Do any of you care about achievements / trophies?

They're fun, but at the end of the day I don't care about them.

Depends on the game. Some games have interesting achievements that require you to do interesting, difficult things, and I like to have a personal record of having done it. Some games are just fricking pointless and I couldn't care less.

But even for the former, I only consider broken achievements to be an annoyance, not a deal breaker. I would much rather play with mods than have achievements, if it was mutually exclusive.

I was reading through some Starfield bug fixes and it looked like a lot of them required console commands, which disables achievements. I was wildly surprised to see most of the responses view this as unacceptable, and would rather live with a game breaking bug than not be able to collect achievements and trophies. Do people still worry about these? Am I the outlier?

If I’m finishing up a main campaign/story and realize that I’m reasonably close to getting Platinum then I’ll go for it.

That said, that dumbass Harry Potter game was probably the one that’ll stick in my a-hole as one I didn’t get. The game was boring but I got far enough into it that the only reason I finished was to position myself to getting Platinum (if I wanted to spend a few hours starting playthroughs with each house). Had a huge bug occur when I opened the chest with the final item needed. The chest stayed opened but did not register the item acquisition.

I like watching the number go up, but I'm not proactively trying to get specific achievements, and getting a platinum trophy sounds like a miserable experience to me.

I only like it when it pops up on xbox as rare. The diamond visual or whatever.

Had a ton of them during my Sea of Stars playthrough. So good.

Sometimes.

There are certain games I want to platinum, but I have to be able to do it in my first play through.
