Pount/Counterpoint: Trophies? What Trophies?

dxmnecro | July 10, 2008 | Blog | Playstation 3 
Peter Skerritt, Managing Editor, and Jason Large, Staff Writer, from GamePlasma argue for and against the latest feature added to the Playstation 3. Whether you are for or against the trophy system, these guys have it covered.
By now, anyone who cares knows that Firmware 2.40 was released about a week ago and that the 2.41 fix is on the way for those who had problems with 2.40. The highly anticipated update featured a slew of new features, including the very coveted trophies. Sadly, once again Sony has managed to fumble the ball with their complete lack of support for trophies.

    Please excuse my bad language...

    What the *bleep* is wrong with you people and Trophies? Maybe it's that your Achievement system feels inadequate next to Trophies. Or maybe it's because you're afraid someone else is getting the better deal. Or maybe it's because article authors like this are so pissy with console competition that they need to make five articles per-day comparing the two to make themselves feel good. I don't know, but this is F'ing ridiculous.

    You people need lives.
    ---
    Any further articles concerning this kind of comparison, in my opinion, need to be rejected.

      I wouldn't say that exactly. But I'm glad I got the point across that there's nothing wrong with Trophies.

      To finish first, first you need to finish...how can Sony's Trophies be better than the achievements? How many games that are out now on store shelves support Trophies? One, what maybe two?

    Funny how most of you guys are sounding like Sony fanboys when someone complains about a feature, regardless of it coming out, it has flaws.

    They're entitled to their opinion about Trophies

        There's a trend of people posting opinion-articles (I wouldn't even call them editorials at this point) on GG, hoping to get a few hits. I can't even be bothered to read most of them anymore.

      FB...that's just stupid. We are NOT acting like fanboys, we are simply sick of people trying to downplay a week-old feature that really has nothing wrong with it.

        It has flaws Red you yourself has stated this in the PS3 general forums yes?
        The trophies aren't retroactive and barely any support of them atm. Especially downloading multiple patches is a pain in the rear.

        How is opinion not news?

          It has no flaws in the way it functions. Trophies will catch on, I'm sure of it.

          I see your point, Final Blade. I can see how opinions can be news, I was just being a smartass.

          Sorry

          FB...tell me you didn't just ask that.

          Ladies...Gentlemen...Gamerscore, Gamerlevel...who gives a silly *bleep*? Stick with whatever the hell fits your godamned fancies. Honestly these are the people that post shit like this to feel smart and to drive YOUR opinion of each...and it's even worse when people who don't know both wanna have a say in this.
