Wade_VC Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 As the title states, will you play a game that does not support trophies, or are trophies an important part of your gaming? As for me, I will indeed play games that do not have trophies. Although trophies are fun to get, I have never put the earning of trophies above the enjoyment of a game.

Dreakon139 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm softening up to trophy-less games nowadays, though I'm still in the "I won't buy it unless it has trophies" boat for the most part. I've been tempted to give MGS4 another shot a few times lately. That said, the question isn't whether or not I'd buy it... it's if I'd play it. So yeah, if a game were set in front of me that I was interested in (in some fashion) I'd definitely give it a spin. Whether or not I'm enthralled enough to play through the whole thing is questionable though, but that's not necessarily trophy related. I'll vote yes.

DaRe Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 i've now reached the point to where i no longer have a need for more trophies, maybe 100 more then it's back to casual gaming. so i can play games without trophies, as long as i enjoy the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqweek Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm of the same opinion as Dreakon. However, in my pursuit of achievements/trophies, I've come across some gems that I wouldn't have played otherwise (Darksiders for example) and completed them on both 360 and PS3. There's no doubt there are some great games (MGS4 springs to mind) without trophies and I'm sure I will play them at some point, however, the lack of trophies has pushed them down my priority list. I find the whole trophy/no trophy debate a double-edged sword but interesting to see others point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-BOW Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Of course I will. Trophies are fun but they shouldn't be the focus of gaming. I just started up Deus Ex on my computer again. It is one of the best games I have ever played and obviously doesn't have trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daementium Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yes I will. I wouldn't want to miss out on a great game because it doesn't have something like trophies implanted in it no matter how enjoyable it is to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairozen Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 As i have said before, the game will either have to be a beloved classic, or a near-flawless expeirience. For example- Jak & Dxter Sly Cooper Mario series Galaga Folkore Games like these that you can always have fun with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExertimJP Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 If the game is good, I'll play it regardless of it having trophy support or not. Case in point: Valkyria Chronicles. Trophy-less games are pretty rare nowadays, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azakos Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 To this day I'm still playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It is without a doubt one of my favorite games. I've never thought twice about the fact that it didn't have trophies (not true, I'm just saying that lol). I also like to revisit the Ratchet & Clank series for some good ole nostalgia marathons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 i dont care.....hell, as soon as i get the money, im going to buy back a lot of my old PS2 games, and some new ones. I'm just not a big fan of many games these days, too many shooters for my taste, needs to be more variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Trophy-less games are pretty rare nowadays, though. Trophies are required nowadays. The only games that get away with it are re-releases of games that didn't have trophies initially (Oblivion, MGS4, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgitsbounce Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yes totally, one hundred percent. Some of my favorite games are pretrophy. Everyday Shooter, and MGS4 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksite Area 51 Although not the best of games I have played, it isn't as bad as what the reviewers made it out to be neither. If you can find it cheap enough, I'd say give it a go...you just may enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbz Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 yes i would, and i actualy do, quite often. i play PS2, GBA, PC, Wii, PSP, and older ps3 games because they're enjoyable. I would rather play metal gear solid 4 than play terminator salvation or hannah montana just for trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, I regularly play games with no trophies. I'm a big gaming fan so I have a lot of systems (Vectrex, Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, NES, SNES, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Sega Genesis, 32X, Sega CD, N64, Magnavox Odyssey, Commodore 64, TurboGrafx-CD, Neo-Geo, Neo-Geo CD, Atari Jaguar, Panasonic 3DO, Sega Dreamcast, among others and that doesn't even include my handhelds. I have just about every system released since the PS1 as well but didn't figure I needed to list those) and the vast majority of my systems don't have any sort of trophy or achievement support. I do enjoy trophies, but I never go out of my way to get them and I won't play an easy game that I don't think I will enjoy just for trophies. That would explain why I only have one platinum (I'll have #2 soon when I complete a few more things in GT5) but my son is starting to get interested in games so I may have some kiddie games on my account soon.

Spark-N Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 yeah, i think they're called 360 games, as far as i know they dont have Trophy Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoimia Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, I will. Though unless you're buying older games, the question is a bit meaningless these days, since all new games have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDKSimba Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 no I wouldn't. ever since the trophy system got introduced it seems unrewarding to play games without trophies. it's My motivator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurryMcMemes Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Absolutely I do it all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Absolutely, yes. I got my PS3 on the back of games like Heavenly Sword, The Darkness, Burnout Paradise, Rock Band, Civ Rev, MGS4 and Fallout 3 in the days before trophy patches. I've been revisiting some older games I neglected like Resistance Fall of Man and Mass Effect (on 360) lately to get up to speed on the storyline for their trophy-enabled sequels. It's been a more relaxing experience to just play the game for it's own sake rather than to exert mental energy worrying about missable trophies. I've also made a conscious decision not to subscribe to XBL so I avoid the Achievements trap on that system. I like my trophies, but I'm not interested in Steam or XBL achievements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
