I still don't see the attraction of achievements. So you see a number next to your name. Big deal. I'd rather just enjoy a game and try to get to the end.

To prove how dedicated you are. I've never met anyone who has more points than me in Hour of Victory.

I was on the verge of coughing up blood for playing such a crap game for so long.

IF I do get Assasin's Creed, it looks like I'll be getting the PS3 version.

To answer the question: I'm proud of the achievements that are hard to achieve.

I own all 3 consoles and buy all my multiplats for 360 strictly because of achievements, and I have tons that I am proud of. Just beat Ravenholm only using the Grav gun, was one of my favorites. You'll be singing a different tune when HoF trophies are abound. As for AC, I haven't seen a stitch of proof showing one version better then the next.

It's not about the number. It's about the actual achievement. However, it can be argued that achievements do affect the quality of a game (as well as its sales): http://www.eedar.com/News/Article.aspx?id=9

i am proud of my 360 achievements. they get me to play the game deeper and do things i wouldnt have done otherwise. i would probably never play games on hard. i beat them on normal and thats it. but i play through hard to get the achievement, and its a sense of accomplishment when im done.

plus i go for the online achievements too and do things i normall wouldnt do. im normally not one for survival type matched, but i did it in rainbow 6 for the achievement, and it was fun. so they get you to play the games in ways you normally wouldnt. true some achievements are a hassle, but some make you do and see things and even parts of the game you didnt or wouldnt.

and anyone who plays GH2 and beats Jordan on expert, should be damn proud of that achievement, damn proud. i could never do it, not even close.

If the achievements are challenging and fun to accomplish then yes. As far as the controls and graphics are concerned, I don't need to dignify such unbased assumptions with commentary.

Cows will see achievements are stupid because they don't have achievements on the PS3. Sounds simple and naive even, but that's the truth... I didn't care for achievements until I started playing on the 360 and realized for some reason, that achievements want me to keep playing.

For instance, in Gears of War you can look at other player's achievements and pretty much judge how good they are based on ahievements... it's kinda sweet

yea at first i thought the whole idea of achievements was stupid when the announced it before the 360 came out. but then i started playing games and wanted to get that perfect 1000 score. i played through COD2 just to get it, took forever, but i was so proud when i got all 1000 (my first game) :)

I think those are actually related to the blue lines you see in the trailers. I don't actually think they want you to crash your system by glitching the RAM.

To prove how dedicated you are. I've never met anyone who has more points than me in Hour of Victory.

I was on the verge of coughing up blood for playing such a crap game for so long.

Dedicated to what? Microsoft and every crappy game on their console? There's some dedicated fanboyism right there. All you did was piss away money (I hope to god you did not but it) and time playing a crappy game to raise your E-cool points level. What the hell is the point of reviews if you're just gonna play the trash anyways for some stupid points?

Achievvements are great since it does give you goals and extra things to do. The problem is the Gamerscore crap. There's tons of people who buy and play crap games just to get their stupid e-cool score up. There's even online services where you spend a lot of money to send your 360 HDD in and people play games on it to get your gamerscore up. That's just f'ing sad.

so let me understand

theres things in a game like pass level 2 with only using a pistol... for 10 points. thats something you wouldnt do normally? but for those 10 points you would?

so once you get those 10 points to add to you 1000 gamertag points for a total of 1010 points... the whole end point is what? to get your points so high someone is impressed and says "wow you got alot of points"?

and what about games like spiderman3 or saints row that has a completion %, (say if those games didnt have achievements) and only a "% completed" would you try to get 100% of the game done if no one would know about it?

is seems like you need to be givin points to have a sence of accomplishment, otherwise you wont try to complete 100% of the game ... which is sad
