Talking Achievements

I just want to know whats everyone think about the achievements in the xbox360 games? Does it make you play the game longer on single player to try and get all of the achievements. Do you like the achievements or would you rather have games without them? I for one love them I find myself playing the games longer to unlock all of the achievements.

I agree. I think the acheivments are a great idea. Without them, I would have never thought of touching Kameo, but I got the game and played it and it turned out, in my opinion, a fun game. (even though one of the achievments is glitched).

I don't really like games for single player, and I have always hated RPGs, but because of the achievments, I have completed four games, more then I have on the xbox 1, as well as get me more excited about RPGs

I think the achievements are a great idea. I've been playing some of my games way more than I normally would.

Yeah I also love the achiviments because without them I would have never tried to beat COD 2 on the incredibly hard veterans mode but I did beat it and I am proud of myself for sticking with it.

achievements are a great idea full stop the games are a lot more rewarding for it and more of a challenge to just try one more time to get that achievement

Stick with it man. It took me a lot of tries but each time I would figure out better ways to do what I needed to do and in the end it worked out.

I hate achievements. It is the number 1 reason I spend alot more time playing games that I should, and I am actually having fun playing games I would have never played just to get these achievement points.
