RTyPE9 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 We all know that MicroSoft has pretty much given the cold shoulder when it comes to allowing gamers to gain achievement points on its original library releases, but one would think that if Sony can go back and allow for older titles (hence maintaining that 70% of its library) to have trophies, why can't MS do the same. I'm not saying that MS should give us 200-1000 points for original copies of the games, but rather the OG stuff they offer for purchase. The argument it why spend $10 on a game we've played before with no reward.....I'm more likely to spend that on Rockband DLC.... For once, MS should take a look at the Sony and see what they can steal (or steal back) from them to up the ante.....Discuss, if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otisbum Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Technically Sony isn't reaching into its stash of "older titles" since they're all on the current system anyway. They're not going back and adding them per se, it's more catching up to MS than anything else. MS have already stated it'd be more work than it's worth to go back at this point.

Randomnutta Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 hmm thats a interesting point.. kk say if the original games did have achievements id definitely buy fahrenheit and spyro maybe more lol i dunno what else there is because i didnt look.. in my mind i may aswell but something like an arcade game instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTyPE9 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) well before MS achievement system people played games just to play games..so why cant u just play the game to enjoi it.. I do play games for the fun of them...BUT why spend money to play something that I've beaten 1 or 2 times, and probably own the disc to. In essence, the OD Games, are like more challenging, longer Xbox Live Arcade Games. Also, a lot of the fun of the current generation of gaming is showing off your gamerscore or trophies....otherwise a forum like this would be just another gaming forum. Why else would all of us PS3 owners go and buy Super StarDust HD? Edited July 22, 2008 by RTyPE9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecks UK Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Worst. Idea. Ever. The whole reason they advertise the Originals is because it brings back the time before achievements aided gaming. Adding achievements would make the game nothing but a downloadable port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorbait Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I still wouldn't download Xbox original games from the markeplace even if they had achievements. They take up so much space and you can find them even cheaper at Gamestop or on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryot Control Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I miss the days where I would just play games for the sake of playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snume Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well, I admit if the XBOX Originals had achievements, I'd be more likely to buy them. And, correct me if I'm wrong, the PS3 will give you trophies for stuff you've already done based on your saved games?? I'm not sure how I feel about that. The lack of achievements for Originals isn't a big thing but I'd like it. Don't have enough time to play the 360 games I have now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacY2J Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think they should definatly have achievements for the original titles you can download on xbox live, maybe 500 points per game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a weak arguement. You spend the $10 to relive old memories and enjoy an experience again, not to unlock any worthless achievement points; Just for pure fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
