    Nahh, who cares how many achievements / how much gamerscore a person has.
    They're just fun imo adds a lot of replay value to some games and guides you into exploring areas of a game that you might not have realized existed or might not have been interested in.

    I love getting achievements they're one of the first things I look up about a game before starting it, but I don't even know what my gamerscore is.

    well, it depends. in WoW i like to see what my friends have done with end game content and what difficulty. in team fortress 2 i like to see if my buddy has gotten more back stabs than me and so forth.

    You're going to have to give me an example. I'm not sure how this related to achievements.

    That's fine, I misunderstood...
    Of course it relates to achievements. I think what idoleyes is trying to get at is there are many games where you have to do achievements to unlock weapons, such as TF2. In TF2 you get like 10 achievements - unlock first wep, 15 achievements, next weapon ect.

    Ah, I've never seen that before.
    Not sure why idoleyes couldn't just say that when I asked.
    In that case, I 100% agree with him.
