Should I stick with Xbox because of me being an ex-achievement whore? I kinda like the list of games over the years with various achievements and it feels like a waste to abandon. Should I just give up and invest in a gaming PC?

>tfw wasted my teenage years playing 360 games

Steam has achievements.
>>
>>330495640
Achievements suck the fun out of games. Play what interests you nignog.
>>
>>330495861
What if I only play what interests me and I enjoy getting achievements in games I enjoy
>>
>>330495640
Picture sounds salty as fuck because they sucked at earning anything worth a fuck.

Achivements are nice but should never be a must for a game. Also Steam achivments are shit just saying it just pops up in a super laggy window nothing really ful filling about it either since it doesnt add up in points and shit like Playstation or Xbone.

>>330495821
Those do nothing for me. No real progress measurement.

>>330495985
Doesn't Fallout 3 use xbox achievements on steam or have they changed that?
>>
>>330495967
That's what I do but then there are fun games with tedious achievements.

>Image complains that achievements are pointless and add nothing
>Unlocks a costume
ok

It's your punishment for buying Gears of War 2
They fooled me too ; _;

I don't know if I should even bother doing it now.

When I got a girlfriend achievements were redundant.

I've seen a small handful of people in my lifetime that don't care about achievements but do impressive shit anyway for the joy of it, and an endless sea of shitters that work up into a fury at the idea of achievements and insist that they don't need achievements to validate their feats that will at best finish 10% of their games once on normal/easy with the bare minimum effort and style.

I don't care if people like to collect achievements or not but I find the people that get mad at them are almost always terrible players at best anyway. If you're part of the former group you're a cool mother fucker

>>330498513
Just out of interest, what games have you avoided with this method?
>>
>I have 2 xbox's, 2 gold accounts and 2 copies of the game. Looking for two other people who want to double box boost seriously

People waste money doing this.

astats DOT nl is a pretty decent achievement tracker for Steam. It gives achievements points based on rarity and stuff
>>
>>330498657
Eternal Sonata, MGS5, Ridge Racer 6...basically any japanesy game.

I don't get the hate against achievements. They can be fun if done right. People who say that they're pointless seem to forget we're talking about video games, a pointless hobby.
>>
>>330498761
Steam should natively do it though. Perhaps awarding a fluctuating score based on the rarity of the achievement against all others who have that game in their list. All the achievements have no value like a trophy (bronze-platinum) or scored achievement.
>>
>>330498872
Jesus dude, those aren't even particularly difficult.
>>
>>330499206
Too time consuming.
>>
>>330499404
If you're not interested in unlocking achievements, why do you care what's on your list?
>>
>>330499503
The completion percentage. I don't think it shows up now on xbox one.
>>
>>330499574
You're a bizarre dude. You could always create an offline profile and just play the games on that.
>>
>>330496318
>these worthless points do nothing for me. I prefer these other worthless points
What.
>>
>>330499574
>create new account
>complete some shitty game's easy achievements
>stop playing games
>100% completion percentage
How is that something to be proud of?
>>
>>330497798
i'd say im around mid tier. i have an xbox and wii u and i 100%ed most of my wii u games even though there is no achievement to do so though.

You should definitely get a PC, then you can pirate all your games and not worry about achievements.

I think achievements should be in games cause it's like, "BAM! I did that! Douya!" It's a nice feeling. Like completing super hard difficulty, maybe not bad grindy ones though.
>>
>>330499978
Yes. I test my game's on an alternate account before deciding if the game is suitable for my main profile.
>>
>>330500213
What's your GT? Interested in seeing what made the cut
>>
>>330500503
I'd rather not say. Also I just bought Life is Strange on 360 and One just to get 2000 gamerscore.
>>
>>330500661
Damn, I was going to backtrack your IP and hack the achievement database to upload malicious score nanites into your gamernode
>>
>>330500816
Shit son. Suicide that would have been.
