I never really found out what they do other than bragging rights. Could I use them for something or are they just for looks?

Nothing. microsoft teased with the idea of having some sort of rewards program going, but they only ran one and there hasnt been a new one since. https://xboxrewards.msgamestudios.com/challengesandrewards/Default.aspx?AWESM=1&wa=wsignin1.0 So yeah, its just for bragging.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even bragging rights, because really no one cares.

They can be a source of great pride or great shame (if you're like me and have owned your 360 for a year and a half but haven't cracked 6,000 yet)

I like the GamerScore system because it gives most games an extra incentive to achive some thing.

i.e. I beat Ninja Gaiden Black on hard but I felt like no one was going to know. I think it serves as proof of something you did. Also it helps to tell what type of gamer are you.

On the other hand I think playing stupid games for achievement points is useless.

what they do is this.

they tell you what achievement you have completed in a game. so that when you finish a game, you can go back and just try to obtain that achievement. they also let you know what difficulty level you finished the game or levels on.

and yes for braging rights to your friends.

They don't really do anything except give you something to do when you have finished your game, because I remember when I played on old systems and beat a game and that was it. With achievements you have sometnig to do after you have completed a game.

When I first bought my 360, I thought those were the Microsoft Points to download stuff with lol. But no dude, it just shows how loyal you are to video gaming in my opinion.

They make you look cool

There is also a leaderboard for them, which is a need concept cause it lets you compare yourself to other gamers in number of games played and stuff...if you care about leaderboards anyways lol

I think Achievement points are cool because they add replay value. Some people don't care for it, but still others like the extra challenge or objective. I agree that your score shouldn't be used to make others feel inferior. It's just for fun and a sense of accomplishment.

they are basicallu just for show and braggin rights and a feeling of accomplishment to look bad and see games you did things on. idk what it is about them but im a freakin addict i love them. i have trouble playing other systems because i know there is no achievements ha. should hit 15K soon
