Yeah, actually, I'm the same. For some reason achievements annoy me but I quite like getting a new trophy.UNKNOWNINCOGNITO said:
I like the system a bit more as well, it's a bit easier to tell if someone is a quality or quantity gamer.
You aren't the only one, that's exactly how I feel. I like getting them, just to show people that I play my games(there are those idiots who just go straight to live) and that I'm good at themAardvark said:
On topic.
As everyone has been saying, just turn on auto sign in, you might of had it off. You never know.
If it's already on, then I don't know, that just sucks.
Dude complaining about this is like complaining about shutting off your computer and not saving a word document. It's no one's fault but your own, and this isn't thread material. Heck, I reformatted my computer and lost all my Team Fortress 2 achievements and weapons, but that was my fault.
Wow that's pretty bad. I lost my 5000 songs and like 15 movies, though. I also lost all my games and I had almost beaten Call of Duty 2. Now I'm going to have to start that one over again. I also have to redownload the plethora of custom maps on Counter Strike.Lift said:
I've been there. Back when i first got the 360, I didn't have live for a while. When I first joined live, I started up a new profile. Back then, you couldn't transfer achievements to this new profile, so I had to redo Oblivion and a couple of other games to get the achievements back. Wasn't too bad though.
Ultimatly i like the achievements system. It gives you cause to maybe replay games more than you would have if they were not there. I can imagine a lot of people would maybe have stopped playing Gears a lot sooner, if it were not for the "Seriously..." achievement (get 10,000 kills online) But with it there, it feels like there is a lot more to do with the game, and fun to be had along the way. I can't imagine I would have done every little thing in Oblivion without them, but they steered me in the direction of some good old Fighters Guild rough and tumble. Same with Dirt

I couldn't care less about achievements. They weren't there in the past and they aren't an integral part to the gaming experience. They hold no meaning but for those obsessed with them to flaunt and show off as if it attests to who they are as a human being. No significance at all and they take away what gaming should be about. This is clearly obvious in online play when you go to join a match and you find two people on a map alone letting each other headshot each other so many times until they both get an achievement while at the same time kicking out anybody who enters the map who REALLY wants to play the game. Terrible and gaming is worse off for it.
So here I was playing on my 360 on cod4, then I get logged out of live, 'Okay' I think and try to log back in: It didn't work. So I tried the tried and tested remedy: I swithched it off and on. Then to my horror I got the RING OF DEATH! Now my Xbox is broken so I can't use it over Christmas :-(. Others who have had the ring of death I sympathise with you. Greatly.
Also Microsft has increased the warranty by 2 years so don't worry if yours breaks they'll fix it for free!

That sucks. I never knew you had to be signed in to get achievements and that's good to know cause my router sucks ass and will sometimes time out randomly on PSN. But on PS3 you can get trophies without being signed in. Not trying to be a fanboy just saying.
I've done that a few times myself, luckily I've saved by then. Sometimes you just hit the wrong button by accident. But I mean hey, its just a game. If you want to imagine being really pissed about something.Killcushley said:
Imagine playing a spore game from cell to waaay into space age...forgetting to save ( /facepalm ) and having the game crash on you. I now have a fully evolved species that registers as never being played...Thank you Visa....thank you *sob*....
