Your take on Achievements and Gamerscore

well. i gotta tell you. thats person is either really legit. or a really good whore.

see. Gamerscore whores. (well only a select few) they go out and buy games that they know have easy achievements (hell , maybe rent them)

like the golden compass , or avatar , or madden 06 , or nba street homecourt , or fight night 3.

i am not one of these people by the way. my friend is though :]]]]]

anyway , the only way to tell is by looking at his games. if hes legit. bravo whoever you are xD

I like achievements. I think they give the game a better accomplishment value. It is also a good indicator of when you are actually done with a game. For instance, I have like a 22,000+ gamerscore, but not because I go after it, but because I've played about 250 games since launch. And no I don't own these, I just have gamefly.njnaz765

I have around 36,000 and I own my games but I put in 60-70 hrs a week at work. I do go after certain achievements ones that I think would be fun to get. Once it starts to get overly frustrating I walk away, but I love achievements like Man vs Tank in left4dead or fighting the giant optional bosses in lost planet. But the past two Call of duty games I've gotten stuck on the last level on veteran and as soon as it stopped being fun I dropped the difficulty down.

I could have 1000/1000 in fable but I don't want my hero to be goth

I'm kind of "eh" on the Achievements and Gamerscore. They're okay and all, it adds a little competition to it and lets gamers flash their plumage in the gaming community, I guess, but they're not that big a deal to me. I base my game selection purely on what I like and think I am good at. If it boosts my Gamerscore, etc, great! If not, Imma not gonna cry.

In someones sig I saw a gamertag of 130k gamerscore, and according to him it was "100% legit". Insane really.kamikaze_pigmy

I love it. I have to admit I have my share of easy achievements. But I also have my share of time consuming hair pulling teeth grinding achievements. I currently have 53k+. My goal is to reach about 75% of achievements for every game I put into my 360. Currently at 59%kingrich06

As an acheivement whore, I love to throw out there, all you need is GAMEFLY!! Ofcourse it takes time, but I have had my xbox since launch so that pretty much gave me 2 years lol, and if I really wanted to I could be 80-100 k easily....... And to 130,000 is pretty much a fake or cheater, and normal is probably 20-30k putting me at the hardcore acheivement whore hahahahahaha

60k achievements sounds like someone who is a hacker or glitcher of achievements, look at their gamertag and count how many games they played just to see if they amazing. got loads of games or glitched it all, also look for dupes from foregin releases such as *** versions of games at 1000 points and uk or usa versions at 1000 points tooodjrobst

this is just to say, I think some people with high gamerscores are just going to brag about it, so I usally ignore them XD

jk~

I think they just have been playing for awhile over the years. Try checking when they join XboxLive

272,000+ is the highest it seems.

Gamerscores don't bother me. Achievements actually have extended the time I have played games that I beat. They give me an incentive to go back and play a game I would have not played again. I don't try to get these achievements for my gamerscore but it's a goal of some sort for me.

Fight Night is the only game I have where it was extremely easy to get 1000/1000. I didn't even want the easy achievements, I wanted a good boxing game. The game was good and not all people got it for the points.

ive had my x box 360 for like 1 week and i have only like 500 + gamer score just playing forza 2 and gears so 60k is huge !!

i think that gamerscore should be able to be used for something it seems a bit redundant at the moment. Dabestj

I personally enjoy achievements and gamerscore.. normally people with a high gamerscore are good at games unless they only play kids games and sports games.Darkslayer16
