I am trying to get every simgle pokemon.

The only thing that could possibly be harder is getting all 1000 points in DoA Xtreme Vollyball.

My name is Bryan and i am an achievement whore...I have 20k+ gamer score and i have only had my xbox from last Christmas...

 

[Armored Prayer]

Hi Daniel. I guess I'm an achievement whore too. So far I only have around 20,000 gamer score. I like achievements they make all the games replay able.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I've a bit of trouble with this whole anonymous thing....

 

[Davey Woo]

I spend the first 10 minutes of game time looking at what achievements are easy to get.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

Hi, I'm Josh, and I'm an achievement whore.

 

[Shapsters]

Hello, my name is Jeremy, and I'm more of an achievement hussy, not quite as bad as a whore, but still... I only have 12,000 but I enjoy trying to get them, I have not rented games like ALAB.

Been trying to do that for a long time now. I can feel it raising my blood pressure.

My name is Aaron. And I am an achievement whore.

...It started off so small...My friends had 360s for several months to several years before me, and I didn't know about achievements until I got mine. That little "bleep" sound and seeing my score go up was such a satisfying feeling. Then I learned I can compare mine to my friends and laugh at them when I was winning.

And then I got a Gamefly account. And it got worse. I've played some truly terrible games for achievement points.


I've had my 360 for about a year now and I'm over 20k.

EDIT: Jeremy- ....I've rented it. Three minutes later it was back in the gamefly slip going back.

My name is Cedrick and I am an achievement whore and hunter. I hunt for the most difficult achievements and spend days and weeks ignoring anything else till i have it. And then when I kill those achievements i proceed to demolish any other int he game.

It's gotten so ridiculous that I have begun playing I Wanna Be The Guy just to feed my need of supreme difficulty

And you know what's worse...

I'll never stop. Bwa ha ha haaa

So is everyone here ready to share there stories of addiction?

 

[hannahdonno]

I can feel an adrenaline rush whenever I hear the little beep and I realise I've unlocked an acheivement (': I spent a hell amount of time on Prince of Persia, after realising there is a few acheivements for just talking to the princess. I must have spent a full day just stood there, listening to their stereotypical sexually tense conversations just to make sure I had unlocked them all.

Yeah I do that too because some require you to act in a particular way the whole game (E.g. On Mirror's Edge there's one where you should never kills someone with a gun).

Oh, My name's Jonathan - I'm an achievements whore.

I meaningfully used the crap weapons in FEAR 2 just so that I could get the achievements for using them (hell, Monolith even realised that the weapons were crap so built achievements into them so that they would get used!).

My housemate bought FEAR 1 for his 360 and I'm considering replaying it (despite playing the HELL out of it on the PC) just to get the achievements.

I was angry at my housemate when he traded in Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 because I hadn't played them yet (for the achievements). We have a sort of competition where we're trying to beat each other, he isn't that fussed... he's just interested in making me angry when his GS is higher that mine.

Note: When I say 'angry' I mean light-hearted joke-y angry, not I HATE YOU angry.

I'm trying to do it before they release the next generation, then I'm quitting.
