Achievements are not that important. STATS though, man, I hate it that you can't play without worrying about them. I know I'm probably the only one that's going to check them on sites like Bungie.net or whatever, but I hate to know how much I suck at one certain game (bad kill/death ratio for example). Leaderboards too, what's the point of them?
Sometimes, if I screw something up in a singleplayer game that records stats, I'll just reload the checkpoint right before dying or something like that. I guess the best example I have is Oblivion, where it would record the amount of time you failed to force open a chest. I want this stat to stay at 0 damnit, so I reload the save I made right before attempting the force open if I fail.
I became a sad gamer. Luckily Nintendo understands games are played for fun so they're staying far away from leaderboards that track your performance or other stuff like that... at least as much as possible. 
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
