Welcome to this edition of Late Night Gaming Talk, where we share gaming stories! Let’s first recap last time’s player discussion: Do you usually buy DLCs?
Player Shares:
- MaskedManIn30s: “I check the base game first. If it’s good, I usually get the DLC unless it’s something odd like LGBT themes, then I skip.”
- Tao Ning Gan Ze: “As a Paradox player, I buy every DLC. Currency varies: prestige, unity, piety, or political points.”
- Armadues: “Depends on the DLC. If it adds meaningful content and I like the base game, I buy it. But if it’s just swimsuits or OST deluxe editions, I pass.”
Today’s Topic: Do you deliberately chase achievements or trophies?
Editor SharkKing: For me, I’m definitely not an achievement hunter. I play games mainly to enjoy the story and gameplay. Achievements often feel like a hassle. Many players think you haven’t fully experienced a game without all achievements, but I disagree. I play for fun, not trophies. I rarely check achievement lists or care about pop-ups. I just want to immerse myself in the game. That said, I don’t completely reject achievements. If there’s an easy “completion” achievement, I see it as a nice bonus. But complex combos or grinding achievements? I avoid those. My priority is to “have fun,” not “get all achievements.”
So tonight, tell me—do you chase achievements? Let’s talk.
