Every game I own doesn't have a perfect gamerscore. Do you care about it? What games have you gotten a perfect gamerscore on?

couldn't care less to be honest. i don't play for achievements. if i'm playing the game and it isn't hard for me to grab one, than i'll do it, but otherwise, forget it. Every game i own has about a third of its gamerscore unlocked.

Depends on 3 things:

If i like the game.

If the game has achievements that wont take me a massive amount of time.

And, if i have the time.

In the end its just a stupid point score, but they can add replayability to a game.

I don't go very far out of my way to get the achievement. A little bit sure, but not a whole lot. I don't care that much. I think I have one 1,000 point game - NFS: Most Wanted - and that's because you get all the points just by completing the story.

Oh GOD no, what kind of awful life is that?

It's bad enough that the gamerscore is a waste of time, now you're going to complete all your games so you can complete that too?

No way bananas

I have 1000 in Madden because I like playing a bunch of Madden in every possible way. Past that I can only see me getting some in racing games near 1000

There's too many games coming out all the time to waste time getting to 1000

I don't think I've gotten 1000/1000 on any game I've played. I get the achievements that happen incidentally. I don't really try to get any. Unless it's some fairly easy to do.

yeah the 1st in the world one is just plain stupid, only one person at any given time can get it and im sure theres a massive gap between 1st and 2nd. most likely the top person doesnt even have all the other achievements.

 i just got andther 15 in mass effect now im at 930 :P i love this game!

I look at the list, and see the ones I'm going to get and the ones I'm not.... I've gotten 1000/1000 in some of my games like COD4, Hitman Blood Money, Oblivion (1250/1250), etc... But I just choose the achievements I'll be getting after my first play-through, and sometimes during.

The only one I completed was King Kong - because all you do is play through the game and Whala - perfect 1000 point gamer score. Every other game I try and get as much as i can from the initial playthrough and then forget about it after that. I have too many games to keep playing the same ones over and over - that's an alright problem to have though. LOL

No I don't but I'm trying to with Left 4 dead. Mainly just to get my gamerscore to the 10000 mark. I don't know why I so excited to reach that mark. I guess I'm becoming a gamerscore junkie

No way. I never play just for achievements, and I've never gotten 1000/1000 on any game. I'm really the kind of guy who plays a game through once and doesn't go back through it again.

I have a few with full points, but I mainly try and get them to about halfway. There only thing about score that I actually care about is the couple games I have like, 20 in because my friend just brought them over for the day and I will never play them again. I wish they had let you delete any game from your scorecard in this latest update instead of just 0 score ones. Hell, just make it anything under 10%. That 20 just makes me feel bad every time I look at it because I know it's bringing my average down.

I only ever got 100% on Lost Via Domus haha. Every game tends has achievements that are out of reach for casual gamers or just plain obscene ones like Assassin's Creed and its fetch quests. Like in Gears and Gears 2 the Seriously achievement is way out reach, Gears 1 MP sucked and Gears 2 I'll never put that much time on the game in the first place, online wise I've already moved on.

The only game I have 100% gamerscore on is Fight Night 3 which gave you like 100 or more points each for only 8 of the career events, something I'd have done anyway.

I think M$ should get rid of the total gamerscore number and just make them game specific cause I don't care if you got 59,500 gamerscore overall I only care about a players score in the games I'm playing.

I have four perfects (Call of Duty 4, Oblivion, Mega Man 9, N+) and each one I think I got for different reasons. CoD4 for example, one of the reasons I did it was because I wanted to get more value out of the game since I didn't care much for the multiplayer. Oblivion, on the other hand, is all achievements that were things in the game I was going to do anyway, so I didn't go for a perfect score in that one as much as I just wanted to play through all the quests. If I like the game enough and the achievements aren't a ridiculous grind like the Seriously achievements, and/or seem like they would be fun to go after and add to the experience, I will go ahead and do it. If they are too much trouble to go after, I usually won't. Usually I look at the achievements list before the game and pick out which ones sound doable and go after those, and if along the way the others are attainable, I might decide to do those too.

Just go to a person's profile, go to compare games then voila exactly what you're talking about, gamerscore broken down by game.

I have 1,000/1,000 on a few games. Generally, I try to complete achievements within reason. There are a great number of achievements that are simply not feasible to get. Some posters have already noted the absurd difficulty of some achievements. There're also the games with lots of online achievements, but no one plays it. There are a lot of games like this. There's just no way to get those achievements, short of boosting with a friend, but I don't like to do that.

I don´t really go for the achievments, I do have a high gamerscore just because I play alot of games, but I actually go with the ones I get through the first playthrough, or only if they are easy to get, but I do have a couple of games with 1000/1000 wich are, mass effect, cod 2, most wanted, tmnt (I just played it to get 1000 score) enchanted arms, the first 1000 points from gears 1, and that´s all.

If a game has an achievement like the ones in GTAIV or crackdown , or assasin´s creed where you have to find like 1000 useless things I just forget about them, and I was trying to get a higher score in alone in the dark, but the game sucks so bad that I really had to give up.

I am one who likes getting achievements, so I do seek out to get the ones I can. Whether I do or not depends on how much time I have on my hands, whether I like the game, and how I feel about the achievement. In previous times, I'd play games like Avatar and King Kong just to get more achievements and Gamerscore. Now I wouldn't even think of doing anything like that. Basically, if getting an achievement fails to adhere to the main objective of playing video games (having fun and entertainment), then I simply won't try and get it, unless it's a game I care about a lot (like Halo 3 or Fallout 3). But it really all depends on how I feel about the game and its achievements that determines whether I go for them or not. Plus, I have a few friends who pretty much play the same games I do at the same time, so we sort of have a silent "battle" for achievements in certain games to see who gets what when; this adds a lot more incentive to get more gamerscore (if I didn't have these friends I probably wouldn't care about Gamerscore that much). As for the games I've unlocked all achievements in, the ones under my belt include Call of Duty 4, College Hoops 2K6, Fable II, Halo 3 (original 1000/1000; 12001750), and King Kong. I also have a respectable 960 in NBA LIVE 06 and 900 in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and an even more respectable 915 Gamerscore in GTA IV, Burnout Paradise, and BF: Bad Company. The next up in significance is Fallout 3, which I have 820 in; I'll be working on getting the full 1000 this winter holiday. So yeah, as you can see, I do aim to get achievements/Gamerscore a bit more than others. But despite that, I wouldn't really consider myself a "Gamerscore whore" or anything like that, as I mainly play video games on my 360 to have fun and enjoy a hobby rather than to get achievements.

I only go for 1000/1000 if I have nothing else to do and I really like the game. And even then, some achievements just aren't worth the frustration and time.

No I don't complete the gamerscore for my games but I do have a problem of trying to get as many achievements as I can from a game while doing my first playthrough on normal difficulty. I might from now on not even look at the achievement list for games since all it does is adds frustration to the game. I don't need that crap I bought my 360 to enjoy the latest and greatest games, not to worry about if I'm gonna unlock this achievement or not and get upset about it if I don't. For example I looked at the achievement list for Prince Of Persia, now those look like some messed up stupid frustrating achievements. Why would I even want to care about those achievements if all it's gonna add is stress and frustration to the game? forget it, but still I will probably find myself going for most of them cause I'm a sad little achievement junkie.

Depends on the game if I really enjoy the game I will go after alot of them like Fable 2
