I don't know I think it creates a good healthy competition with fellow gamers. My brother and I are always at it and it doesn't take away from the game I think it adds to it. Games I would have never gave a chance, got a chance and I actually started enjoying more types of games. So if you are a nintendo gamer and have not fully understood the thrill in achievements, then I think you have some biasism. For instance I got the Mile Hige Club achievement on Call of Duty. This achievement is extreme and hard as sh-t but I eventually got it. I was championing around my living room and my woman had to come see what the F was going on, Thank god she is a gamer. LOL After that my brother worked at it for 3 weeks just to be on my level. I went through oblivion and did every single missions and achievement, I'm sure the other gamer could agree that it just adds a mission, a direction to go to and I think it is genius. Just like how sports rewards trophies. some achievements only certain High level gamers can achieve. I've had gamers get online and look at my profile achievements while playing live and give me props. It's your record of gaming. you can go back through and compare with whoever you like.
I think until you experience the extra level achievements/trophies adds to gaming you won't understand what it adds to gaming. Key word is add, It adds competition, fun. This intensifies your experience in different ways and I don't think it takes away form it in any shape or form. The game is still there and you can choose to follow your achievements or not.
