What if the PS3 or Vita never had trophies?

[yellowwindow7]

as much as graphics don't make a good game even trophies don't make a game better, MGS4 didn't have trophies back at the time and damn it's a very good game, same goes with Uncharted drakes fortune without trophy patch or ninja gaiden sigma sure it's old and hard as hell but it's a damn fun hack & slash game, the Wii U released at this generation where trophies and achievements are common among gamers these days and the Wii U don't have them, the Wii U sales are so poor due to the lack of games not trophies or achievements.

 

so, i bet the ps3 will still be a good console due to the huge selection of good exclusives, games is what made the consoles not the features or looks or the controllers.

The PS1 and PS2 were both fun without trophies, the PS3 was still fun before it had trophies.

Not having trophies really wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm glad they did add them because they're really fun to get.

If they never had trophies then I would never have been so spoiled. I often don't have much interests in games without trophies, though I did still really enjoy Saints Row 2.

It wouldn't be any different than owning a PS2, playing for the enjoyment of it solely

I would still be enjoying and playing the same games I've been playing but I wouldn't go for as many 100% as I have. Plus my backlog would probably be a lot smaller since I wouldn't be going for so many 100% lol

I would probably never play games on the hardest difficulty or do something like the challenges in Saints Row.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder really troubles me for playing games because of earning trophies, I would have been much appreciated if there had been no achievement or trophy system in the world. So if there were no trophies, I would play games for entertainment more attentively instead of playing for trophies.

I've become a FAR better gamer ever since trophies where made, and i wouldn't of discovered half of the titles i know and love today if it wasn't for them.

then I would call it an Xbox360.

then I would call it an Xbox360. 

 

Lolwut. The 360 had it's "achievements" before the PS3 had the trophies.

 

I'd just spend less time on certain games than others I suppose, in response to the topic. Trophies really are whatever you make them out to be. I try to think they're more of a hobby than a must have in games, especially considering I  can play my 3DS just fine. Then again I do tend to max things out even on that more now.
