Opinion: Trophies & Achievements – The Lock In Mechanism For Next-Gen
The next generation of games consoles is coming. The PS4 has had its day in the spotlight and we know it will be arriving in at least 1 territory in 2013. We now know that Microsoft’s next console will be announced on the 21st of May . The Wii U is already out in the wilderness, trying its best to increase its market share. Progression to the next generation has begun.
Consumers are soon going to be making their mind up on which consoles to buy from the next-gen offerings. Many different factors are going to effect Peoples decisions – Price, Technical Specs, Games, Services – but have Microsoft & Sony already locked their existing customer base into their next product?
Ben Sledge from TheGamer Writes "I’m already impressed with Supergiant’s commitment to improving body diversity in the Hades 2 technical test."
Players are taking to Reddit to let Bethesda know they want ghoulification added to Fallout 76 in a future update.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga, though nothing new and has some story issues, is still a love letter to Contra fans just wanting to shoot stuff."
well understandably if you have a considerable amount of trop/achie it might influence your decision but you ain't locking down no one. FREEDOM!!
I agree with this article! I was predominantly pc gaming and I just enjoyed the games but I switche and I'm hooked on trophies and I think achievements are stupid. It's crazy for me to think one ditigal award is better than another but it's true
Trophies and achievements are just a bonus, no (good) game ever needed them...
I care more about transfering my paid content . It's a requirement . Otherwise i might still get your console but will as long as digital aint the default choice , will avoid purchasing any digital version from you .
If anything for trophies they should consider at least marking down what's ps3 and what's not , over merging some total scores
I'd like to see all the trophy hackers taken off the list.... CFW users, account sharing, online pay for trophy services, boosters, glitchers on and on. So many fake BS trophy accounts.
