Editorial: Do Trophies, without unlockable content, artificially extend replay value?

Examiner.com - Often times, gamers will find themselves playing for the Trophy or the Gamerscore increase alone. When a gamer earns a Trophy or an Achievement, that's it -- the only reward is a small icon and increase in Gamerscore or Trophy Level. Shouldn't a gamer earning Trophies or Achievements earn more than just that, though? Doesn't a gamer deserve some reward from the game itself for demonstrating being skilled at the game? Examiner.com's Nicholas Michetti takes a look at Trophies, Achievements and why gamers strive to earn them.

I think so, yeah. I'd like to be able to 100% a game, all trophies and have something else to show for it. Like a graphics filter or an unlockable. Something we can use to play through the game again. It doesn't have to be a new level or anything just something that will give you marginal replay value would work for me.

What I'd like to see is a room in Home dedicated to the trophies you've earned. People could come in and look at your trophies in 3-d and stuff. It'd be neat. Have a room dedicated to you and your acheivments. That's what I'd like to see in Home.

Also, what if for every game we 100% completed trophy wise we got like 2 bucks store credit on the PSN? That wouldn't be bad. Maybe even a buck for a platnium trophy even. Something!!

RedDragan5645d ago

I would rather have the full game available to me as I paid for it.

I am not interested in Trophies so I don't see why I should get all the trophies for something that used to come in a game as standard after completing the single player campaign.

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit123123116d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx115d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan64115d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX250d ago (Edited 250d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne250d ago (Edited 250d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro250d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown250d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72250d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya250d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast250d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood250d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
