887 total games played...that is just too much games played for me

I like trophies which are the same as achievements. I t adds an extra layer to the game. I however will NEVER buy a game for easy trophies/achievements. That is beyond dumb.

That's a lot of money... and time.
Good for him though, if that's what he likes to do. I always try to get all trophies in my games, but I only buy the games I like. I wouldn't buy a game I don't like just to get more trophies... I think the closest thing I've done to that was downloading Sonic 2 from PSN when I was a Plus member for free, just to get some trophies before my 1 month free subscription ended.

Agree......This guy plays every game you can imagine....even the cheap ones and the bad ones...
but he wants the record of 1,000,000 achievement points....

you are right...that is lots of money, now that I think of it

Did he really had to play COJ: The Cartel? There are better games to get 1000/1000.

you are totally right about coj: the cartel....
there are way better games to get 1000/1000 points for...

Hmm 1000/1000 does it mean you get 1000 per game ? So he basically got platin in 600 games ?

600,000 is equivalent to 600 completed games. Too much? Yea probably.

It's just that people like this pick up games like Avatar and King Kong to "complete" them. These games only take 2-5 hours to get 1,000 points in, and really are not that fun. To make 600,000 points, he had to play a lot of dull games.


P*nis Points.....erm, I mean achievement points are fun to get, but does total score really matter? When I play games on my 360 I try to get as many points as possible for games that I love. Halo Reach I have 1,400/1,400, Mass Effect 2 I will soon complete, and I generally try to get as many points as possible for games I love.

However I do this because it gives me a reason to play the games I love more. It's another reason to play Alan Wake on Nightmare difficulty, or another reason to pick up Forza and play another race.

Many games I don't like I have low scores, like Saints Row (10/1,000), and I don't care.

Gamerscore means nothing, it's just an ambiguous score. If yours is higher then someone elses, it just means you spent more time in single player, or just playing crappy games. It only means something per specific game. Sony realized this, and that's why PS3 has a Platinum Trophy, but they realized this too late IMO. MS realized this too, that's why thy give you a list of your completed games on one tab.

So is 600,000 too much? Hell yes, get a life....wait I should stop being on this forum too, to be fair.

you are so right....I don't care about achievements in games I don't like...
that is a waste for me.....
