There is no really set 'good' or 'bad' or score that you have to get by a certain amount of time. Just play the games for the entertainment. Yeah thats fine. I like to get achievements but some people couldn't care less about them.

Yea, I don't really play for achievements, just sit back and have fun on your console. I guess 7k is ok.

Yeah, youre doing alright. Lol, i have 22300+, but the funny thing is, is i have 40 games. My uncle just buys me games for no reason and I end up getting a load of games. Which is cool. But then again, he also gives me a load of microsoft points. I have like 60 arcade games. Lol. Sorry for going off, but yeah, you have a good amount, but I was wondering why u were worrying about it.

exactly. It all matters on how many games you have. sometimes gamerskill= gamers money. I have to buy my own games except for birthday and christmas which both have just passed so i have a total of 7 games and i have over 2k gs.

chefstubbies

From what I've read, it kind of does.... You kind of need achivements to get high gamerscores, correct? Thus, better skill---->more achievments---->higher gamer points.

i agree with you there, but you could just as easily spend a long time trying to unlock a certain achievement where a friend could be doing the exact same one and crack it right away because they are more skillfull. realli this can go either way u want to spin it.

go look at what the achievements are for games like avatar, that's not skill. most games are non coherent with skill, most award time spent on a game for example 50 ranked matches for an achievement on a game, now i wouldn't call that skill.

People that say this usually have extremely low gamerscores.. the only way it doesn't mean they have skill is if they only play kid games. If someone can beat every game on highest difficulty setting then they must have some skill.

again, agreed. gs does not dictate how skillfull a player is, that player themselves have to be that.

anything under 20,000 is rubbish. Anti-Venom

Not really. It just matters what games you have the points in and amount completed.

Gamerscore means nothing, and that's coming from me with 30,776.

It's all about what achievements you have. People who play easy games like Avatar just to get achievement points show that their gamerscore is meaningless. I play only games that I want to play, and only attempt achievements that I'll have fun getting. I'm proud of my 1000/1000 in Dead Rising and 1000/1000 in Dead Space, and achievements like Epic Tier 3 Engineer (Dead Space), Veteren of D-Day (Call of Duty 2), Zombicidal Maniac (Left 4 Dead), General - Defeated the Strogg (Quake 4), and Frank the Pimp, Saint, and 7 Day Survivor (Dead Rising).

Like mostly everyone else said, it doesn't matter how many gamerpoints you have. Instead I look at certain achievements people have. The harder the achievement, the better the person is at that game (for the most part.)

Not really. It just matters what games you have the points in and amount completed.

No way, everybody should have at least 20,000 by now. Any less is a poor gamerscore in my opinion

I've only had mine for a year. Also there's plenty of games i could rent and get an easy 15,000 in a few days. Although i don't care for achievements and that's just lame.

ok earlier in this thread someone said that gamerscore doesn't = gamerskill but i think in some cases if you look at particular games it does! For example, if you've got the full 1000 on Call Of Duty 4 that takes some skill especially if you've completed mile high club. I agree though that on most games its easy to gain about 300/400 gamescore and so if you buy a lot of games and have a high gamescore it doesn't mean that your skillfull. For example if you got 5 games with 5000 then your a pro or just really sad or got very bored over the weekend.

I believe the old adage goes; those with less gamerscore have no skills, those with more have no life

Just enjoy your games! I must admit sometimes gamerscore has made me replay games that I maybe wouldn't have done, but in the end I'm glad I did, I did pay for the games after all!

Thread creator, you are opening yourself to a world of trolling asking that question, where people will tell you you're a horrible person, and there's something wrong with you if you don't enjoy your games the exact same way they do.

Ignore them. If you want to totally ignore Gamescore, do so. If you want to only play games that give you max points, do so. Gaming's a hobby; do what makes you happy with it.

Anyway, I've written at length on this subject before, so to answer your question, I'll post up a link to my Gamerscore Guide for the Novice.
