The Difference Between Good And Bad Gamerscore Whores.

03/21/09 11:56 am | #1

I dont know, I allways look at the achievements of anyone around 60k or 100k, and I allways see games like Avatar or TMNT. Games that take no effort to get 1000. I think the reason for my gamerscore not reaching 50k yet, would be because I like to play games that are good, not just for the achievements. I refuse to put Avatar in to get an instant 1000. If anyone looks at my achievements they are all in good games, or decent at least not bad ones at that. Maybe I'm not made out to be a gamerscore whore.

I enjoy having the most gamerscore for the upper quality games not including the bad ones. But props to all the 100k's and above I'm sure it takes alot of time but being to play anygame out there probally helps get your score up alot faster than my way of thinking. I spend alot of time gaming to probally as much as anyone with 100k. Hmm, Anyone else out there that has a mindstate like me?

I completely agree with you... What's the point of wasting time on 1000, when you can play it the hard way and fail like me and get 60 points per game

So in otherwords you are suggesting that because you "CAN" get 1000 in avatar in under 3 minutes that it is NOT a good game, and you are also suggesting that just because someone has avatar on their gamercard they didnt play the game all the way through? On top of all of that how can you be sure that someones kid didnt play avatar? after all it IS a cartoon?

Consider how easy it was for you to get that 1000 in call of duty 2? and you speak of quality games yet you have 185 in YARIS!? hmm.

You really consider YARIS a good game?

Listen why does other peoples played games bother you so much? why not just worry about yourself? I think some jealousy comes into play with your post.

I still think that having 20 points for about 10 games is for cool kids only.

I sort of understand the mindstate, but really it's all more or less based on a combination of jealousy (admit it, there's at least a little bit) and pride. But why care what games other people have on their played list? I've got Lost: Via Domus and King Kong on mine, both a very easy 1000GS and yet both games that I played through to the end and enjoyed.

Saying that you're a better gamer by not having played some of the games considered junk by the overall community does NOT make you better. It just makes you kinda rude.

Yup, and by the way Lost might have been easy for some people but it really wasnt the point of the game to be easy... it was for fans of the show and I loved it. Same with avatar.

Plus you have to admit that smoke monster was a pain in the ass and sometimes the circuits were too.

I loved the game too, being a huge fan of the show. And yes, those circuits were terrible! Especially in the Hydra Station. And that cave in the third episode? SO DARK!

Yah I know damn that cave.... very scary really... One time I waited in one spot to see what would happen and the sounds alone will make pee come out. lol.

Well being that I play games for fun and for gamer points I don't think its bad to jump on a waffle (Really really really easy game) to get a quick few points. I mean the points are there for a reason and if there wasn't points on some games most of them would not get played (example: PIMP MY RIDE).

Really in my eyes, some games I played just for points I turn out enjoyed rocking, like Open Season, Avatar (yes I played longer than 5 mins), and Jericho.

What is needed is balance, For every game that is CRAZY HARD TO GET 1000 in: COD 2,3,4,5 and so on we all need to catch a break and waffle something just to make sure we keep the whole thing in perceptive: GAMING IS FOR FUN!!!!

MY only 'issue' with this is that points are the new equivalent of "high scores" from back in the day, sort of a testament of skill right? If cats are just stackin on easy games, the Gscore kinda loses meaning.

I still don't see how cod2,4 is so hard. Aside from mile club both games were fairly easy.
That and a few lvls of course

There is an entire site dedicated to this very discussion.

www.trueachievements.com

The site assigns a certain point value to each achievement in every game based on the difficulty. Yes even avatar.

While my real gamerscore is 49k
My true gamerscore is 55k

Neat little site.
