Do you hate people that play games for achievements?

I've got a friend who starts up games and first thing he does is look at the achievements to see how he can unlock them.

It annoys me but whatever... So what do you guys think?

I guess the people online that keep asking you to boost with them, but I blame the developer more for being dumb enough to include multiplayer achievements.Legolas_Katarn

I really could care less about achievement points.

I play for achievements but online achievements are the most stupid thing a developer can do people will do everything to get those online achievements that they forget they can excualy PLAY online and have fun without getting cheevies

Actually, putting multiplayer achievements are a smart business move for devs. They know people love those achievements and what better way to keep them playing the game? :)

Achievements. Teehee. :lol: (sig)

They're no better than those who complain about them...

I play the game, then after I finish it I go back and go for the acheivements.

i dont care if people go for achievements, as long as it doesnt sacrifice the enjoyment of other players. Hence why mutiplayer achievements should be bannedchaoscougar1

Really!? Multiplayer Achievements banned!? I 100% disagree with you. Sure it's a little inconvenientgetting into a roomwhere everybody wants to get headshots, or killing sprees with the shotgun and wine and complain when you don't want to, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. If it's too much of a waste of time to leave the lobbyand find another game then you seriously have a patience problem. Online achievements are half the fun because they are the harder achievements to get. Single player achievements are fun, but they are way too easy.

only the people who kick me out of online matches because i dont want to help them get their achievements.

As long as people aren't griefing or being completely useless in a team multiplayer game, I could give a **** less how people like their gaming. If an achievement is screwing up a multiplayer game, then it's the developer's fault for being a stupid ass.

I don't understand this...

Why would it bother you for anyone playing a game for what they want to do?

LOLS

I hate people who hate people that play games for achievements!

I dont really mind people that do, i just hate games that have achievements in multiplayer, like Halo, because it really makes the online more competitve and you end up with little 9 year old kids screamin about runnin you over with a mongoose to get an achievement

It doesnt bother me. The only thing i dont like is the mulitplayer achievements. Im enjoy playing single player games more and when i see most of the achievements are for mulitplayer i cant stand that.

Slade-

Why should I hate people for doing something in video games that they find fun?

yeah, i do hate gamers who play purely for achievements. personally, i'd want ms to give people the option to disable achievements, just seems sad you're getting a pseudo achievment for basically performing a double super triple bypass corkscrew loop whilst trying to limbo under something which is already on the ground and not lose a single life in a micro nano split millionth of a second oh and without cheating.Quadster

I don't mind simply because I'll often get in a situation that i'll only need 5 or so achievements to complete that game's achievements (I've got that in Fallout 3, Rock Band 2, Battlefield 1943, The Darkness, the list goes on). I have no problem with multiplayer achievements, but don't make them online only is my idea.

And make sure your game will have a decent multiplayer component if you are going to have a significant amount of online achievements. Some games simply don't have enough traffic to warrant online achievements.

I usually go for achievements, however I won't spend countless hours trying to get one.

I remember one time I got matched up with people who just wanted to gain a certain Achievement and not play the game right. So it can get annoying but naw, I don't hate people who play games just for Achievements, because I don't encounter them that much.

But the thing about single player achievements is that they aren't difficult for me, they're more time consuming. Sure Call of Duty 4 was hard on Veteran, but I did it eventually, you just have to get to the next checkpoint. That's why multiplayer achievements are difficult, because there is always someone trying to prevent you from getting them.

Nope, doesn't bother me at all for a few reasons.

1. Achievment enthusiasts tend to buy many more games than your average gamer and thus, tend to buy niche titles that other gamers (other than dedicated fans of the genre enjoy). This makes it more likely a game will be financially successful by adding a demographic that would have previously not looked that titles direction.
2. I don't play online almost at all (though having online only achievements does aggravate me)
3. Nothing says you and I have to enjoy our games the same way. As long as you're enjoying it and not ruining someone else's enjoyment (something online achievements have the capacity to do) then you're okay in my book.

Usually I play the game for fun and if I like it, I beat the game. If I want to play more, I go for achievements.

Why would anyone hate someone for that?

those who play for achievemetns are fine w/ me i guess, they really dont affect me so thats out...

but they really help game sales, so taht is a good. many people buy cheap games for achievemtns points, that i know.

Not at all. They can do whatever they want.

I do hate elitists, though. You are in no way better at gaming than any one else just because of your gamerscore.

People can play for whatever reason they want if they have fun doing it. But if they're just trying to get an achievement for the sake of getting it and not even enjoying themselves then I have to wonder why. I barely notice achievements when I play, I just think it's cool when I get one because I usually don't get them that often lol.

Maybe i should rephrase the topic title.. I didn't mean hate. I really meant annoy.

Bad choice of words i guess:P
