What does an achievement(s) have to do with whether or not a game is fun?

I'm pretty sure it all comes down to personal opinion. For me i see achievements as replay value, or optional objective to reach in the game. It must be what it represent to TC.

A lot of them seem to be bad or they just aren't worth the price. Although I do have Miner Dig Deep easily my favorite game that I bought on XBL. The price is just amazing and it's addictive to me at least.

The reason is they are not available to us here in Australia.

Many of them are not very good. Also the lack of achievements keep me away as well.

They're not available to me in Europe. But thanks to my American account, I have seen that I'm really not missing out on much :P

I have no reason because I don't have an option to pay to download indie games here in Asia.

Being Australian, my reason is our Government. They don't think their adult population is mature enough to handle unrated content.

Because they aren't avaiable in Mexico and because I got RROD'd 2 weeks ago (While playing POP: Sands of Time -_-) so I can't use my 360.

I don't buy indie games for the pure fact that there are big releases all the time and I would much rather have something on disk etc. But that top-down (like GTA1) Zombie game looks great... played those games online before. I am thinking of buying it.

I find everything sold on Xbox marketplace too expensive. And the indie games aren't that good to be worth the price there.

They have never interested me, Dont see why I should spend MSP on something that isnt tried and tested, fairplay to those who do pay to play them, and good on the people who spend the time to produce them, but its not something that holds any interest for me


Make it a free to play then you may get more interest in them, and get rid of that pathetically put together "charles independent show" garbage as well
