[QUOTE="Telekill"]Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but achievement points are for those that want to further their game experience by doing extra side missions or tasks correct? So, if a gamer, such as myself, simply wants to play the game for fun instead of getting overly frustraited with a game trying to do near impossible achievements, we dont have too right? Now... if PS3 started something similar to achievement points, would I be upset? No. It's just something extra to throw in for those that would use it. Would they be called thieves by people here on the boards? Yes, but all the game companies are thieves of one-another. It's what makes it so competitive, and in the end, the gamers are the winners because of it.amcallister902

Believe it or not, most (half with alot of games) of the achievements are achieved just by playing through single player. It's not that any of them are near impossible...because they aren't. Although the "Get 10,000 kills in ranked matches" achievement in Gears of War is pretty insane to get. Most you really do get just by playing through single player.

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. From what I was understanding, I would have simply got annoyed with trying to get achievements.

Some of them are very annoying to get. I got about 500/1000 achievement points simply by playing through Gears of War's Single player on Hardcore and Insane. It's relative by game but for the most part Single player gets you a good amount of the points. And then there's games like Enchanted Arms that have each boss in the game as 25 points or 75 points (there's alot of bosses), and that accounts for the full 1000 (other than just fnishing the game, which gets you 150). No problem though. Seeing PSN with a form of Achievement points would add some value IMO, making it tougher to decide between the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of a game.

Yeah, achievements are quite addictive. People who go for them know how it is. I started off not caring, then I would do certain off tasks to get achievements.......like looking for tags of GeOW.......why in the world would anyone do this normally.....or looking for TV's metal scraps and dead birds in condemned, sure you unlock concept art, but what do I care, those things can be hard to find w/o a guide.

oh i see. i hope they do use achievments.QUOTE]

and they shut down my post and gave me a warning. i cant beleive it. at all.
