I only go for achievements when I've basically already completed the game (and if I enjoyed it) I'll go back and do the achievements to extend my play time with it.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!
I just hit the 100,000 gamerscore milestone yesterday and I couldn't be happier. I had to add my gamertag to my top four badges just in the hopes that people would click on it and feel impressed by my six figure score. Or maybe just make fun of me or caring so much about something that everyone else in my life thinks is petty, childish, and pathetic for a 30 year old man to be doing.
But screw those who think the latter

I agree with you anyway, besides having Grell as an avatar. I usually just play through the game, but for the sake of replayability I usually go through again to get the trophies. I'm fond of getting them, but sometimes I won't bother if it's really tricky. I aim, over a long course of time, to get all of the trophies.
Most of the games I have don't actually support trophies anyway.
Not really. I do the ones I feel like doing, they can be fun and add more challenge but I?m not compelled to get 100% if I?m not enjoying trying to the achievements. What would be the point? I got the game to have fun.
All depends on the type of trophies. I like when games like Fallout 3 use trophies as a way of exploring places, or trying gameplay styles that you may not have otherwise. However I cant stand the trophies that are like: blast 5 womp rats, using the k375 Rifle, while hopping on one foot, while looking in the other direction, within 10 seconds. Developers should use trophies/achievements to help players get the most out of their games, rather than frustrate them with neigh impossible feats.
Typically when I beat a game I like I'll get all the easy achievements I missed and then go on to the harder ones. After about an hour of frustration from getting the more difficult ones I'll come by one that sounds almost impossible and turn the game off to do something else.
Getting achievements, especially if you actively worked towards it, easily ramps up enjoyment in a game
I'm an achievement whore, yes.
I just love that feeling I acomplished something,
and it's an even better feeling when I went through trouble for it.

I only go for it when (1) I absolutely adore the game and (2) the achievement ties into furthering the story of the character or something.
Usually though, I only go for what I get in the first try or something.

a little bit... you see, I don't die and get frustrated for achievements, but yes i try to get the more I can and enjoy the game, most of the time I play it on hard mode, not for the achievements but for the challenge, and then sometimes i check out the list and go with it.
Not really, though I do feel slightly proud when I get an achievement that's super-duper hard to acquire.
I play online most of the time, but there will be times when I want to go achievement whoring, so... yes and no, but I do have a seperate file from that so that I dont need to waste money for online i don't play with that account (at least until I face an achievement that needs to be online, in which case, i just buy the cheap 5$ 1 month online)
M&B is fun, albeit hard to master and very time consuming. Not sure you'd really need a gaming computer to play it, though, far from it. It's not like it's the most greed of games... Demo's available on Steam, IIRC.Apocalypse0Child said:
Well, it mostly means I'll be glad to have the achievements I can get, but there are some I'm just not even going to try for, because I just don't have the time for it. And having so little time, I'm not going to turn what gaming I do have into grinding.Apocalypse0Child said:
I am a complete and total trophy whore (though I've never exchanged trophies for sexual favors). But the weird thing is that I don't go out of my way to get trophies for the trophy's sake, I do it because I like to watch my Trophy-XP-bar-thingy (no idea what it's called) steadily rise as I conquer arbitrary challenges. I reminds me of an RPG and I like to see my level increase, maybe the next level will be the one where a get to learn a new spell!
