Have you got your result??

Haly · 29-01-2007, 18:29

Not yet :/ I get it later in the week although as they've allowed me to come back, I'm hoping it means I passed

With hindsight I reckon I could have done better but I am my worst critic.

Let you know when I find out

If he enjoys himself, then fair play to him, but going solely for points would surely become a chore in the end, for me at least. I like to enjoy my gaming, and use the achievement system to help with that, rather than aiming for points and trying to enjoy myself along the way.

Old thread, but your analysis is not strictly true.

Granted i play alot of games to get achievements - but i dont play them purely for that reason, most i play because i want to, achievements just make me get the most out of them. Dead Rising was just **** so it was put aside imo one of the worst games on the 360 just so boring, if i could stand playing it i would have got more points it wasnt because it was hard - just i hated it!

So no i dont play purely for points, but they can sometimes (read: most times) get me to play games more/try different approaches etc...

Mwhahahahahaha

Name searching?

Mark · 15-09-2007, 16:45

That's what I thought, but then I also thought I'd be just as likely to do that myself.

I disagree

plus im only crap at sports games

Haly · 15-09-2007, 17:59

I'm crap at Dead Rising but I still think it's an extremely refreshing game to play

Makes a change to see a developer try something new for once.

I must admit, I'm the same as Dan. I'll happily get as many points out of games I enjoy, or if I really enjoyed the SP and there are some MP achievements to get then I'll glitch them online with someone just so the game is 'complete'.

If I buy a game I like to get stuff out of it, or if I miss some and someone is willing to do them for me in return for me getting some for them then I am all for that too.

However, the achievements are also important to me in the terms that I feel it's a severe loss not to have them on the PS3 or Wii.
