Poll: Are Achievements Worth The Effort?

[zDeathMageneticz]

I think that achievemnts are worth it, my gamerscore being 26,835

I only have 3 games basically and dont rent, that shows how much I care.

Oh and I am pretty sure there has been many posts on this topic.

Well achievements do nothing (some do, but not all) so I would say no. But maybe the update for XBL might change it so they are.

I think achievements (trophies in my case) are great and extend the life of a game by making you do something you wouldn't think of doing.

No. I don't care about gamerscore. People think they are better than me because mine is only 5,000, but I don't care.

I love the little *Bling* i get whenever i achieve a trophy, im a shameless trophy whore.

To repeat what has been said "They add life to a game and make you try things you would never do"

Plus they give you bragging rights

Same here. They should remove trophies that require you to play the game online though.

Nope. I don't generally try to work for them. I get them as I play. I play for fun.

Eh dont really care about that or gamescore, i just play the game and if i happen to unlock something then great if not, oh well.

Same. I'd never keep trying to get an achivement. Explains why for some games, I have NO GAMERSCORE AT ALL.

Don't you fuckers get it. Achievements are just cheat codes for game developers. With achievements all they have to do is write down some words that make an annoying noise when you do something right, instead of making a minigame to do the exact same thing.

Achievements are a failed attempt by Microsoft to lengthen the game 4 or 5 hours. The only problem is that there's no point. All gamer scores are giant dicks attached to your foreheads that you show off to other dickheads to see who's head dick is bigger.

It depends on the nature of the achievements. If they involve a lot of grinding, some really random circumstances, or just the natural progression of a game, then they are bullshit. If they actually represent a true testament to a player's skill at a game, then I think they are definitely worth it. Unfortunately achievements of such a nature are few and far between.
