I agree. A good game is about having fun in any way you want, not making a checklist.

That's one way to look at it. But I don't think that's how the masses see it.

For example, my sister recently got a 360 with Kinect and she plays Dance Central and Zumba all the time. Most notably on Dance Central after a few weeks when she did all the dances even at their highest difficulties. She felt there wasn't much left to do but buy DLC.

When she got to that point I showed her the Achievment list. I explained the ones she earned by just playing the game and how to get many others. Needless to say, she is getting much more value out of it and having fun simply because the achievments gave her something work towards.

Hence, most people just see them as goals to attempt on games they already enjoy. I assure you the masses aren't buying games because they just want to do some checklist.

Um, the last sentence WAS my point.

Good, then we agree.

Let us celebrate our agreement with the adding of chocolate to milk.
