Kind of games you just can't get into...

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

I started playing with a NES. I had hundreds of PS2 and Xbox games. Guess how many I finished? Only a handful.

But put a Platinum trophy in Plants Vs. Zombies and I'll dedicate a weekend for it.

Would I play PSOne or PS2 classics? PSP games? Wii or Wii U games? No. Reason: No Trophies/Achievements.
Wow, just wow... :shock: :facepalm:

Back before trophies, beating the game already gives me a sense of accomplishment. Now with trophies, I don't care.

This is subjective and most people will agree to this but, beating a game especially by NES standards like Contra, Gradius, Battletoads etc. is an accomplishment already. Trophies/achievements are just...proof (or not, considering they are cheatable). I don't and I won't need those to finish and complete games and I will never play something like Hannah Montana over a game like Valkyria Chronicles/Eternal Sonata/Folklore just because the former has trophies.

you mean during those nes/ps1/ps2 era naghahanap ka na ng trophies sa isang game? and kaya karamihan dun hinde mo natapos ay dahil walang trophies? you said there are a hundreds of them tapos ilan lang natapos mo? eh di bat halos lahat yun wala naman trophies ba't bumile ka pa ng a hundred titles? that's a lot and sayang yun kung ilan lang natapos mo. just asking lang. :grin:

and I agree with you about trophies bring a sense of achievements that you can always view, but for me I don't care about those. :2thumbs:

Yep. Sayang talaga. Hundreds of games talaga yun na hindi ko nalaro. And hindi ako naghahanap ng trophies nun (malay ko ba). My point is, wala lang drive to finish a game.

I'll give an example that most people can relate to. PvZ came out years in iOS. All my friends finished it. Once.

But they never got to experience what I experienced: Wave 40 onwards of pure zombie ferocity in Survival Endless Mode. When my friend saw me playing PvZ Survival Endless Mode at Wave 36, he thought I was playing a newly released sequel because of all the action. It's a game that I never would have played again (after beating Adventure Mode once) if not for those trophies. Then I would have missed out on all the fun.

Para sa akin hindi kailangan ng proof na natapos mo yung game. Basta alam mo sa sarili mo na natapos mo yung game, ok na yun. At hindi rin kailangan malaman ng iba. :grin:

no trophies = no uncharted: drake's fortune! hehehe, joke! ako hindi ako trophy hunter pero naiintindihan ko sila. para kasing ang trophy sa bawat games ay isang honor/medal or diploma na maaari mong ipagmalaki sa mga kapwa gamers. masarap nga naman sa pakiramdam pag na-achieved mo ang platinum ng isang games. Pero di ko talaga kaya maka-achieved ng Platinum trophy at wala na rin akong balak kasi it's really time consuming. gusto ko magrelax at hindi ma-extend ang stress. hahaha, i'd rather play another game.

Pareho tayo, hehe. Kung papatay lang ng oras para kumuha ng trophies, ibibigay ko nalang yung oras na yun sa bagong game.

Hindi ko talaga magustohan ang FPS. Hiniram ko Deus Ex sa pinsan ko...although ok yung game kasi may stealth, RPG elements (leveling up abilities/skills), and cover-up (IMO, this is a MUST for all games that has shooting involved)...hindi ko fully ma-enjoy kasi first person yung game. :sweat: :(

Never ako nakapaglaro ng Starcraft, Warcraft, Dota.
Hindi rin ako mahilig sa mga mmorpg although there was a time na gusto ko sana subukan yun Ragnarok during it's hype days.
Hindi ako mahilig sa mga games na may mga jump scares. Baka mamaya atakihin pa ako sa puso. Pero natapos ko naman yun Until Dawn at mga Resident Evil games sa PS3 and PS4 (most but not all of them).
Panay nga ang invite sa akin ng friend ko na maglaro daw kami ng Mobile Legend pero enjoy na ako sa Everwing para sa light relaxation. PS4 for my serious gaming hobby.

Habang inaantay ko yun western release ng Dragon Quest XI, nilaro ko ulit (via emu-roms) yun Dragon Quest 1 hanggang 7. Walang mga trophies yun.
At hindi ako trophy hunter ha. :bigmouth:

eh sa lumalabas / nag-pop yun mga trophy habang naglalaro ako... at sunod-sunod na tapos namalayan ko na lang na platinum na yun lumabas. :sweat:
minsan switch ako sa highest difficulty agad para masubukan yun challenge. Batang-NES din ako at alam naman natin kung gaano kahirap ang games noon sa NES-era.
Sa multiplayer naman, sinusubukan ko lang kung magawa ko yun mga objectives.
minsan sinusubukan ko rin yun patience ko sa pag-grind, pagpa-level-up, pag-collect ng mga items, etc.
ika-nga ine-explore ko lang yun lahat (or almost all) concepts of the game para naman pag-tangkilik sa ginawa at pinag-hirapan ng mga game devs. :bigmouth:
