I seriously believe it is one of the greatest inventions in gaming history, not that I would play a game JUST for achievements the first time through, but when you are done with the game, earning the achievements gives your game like 100x the replayability! They really give you a sense of accomplishment, and it is AWESOME.
I am totally addicted to achievement points but I actually wish I wasn't. It kinda makes me not able to enjoy myself as much when playing games that I can't get achievements off of.
Yea their okay but people like Legolas with 69,000 points should definetly try to get a life.Sub-ZeroJoe
Or I could just rent a lot of the games and finish them quickly. It's not like most games take much time to get at least 500 achievements, usually just by finishing it.
The president of Gearbox even said in a recent interview that he has around 65,000, I'm sure Randy is occasionally busy.

69,000 points is a sh*tload of points. I've had my xbox 360 since launch and have only gotten to 13,325. I also rent most of my games through Gamefly.
Its cool but they should reward you somehow. Like for "X" points you get 1 month free xbox live or for like 100,00 points you get a free xbox game of your choice.
Think about it, more people will buy more games to get free stuff thus Microsoft won't be losing money.
I'm addicted to achievements, I love getting them. Makes games worth more and have more replayability. I just recently got my Xbox, so I'm not too deep into it yet.
I love achievements but i could care less about overall gamerscore. If they could keep the individual achievements that you can still use to compete with friends and show off if people want to see what you've done, without adding to an overall gamerscore, that would be cool. I get tired of being attacked sometimes just because of my gamerscore. So what. I've had a 360 since launch and have over 100 360 games, i should have a high score. But i also have a girl, 2 kids, and a great life. Stop putting your hangups on me. Achievements are great and serve a purpose, but gamerscore is useless imo.

Thank you. It makes a hell of a lot more sense for people like us to have high scores than some people I see who own 30 games and somehow only have 2000 points. It's just a waste of money when you buy all that and don't spend time playing the games.

Ive played 27 xbox 360 games and I have 9315gsTheir just trying to hide the fact that they play way too many videogames and probably don't have much of a social life.

hahaha
I was thinking the SAME thing actually lol. This guy sounds like he's about to wet himself with acheviements hahaha. In my honest opinion, it's all a load of bollocks to me, simply an imaginary pissing contest between nerds with no lives online. I can feel it......yep, a moderation is coming my way very soon for this message cuz I probably hurt somebody's feelings and I guess opinions are appreciated only if they match your own.
It's a love hate relationship for me, I love being rewarded for my gameplay, but I also hate the daunting task of getting them all. Some are very hard, and sometimes they just ruin a game, because people will just try to get the achievements and not play the game correctly.

Jealously really sucks huh? If you knew anything about me, you'd BEG to have my life. But you believe whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

Honestly think that achievements are ruinig games in the sense that people will finish the game and never go back to it, I used to be an achievement whore myself, and it dawned upon me that it is completly useless, and now only get the achievements in the games I play , and enjoy the games throughouly long after the 1000 GS completion.
I think it's a pretty cool thing, mostly because it adds life to games. Some achievements are a grind, but others can give you additional fun things to do that extend the life of the game. I think Gamerscore can only be taken seriously to an extent, since you only see the numbers and you don't know what was done to get them, i.e. if someone figured it out themselves or looked on Youtube for the answers, got outside help, etc, but it is still fun to look at someone's gamercard and see what they have been able to do. It all has a uselessness factor but I think the fun outweighs it.

I agree I enjoy the replay ability it brings to games and for those that say I have no life, read my sig plus I have 4 kids a beautiful wfe and I ghost write for rappers making good money. I can work when I want so time is not a issue and you would be surprised at how many rappers are hardcore gamers too.

IF YOUR TOO BUSY HAVING THIS SO CALLED WONDERFUL LIFE, WHERE DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO TROLL
they are pretty good, i mean i like them, they give you something to work for, adding more replay value. But seriously if you wouldnt play your 360 again because they took away acheivements for some reason, then your not a real gamer.
I would still play and have fun if they took acheivements away, and if they never created them...we would never know, nothing would have changed.
