For me sort of, most achievements I just get through normal gameplay, but once in awhile I'll strive to get them for a guy like the play time I played through the Call of Duty 4 campaign on Veteran. Nearly have 100% on that game. And when I get a game with easy ones, I'll get them like Lego Indiana Jones or Ski Doo Challenge. Both I have 1000G.
Is your gamerscore a big deal for you?

No, not really. I haven't really been playing much on the Xbox 360 to care much about gamerscore. After all, it's just a number that doesn't do anything.
Not in the sense that I would go out my way for achievements.
No, they're not that important. When I complete a game, I'll try to achieve points just to pass time, but they're not a big deal to me.
I like them being goals to accomplish, but if they're too out of my way then it won't kill me to not get them.
I like it when games make you 100% the game to get all the trophies/achievements.
Yeah it's kinda dumb when all the achievements are like "get 5 headshots" and then there's not about "beat the game on super-ulta-hard mode." So you can get all the achievements without beating super-ultra-hard mode.Simisear said:
Uncharted 2 made the trophies in-game achievements that earn you in-game money for all the extras and stuff.
Ew. No. I f-ing hate gamerscore. To me, it ruins MY sense of gaming.
Even if I don't own a Xbox or whatever, I wouldn't care for gamerscore.
I like how you can get a sense of accomplishment from these, such as Playing a game on hardest difficulty and then you get a certain achievement. At least I get a feeling of accomplishment.
Same, it's an added bonus for already doing it in game. Like getting all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 is cool, but getting 100G for it would be like "Hell yeah I did something good." Or going down the slide in under 20 seconds in SM64 for 20G.Justin5267 said:
I don't give a hoot about my gamerscore
I mainly just go through the game without looking at them (and just get random ones along the way). After I get a couple achievements for a new game I end up looking at them just to see what the qualifications were for the achievements I already unlocked, and by that time in the game I will understand how the game works and know how to get sone others (because I glance at the ones I haven't unlocked since I'm already on the page).
After I beat the game, I will go for the other ones just to see if I can get them (go through a campaign without getting puke'd on) just for an added and focused "challenge" that I normally wouldn't have done. So achievements tend to add extra replay value for me as well.
There was only one or two challenges that was actually hard for that one (but there was still a sense of accomplishment).
The one negative thing I can think of (though not so much anymore) is that you will get a friend trying to rub it in your face cause he has a couple thousand and you only have 700 or something. Not even because they complete all their games, just because they played/rented a TON and nickel and dime a lot. This was more in highschool (early 08) anyway, so not a 'problem' since then.
I do compare games though on my friends list. To see what games you've played (to ask if it's any good and you can see how far they went by their achievements). But I will compare exact games just to see if you got a real hard one that I couldn't get or something ('Man, how did you do that? I've been trying for at least 2 hours') etc.

It was awesome for me to do it on Batman: Arkham Asylum (probably top 3 favorite game for 360, even though it's cross platform). I didn't get the feeling so much for SEGA Racing thoughJustin5267 said:

Yeah I compare my stuff with other people sometimes for the fun of it.
Ah, damn, I did my post on the iPod and messed up. The :ComeOnSon: was for VIP cause he was getting 100% achievements for all of his games until he played 1 vs 100 with me and TT. The game was only from a certain date to a certain date, and the last day came and VIP couldn't get the rest of the achievements. That's when he decided achievements weren't important anymore
Of course, just my analysis
haha.

He was an achievement whore until we called him on it.
Call me a whore but I just reached 20,000G yesterday.
My score would still be higher.
You have the equivalent of 1,051 trophies, and I have 1,845 trophies.
BOOOoooOoOOOM!
