That's a convoluted way of saying a man bought and played a terrible game because he was conditioned to get that pop up rather than because he felt he would enjoy the game.
I figured this thread would just be about talking about achievements, not "Oh, you're an idiot if you think achievements should/shouldn't be on Switch."
Scrummer
Switch Friend Code: SW-7938-1793-3581 | My Nintendo: Scrummer
I made some progress in L.A. Noire (on Switch) in the last few days (after a new 2 hour update), and I replayed some missions for better rank and achievements, just to figure the achievement system for L.A. Noire sucks. You have to register an account on Rockstar Social Club, and then login to the website to view your stats.
Couldn't this huge publisher just make a "view achievements" option in-game? Something like what's in Shovel Knight or in countless other games by 1- or 2-man teams?
I guess I'm just playing through the story and be done with it when such a convoluted achievement system is in place.
I even got the platinum trophy in Hannah Montana on the PS3 because I wanted the platinum trophy.
Really, does any more need to be said?
A guy played a game he probably would not have otherwise had any interest in, simply because he wanted to get the platinum trophy. I’ve had similar experiences.
So, not only are trophies fun as hell to chase, but they have the added advantage of encouraging people to play games they might not have otherwise even tried. And oftentimes, those people end up genuinely enjoying the game.
No, nothing else needs to be said. Take your foot out of your mouth and stop imposing your terrible opinion on other people.
Exactly. Sometimes the games I play are crap but I just want the trophies. And sometimes I find games that were actually really good and I never would have played them without the trophies.

Why people feel the need to bash someone for playing any game is beyond me. Who are any of you to judge what games people play?? You seem annoyed that I played a bad game because I wanted the trophies. It was a 2 hour platinum game and I knew that. I knew it was a bad game from the very start but I did not care. I got what I was after and the developer made an extra sale. And when I was done with the game I gave it to my daughter. Again, trophies help promote sales and for many games it extends the gaming experience.
If only there was a way to find these hidden gems without having to play crap games to completion. Thank goodness for achievements.
There are other ways. You wait for people like me who are collecting trophies to say they found a hidden gem. Then you can stop crying about how other people spend their spare time and money.

Not only did you reward a developer for making a terrible game, you inflicted said game upon your poor daughter? For shame sir, for shame.
@MarcelRguez Quite a few actually. I will post some of them later. But knowing you, you will just say something like "that is not a gem, it is only a 7 on metacritic"
Most of the "hidden gems" I found on the PS Vita. A few on the PS4 and XB1 as well.
@lethal Why bother? You don’t have to justify or prove anything to a handful of ornery, self-righteous jackasses who think their opinion is important enough to speak against the majority of players who absolutely want to see achievements on the Switch.
This decision won’t be made here, and it sure as hell won’t be decided by some of the ridiculous, delusional opinions presented in this thread.
Screw ‘em. Don’t waste your time. These clowns would (and probably will) argue in front of a mirror of you didn’t give them an outlet.
I hope achievements come to the Switch. I know you do too, as do the majority of us. These guys, and their trashy, bitter opinions, don’t matter. Not one bit.
Here’s the bottom line:
The three largest gaming platforms in existence have an achievement/trophy system. In fact, demand was so high, that Sony had to add trophies mid-generation, and implement them retroactively into existing games.
These systems were implemented because the overwhelming majority of players wanted them. Period. There would have been no other feasible cause.
If Nintendo wants to be taken seriously as a gaming platform, they will catch up with achievements and cloud saves. And all of the whiny protesting from a small, albeit loud, minority won’t change that.

Again I would like to see some proof that the majority of gamers want "achievements" on the Switch.

It isn't mandatory on Steam, which suggests that it isn't essential. How did those poor PS3 players enjoy their games without "achievements?"

Or because people with a touch of OCD would buy terrible games just for a few imaginary reward points. I think lethal has already made that point clear.

I'm not the one whining that Nintendo doesn't have an "achievement" system. You've also no evidence to show that you aren't the minority (FYI, "because you say so" isn't evidence).
To be fair, there's people that want achievements and there are those that don't. I personally would love to see them, it gives an extra dynamic to playing games, doing something or going for something that you may not have normally done so.
Those who don't want them though, what harm does it do to you? Does it affect the way you play games? I wouldn't have thought so, albeit a little pop up every now and then when you get something, it doesn't take anything away to you playing the game.
This is why I don't understand people arguing over it.
I think the general feeling is that those that don't want achievements would be fine if they could be turned off and not be visible at all when playing. I'm down with that. I really would like to see a system implemented, but can understand why others don't see the attraction. A simple on/off switch for notifications in the settings menu would solve this (or I have this completely wrong).
He’s an irrelevant troll, desperately fighting for recognition and validation. He actually thinks dissecting text and offering up failed, obnoxious attempts at wit is impressive to anyone aside from his mother.
It really baffles me how you can not just simply say that achievements are not for you but can understand why many out there enjoy them. Nintendo should bring some sort of similar system to their console since the other consoles do have them and are enjoyed by many gamers out there.
