help, im an achievement addict, it has taken half of my life and i want to stop, but i cant because it's so additive like crack. you guys got any tips?
you should probably download some xbox originals. youll realize alot of games without achievements are kickass and youll start thinking about gamer value and not as much about achievements (in theory)
Hide your 360 for a couple of weeks, try to find something else to fill your time and then bring it back out. That's what I did when I got addicted to my 360. I still play alot but not as much as before.

Turn the achievements message option off. :D Can you do that?
I have tips :) Buy games that have easy achievements and go nuts watching your gamescore go skyhigh!!!!!!!! :D Not that anyone else in the world but you will care about your gamerscore though :)

The best way would be to probably stop caring about achievements - I certainly never cared for them, and hence never got addicted to them. I pick them up when theyre convenient, but I don't go out of the way for massive achievements.
Alternatively: Buy games where you get achievements simply for playing the game (oblivion and enchanted arms are two good ones) - rather than being forced to aim for ridiculous achievements (Gears 2 - Im looking at you ;) )
It's probably just a phase; you'll get over it once your Gamerscore gets higher, or you'll just get sick of it. Once it goes away, it may come back, and it may not. Are you a teenager, or an adult? Regardless, you should try setting your priorities right and focus on other things.

Achievements aren't like crack. Imagine how impressed (and by impressed I mean unimpressed) your girlfriend would be if you showed her proudly how many achievement points you had for each game.
I'm not trying to be insulting, I just mean that achievement points don't make you a better person in life, it's just a cool thing in your spare time is all.
points isn't the problem, in fact i don't really care about gamerpoints, im just addicted to achievements not points, ill try to play some xbox originals, i wish achievements were never made.
