Gamer Score...

[The Don]

Hey everyone,
I am a new owner of an xbox 360, well not that relatively new ive had one since january... but anyway i was just asking how you all feel about gamer score and acheivments. Do you go out your way to get them or do they not really bother you..? and if you do go out your way to get them, why do you?
My gamerscore at the moment is 5,000 which i think is quite good seeing as i mostly play online and that i have around 14 games

That poll is stupid, I don't mind the idea of gamerscore but I don't play easy games for easy GS or really hard games for hard GS, I just play games and it unlocks, simple as that.

I usually try to get the achievements for every game I get but I don't get games for achievements. I don't bother with time consuming achievements either.

The poll is not stupid *REMOVED* it doesnt say anything about hard GAMES or easy GAMES it just says easy acheivments... you know like some games have easy and hard acheivments. I know, no one goes out and buys games with hard or easy acheivments just to get gamerscore you just misinterpreted what i wrote. I never mentioned buying particular games only the difficulty of the acheivments on the games. like cod 4 has the mile high club achievment which is hard and then theres acheivments on it for completing each mision which are EASY and HARD acheivments...

I like how you can proove you've done something. Although i'd love if gamerscore could be converted to points Then I would go for it ;P

I only have around 5,000 and couldn't care if I had 0 really, although with my Guitar Hero/Rock Band games I do like going for the achievements, I'm finally about to get 1000 for RB2. Although achievements really aren't my thing

The poll is not stupid you just cant read... it doesnt say anything about hard GAMES or easy GAMES it just says easy acheivments... you know like some games have easy and hard acheivments.

I did not misinterpret at all, I do not aim for easy or hard achievements, the poll is still stupid because you haven't included an option for "I just play the game but achievements are ok".

I can read perfectly fine, don't question my reading abilities because you don't think things through.
