some games i rent/buy for the achievements, and some games i rent/buy for the pleasure. thanks for the list btw!!!!!
Some people like getting achievements and people like you think it's a waste of time. When I get a game I like to get majority of the achievements.
Yeah, but it's like getting a score on something like a 'having fun' test. If you don't have enough fun, you get a lower score. That's basically the logistic behind it.
yeah basically, but some people do go over board with them though. Having 294177 gamerscore is just plain no-life. Source- www.mygamercard.net
I like getting achievements. Though I don't buy games for them. I like getting all the achievements because I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I do have a few games I rented for GS but only a few. I generally don't buy or rent games for the achievements. I just get them for the game.
Yeah, Thats like what i do. Some of my friends don't stop playing the game untill they get the achievements. Thanks for posting
I buy games for the games .. I hate it when people by crap games for the achievements .. You do it sometimes Cannon =]
Yeah, mainly rented. I basically done it because every laughed at how much gamerscore i had. Now i'm sitting comfortable with 7,070
But who cares what people think ? I have 15000 because my bro tries to get achievements but he doesn't buy/rent games for achievements ..
I used to hire games for the sole reason of Gamerscore, that was like last year. I dont care about gamerscore that much anymore, its cool but I'm not obsessed with it. I own those games. I bought all of them because I wanted the game, the gamerscore was simply an extra. I've gotten all for Fight Night: 1000 All but 1 for SvR 2008: 980 Bioshock I havent played in a long while because of the weird controller scheme. Scene it I picked up really cheap, and I'm really glad I got it. It is a great party game and I'm trying to get all achies for it. Bourne Conspiracy I bought because its an awesome game and the fighting system is so much fun. So yeah, no longer do I get a game for gamerscore, for games I enjoy I aim to get most acheivements for, but I dont buy or hire games purely for gamerscore. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, my gamerscore is 21, 635
I love hearing the bleep bloop sound but spending money just to show off just a few digits is a waste
why does every1 try and get achievement points? i just get points cuz im good at games and not cuz i want to
Well i get most of my achievements by accident! Well most of the achievements i personally get are doing levels or something good online .. =]
I play games for fun and achievements. Yes I am in sort a Achievenment junkie. I've rented about one or two games for achievements. My offline profile that does'nt have Xbox Live has over 14,000 points on it. I don't know why I like to get achievement points. They mean nothing, have no worth, and are just to show.
i just play games and i get them as i go along i sometimes when im bored i go and get the ones i missed
What's the point of playing a game for achievements? There is none. Achievements are just extra challenges to try out while playing the game. I didn't buy GTA 4 just so I could fly under some bridges!
