One person nearly has a 400,000 gamerscore on Xbox 360

Where are the care-o-meter pics when you need them?

Eh, if that's how he wants to live/enjoy life, so be it... As long as he's not living off welfare checks (aka my money), and he's living on his own dime, fine.

Would I ever do it myself or allow my underage kid to do it? No way in hell. I'll withold my judgement because I don't know the guy but if I have a healthy kid with a pair of legs and arms, you better believe he'll be out more than in.

If that means he completed somewhere around 400 games in the past 4 years, which is 100 games per year, which is about 2 games / week...

Then that's pretty intense. I tried to make a list of all the Video Games I first played since Mario Bros / Duck Hunt back in 1991 when I was 4. I'm around 110 games. Which means he plays as many game in a year, on ONE console, than me in 18 years, on about 10 consoles.

Yes. He's got time on his hands.

But I won't judge him. Maybe he's not "a 40 year old fat nerd in his mom's basement" like most of you think. Perhaps he's like 20 and has a great social life, but is very efficient at video games playing.

Maybe.

Don't care actually, but voted disgusted, because that's the closest thing I would feel but in general I don't care.

Yup :|

Did not read the last 2 pages, but maybe it is a family XBOX360 him the kids maybe the wife could be playing it.

They have a guy on the PS3 with over 5000 trophies. He has earned over 55% of the total trophies ever released.

There is a problem if you go after achievements/trophies just to get them. It is one thing to go after them in games you actually enjoy and want to play, but if you are renting games like Up, Ice Age, Hannah Montana to get trophies/achievements then you just need to get help becasue you have an addiction.

so what is that equivalent to trophy-wise?

I could care less really,if thats how that person wants to spend his time who are we to judge

[QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"]We're human beings. We have the right to judge. If this is seriously only one person, that's beyond pathetic. Gaming is an amazing hobby, but 400,000 gamerscore is past being a hobby and more of a ridiculous addiction. That's to the point where the person is buying crappy games just to get the achievements from them even though that person doesn't even like that game. They waste their(or the governments in some cases) hard earned money on crappy games just because they're addicted to having a high gamerscore. That's not a hobby, that's a mental problem. And it's disgusting.Messiahbolical-

Well, if that's what he wants to do with his life, that's what he'll do. Rack up the Gamerpoints grinding your way through games you don't enjoy all you want, dude, that's what I say to him.

I'll be busy playing games I actually want to play and playing them how much I want to play them.

For all we know he could be paralyzed from the waste down and have no family or friends. Who knows?

Meh..... whatever makes him/her happy. I'm not here to judge. If they prefer that over human contact & outdoor activities, be my guess. I will always stick to what my grandma always told me when I was living with her. "Too much of a good thing is bad. Everything we do in life needs to be within reason & have balance." There's more to her saying but I think everyone here gets the idea.

He should be proud, he got 12 seconds of fame on an internet gaming forum. The rest of his life of course is probably in shambles, but it's all good.

Exactly. A bunch of people getting snotty about it on SW and telling the dude to get a life is ironic.

This *has* to be a hacked gamescore.SquatsAreAwesom

Most of the time, those gamescore are hacked to be that.ArisShadows

My thought is he has too much time on his hands. I'm about to reach my 10k gamerscore which is probably in a few more weeks :D. I find that's a pretty good accomplishment :P.

Envious and disgust. I envy him for playing such a wide selection of games, but I am disgusted at how much of his life he puts in games. Mr_Cumberdale

Now that's an example of a "Hardcore" gamer.

How long has he had his account for?

He. Has. No. Life.

All you have to do is get a PC transfer cable, download saved game files from other players on special sites, upload it to your 360 harddrive, play the saved game and get the achievements! Too bad achievements arnt THAT special for me to go through all of that just to up some number that wont change my life in any way :?

Wow that is kind of shocking for me, I sort of envy him/her in way because of the time that this person have on his/her hand. I have a rough schedule and I can barely fit in any gaming without other stuff getting in the way. Oh well as long as this person is enjoying his/her game then that's fine unless they were doing it solely for the score than it seem like a waste of time.

dont they use some kind of hacks to get that gamerscore?...if he used hacks then thats quite lame but if its legit then its quite admirable

There are so many with hacked achieves that heck, doesn't mean a thing about how good or what kind of gamer you are. :?

So it's a big, I don't care. :P

Hah i had my 360for about 3years and only got like 11k in score :?

I think he deserves a trophy and some cash. He will surely make a good role model for all the kids.

Sorry pal, you don't have the right to judge, you can judge people but that doesn't mean you should, thinking like yours is why society is screwed up.

Admiration. I wish I had the stamina (I just can't as long as I use to), time, and money to get a 400,000 gamerscore. My gamer score is only 5265.

Btw, where's the link for this?
