And apparently “it only takes developers half a days work to implement the trophy system into their games.” Sounds good.

In all my 28 years gaming, there have been precious few games I’ve had any inclination to go back and replay… which is why the 360′s achievements have never been a big attraction for me, and why I’m not particularly bothered about the new Trophy system either.

I like to complete games as far as the story goes, but I’m rarely interested in gathering collectibles. Uncharted is the only game in recent memory where I bothered to do so, and that was because it was just so much fun to play, and had a great story. I can’t be bothered getting 100% on GTA IV with or without trophies, and while I’ll play MGS4 through a few more times, I’m just not interested in finding everything there is to find.

To be honest, I’d rather developers didn’t bother with collectibles, and put the extra effort into making longer stories for games. I don’t want to spend another 8 hours looking for things in levels I’ve already completed… give me another 8 hours of actual gameplay!

i’m about to do the boss emblem on mgs4 but i might as well wait?
