gamerscore is stupid

what is gamerscore there for really?does it matter?why did microsoft put it there?its retarded it justs attracts people with no life to make fun of people low gamerscore.whats the point?they should atleast have an option like 1000 gamerscore gets you 100 microsoft points or something i dont like.i have a low gamerscore because i play for fun NOT A NUMBER NEXT TO MY NAME.then atleast like twice a day i hear "look at the little noob he dosent know how to play anything because my gamerscore is bigger than his"is stupid.so just tell me what you guys think of gamerscore or anything else.

umm.... i don't think i've ever heard of people making fun of those with low gamerscore. if anything, I think people make fun of the ones with a lot because they're just nerds with no life who force themselves to play crappy games for some more.bulletsword

Some people are just different and thrive on getting achievements in games and life. They live for praise and without it they feel shameful.

And we all obviously have well lived lives if we spend all our time on Gamespot and Xbox Live. Really, watch what you say. I know people with high gamerscores who have lives myself included.

I think its fun trying to get achievements, it adds a little something more to the gamepatriots2871

Having gamerscores are nice. Microsoft did something really smart with achievements and gamerscore. If it wasnt smart Sony wouldnt be trying to use it.

I love that it adds some replay value to games.(not counting gearsofwar seriously, that is just lame) More of achievments that have u do stuff you wouldnt do otherwise, not ones that just force u to the same thing for waay too many times.

Then there are people that buy games they dont like, just to play for achievement points. Thats when i think you are bordering on having no life.

I agree totally. It does add replay value to the games. While playing my psp, and my playstation 2....I dont feel the same way about ending a game. I like having a gamer identity etc. its like a resume. I laughed at your comment about having games just to get the achievements. One of my friends sold me King Kong because he had to copies (go figure), I bought it because I heard that the achievements were easy. Oh well....I guess Im guilty of that.

When it comes to games I'm a completionist and like to see I've got everything I can out of a game. The side effect is my gamerscore gets a big boost with each new game I play as I tend to get 75% or more from each one.

I'd agree with one of the posters above about experience in games - if you want help or advice on a game, which of your friends are you going to ask - the one with 80/1000 or the one with 1000/1000?
