I only go after achievements if I get something useful or neat for it. Bragging rights are useless to me.

On another note, I hate getting achievements when I play on someone else's console.

I look through the achievements prior to playing the game and conciously hunt the amusing ones while subconciously gleaning the others, I think.

I am, and sometimes I'll push my mental limits to the edge for an achievement. Trying, and still not achieving, Battle-hardened Gear (rank 47/50) has really set new limits to how stressful an achievement will be for me. Gears of War 2 surely has the worst multiplayer of any game ever made, IMO.

I guess that would be me as well, but I'm not the kind that would ever have a game like Avatar on my profile. But I do check out the achievements for games before buying, because I'm poor, and when I finally do settle on a new game, I'd like to get as many gamerscore out of it as possible..

I do that achievement hunter stuff I go for the most difficult stuff. Also while I play games I check the list for what I can get while I'm playin.

I play through games for the story, not the achievements. The only game I've gone out of my way for achievements is Final Fantasy XI, and that's only because I have a certain goal in mind for that game, and it just helps me get more achievements.

I wouldnt call myself a whore as such but I do go after achievements if they're interesting, I'll never buy a crap game that gives out achievements quickly (KING KONG KOFF KOFF) just to up my score.

I am annoyed that mine doesnt end on a 5 or 0 though, i just had to get the two point achievement in half life 2 for sinking the hoop in the junkyard

I will do my best to get them all if they're fun ones or at least not annoying to do. Otherwise I will not bother. The reason I play games is to be have fun and to be amused, not for pictures of trophies or a useless number.

Getting to rank X (requiring a bazillion XP in multiplayer matches) in a no-bells shooter is a very very bad achievement or trophy and unworthy of my time, for example.
Killing 50 enemies with a rocketlauncher is also a bad achievement and I will not actively pursue it.

I remember Ratchet and Clank's skillpoints, those were fun to do.
Often when doing something unusual you got surprised with "Skillpoint", you look up what you did, think "Oh, yes, I did do that, notice "4 skillpoints, 5 needed for Big Head Mode" and then the hunt is on, baby.

Try to get on top of a large statue, beat a boss with nothing but your wrench, destroy a whole bunch of scenery, etc.
Not too difficult yet sometimes challenging, unlocking small in-game sillies and having a clever description when you view them later on.
Why don't many games have ones like that?

If there is one for doing the game on the hardest mode I tend to play the game on that mode, I wont go out of my way for Stuff though but I do like getting everything in some games.

I wouldn't call myself an achievement whore, I just have low standards. Achievement girl with low self-esteem sure, but not an achievement whore.

I sat for 46 minutes trying for that stupid Killzone 2 trophy where you headshot 3 Helghast in a row with the Magnum.

And it wasn't even for my account. It was at a friend's.

Gaahhh.
