I suppose... I guess I've just kinda lost my fear of failure, and can no longer sympathize with it.

It's not that I want to spend time with her, it's actually just that I want to share video games to everyone in the world, and it just gets to me when people only play one game. And that second part might be true.

Perhaps... It's just that this is one of the few things that really gets on my nerves. But, you get double credits for having Fluttershy as your profile pic.

Well, I think you touched on a big part of this for me. I gave up on getting 100% on tests halfway through highschool and just settled for whatever I got. I've never cared much for sports and there's few competitions I could win at. And striving for first for anything seems pointless to me...

Hey! I am... Er... Was... A Call of Duty fanboy. But yeah, I've since given activision the big middle finger, and I never could understand the point of being 10th prestige or whatever... I spent my time online unlocking all of the weapons and camos once, I don't want to do it all over again so I...

With the Point A to point B thing, I think those things are alright, and can even be fun, as long as they're optional. Something to do on the side if you get bored, or annoyed. During my brief time trying out DC Universe Online, I enjoyed the agility challenges and did a lot of them. I didn't...

I really think the majority of you people are misunderstanding me. I'm not really saying "Bah, I hate achievements and anyone who likes them can go to hell!" I'm just saying that I think achievements aren't done well, and are simply a minor part of a game. People who play sports might have a...

Well, I have no idea how Mario games are these days, as the most recent mario I've played was the first few hours of Mario Galaxy 1, but if you look back at 64 and, I think even Sunshine, there were special endings for finishing the game with 100% completion, and it didn't require you doing the...

You know, I'm ok with that to an extent... I've got all but, like, 2 achievements in Portal 2, and intend to get them sometime, but I got them easily the first time I played the game. If I want to get the last 2, I just have to play through the game again. Also, my main point for starting this...

My thoughts exactly!

Eh... Maybe I am being a bit too hard, it just seems frustrating to be dealing with someone who completely ignores so many games just so the achievement page is completely cleared.

That's all well and good, but when it gets to the point that you feel like you can't play any other game until you've gotten every achievement in one game. That just gets to me...

I might be a little bit controlling, but she really is obsessed. It's kind of like how I was when I played World of Warcraft... I refused to play anything but that, even when I was so angry I wanted to smash my expensive keyboard. I suppose the achievements can be a kind of fun thing and give...

As the title says: Let's talk about achievements! Specifically what's wrong with them. So I'm getting frustrated because I can't pry my friend away from borderlands, who she's beaten but hasn't gotten all achievements for, so that she can play some other games because she only discovered the...
