When I first got my 360 I thought" A small reward for doing things in games pretty cool." But when I actualy got live I noticed some thing my gamer score was low because My hard drived crashed before and I got kicked from games because of a low rep 3stars and low gamer score. So I brought it up by earning them what I noticed those people who had those ridiculus gamer scors were playing games that had achievments you could get with your eyes closed. The idea of a reward for doing things is nothing new unlockables, Cheats ect... But Those things are so much cooler than just 5 points to add to your stupid gamer score.Now something I thought that I thought I would never do is buy a game just to add to my gamer score but I did call of duty 2. And when I got all 1,000 points I realized something. That it was a complete waste of time and all it did was make a number higher thats why I hate achievments. The same goes for trophies.
