Biohazard 15 th Anniversary

[ANDYARKLAY]

Some enjoy the knife and some enjoy emblem hunting and to say the former brings more satisfaction is truly subjective I know many people that would enjoy the latter more

We are just listening each other - you will not start hating achievments and me will not start liking them and i will never start thinking that achievements is good idea for classic resi.

[Jill4EverSTARS]

They that u speak of are the minority I have a full friends list and 1 out of the hundred actually tortures themselves with retarded games for trophies most people like I said go for plats for games they care about like you and re it's the same principle

Some enjoy the knife and some enjoy emblem hunting and to say the former brings more satisfaction is truly subjective I know many people that would enjoy the latter more

And you're not seeing my point going for the trophies as an incentive to play the game is the same as the replayability with a knife run you're only explaining your personal disdain for trophies but not why they're worthless

[ANDYARKLAY]

is equivalent to going for a platinum

but 5% here can get hi-rank.
Very few people has ability to get higscores,very few people has ability to have +3.0 kill ratio in multiplayer in online shooters and every newb can start playing for achievments and get them all.Noob-medals.
Its just a real rat run with achievments - everyone get nothing, many people play games which they don't like to play,most achievments takes tons of time(and you are doing the same actions in this time).
With highscores...Noone will start making highscores if he has no motivation to play the game(no motivation=no concentration=no good result).

Someone who runs the game with knife enjoys it much more than someone who run it to shoot all emblems.
I'm the fan of resident evil games so i even hacked inventory/fly out of map to know more about game.
Jill4EverSTARS, i'm not talking about you and if you enjoy earning achievements or not.

But its really for geeks(the same like WoW) to play the game without enjoying the game.I think that the games done to enjoy playing them, not to play to finish artificial requirements from devs.
They are trying to get you(not exactly you, Jill4EverSTARS - i'm speaking in general) back to the game even if you don't like it/have no(or not enough) motivation to play.

If you spend time making an ultimate strategy doesn't that show the time the game had taken on your life? You don't have to physically play the game for it to take over life LOL and I'm not a crazy trophy whore you can see my psn profile in game ranks and trophies are no different majority of trophies you'll get just by playing a game the rest is just added play it is no different then you spending time to make the ultimate strategy its all the same

To put it simply you going for top rank is equivalent to going for a platinum

[ANDYARKLAY]

the chapters are beaten in 4 seconds by the top rank I mean wtf the games can easily be hacked as well there might as well be no competition at all

glitched,not hacked.I personally know this glitch.

take "no life" to get to the top

I spent 6 hours to get rank 1 on amateur coop - just perfect strategy.I play now like 5-8 every week.
For highscores - the most interesting part for me is to make a ultimate strategy.
Top achievment players got no life - they all spend all free time.

I gave a link to prototypes but achievement discussion is more interesting for you (facepalm).
Achievement

[Darkmoon]

I personally couldn't give a crap about my Achievement List or Trophies or whatever. I've gotten something like 6000 on the 360, but only because I've been playing on it so long now. None of those games have been plastinumed, although I came close with Oblivion and it's exapansions. I just felt no need to play a few more hours and get those last few.

That said, if people get satisfaction out of it and getting points is a rewarding experience for them? Cool. So long as no one assumes someone is the world's most awesome gamer because his or her score is stupid high, or crap because it's low, who really cares?

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Trophies are not so different from any leaderboard they're both time consuming and take "no life" to get to the top and you know not everyone hacks their trophies some people work hard for them and also look at some re5 leaderboards the chapters are beaten in 4 seconds by the top rank I mean wtf the games can easily be hacked as well there might as well be no competition at all

[ANDYARKLAY]

Its a stupid comtetion between achievement geeks.Your score is not something that shows your skill or so.

My gamertag is ANDYARKLAY and i'm top 10 on most game modes of resi 5. Leaderboard
gives players a challenge.Achievments is wasting of time.Its better to use profile modding tool to unlock achievements than spend your livetime on this.

there's nothing big to be announced nor a homage to previous titles...

Here are some "new" resi games:

I disagree with all of you guys who say that gamerscore is just for people with no life or to "feed" game geeks. Sigh...

The same principle could be actually used for the ranking system of the Resident Evil games, that you praise so much. You get a reward and a review of your performance according how you play, so if you get an S rank then you have no life and are attention whores? Nope. Gamerscore, trophies, ranks, high scores are ways to reward the player for their actions, to increase competitiveness between players and more important, add some replay value for games.

If you don't like achievements or whatever, just ignore them and go for the experience, but I could talk about a bunch of games that I've replayed to get 100% GS and this let me enjoy them a second time or even get myself more involved with the story.

Alan Wake comes to mind. By "forcing" you to collect manuscript pages, you learn SOOOO much more of the game's context than just by playing the game from start to finish.

I do have a large gamerscore and I'm rather proud of it. I don't think I'm a superior being or anything because of that, I just try to enjoy my games to the fullest that I can. I don't lose sleep if I don't get a 100% completion on a game and USUALLY won't play games just for easy GS (Avatar i'm looking at you LOL).

Anyway, on topic, it's kind of sad that in this 15th anniversary there's nothing big to be announced nor a homage to previous titles... I'll celebrate this day by replaying the first PSX game. RE, thanks for the 15 years of zombie killing. I still love you as the day that I first killed a zombie on Raccoon's streets (I played RE2 first).

The pop-ups don't really bother me - it's the addictive principle of the whole system that bothers me.

[Jill4EverSTARS]

I know you can for Xbox but I'm not sure about the ps3

[let me live]

Gamerscores are just there to attract a different crowd. I don't mind them, does not affect the gameplay imposed on me in any way.

Speaking of which, isn't there an option to turn off such notifications so the pop-ups won't bother you?

[riderkid]

games i still paly no matter what that have achievments

orange box
left 4 dead
halo reach

but i see your point. still i would like it on a system where i dun have to worry about it getting lost

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Yea there are those people but for me it's different when I find a game I love getting the platinum trophy feels good if its a game you really like you want to know you achieved all there is to do in it it's a 50/50 thing there are those who go for trophies for the games they love and the trophy whores lol
