Xbox Live Gamerscores Explanation Anybody?

Xbox Live Gamerscores Anybody?

I'm just curious at how the hell people have such a low Gamerscore these days. I've played over a thousand of online matches (Any game) and checked at least a few hundred gamertags and only found about seven or eight Gamerscores over Ten-Thousand, If anybody wants to post their Gamerscores to prove me wrong I'd love that, or at least an explanation why people have such inferior numbers.

So far I've got 30517 Gamerscore.

Well 30000 isn't exactly a lot either..

Not everyone plays games 24/7 and can afford to get all the new games that come out. I don't play non stop and I don't go through games like crazy, but I did just get 10000 about a month ago. Not everyone who plays games is completely addicted to them.

I am aware there are people who can't play 24/7.. Actually I'm pretty sure that is actually impossible. Nor are games addicting, just something fun to pass the time with. plus I mostly only get maybe two hours a day if I'm lucky in, but somehow I've still managed to get a decent Gamerscore.

Because some people just play multiplayer games for fun and don't really care about achievements. For instance, who knows what my GS would be if I didn't spend 250+ hours (might be much higher, I have no idea) on cod2 online.

I have around 13,600 and that is because I never go for them, need to beat a lot of my games, and I normally just play TF2.

Not really, back when I was a youngin' I probably gamed around six hours a day, and may I ask you to explain by your meaning of "but that's just not desirable/reasonable for most people." because from what I gather it simply just means that people just wouldn't want to game for such a short period of time nor does it have any good outcomes. Also I'd like to point out Thirty days out of 365 days doesn't really seem that bad, especially when the rest of the time is spent tanning!. xD

mine is 28,000

i started of getting 10,000 within like the first week of launch, but since then they have made the achievements pretty tedious to get and i only go for the ones on games that i really like

i have a friend though that has 140,000

A lot of people just don't care about gamerscore. Also, many of the people with high gamerscore simply play games for achievements (Avatar, CoD singleplayer, etc)

Holy crap "140,000" That's insane props to your friend. And well I guess overall my question has been answered, Multiplayer dominates. That's why Gamerscores are so low, hmm then again what about games that offer Multiplayer achievements, like Shadowrun an all Multiplayer game from what I remember.

Coming from a guy with almost 13,000 posts on a video game forum? Really? How much time do you spend watching tv? Doing something for 2 hours a day is not that much.

Yeah I know that's bloody amazing, he must be pretty skilled or have a lot of spare time, I'd like to go with the first. But yeah I guess the multiplayer achievements are rather useless anyways, well at least now I can stop gasping over someone having less than a thousand... Ugh but that zero Gamerscore still haunts my nightmares.

There's a whole lot of people who could care less about achievements. Especially since there's no reward for actually achieving them... I only go for achievments when I'm trying to find some extra replay value with the game. Me nor any of my friends actually try to get achievements. If we get them, we get them... if not, then who cares. Quite honestly I don't see why so many people like them. sourcerah

Thank you Chipie for backing me up on this one, I mean hell I spend at least double that time (Four hours for those who can't count or perform simple math) just tanning, now I'm POSITIVE that is not healthy for you. But still I'm Norse born so I'm damn lucky I can even tan.

Okay that's actually quite humorous, but the reason I like to get Gamerscore is simply because I stumble upon it.. Honestly most of the time I'm not going for the Achievements I'm just used to the good old days when knowing every small secret counted to somebody. Like back in Super Mario World, I knew everything about that game.. Every small secret I'd found. Then I tried the same with Assassin's Creed by getting all the flags... It's just not the same feeling, I guess I'm just part of a dieing breed, the ones who still love SMW and Battletoads, not to mention Doom (I'm talking Classic Doom, not this new Doom stuff we got now).

I'm not actually sure if I know anybody who farms for Anchovies (Thought I might as well pick a name for them). And Woot, good old SNES days.

Either way you can't disagree both systems were God-like, they almost achieved Chuck Norris state of existence.
