i'd like to be an achivement whore but i dont really have the time or occsioally the skill, i really only end up getting flustered about achivements when i know i can get them but my own idiocy is preventing me

More or less.

It's fun to hunt for achivements. Adds a whole lot to the replay value of a game.

I hate the achivements online that messes with the objective. Like some achivement that tells you to keep the flag for 20 seconds during capture the flag, and the guy trying to get it, does so 1 foot in front of the turn in point, and gets killed.

Not at all.
If I like a game, I'll naturally accumulate a lot of trophies (I am a bit of a completionist too) but I don't go after them.
The only problem I have with them is that in some game franchises, the in game rewards have been cheapened (or taken out completely) to the point that all you get is a trophy. Like with GTA4, you used to get better armor when you finish the vigilante missions, now you just get a trophy; stealing cars used to get you a stash of respawning cars, now just a trophy. It was one of the big disappointments about GTA4-no rewards, besides trophies.

Not really. Every now and then I chase one, and I really enjoy getting the achievements in TF2, but most of the time I don't really care.

Achievements give you something to shoot for when you'e played the game out so you don't get bored once it's beaten. Can anyone honestly say they played Halo 3 the second time on Legendary (Or should I say suicide-inducing difficulty.) just for kicks?

Uh, yeah, because it was still easy.


I only like achievements that are rare or "skilled", because it's actually something to achieve. Even then, I don't whore it up. It really annoys me when people put gaining inane numbers over playing the game and enjoying it.

I love trophies!!!

I think trophies are better than achievements as you get a shiny Platinum one as a bonus for getting them all.

I at present have 701 trophies, I think they are a great way to add life to a game you could complete in one playthrough.

i do love getting achievements. but i don't have the patience to go through every game i own and get every single achievement, i think if i did i'd have an enourmous gamer score. but i don't really play online, so it's kinda pointless for me anyway!

I am an achievement whore, in the strictest sense of the word, BUT, I tend to not play games that'll give you all the achievements in one level(Avatar), and some games, Fallout 3 and the karma achievements, properly.
