I kind of don't mind the achievement system, but there's a few things that annoy me about it:

- It'd be so much better if they were just a set of things you had to actually achieve. Most games have terrible ones that take next to no time to get. I just played Tekken Tag 2, and within a week I had about 43/50 achievements. Thinks like "open edit mode" aren't achievements. "Get to the highest rank in offline mode" - That is an achievement. I'm playing Blue Dragon at the moment, which has some of the hardest achievements I've seen! I won't get all of them (I've actually missed one item, which is necessary for one, and I can't be bothered to go back and play it through again!), but I'll be having a go at some of them as it proposes a fun challenge for myself!
-Achievements related to stories. Tomb Raider got this right, I don't think (if I remember correctly) there was one achievement related to the story, only one for completing the game. It's a little bit distracting.
- Online achievements. Some of them are fine, I guess, but a lot of them are just mandatory, dull things just to make you play a few games online. I think some of the achievements on SF4 were cool, but mainly because there's a big community that plays that online, and if you get some of them you can honestly say you've achieved something.



Also, gaming comes first before collecting. I like my collection, but it was born as a result of playing games. I'd be sad to see CEs go away, but it will come to that eventually. The games are what I'm interested in, I have a few CEs or games that I've bought that are rare and sealed, but it's only because I haven't had a chance to get around and play them! I intend to play all the games I buy, no matter if they're CE or not.
