I like them. They're nothing more than a unified unlockable system that spans multiple games. Instead of having seperate games track whatever you're doing (Kostaki's Battle Trophies example is good, one could mention the Challenge Board in Brawl too, there's plenty of others), it's just simplified and easier to deal with.

The only problem with the system is that too many of them are ridiculous. Some games get it right (Crackdown, Forza 2, Bioshock), some get it so-so (Blue Dragon, Over-G Fighters), and some get it horribly wrong (Avatar, Chromehounds). It's a crapshoot as to what's worth going for and what's not, but that's like a lot of unlockables in traditional systems too.

The thing is, they're only worth going for if you have fun doing it. You don't NEED a reward for doing it. Unlocking them should be the fun of it. If you don't enjoy it, don't do it. It seems silly to dislike them and think they detract from something. Just don't go for it if you don't care. I don't see how it's ruining the game.

Unless it's multi and people disrupt games trying to get them, that's a big problem. Boosting's all fine if you're not annoying other people doing it, but if you are, that's just out and out griefing.

I'd like some more Trophy support on PS3 titles too, by the way.

No, it wouldn't have. Devs determine what achievements their games have and what the point value for that is. Difficulty doesn't correspond with point value. You'd be giving some people free content for no work and some for some actually difficult tasks.

Not only that, free games for playing games in and of itself is retarded. Thinking "well, it could have worked" is completely ridiculous.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And I'd like free groceries because I eat a lot. Still a ludicrous idea.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I love this shit. Then DON'T GO FOR IT, SMARTASS.

If you're testing it to make sure it pops, that's your job. But if you're just playing the game, fucking ignore them and move on. They are not DETRACTING FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE. Why do you make it out like they are? No one's going to care if you have them or not, they're there for your own enjoyment if you decide to pursue them. That's all.

Fucking rocket science here.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
