Do You play your game to the achievments, or do you let the achieves come to u?

i thought this would be pretty interesting to see. i personally have grown tired of searching for every corner of a game for extra armor pieces that dont matter because i already beat the game, let alone developers art, or numbers that make no difference (although i do see people with 60k gp and go wow that guys cool i wanna play with him).

so yea do u play the game one time through, then go back to get points, or do you in my opinion "ruin" your first experience tediously searching each corner, or do you, like me, just not care?

i play a game first and enjoy it, then go for the achievements

I let the achievements come to me. I just play the game, and if they come great. If not, don't really care.

I play the game and the achievements are bonus. I won't try and get all achievements for all games. I will however complete games on harder difficulties for the hell of it and that's unlocks achievements :)

Most of the time I'll play a game through and then look at the Achievements and start knocking out the easy ones I missed. If they're too time consuming, especially on a game that's not very good, I don't bother.

I play games that are good, I just try to get all of the achievements in them along the way... I'm not one of those guys with 1000 in Avatar or King Kong.... all of my thousands are good games (IMO) apart from Blazing Angels... I bought that games because the screenshots made it look amazing, and I felt like I might as well finish it... But all of my games are good games...

Usually, I play through a game the first time without worrying about achievements. I want the "pure" game experience the first time through. Then after that, I try to get achievements.

I play the game through and don't care for achivements.

However, if it is a game I really like, like Skate 2 or Halo 3 etc. Once I 100% level up, complete game etc. I will go for achivements but NOT for the points, just for the joy of doing the challenge.

I hate people who play to show off their points and complain about your gamerscore, that bit isn't fun at all for me.

For the record if anybody checked, I don't play skate 2 that much anymore (way to buggy) and I've only played Halo 3 about 4 times on this account (new account) so thats why it is low :P

I get everything my first playthrough besides the stupid stuff like collecting flags in Assassins Creed.

should a gamer feel that he/she plays games for achievements, thats fine but a little sad that thats all he/she notices, when most games have amazing design and gameplay, im glad to see a majority go after them after they finished actually enjoying the game, and even more enlightening that a fare few dont even bother, they feel either the game already is satisfying enough or that they are lame

:)

...and even more enlightening...

Oh indeed. The way you enjoy your hobby is clearly a sign of enlightenment. :roll:

most of the time i play the game then go back for achievements

although games i end up not liking i go straight for achievements

I play the game first, then go for achievements for the fun of it.

I usually just play. Once I get one for doing something skillful, i'll check out what all of them are. Like for RE5, alot of them are pretty easy to do and you can get them all in one playthrough without really having to stress yourself... you just have to know what they are. Stuff like killing an enemy a certain way, getting x amount of y kills. I do that type of stuff. Thing like, "play the game for 50 billion hours to earn enough to fully upgrade every weapon" ... thats the type of stuff I skip.Senor_Kami
