Early on they seemed to me that for most people they exist solely for bragging-right. I don't mind them, it is nice to have something that shows that you completed the game even if you lose your savefiles, but i wouldn't be one of those huge dickhead morons who refuse to play a game because it doesn't have them. Games should be played because you want to entertain yourself, not so you can brag to your friends that you killed 100 people with a sidearm in Uncharted. That isn't an achievement in my opinion, that is just a statistic
