset/boosted a million times over and lost all my progress constantly. Shame really. |
 |
| I'm not really a completionist so I don't care that much about achievements. If they look fun, I'll make an effort. But it's not a priority. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| Only if I get suckered in the game. Bloodborne and Wolfenstein: TNO were the only games I've ever 100%ed, and I think I'll do that for Hitman 2016 next. (and of course lego star wars on the original xbox when I was a kid) |
