Xbox 360 achievments - do you like them?

Hey all

I have recently gotten back into my XBox 360 for gaming (I have been playing Orange Box the last few days, well Half Life 2 specifically, and Crackdown before that) and I have noticed the last few days I have been raking in some achievements.

Now I find I actually enjoy this as I feel it is rewarding my perserverance with games and it makes me feel like playing the ones I have more to get more out of them. I dont think it will change me into I must do multiple playthroughs of games to get that 1000/1000 score but I like it when I can get a reasonable ammount of points from a game. In some ways I think it will affect how I go about buying games in the future as accessible achievements will be something I will consider along with enjoyment from the game, graphics etc. The total I have is quite low (7755 gs) but I dont mind that, more I enjoy it when I do get them.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on achievments?

They are fun to get when you are not expecting them, but I don't go out of my way to get them. I've had my 360 since launch and have something like 4300 points. I know there's tons of people who have had their systems for way less of a time, but have way more points than me. They're cool enough, but not something that is important to me at all.

Yes I like them. They make me do things in games I wouldn't have thought of doing and they add replay value.

I don't have tons of them (my score is 6745 as of yesterday), but I really enjoy trying to get them. It's a great feeling to try and get an achievment for a few days and then finally get it. I wish more were offline, I'm only silver on live.

I love achievements. The first time through a game i will not try for them but, they add replay value and doing them help you master the game. They are awesome!

Achievements are a good thing to have around nowadays.Not only do they reward you for playing their expensive game it sometimes adds more replay value to it.Most games i dont actually try and get all the achievements,i just try to play and beat it,they are just a plus.

I like them but I hate multiplayer achievements and collecting stuff.

Most of the time they don't effect how I play I just see them pop up and grin.

Although sometimes If I really like a game and have beat it already I go back for achievements for replay value.

yea i like them a lot

their awesome to get

and i love turning on my 360 and seeing all of the achievements that i've got

I love achievements.

Love em!

I love achievements, they give me incentives for replaying games (which I loved to do before achievements came out) So a win win situation.

to me, they guide my progress thru a game, which is something i like

tho i try to get a good amount of GS in a game, i dont go for 1000g for every game i posess, there is no point in busting your ass for a point total

the stupiest thing ever created whats the purpose of them you dont get nothing!!!

They're nice to have i wont lie, but it's not like i would not have picked up my xbox if it didn't have achievements.

People that buy games for easy achievements = stupid as hell People that RENT games for easy achievements = smart as hell (personally I do neither)MAGlCALMAN

I like them a lot and go for the ones that I think are owrth the time. Their is no reason for hateing them because they do not take away from your experience at all. They cause no harm. I do try and get as many as I can in all the games I play.

love em, cant get enough, will try and get 1000 for every game i playchaoscougar1

I think there fun. I dont get the complaint with them. Its not like they get in your way for getting them, and if you do like them, it something to keep you playing a game. It can actually be a good motivation to keep you going through a game even if you get stuck.
