Do you usually unlock most achievements in a game?

I see people on live with very high gamerscores and I sometimes wonder how it got that high. When I play a game, I usually end it, go back, and do some sidequests but some achievements require you to end the game on higher difficulty settings and such and most of the time I don't do those. Sometimes, the game is just too boring and time consuming for me to play again and some games are just really long. Also, a lot of the games have achievements like opening all treasures or finding all of a certain item and it makes them really easy to miss out on and you almost always need a walkthrough.

But I usually only get about 500-700 of the 1000 achievement points because I don't like having to repeat everything and some of them are too time consuming for a measly30(G) andan achievement and I have to go out of my way.I don't like spending so much time on a game which is getting repetitive when I could be playing another. I see these people with really high gamerscores and all and it makes me wonder if most people unlock all or most of the achievements in a game.

Do you usually unlock all or most of the achievements in a game and go out of your way to do so?

No, I do not have the time or patience to do that

I complete the game and then I maybe do a few fun things that may or may not get me an achievement and then I move onto the next game.

i usually look over the achievements before i play the game to get an idea of what some of the crazier ones are so i know to do them when i can but i usually get 600 - 800 score on most games only playing through once sometimes twice.

I normally unlock them all or as many as I can but usually get bored before I get them all. I have too many games to just play one for the time required for 1000G.

I'm afraid to do that and spoil whatever game I'm playing

i think i am obsessive compulsive, so yes.

It really depends on the game and how much I like it, I beat the heck out of FABLE I and when FABLE II came out I did the same so I ended up with all of the achievements and then all of the ones from the DLC when I got them. other games though I cant see myself putting in all he time for it most online multiplayer achievements are a joke because most online play is a joke. I think what really motivates me is wanting to beat my friends score in a game but at the same time the 'friend' I'm referring too mostly buys games at random and hardly plays them so I beat his score on them just to get him to play them more to try to beat me, lol it hardly works though "World of Warcrack" has him now XD.

Rent games, play games on their hardest difficulty your first try, then if you have time do some other stuff.

I am almost done with Assassans Creed 2's achevments, I only have two left, finding all those stupid feathers and show your colors, AHHHHH, I just want 30 feathers is that so much to ask?

i just get the ones on decent games not crappy ones

I only whent out my way for 3 games:

Assassin's Creed - All but about 5 achievements
Assassin's Creed II - Completed 100%
Lego Batman - Completed 100%

I was really O.C.D. about it at first, until I realized gamerpoints are totally worthless. Now, it's whatever I can get on a first playthrough. I'd rather spend my time playing new games.

Wouldn't go well in a fight tho :P

Bully: I am going to kick your a**
You: Oh yeah well not with me 500G you aint
Bully: *pimp slap*
:P

Depends on the game, I don't strive for the incredibly hard achievements but if it takes 2-3 playthroughs to get some easier ones, I'll do it.

This is my approach as well.If they are reasonable I will try to get them all but some of the collection achievements are just plain ridiculous:evil:

I didn't when I was gaming on the x-box but im very competitive and when my friend started getting platinums on the ps3 I started trying for them all just to beat him (Mostly because it was so easy in that lawout for people to see he had more, and we just cant have him ahead of me)

Its hard to say, I do want to get the full 1000 points, but I just don't have the energy or the skill to get, I'm two away from mw2 with the spec op achievements to complete.

When I start playing a new game, I always check out the achievements before I start. On the first playthrough, I do some achievements that can or must be done on one full playthrough. Then, after finishing the game, I either start a new game, or do achievements on free roam when possible, like in Assassin's Creed. Now that I think about it, I haven't cleared all the achievements in any game yet. Enchanted Arms isn't that difficult though, just beat the game :P

Depends on the game. If I really like it, I will spend more time on it. Like Fallout 3, I have that almost complete, and I have the hard ones (Steel ingots, and Bobble heads).

I try to.

I've been trying to unlock most of the achievements lately.

Nope I don't like achievements.

No, I don't. If I do happen to get most of the points in a game I would have no gone out of my way. Usually it will have just happened from me playing the game so much.

i usually try to get 750g in every game, but if i dont like the game, it goes back to the store :P
