i agree that unlockables are way better than stupid achievements..i'll take an extra playable character or and new weapon over 50 useless icons that say you did something.

achievements encourage developers to forget about unlockables and that makes me sad

Thats a really good point, I would rather them work hard on a split screen mode or new characters with sweet @$$ abilities than work on achievements.

I love achievements, its just all about how you approach them. I play through a game once just to have fum and beat it picking up achievements you get naturally. After that, I'll just go back a pick others for fun. Simple as that. I find it fun racking up achievements. It shouldn't be something people complain about, there optional. Microsoft doesn't go to Gamestop with you and tell what game to get, so don't feel like they tell you what achievement to get.

When game first went up to 60 bucks everyone freaked, but with achievements you get money's worth. One game can last you a lot longer now just because of achievements. When your money gets tight and you can't get R6V2 (me) just go back and get some achievements to hold you off. I don't try to get 1000 on each game, I just get the ones that I feel count. Its just for fun.

Shouldn't this thread be with the other one about the exact same thing? Why don't people check to see if there's any existing thread about the topic before posting it? Is it that hard?

I've just started playing Test Drive Unlimited and that links what you can do in game to how much gamerscore you have earnt in the game. A lot of the gamerscore comes from things that you do naturally while playing the game - win 5 events, drive 30 miles, buy a car, buy a house, so even without trying hard you earn GS and unlock more content in the game.
