Vote- Are achievements important?

[Naga_Shesh]

Is it better getting 20,000 gamescore (achievements) or playing the game at a pace you like without bothering.

Achievements- show to your friends and the world of your dominance in games

No Achievement- play a game at your pace at the same time enjoying it

Achievements are nice but really just a huge ploy to get the consumer to buy/rent more games.

I like getting achievements to games because it adds on to your gamer score. Plus its fun trying to get them. Because on tons of games like halo 3 you can get tons of achievements.

I like achievements, it makes me do things in games that I wouldn't normally do. For example, GTA 4 there is achievement to do a wheelie for 500ft. It's little things like that, that make the game more thrilling.

I see your point and agree but you wouldn't try for a long wheelie if the achievements were not there?

totally agree with that but if either one of us were in their shoes, we'd do the same and do what it takes to keep those guys coming back

most defiantly, who doesn't like more money?

[Scott]

Yeah I like achievements. It gives me a reason to play games 2 or more times.

i always play the games at my own pace. If i try to get all the achievements then the game seems to get more boring. i remember going for 1000/1000 on Fight Night Round 3, i managed to do it but i wore out the gripping bits on my thumbstick

I like achievements but i wouldnt buy a game for an easy 1000.
