[QUOTE="luigismansion101"] what did you people do before achievements? i mean come on people, you play a game for one reason, it is fun. if you have fun collecting flags then do it, if you dont enjoy it, don't play it anymore. as someone earlier said, stop worrying about achievements. if they could be used for something it may be different, but why spend countless hours looking for 500 flags in one city just to say to your friend, "I have so little a life that I spent 10 hours searching for 500 flags, and it was boring, but I got an achievement for it." maybe life should have achievements so people would put more effort into it.
EX: Get an A on Math test 50 gamerscore, Get A on English Test 100 gamerscore. Buy 1,000,000 home, 500 gamerscore.
wouldn't that make things in life more interesting for you folks that get obsessed with it. i mean seriously, there are things to do in games without playing/buying games just for achievements. just buy games for the fun factor, and just play them for the fun factor and get real ppl.

You shouldn't generalise like that. A lot of people don't buy games just to end up with 1000G's at the end of it. I think you'll find those people are quite rare, not many would sit there for hours and hours trying to get every last scrap of achievement possible
I think you'll find most 360 owners play the games and try to get some achievements if possible, but they don't become "obsessed". You're obviously obsessed with talking, since you rambled on for ages about something that could have been said in one sentence
But hey whatever works for you. Good day to you sir :)
At the beggining of his post he made a lot of sense though. People don't play games for achievments, well atleast i know i don't. I play my games to have fun and IF i have fun while getting some achievements then i probably will keep on getting them. I mean if your not having fun collecting stuff then just stop... Yea you won't end up with 1000/1000, but honestly who cares? By not doing the collection quests just shows that one you either don't like to do them or because two they are completely retarded, oh and then of course answer C which is they are boring, not fun to do, and completely retarded. It isn't the end of the world if you don't get the achievements.
Yes i will agree that it is crap that they put in these mindless, boring collection achievements, but i am sorry to say that i would rather have them then play a game were i can get all the achievements in about 30 minutes (Avatar and the entire 06 sports lineup).
Just because you get the collection achievements doesn't mean your entirely obsessed with the game, but that you either had one hell of a time or that yes you are completely obsessed with the game. I mean if you hate the game and you do get the collection achievements you are one an idiot and i would consider that being obsessed with achievements and not so much the game. Hating a game and playing it for hours to get achievements would be like shooting your self in the foot each and every day, but never enough to kill yourself. It is pointless and stupid...
SO if you like the game and you actually have fun getting the collection achievements (which by the way go way faster with online guides) then do them, but if you either dislike the game or don't like collection achievements then don't do them. You won't have 1000/1000 points but do you really want to say i just spent 6 hours doing something i really hated (unless you liked doing it).
