Now, I'm a fan of seeing a high amount of numbers in my gamerscore (currently 13,535) and I was wondering, if you feel the same way, as in having a high gamerscore, what's your current gamerscore and what do you want it to be by the end of summer? I want mine to get to atleast 17-20k while enjoying the game I play and taking my sweet time on it. (I'm not the type of guy that plays every new game out there just to get achievements, just games that I want to play)

Yes I know this is a tad bit lame post, but w/e =]

Although I don't really care for gamerscore seeing that I got an achievement after doing something I found kinda hard it makes me more happy lol

Mine is 13,146 (I think), and I'm not really into playing to get a big gamerscore but I would assume with the games I'm planning to play this year that it'll go up to about 15-16k.

I dont really care that much about it. I wouldnt replay a game on a harder level to increase my score.

I used to rent games for gamerscore but i quit that long ago. Now i buy/rent games for what i like and try to unlock the achievements while enjoying a game i like. But achievemetns are fun to go at because theres a reason for me to try and beat a game at a higher difficulty.

I think achievement scores are fun and it gives you the feeling of doing something great. My score is 10,500 at this moment.

Getting achievements gives me a feeling of closure. It pops up and I think to myself, "Good, now I never have to do that again.". In a good way, though. It also makes me feel like I'm getting the most of my money. Paying $60 a game is hard, but when I see I got 900-1,000 GP off of it, I feel a lot better about it.

I agree with the "feeling of closure" sentiment. I think Achievement points give games a better replay value. I will play games three or four times over again just to get everything I can. Some stuff I give up on, but normally I wouldn't even attempt most of it if it wasn't for the fact it gives an achievement. And you can bet your a$$ that I wouldn't have lost a Saturday on the MILE HIGH CLUB in COD4 if it wasn't for those damn points...

i only try to get alot of achievements in the games i really like for example mass effect, oblivion, COD4 but games that arent that great, the achievements dont appeal to me that much.

Gamerscore is just a coporate ploy by microsoft and it seems to be working..

It means nothing but some people got too much time on their hands and care more than is needed about getting an achieviement unlocked rather than enjoying the actual game.

Its a sad fact but people really are addicted to this pointless exercise..

I have been slowing down and trying to enjoy games. Gamerscore has ruled my life for the past two years, I have played a lot of crap games just for points.
