Title: Anybody a Gamerscore Whore?
Post by: Grecco on April 23, 2008, 07:44:42 PM: Anybody love them some achievments? Play crappy games for scores?

Anyways i was playing Meet the Robinsons yesterday and noticed Demi has the top score of all time in the Security minigame. I bow to you sir.

Is there interest in making an Evilbore Mygamercard.net leaderboard to compare your epeen?

It is well known that I love my achievements. Achievements are amazing, and breathe life into gaming once more.

I think the last easy game I played was LOST, but I love my LOST. I haven't even done Avatar. I figure, maybe they will do another Old Spice Challenge, and I can pull out my trump cards.

I don't get a thrill out of the gamerscore itself. Which is probably a good thing as I would spend too much time doing things I don't enjoy.

I've only got 1,000 in DiRT because I love the game, and I'll probably get 1,000 in Assassin's Creed for the same reason. Got some flags to find.

I think one of the best examples when Achievements work.

In some other games they suck balls though. Viva Pinata for one.

i'm no achievement whore, but fuck Guitar Hero 3 and Final Fantasy 11's achievements, lol.

Bully's annoyed me at first because most of them are just "complete action X times", but you're doing things you do in the game anyway.

I was just playing through Viking and I liked collecting them - it's like a seperate meta-game.

Post by: ShogunOfFear on April 24, 2008, 04:16:40 PM: I try unlocking as many achievements as I can on the games I buy, I have all 1000 in Halo3 and COD4 for example, but I never rent shitty games just for the score. Some game achievements aren't really worth what it takes to get them though, the Orange Box comes to mind.

Post by: demi on April 24, 2008, 04:19:27 PM: Some achievements are worth getting just for bragging. Like if I somehow get Gold Medal on Portal, everyone will BE MAD cause I am awesome
