[quote name='YodaEXE']See, I've found myself to be the opposite. I find that I have no real attachment to my trophies. I mean sure, I'll go and try to get trophies in the games I have, but I don't put too much effort into it unless I really like the game. Achievement points on the other hand I will go out of my way to get, as I have an attachment to my gamerscore. I look at my trophy card and see that I'm level 4, and go "Oh, well I suppose that's nice." On the other hand, I look at my GT and see that I'm 110 points away from 14,000 and it drives me that much harder to pick up more games and replay some of the ones I've already got in order to hit that next mark.[/QUOTE]
Well, I'm up around 35K and maybe it just starts to feel pointless after a while. Sure, it would be nice to break 50K but I'm not going out of my way to do it. In fact, I have a ton of games in the backlog that I could do that with easily.
I guess what I was trying to say is it isn't the levels so much on the PS3 - it is the platinums. It just seems pointless to grind for 100 hours on some 360 game to get 1000/1000 when all you get is just a few more points than you get from the same game by only playing it for 30 or so (like, you can usually get 700-800 or so without too much trouble). Yet on the PS3 that grinding or tricky play results in at least the platinum to show off. Yeah, sure, it's all meaningless in the end, but I guess if I'm going to do it at all I'd prefer to do it where it is more obvious. There are still some 360 games I'll want to max out. I just finally got my 1250 on Beautiful Katamari for example. And I want to do it on Oblivion (as I'm already 80 hours into it anyway). But on games like Star Wars Force Unleashed I don't see the point of playing all those hours to get 1000/1000 when I could get those last 300-400 points just as easily off some other game in 1/10th the time and it makes no difference on your total gamescore. Yet on the PS3 I'll end up with a platinum if I grind it out. Make sense?
