Are you Addicted to Achievement points?

Achievement points are just so addicting. Anyone who owns a 360 would know that.

As for me, i won't say i'm "Addicted" to achievement points. I just like to show off my skills by getting achievement points from time to time.

However, achievement points have effected what games i play. If the game i'm playing dosen't have achievement points, i tend to stop playing it after a while, even if it's a phonamanal game. I haven't picked up my Legand of Zelda: Twilight Princess game for a month because i did't feel a sence of reword after playing it for a while.

What are your thoughts and opinions on this matter?

No i not.ELJUDEZ

Not points, but rather achievements. The replay value they add just makes games so much more enjoyable.--Magnum91--

No, I'm not. I like the idea of achievement points, but kids who spend hours and hours trying desperately to gain every last achievement at the cost of all the games fun disgust me. I remember way back, when we used to play video games in order to have some fun, maybe a laugh or two....Jeff_Boldt

i use to be, i just loved seeing that little bar pop up saying youve unlocked another one wooo! but now i just like them coz you find urself playing your old games to get some extra points and remebering how good that preticular game is. like hitman blood money such a great game!

nah i play games i like.  if i'm not having fun them i'm turning it off

It's fun to get them.  It gives more replay value, and challenges you.  Makes you feel proud, like a medal or something.  It's also nice in that it shows the progress of someone in a certain game, so I can look and see bob likes to play the multiplayer and is quite good at it, he must have played it alot, but I see he barely touched the single player.  Good info.

i do like them,i don't like to show them off to people if you remember in the old xbox live days you played a game for FUN not achievments i have this friend of mine he's 14 years old he sucked at gears of war he had like 400 points now he needs only seriously and he used to have 5k points now he has like over 10k points and shows it off and has 1000 points in rainbow six vegas... he's been trying to get seriously really hard on GoW and he used to talk to me lots but he's been so busy with getting achievment points im not really ADICTED but i can say when i see that "achievment unlocked" it makes you have a sigh of relief sometimes and you're glad to see it it's a great addition but i think that when you unlock an achievment you should get SOME not alot but SOME microsoft points like a small amount so that people would buy more games(helping gaming industry etc...) and play them cause i see lots of kids making fun of me cause i play games in most of my spare time and stuff but that's beside the point im kind of an adict but im not one of those guys that sit and start thinking"OMG I HOPE I CAN GET THIS ACHIEVMENT I'VE BEEN WORKING SO FREAKING HARD" stuff like that.. no im not like that im calm and play for actuall funomg_GoW_pwner

It's not about the points - it's about the bragging rights... :twisted:

:arrow:Next-Generation Gaming is playing games with your friends on Xbox Live.  PERIOD.

Really?  I love the achievements and I am a full time college student, work a full time job at night, am married, and go out every weekend with my friends and sometimes during the week.  My gamerscore is over 14,000.  Sounds like you are just making excuses because your score isn't very high.  I probably do a lot more than you do and still enjoy playing games and having a high gamer score, so judgemental cracks like these simply aren't true and really just waste everyone's time.
