When I say 'older' I'm not necessarily referring to age, but length of time someone has been playing games. Their completely optional people love or hate them the point is their here to stay as a large community are achievement hunters, it exercises the mind.like shows skill.like arcade high scores use to back in the day and adds longetivity to games providing a extra challenge most people would beat a game then walk around saying ya im the ♥♥♥♥ i beat such and such game.now you can't lie as games have difficulty achievements, you can't have a bunch of games with hard achievements their suppose to be enjoyable or challenging, problem is some devs make annoying ones.I prefer games where they interwtine with gameplay like kill x amount of monsters.though tedius to some its no different then games where you collect stuff i can admit achievements can be stupid but not every gamer is as good at games as others so you have to remember their not put there just for you their put there for kids and adults alike and im not against admitting their a addiction to some but if it gives people something to do why not.and i didnt mean to be hostile either theres just alot of people that don't understand the achievement - judging by your earlier post, I'm guessing we're around the same vintage, so this may make sense to you, or not.Īs far as i'm able to determine, most older gamers don't really care about achievements.
