So does anyone feel like steam achievements dont feel the same way as the console couterparts?

[Darkstaru]

I own a ps4, and I love to earn trophies, I will spend hours trying to get a platnium trophy, but when I play steam games I don't feel that same urge, anyone else feel the same?

Not sure what kind of online/MP games you have been playing on the PC in the past ten or so years, but pretty much every multiplayer game community I have encountered has been extremely toxic and immature to a point where the best way to enjoy a game is to disable the chat and avoid others as much as possible.

Maybe console games are even worse (I wouldn't know), but I think the elitist view that PC gamers are more mature and laid back is largely just a self-serving delusion.

Alliance of Valiant Arms, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Payday: The Heist and Payday 2.
The thing is that console players are kinda stuck in a closed environement where they can't avoid the same kind of people which makes the player base of the console.

Being toxic on Steam is like taking a in the ocean.
Being toxic on console is like taking a in a swiming pool.

This.
There are idiots everywhere. And you can have nice, civil and fun multiplayer games everywhere. If anything I'd even say PC is worse since written chat is more common and therefore more readily abused.

And I rather have achievements/trophies used as bragging rights than Steam level. At least they show that you have done something in game instead of just thrown money into cards.

There are two types of console players:

1. 10 year old white kids shouting homophobic and racial slurs at everyone.

2. 20-35 year old white kids shouting homophobic and racial slurs at everyone.

But seriously though...that pretty much describes every game of Halo I ever played on Xbox.

Stereotypes are real... Pathetic.

Yeah, I think I agree with that, too. I'm actually not really an achievement hunter on here, because it's so disorganized and meaningless. When I played WoW still, I put a lot of time and effort into unlocking achievements, and while there weren't really many rewards (and nothing of significance at all), it was still a satisfying experience.

Here on Steam with the levels, I started to work on it and collected cards, and then I realized that really all I was doing was spending money. I stopped when I had unlocked as many showcases as I wanted. No real point to go further. Not to mention there are people with levels exceeding the one thousand mark. Just calculating how much that would cost me, was enough to kill what little fun that system offered.

Steam achievements mean nothing because the steam achievement manager exists having a "platinum trophy" on steam means absolutely nothing. you can just give yourself them.

They mean something to oneself, as a mark of one's own achievements. This is the case even if it's possible to cheat them, because you would know whether you cheated or got it legitly.

But, even despite the existence of SAM, there aren't that many people who are interested in cheating their achievements. The rarity of achivements is still a measure of how many people got it, even if there are some cheaters among the crowd.

Yes, Steam achievements are an afterthought, but on xbox and playstation there are levels to it and score. Also on PC, most people that care about achievements use SAM and other programs to unlock achievements for them. I do go for achievements on Steam, in games I like, but it's a joke on here compared to consoles for sure.

All achievements basically mean nothing on all platforms. You don't get some sort of prize for collecting them all.

Just because it's possible to cheat something doesn't take anything away from people who do it legitimately. By that logic you should never feel any sense of accomplishment for beating a difficult game because there's always going to be people out there who just cheated their way through.
It's like doing a newspaper crossword puzzle. You could very easily cheat and look up the answers, but that being possible doesn't diminish the satisfaction of figuring it out yourself.

Woah, did this thread ever get necro'd or what !? Good to see the Achievement debate is still raging 5 years on though. 'Merica!

[VB Driver]

Because Steam achievements have no sounds, they're black and popping up in the corner.

I too, enjoy unlocking GOG Galaxy, Origin and GFW Live ones more.

Well if you're a #1 virgin-nerd trophy hunter on PSN, you may win a Guinness trophy.

Well on steam its a matter of personal value. I DO care about MY achievements, and if YOU DO aswell, then you shouldnt limit yourself to steam only regarding achievements. theres alot of sites that take achievement hunting seriously such as astats, completionist etc. Sure they dont have the same value on steam, as achievements to on console, but this is dude to the nature of pc gaming being very modifyable.
