I enjoy the achievement aspect of 360 games and believe it is a very good creation/innovation that will stay be with games for many gens to come.
Like many others before me have stated, they encourage me to try different aspects of games, different tactics and so on. This is a good thing imo and it has actually increased my enjoyment of some games.
I'm not an achievement whore and just because an achievement is there, it does not mean I'll work for it. For example, I don't like annex in gears, so I won't ever bother getting those.
But thats not to say its all rosey, because achievements have on occasion ruined my enjoyment of games. Typically this is during online gaming with other people who are achievement whores. For example, playing gears online the other night, ranked warzone (I want seriously as I enjoy the game enough to want to achieve 10k kills) 2 people on my team were doing nothing other than frag tagging. They weren't playing for the team, they weren't using any other weapons (even when faced with a shotgun at point blank range). All they were doing was frag tagging. Because "I'm going for the achievement". ****ing wankers! That ruins my enjoyment of games. The singleminded obsessedly driven mentality of these idiotic animated piss-stains, these abortions that should have been, ruins my enjoyment of games.
Do these morons not realise that they'll get there eventually by just playing the game normally? It would appear not, the achievement fever takes over. Tossers, and how I delight in telling them
