Some games (mostly bad ones) make earning achievement points very easy; almost as easy as killing noobs, but there is nothing easier then killing noobs. Anyway, making achievement points so easy is the only thing that makes me or anyone else interested in playing such crappy games.

I'll admitt, i've done this before. I was very bored so i picked up King Kong and played though it. I didn't like the game, but i got an easy 1000 achievement points.

What crappy games have you played for Achievement points? Don't say you haven't done it, because everyones done it.

P.S. whats your gamescore? mines 8915 points and growing.

I don't mind playing bad games for easy achievements. I have played quite a handful that I would never have played otherwise. I know that Dynasty Warriors 5 is easy, but I hated it so much that I couldn't even get many achievements from it yet. I might play it again to get the achievemetns, but I will make sure that I am loaded on alchohol first.

Now, i'm not trying to say King Kong was a bad game; it's a good game. Just that its achievement points where very easy, and i already played the game on the PS2, so i didn't want to play through it again.

I was considering picking up Call of Duty 2 since everyone and their dog has 1000 points in it, but I don't imagine that counts as a bad game... I consider playing it only for the points though, and I think that's what this thread is driving at.

Playing bad games for easy points isn't my policy, though I have done it before. I bought Crackdown and didn't like it, but earned the full 900 before trading it in... feel like I got more of my money's worth that way because I got hosed on the trade-in. Also, when MS did their contest, I played through three 2k6 games to bump my score past the 10000 mark... NBA, College Hoops and MLB. However, I liked the basketball games... MLB was a mess... heresy to any one who gives half a damn about baseball. I could have gotten easy points out of NHL 2k6, but I legitimately want a good baseball game and haven't found one yet.

So the only one that really counts IMO was Crackdown... I suffered for those points, really. But like I said, it's not my policy... I hated Saint's Row and returned that after only getting about 40 points.

Oh right... those. Yeah, I've got 200/200 in Pocketbike Racer. But that's kindof a different story... I didn't do it for the points. I did it for the glory. BK Forever, baby. Sike, Wendy's FTW.

I just sort of did that with Bullet Witch.  I rented it and most people say it's a bad game.  However, I enjoyed it and the achievements are actually difficult.  Sure there are large points for every difficulty, but to get them all, you have to beat each difficulty seperately.  For example, beating hard mode only gets you points for hard mode, not normal, not easy, not chaos (very hard) and not hell mode (ultra hard).

I think it is dumb to play games that you do not like for achivement points. I like the idea of achivements, but I will not play a game I do not like just for points that mean nothing, but a lil smak talking to a freind or adding a lil replay vaule to a game. But simply playing a game you hate just to earn achivements is dumb in my opinoin.

honestly i haven't played any bad games just for achievement points; the worst, if i have to choose one, would be College Hoops 2k6 (but that was for XBOX rewards, so i don't care if it was bad)

Far Cry: Instincts (didn't really get anything out of it thought since it was terrible) and Just Cause.  Very hard game for me to play through.

I don't specifically purchase any bad games for achievements. I have gotten quite a bit of free arcade games, though, and have definetly played more than I normally would have.

I don't do that.:| I play games to enjoy them, not to get some meaningless points.
