Achievements/Trophies are a requirement for me to play a console...  I want my history trackable and provable...

Really?

I find global achievements/trophies to be a complete turn-off. Let individual games have achievements where appropriate, and keep them as true achievements. Beat the game without taking any damage, that is an achievement. Beat the game without killing an enemy, that is an achievement. But beat the tutorial level, an achievement that is not.

If you want to prove that you accomplished something meaningful, record it. Measuring your e-penis by way of a score of mundane and repetitive tasks, most of which unavoidable and part of a regular game playthough, shows more a compensation for a lack of skill.

Many achievements are easy as stated. But, I am talking about having achievements on your gamertag like doing the game on the hardest difficulty, completing all of the things possible in the game, showing that you completed the game, and some of the more difficult to do achievements that do require skill...

I couldn't care less about the tutorial achievements and the grind out achievements.  I look for the skill achievements.
