In Response To: Re: Achievements are Evolving and Do you own a 360 (Rockslider) : Certainly true in my case I admit; I've never been on Live and I don't know : about this Gamerscore business and whether I might find aspects of it : enjoyable. But when you start reminiscing fondly about how achievements : were "the only thing that drove arcade video games for the first 20 : years of their existence", that's not too encouraging to me, because : I'd personally like to get well away from that sort of of old-skool stuff. : The old games may not have had the technology and maturity to attract : players with "their story, graphics, or open-endedness", but : nowadays they can, and that's more the sort of thing I want. : That sounds ok; I guess some achievements may be fun even to the likes of me
To me, I'd get the game to enjoy it. Getting an achievements tally is pretty suffocating, because in a way you're being dictated about the kind of fun you're supposed to have with the game. I don't think you enjoy the idea of that any more than the idea of boss battles, or the idea of me being critical of Suzie for the first time. *Hides under glowing dustbin lid to avoid microphone*
