Eskimo Press: A few years ago I was first introduced to the concept of achievements(trophies if you‘re a PlayStation-person) in video-games. I believe it was when I bought my first Xbox 360 (and yes, I say first because as many of us know, some of those 360's weren‘t built to last) that these little badges of honor started mattering to me, for better or worse.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
They are games within a game, and I am okay with that.
As long as I am having fun doing so, I go for whatever achievements possible. If they are going to hamper the fun I have with the game, then I don't even bother with it.
Achievements/trophies only mattered to me when I was single. Pretty sure there is a correlation there.
I like Achievements because it gives you something of a record of the games you've completed. I don't care about getting them to one-up someone and I don't compete in any way with them, I just enjoy them as a personal thing. I do wish the Wii U had them, I remember the hubbub when the PS3 launched without an Achievement system and people flipped out, not sure why Nintendo wouldn't eventually institute a system with the Wii U.
They're ok I'm just not gonna let them affect my decision on which next gen machine to purchase first. I hate feeling like I'm locked into any one ecosystem and achievements are part of MS's customer hostage taking strategy, along with online fees and mii style avatars. I guess home, PS+ and trophies are Sony's.
i like story based achivements so i know i can talk to a friend about a game & not spoil something in the story because he already got the achivemement.
