I still don't understand why Nintendo refuses to make an achievement system.
They're pointless and extra work, devs usually hate them. Esp on PlayStation. My friend explained it to me a few years ago. Kinda forgot the details. Xbox it's easy to put them in but not PlayStation. Something how they are coded on a system level and doing double the work for no extra pay with Sony's system. Tbh I think it's time to retire them. They serve no real purpose.
How much work can it be? Its literally just a checkpoint at certain points in the game. Plus it encourages people to 100% their games.
I do, Nintendo see Achievements as a chore and can ruin the experience.
How does that even make sense?
Not really hard to understand
A notification popping up in the corner of the screen when I finish a mission is ruining my experience? Ok, buddy.
Achievements can create Chores for the player.
Bro, just ignore them. The average playstation player doesn't even know what trophies they have. lol
They’ll add them as soon as they figure out a way to monetize them.
Nintendo won't implement one because they don't want to admit that something they didn't come up with is a good idea.
They didn't invent the D-Pad. Shoulder buttons. Analog. Motion controls. Switch idea or touch screens.
Zero logic in this post.
"not invented here" syndrome is a near universal issue with japanese corporations.
They didn't seem to mind copying charging people for online like PS and Xbox. lol
Would easily increase some players playtime
What an out-of-character name, but cool, I guess. I don't really care much either way if games have something like this, but I'm sure more people will appreciate this than find this a bad development.
Steam is the only achievement system I care about. That and inside individual battle.net games like WoW and Starcraft 2.
Very nice!
