Getting 100% takes too damn long on most games.

As a side note, Fable 3 will use GamerScore in some regard with your weaponry. I think that is awesome and they should use it more in games. It would give people incentives to earn more gamerscore. Which in turn, might sell more software.

That's cool, but it's not like anyone is going to specifically try to boost their gamer score playing a bunch of other games (including renting clunker games aimed at the children's audience for easy points) just for the weaponry bonus in Fable 3.

Or maybe there will be a few OCDs with too much time on their hands who will.

There should be more tangible benefits for achieving a gamerscore, but since it's not required, the score itself is its own motivation.

Sure, Fable 3 by itself will not get people to hunt achievements to a larger degree, but if it becomes a trend, it probably would.  Especially if it was something platform wide, like using the gamerscore to unlock avatar props and such.  Kind of like Halo Waypoint.
