I've lost the reason for gaming?  I still own and play all the games I've gotten 100% for.  I have the Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2.  It includes Dead Space Extraction and it has trophies. I took the demo for a spin and it doesn't seem like a game that I will particularly enjoy, so I won't be installing it.  That's not the behavior of someone who just cares about trophies. 

Secondly, why don't you stop earning trophies before you start bashing me for earning them.  You guys are a bunch of hypocrites. 

I don't think you people like you understand what trophies really are.  You see, trophies have always been in games.  They are not some new development.  Before, they were always called medals and you would recieve them for completing various in-game challenges.  We've always had them in games and we still do today.  Games like Transformers: War For Cybertron, Uncharted 2 and hundreds of others have in-game challenges that rewared you with medals or a simple checkmark.  In any case, that's what trophies are, they are another series of in-game challenges, except with trophies you can view all your accomplishments in one place instead of having to load each individual game.

I hear all the time from you guys how trophies are just to show off, but how can that be when you can't even see my trophies?  You can't see mine and I can't see yours.  Only I can see the tiles for the trophies I've unlocked.  And if you can see mine, then you're a hypocrite, because you've got them too! 

The way I see it, the more challenges for games, the better.  I want more challenges, you want less.  Maybe you're the one who has lost the reason for gaming.

EDIT: A lot of you trophy bashers out there have more trophies than the people your bashing.

They're just three trophies.  To me, getting the plautinum is really the end all be all.  I think that the trophies are fine.  I got my platinum yesterday.  I think that some are a little glitchy, but the actual tasks within the trophies are great.

I view trophies in a similar manner.  I collect them for the games that I really enjoy.  I do use them to show off to my brother and friends though.  If we all like a similar game I usually ask if they have the platinum for it.  I also don't get trophies for games that I don't like.  You can tell that I like Uncharted 1 & 2 because I have their platinums (used to be 100% before DLC) and that I didn't really like KillZone 2 because I have 1%.  There are people out there who just hunt for trophies, but that's just silly.  I have about 12 platinums now, but I love all of the games that I have them for (except CoD6).

Re: Mass Effect 2 only has 56 trophies?

I haven't gotten around to getting the Platinum in ME2 yet but I do have a theory on why there are missing trophies. If you need to do the DLC missions to the the platinum then the reason why some were cut couldhave to do with staying under the trophy limit. It seems that PS3 games have some kind of limit on the amount and types of trophies that can be in the game.

If the DLC trophies are not required for the platinum then I have no clue why they would be different. This is the first time I have heard of any game having different trophies (excluding the platinum).

I don't know why some are having problems with the insanity trophy. I finished my first game today playing on insanity and got the trophies during the final meeting.

Interesting theory, but games like Resident Evil 5 and Uncharted 2 both have 71 trophies each.  Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 only has 56 trophies. I know there is another add-on coming, but I doubt the trophies included with it will push ME2 over a trophy limit. 

Personally, I think it was a mistake.  I think the people behind Mass Effect don't really care about Sony or the PS3 and they just threw the thing together just to be done with it and never looked back.  Just my take.  I think they spent as little time as possible putting ME2 together for the PS3.  Our version didn't get all the trophies or even a booklet with our game.  It lseems like a lot of people can't even get the trophies it does have to even unlock.
