are sometimes not worth playing because there is no *PLINK* sound for doing something out of the ordinary (i.e. an achievement)? This is not a systems wars question. It is more of a comment on how achievements have somewhat changed the face of console games IMHO. What do you all think?

This is definitely a problem that I've run into and am blogging about right now. When it comes to multiplatform games, I find myself going more towards the 360 version than the PS3 one because of Xbox Live and achievements. I've heard this from a lot of others too. It almost seems that Achievement points may turn into the x factor for buying decisions. I know it has for me.

I dont think i even have time to care with all the games i wanna play :P What is it tho?
Achievement points are points given by games to add to your gamerscore for completing specific tasks, such as completing the game. The tasks are different depending on the game and make you want to play the game in a different manner in order to achieve them. I think they're such a good idea. I'm getting much more value out of my 360 games than I have ever gotten from any of other games, purely because I want the achievement points.
hmmm...to be honest, i think they're a good idea, but i don't really care about them. you don't need them for your game to be fun. heck i'm still playin n64 games to this day--no achievements there. i think they're just something meant to give us all a reason to play the games more. just my opinion...if you take them away, games still would be enjoyable.
I thought that I won't be able to fuly apreciate a title without achievements after playing the x360. I was wrong:) Recenlty I beat 3 star wars games. They where great.

Sounds nice. I like the ide, but I dont think it would make me want a game more, since i buy alot og games, i mostly dont have time to care about stuff like completling a game in another way ect. But i thanks for the info. Could be nice if i wanna get back and do it again. But do you get anytihng for the points?
I would rather just get awesome games and play them as much as I want, rather than care about achievement points. To me AP are not what make up a game.
