Achievements/trophies

[Grailknight]

Being a relatively new addition to videogaming world, I thought it might be an interesting subject.

Do you think achievements/trophies affect the way you play games?



Personally, I find achievements really encouraging. The feeling of one more round is enhanced when you suspect shiny new gamerscore is just around the corner. I also check the list before I play (or own) the game, so I don't risk missing any.

This attitude, and my huge livrary, have garnered me 29585 gamerscore over the last 1,5 years (can anyone beat that?), and although I have long since surpassed all my friends, increasing the number is still important to me.



Love, Grailknight

Professional achievement whore >.<

I used to have the best high score at this one pac man machine in a pizza place.. I even went back in there years later and played.. Seen my initials at the top of the list still.

A week or two ago, I go in there and my name is in 2nd!! Ive been tempted to go back and play it for hours to try to regain the top spot on that machine but I havent yet.
