Achievements: What is our intrest in them?

[Dexiro]

I really like achievements, but only when they push me to play a game in a different way or give sidequests more of a purpose.

In Disgaea for example 80% of the achievements must be for endgame content, it's like the story mode is just a tutorial x3

Achievements for regular story events? Not interested. And I won't bother with anything grindy or purely for bragging rights.

Uh not much interest anymore. But after you've dominated a game, it's fun to go back and look at your accomplishments. I still chuckle when I glance at my Acheivments for Madden 07

They've changed for the better I think. Games don't hand 'em out right left and center anymore

So when that annoying friend that nobody really likes but hangs around with you anyway says "Lolz, I totally got 100 feathers on Assassins Credd II man." (seriously... he talks like that) You can reply by saying. "Dude... most of us got the Platinum on that game ages ago..."
