Hi guys, i bought myself and xbox around a month ago and quite like the achievements system. I feel good when i get an achievement and im wondering how much you care about achievements. Do you not bother about them, Like the feeling of getting them but dont try, Get them if you can, you must get most achievments or are you a true pro and its all or nothing?

I don't care, since I don't have an Xbox (360).
But if I did have one, it would probably depend on the game for me.

It's not just XBox, I'm the "needs most" player. If I start a game, that's it. I have to finish the game and unlock all the achievements or it becomes a paranoia.

Seriously, this achievement things are not healthy for me.

I don't have an Xbox of my own (two in the household, and can rarely use any of them...), but I'm more of a Story first, extras second sort of player. I'll go through a game, and either unlock achievements through that or possibly detour if there's an easy one to get on the way. After that, then'll I go after them.

Most achievements anyway are just "Finished level X"... I want the achievements from Duke Nukem Forever (or atleast those mentioned in the Zero Punctuation review. And yes, before everyone starts, I know it's not real).

I'll go after some of the single player ones.. but the multiplayer ones can be a pain in the ass.

I'm officially making this topic equal for PS3 owners. This counts for trophies now, too.

I'll try to get some of the single player ones if they're not ridiculously hard or time-consuming. For example, a gold trophy in Killzone 2 is, on any difficulty level, beat every chapter in the campaign without dying once. Hahaha... yeah right. The AI is smart even on the lowest setting.

Then there's another one in inFamous: Find all blast shards. There's 350 of them spread across three islands! The most I have on one of my save files is 270 something.

I must say that I have completed Uncharted 100%. I have every single trophy, which includes the platinum one.

Some multiplayer trophies are just out of your way annoying, though. Kill a player with a remote explosive attached to them while they're airborne (Red Faction: Guerrilla), kill 50 enemies with the flamethrower in one round, etc. They add some incentive to completing these stunts in a game that wasn't there earlier, but they sometimes distract you from completing the story/single-player portion of the game because you can become transfixed on getting the achievement. :(

First play through of a game, not at all (its still cool if I get some though). If I like a game enough where I keep playing it (or play online), I'll try to keep achievements in mind, but I won't go out of my way to get all of them.

I like them, and I try to get them. But, as soon as a super cool game comes along,I jump to that one.
