    I think I'm starting to get to that point where every game I play (if it has trophies) I'm going to go for the full 100%. As long as it doesn't involve buying DLC in order to get a trophy or two(such a stupid idea)

    not really, i try to get as many as i can when i play games with them but i don't think about it all the time. 
    most of my friends on my friends list do. 
    a lot of my friends who have ps3's have more trophies than me and they all like to act like they're the shit, so i need to step up my game.

    I could care a less about any trophies or achievements of any kind, unless its literally something that actually sounds cool to do, or I can easily pull off, otherwise I never play just to try to get a trophy/achievement.

    I have more platinums than you but you have 50 more trophies. I hate you.

    No I'm not hooked -- *nervous glance*

    Nah, dude. I don't care about trophies or achievements and that makes me better than you. You're a total loser if you try to get them.



    Man, don't you hate people like that?

    Yeah, I guess. I probably won't go for (or even get) any platinums and I don't have too many games with trophies, but I'm Level 5 and a half or so. Good enough.

    No, the fact that when I finally do get a ps3, I wont get trophies for Metal Gear and... whatever other good sony exclusive games were out there. I am, however, hooked on phonics.

    I go for any ones that seem doable with a reasonable amount of time.  I'll go for a few golds, but most of the platinums I've seen are either impossible or take way too much time (of course, based on hardest gold).  Golds are a good challenge and I get some sense of accomplishment from silvers and golds.

    Welcome to the achievement/trophy addiction.  I find myself doing everything short of starting the game over just to get every audiotape/dog tag/flag in the game.  I know way ahead of time that that I am simply not going to get every achievement for every game.

    I think I'm in the middle. I've heard that you're not an "Achievement whore" unless you'll play a game just for its points (i.e. you'll play a game you otherwise wouldn't have ever played) (i.e. Jeff). I won't ever do that, but I do try, with reckless abandon, to get all the Trophies in all the games I have. I won't spend money on things I wouldn't otherwise spend it on like expansions or crappy downloadable games (stop buying Novastrike you dirty fucking whores!) but I'll work my ass off in a game I already like. And with that, I have to go get the last two Resistance 2 single player Trophies.

    I love trophies, so I'm hooked on them, but I'm not as crazy as some of you people.  I'm level 5, but I can't imagine the work that went into getting to level 9.  Do you have every game with trophies, or how did you get so far up there?  I try to get as many trophies as I can, but I have to really...really love a game to go for 100%.  The only game I've done it on so far is Uncharted.

    Dude, I'm the same way.  I'm obsessed over trophies.  I try to get the full 100 percent but I hate the games that require online trophies where you need the help of random people.  Those trophies annoy the hell out of me.  Nobody cooperates with you.  And I hate the trophies that require ridiculous amounts of points to achieve, like warhawk.  I gave up on that game.  Other then that, I try my best to get all the trophies.

    Depends on the game... If I like the game, I'll go for the Platinum (Uncharted and Burnout Paradise; working on Fallout 3). Resistance 2, however... I refuse to work on that one. =P

    I haven't even really started to 100% on trophies for certain games depending on if they are too hard to get.

    I'll go for platinum for the games that I really like. With others I'm okay on getting just what comes on a first playthrough.

    I won't really be able to get into the whole trophy thing until it becomes a standardized feature - available in every game.

    trophies came too late.  i mean, i'd rather they were there than not.  but i've gotten too far with 360 achievements.  i'm not even an achievement-guy but i've been getting them accidentally for so long that now i've started to take interested.  now it usually is the reason why i buy multiplatform games on xbox 360
