Like many I have a love/hate relationship with trophies/achievements. Recently I got an XSX to complement the PS5 and there's a massive backlog of games to catch up on, so I just got to playing them. Played through Halo 5, didn't care about skulls or intel, or trying to beat it on Legendary/Heroic. Playing through Ori, and haven't looked at the achievemens but this is going to be one that I go for 100% in the game screens for because I love playing it. Just playing through the Gears 5 campaign without focusing too much on kills with weapons or intel. Just blasting Horde for the fun of it. I think this is because I 'main' the PS for the time being so that's my 'official' profile where I go for plats.
But it is so liberating but also feels a bit hollow. Like the micro objectives just give you something else to hunt down and do, but some of them are just so stupid - like the burning enemies in Valhalla. I wish there were more just in game things to do and 100%. They seemed 'fairer', like collecting relics in Crash or beating times/collecting chaos emeralds. Now, it's about weird little side events/tasks.
I think I like dropping them compared to checking the games out on PS but also games go by a lot quicker without them.
