Achievements feature

posted on February 9th, 2010, 5:37 pm

After spending an extensive amount of time playing the Xbox 360, I have become an achievement addict. For those of you unaware with the 'achievement' phenomenon, in essence it is a system that awards you for achieveing certain tasks.

For example, in Halo, killing 3 enemy's within 5 seconds, earns you the 'Triple Kill' achievement, etc etc.

Back on topic, after becoming a 360 addict, I now have the psyche of only wanting to play games that reward me in some how, and I'm sure there are plenty of other players that agree.

Ok, so heres my idea:

Either, you have a system that gives you medals/trophy's for doing certain tasks within game, or you could have a 'Log'.

The Log would work like this, it would effectively 'log' your progress within FO.

E.g S7 Defenders destroyed to date: 19
Borg Tactical Cubes destroyed to date: 6
Federation Sabers destroyed to date: 126

The game them gives you a rank over time which is promoted. You start at say Cadet, and can work your way up to admiral, based upon your overall game behaviour and performance.

I hope the System will be fully deactivateable.

I never liked archivements. Mostly you du the actions while playing without thinking about it or they are such strange that nobody would do it without a archievement.

Somehow just making more gametime without any new content for the people who want to get them all.

Call me old-fashioned but I don't like the most new developments of the gaming industry. 

ps.
My email is hidden? Made my check at hidden but there is an emailsymbol for myselfe while loged in.

Great! 

I like achievements 'cause they're a nice bonus. Though I'm quite addicted to some games which are somehow based on earning achievements I don't play because I want them. I get them as I play.
Of course sometimes there are things you wouldn't think of and you only do them because you know that you'll get a reward for doing them. But sometimes this even shows you a new aspect of the game.

So let's say there are some medals (or whatever) for doing research in FO. Maybe you usually don't tech that much and concentrate on larger fleets instead. If there's some kind of reward for teching up you might try it and maybe you discover new ways to handle the race you're playing.

And even if you don't like achievements at all you can still just ignore them

Would the achievements display in IA, or in multiplayer too?
