i guess that depends on you.
i enjoy collecting achievements...in the same manner i will enjoy trying to collect all the music notes and jiggys in banjo. just for self-satisfaction.
there only real use is comparing what you have done in a game to another person though.

if you enjoy collecting them...collect them. if you dont...then dont.

 

I do enjoy collecting them. I just wanted to see if users just play games solely for achievements and forget about games. Cause sometimes I see people play Avatar and such just to boost there achievement score. Like for real? ;o

 

yes...for some people achievements can be like crack. i wouldnt advise behaviour like that though...its unhealthy.   if you get ever urges to pick up trash games solely for achievements points, please seek help immediately.
