After 2 and a half years, I've finally stablized my GamerScore.

[martyrdrebel27]

I was so excited about this that I just had to share it, and see if anybody else ever felt compelled to earn certain achievements to get back to the -0 and -5 endings.

back story: on 4/11/08 I got the Two Points achievement on The Orange Box, which is, of course, worth 2 achievement points. To complement that achievement is the 13 point Vorticough achievement. Which I literally just got minutes ago.

So has anyone else found themselves in a GamerScore awkardness? Did it bother you? Did you correct it?

 

[Ordinaryundone]

I had the same problem for a while, only backwards. I got Vorticough, but decided I liked having a number that ended in 3 or 8, so I held off on getting Two Points for a while. Got it a couple months ago, though I kind of regret it. I liked being unique...

Dud I hate to break this to you but you might have OCD. Why not head on over to the local psch hospital and get checked out. You'll feel better.

On topic: No I would venture to guess most people could care less if their gamerscore is not a round number.

My gamerscore is all fucked up thanks to a bunch of XBLA games. I need a 7 pointer or a 2 pointer to fix it. And I can't find one...

 

[BlindTom]

It's not about having OCD, it's about showing everyone online that I do!

 

[martyrdrebel27]

yeah, i guess now that you mention it, i do kinda miss the oddity... i sometimes landed with the GS ending in 27, which is my number.

you're avatar there, is that kirby turned into Dr. Zoidberg?

sorry for the double post, but i just gotta say that if i really was OCD, it would stand to reason that i wouldve either done them both right away or neither. i mean, yeah, its bothered me a bit, but obviously not to the point that it affects or effects my everyday life. haha.

 

[FallenTraveler]

I got an achievement on.... some game that was in the arcade game pack disk, and so I believe I am fixed at 6, and will probably never get that other 4 points... does anyone know a game with a 4 or 14 point achievement btw?

 

[SturmDolch]

Ugh I had this, too, from GRAW. I never did fix it, and now I doubt anyone will ever see my gamerscore again anyways. I wish Steam had gamerscore. That was a great plus to Xbox 360 over PC.

 

[DustyDrB]

I don't understand why this is an issue. What's wrong with numbers 1-4 and 6-9?

I don't have a Gamerscore awkwardness (although I do have a three 1 point and one 2 point achievements on Forza 2 reserved for such an occasion) , but I do have a Microsoft Point awkwardness.

Somehow I've ended up with a solitary, odd Microsoft point left on my account, so even if I spend all my usable points I'll still be left with 1.

I can't for the life of me figure out how I've been left with this single point as I'm sure everything is priced in multiples of 10, but somehow I've acquired 1 point (or lost 9).

I don't really care about the 0.79 pence the the evil Microdollarsign have stolen from me, it just really annoys me that I don't know where it came from and I can't get rid of it, so it just sits there, tormenting me by flaunting it's mystery.

I got an achievement in 'Infinite Undiscovery' that gave me 49 gamerscore and to even it out, I have to beat the post-game dungeon's final boss, on the hardest difficulty after beating the game on the hardest difficulty.

I can't even get past the battle tutorial (the first 5 minutes) on the hardest difficulty. And the achievement only gets me 1 gamerscore. Needless to say, I haven't done it yet.

That's not OCD. He got Two Points months ago, and if he did have OCD he would've gotten Vorticough as soon as possible.

What this guy said.

OT:

Meh. As long as it's a big number, I don't really care.

And to be honest, that's probably what others think as well.
