Sometimes I find myself wondering why we all used to play games before achievements and trophies. Yea I know that sounds stupid, we clearly all used to play games for the fun and the experience, but what I mean is why did we used to play them AFTER they'd finished?
Look at it this way, I would never have played through Uncharted Drakes Fortune on hard STRAIGHT AFTER finishing it for the first time if it wasn't for the trophies and I don't think I would have ever have bothered button mashing my way to finishing Street Fighter 4 on medium without the shining 30G at the end of the tunnel.
However this isn't always the case per se, I completed Resident Evil 4 countless times just for the bragging rights. But then again, isn't that one of the main reasons why we play games?
Apart from the fun of course.
