But I do enjoy the fact that I cannot beat he game. But I stopped playing it as my nightly break to try and get a few achievements (trophies in SSHD). What a great game. I'm glad it brought me back to playing and I see The Wretched has beat my score so that will be my summer goal to get back on top. See trophies promote gameplay. Encore is still kicking my ass.

It did make me turn on SSHD and play for a few hours though. I generally only go after the attainable trophies that aren’t leagues outside of the normal gameplay.

As for SS:HD i only got past the fist planet a few months ago, tried again last night and i just don't have the right amount of twitch to beat most levels on this game...must try harder! Must say i am glad that Burnout and Warhawk will be dishing trophies out retrospectively as i have earned a lot in these games and wouldn't want to start again....much like Gary and PJM!

Trophies will make you play a game a little bit differently to how you usually would. The Rainbows in PJM are exactly the same as a Trophy, so this kind of little extra motivation to continue playing a game longer than you normally would is a good thing. I already think that Trophies are a good thing for PS3 gamers and I'm really looking forward to seeing how future games implement them. Oh and Darrin, by your definition I'm a nerd for getting all the Rainbows on PJM Encore and I'm damn proud of that achievement. :wink: Nerds unite!! 8) Spot on mcloki.

I like the idea of recognition for doing something cool, but I hate the stupid things like beating a level. I think people are going to play stupid games like Barbies Big Adventure just to get their total gamer level to go up and brag about it. Good for Sony for adding them though, it's gonna raise sales to people who base their decisions for buying on achievements.

INstead of just zerg rushing through a game, this lets the developers have you try something different. Everyone needs clues to do a little exploring in a game. Achievements have been in games since the beginning. Every since you got a bonus for hitting the UFO in Space invaders to Avoiding the lightning 200 times in FFX. Now this is just a way to track things you've done. Since the world has gone online. You can brag to your friends overseas. Instantly. I think people will get into them. I've gone through R&C three times already. I'd love the chance to let Insomniac tell me you can beat a level with only the wrench. It's difficult, but worth it. I get a prize but also an experience that I wouldn't have thought of on my own and I get a carrot for trying and succeeding. It also does one thing for developers. It makes you keep the game longer. I've already seen MGS and GTA4 in the used games stores. If these trophies keep games out of resale store for even a week that will mean more sales for the developers. DLC works the same way. And at the end of the day i don't begrudge Insomniac trying to make more money. Just keep making great games. Trophies are a great way to expand on the gameplay of a given game.
