Why are Xbox achievements so rewarding? Why are Steam achievements so uneventful?
>>
>>331482338
achievements killed my interest in trying new things. ill never play a game unless i look up the achievements and make sure theres not needlessly difficult time wasters. achievements should be deletable if you dont want to complete the game. fuck you OP.
>>
>>331482606
Can't you just ignore them?
>>
>>331482641
That would require not being autistic.

Holy shit

Xbox 360 felt good. I am not feeling it anymore on Xbox One. Plus achievements feel too silly now as you would have to complete games twice as they can also have PC lists.
>>
>>331482338
Most people just cheat for the steam achievements
>>
Because they give you a worthless point system to brag about and be proud of.
>>
Steam doesn't have gamerscore.

There's no reason for achievements on Steam, it's retarded.

Steam cheevos doesn't have a cool sound effect.

Forgot to mention that the interface is kinda shitty, so that also adds up to the blandness

I wish the Steam Overlay was better.

You don't HAVE to care about it ya know, the fact that it doesn't reflect anything other than how autistic enough you are to put the hours in to get rare ones means nothing to people who aren't equally as autistic.

When they started adding them for Netflix and Twitch and shit it ruined the whole thing in one retarded decision.

Also friend me back msgates123 you mother fucker

I like trophies

I think it was that satisfying kachunk noise.

What did the noise sound like again?
>>
Because xbox achievements make a loud noise and it makes you feel good about yourself and you're 12

Those achievements are worth 0 points l. Also the best achievements for epeen are the ones from trueachievements.com. Always been always will.

>Why are Steam achievements so uneventful?
>No good sound for it as soon as you unlock one.
>At any moment you can just instantly give yourself achievements with no repercussions via SAM.
>Does nothing to your account, no points, no level increase, it's just there.

Its the sound effect, presentation and numbers, it feels like something is getting put into your bank account. It's psychologically mastered to make you feel like you've earned a little something.

Trophies are a poor mans cheevos

Steam isnt even trying

Tfw got my xbox 360 back in 2008
Tfw never completed a full achievement list since then

Am I the only one here? Don't go bragging about how you got all the achievement of some indie shit. That doesn't count
>>
>>331488349
I don't mind trophies but the platinum can be broken when one trophy is no longer obtainable such as an online one. With achievements and DLC you can surpass 1000 in a game quite easily now.

Also there is this one Cars game on 360 that had any unlock all achievements achievement that never seemed to unlock. They never patched it.

>>331488564
I have 120k but haven't played games regularly on Xbox for years.

>You were the kill that made them earn it

Steam achievements suck because:

>no sound / animation when unlocking
>no points attached to them, making the harder one worth more than easy ones
>no total point system on your profile

Some of the shitty titles I've played. I did do Gears on 360 but couldn't be bothered doing it all again on PC.
