what do you consider a decent Gamerscore?

If you have more than 20,000 you officially have no life, and you can say bye-bye to your chances of ever having a girlfriend

Too bad that's so ridiculously untrue. I have a girlfriend, I go out several times a week, I work full time, and I do lots of things with friends and family, yet I have 28,000+ points.

Nothing wrong with being a nerd.CharmedGamer

same here...married and still going strong. :)

Gamerscore - 27000+

Don't you love people who stereotype gamers as having no lives... the nerve! :)

I hate all these gamers who say people with a high achievement score are losers with no lifes, thats bs!! I kno people have already said it bt Ive got a gawjus girlfriend who hates me playin xbox bt is quite happy 2sit there n watch me cos she knowsit makes me happy (Among other things)! BtI work out and have an excellent social life and i have an achievement score of 35,205 n ive only had mine about ten months, in which ive had 2send my xbox bk about7 times (NO LIE), 4 were repairs and 3 were complete relacements!!and if u give me another week, it'll probs be 37,000. Some gamers are just better than others and achievements come easy, others just have time on their hands, with me its a bit of both cos i work from home so i basicallyget 2play wheneva i dont work, I also own about 50 games give or take my latest trade ins which also helps the score bt my 35,000 is NOTHING!!! The highest gamer score in thw world last time i heard was around 170,000!!! N ifya wana meet some of thses people then rent Quake 4, most hardcore gamers have had it since release and there scores are in the 140,000!! Now thats INSANE!!!

As long as the gamer score isn't morbidly obese...

A low gamer score is fine, it means you have a life. A high one means you need to get a life.

If you have more than 20,000 you officially have no life, and you can say bye-bye to your chances of ever having a girlfriend

Funny.....I'm an Environmental / Pollution Consultant who has a wife, tends to 5 house dogs and a very large garden.....and I somehow still manage to find some time to play a video game here and there......for a gamerscore of over 20,000. Maybe some of us have brain power and time management skills, and can somehow fit it all in. :)

hear, hear!

I play games because I like playing games. I play them too have fun. If I unlock achievments along the way of having fun well the good for me. I don't sit there and read what every achievment is and the go and try like hell to unlock it. I can't stand achievment whores.sony_vaio

i agree with you...i don't have the patience to get a 1000 gamer points in all my games...if i did i would have a gamerscore of over 35,000!!!! i play games for fun, not to be stressed out trying to perfect every game i play.

Anything over 20k is in nerd rangeCrash6

What exactly makes that person a nerd? I for one have a girlfriend, work full time, go out several nights a week and spend lots of time with friends and family, yet I have a gamer score of 28,000+. How do you explain my situation then? How about the other guys here who are in similar situations? I would love to hear your explanation for this.

Kids games? Look at my freakin' gamer card. I play Chromehounds, Hitman, BioShock, Oblivion, Two Worlds, Burnout, Gears of War, Rainbow Six, Call of Duty, Condemned, Prey, Just Cause, Far Cry and tons of other non kid games. I don't have the Burger King games, I don't have Viva Pinata, so what are these kids games you speak of? Perhaps you should have done some research on my games before you say I must play lots of kids games.

So now that you know I don't play kids games, and I don't sit home playing all day, what's your reasoning?

4000 is good if you cant get that much than 2000 should get you above noob status IMO

well as long as the 360 has been out it would consider.....

5000 pts and below - poor

5000 pts to 10000 pts - average

10000 pts to 15000 pts - decent

15000 pts to 25000 pts - good

25000 pts and greater - excellent

but gamerscore pretty much just means how much money u spend on games, i think mine is like 13923 or something

My gamerscore is 1200, i know it's small, but majority of my games are of the sport genre, and i'm not the type of guy who'll go out his way to unlock achievements to increase his gamerscore. I think your being unfair in calling me a 'noob', I'm sorry if i don't play my 360 everytime i have free time.

Who cares?

the score that you earn in individual games is more important than your overall score.

Honestly i dont think it matters because i have one profile with like 5,000 then one with 1,200 and thats the one i play on live with. And i dont just buy games to get points i would rather get points in good games so i only buy the best. And i still own in Rainbow Six and recently CoD4 beta so your points have little if nothing to do with it. A smaller score shows a discerning gamer.

gamerscore doesn't really matter since

1. anybody can get to 10000 ( rent all the sports games)

2. Doesn't represent skill but only time played

3. Some ppl don't even try to get the achievements they just play the game to beat it and then go online

I think gamerscore is in the eye of the beholder. The general consensus seems to be that games are meant to be fun and just play them to enjoy them. There is also something to be said about owning the highest score in an arcade game in the mall or wherever, so I can see where that competitive streak comes out in some people. I don't think that either is wrong or bad, its just the type of gamer you are.

Personally, I consider myself to follow games pretty well, and had my 360 for about a year, and only have about 2100. I also haven't played a ton of games, and I don't enjoy sport games. It also seems that some of the games I pick up have ridiculous achievements...ala FEAR....I think that Bioshock is the first game that I may actually get all 1000 points. Bottom line, Enjoy your games, achievement points add to the experience of the game, if thats what you like, rack up the points, if not, just play some great games.

play shrek the 3rd that game practically hands your 1,000 on a silver platter just for playing
