I dont really go out of my way to get achievements anymore but I currently have a 93k gamerscore and would like to hit 100k by the end of this gen . I think that would be a fitting end !
I think I have a pretty good chance especially with gamepass and a bunch of games coming the next 10 months or so I'd like to play.

How about you guys ? Ive been gathering gamerscore since it began , curious to know how high some of you are :)

Several years ago, when I first started chasing platinum trophies, I told myself I just wanted to get 10, then I'd stop.

And that's exactly what I did. Once I hit 10, I stopped actively chasing them. I've only gotten four in the years since then, and those have all been games I enjoyed enough that getting the platinum didn't feel like work.

Nope lol.

I do however, find myself being compelled to beat my friends in the monthly achievements leaderboards though.

Nope! But I will say achievements/trophies have gotten me to do things in games I normally wouldn't have which is cool.

The idea of chasing achievements just to chase them- especially across multiple games just to raise your console profile score- is like Lovecraftian, existential horror to me.

I only chase achievements I feel are worth my time and a reasonable and fun challenge. I still need to 100% Thumper. Working through lvl 8.

I have never once in my life paid attention to or chased achievements or medals in video games. The entire practice of that boggles my mind. But obviously lots of folks do it, so go for it if it floats your boat.

No, but I like to get at least 50% of the Trophies/Achievements of each game I play.
Anything less than that makes me feel like I missed too much, haha.

When I had an xbox I never really cared for the total score I just wanted to try to get all the achievements on the games I liked.

Now I'm mostly a playstation player the same is true. I have very few platinums and the number next to my profile seems meaningless to me. But I do like the trophy totals for plat/gold/silver/bronze

I don't care about gamerscore, but that's because I don't play on Xbox anymore. I occasionally will chase a Platinum in a game if I really enjoy the game and it doesn't feel incredibly tedious to do. Other than that I don't care, there always will be some "work" involved in Platinuming/100%ing a game, but it should still be generally fun to you, otherwise, what's the point?

A few years back I kinda migrated from having OCD for clearing games, to a focus on just getting through a large number of games per year.
Largely I don't try to clear games any more. Also, I never really cared about the gamerscore number much in the first place, it was all about getting full completions on games.

I used to get platinums in every God of war game and every souls game. Don't really care anymore.

I got to 50k GS this month so that's a nice milestone. Looking at the true achievements decade profile scrape, I play Xbox like 2 months a year so cool I guess.

I'm a little over 10,000 away from 100,000, and I'm going to try and hit that number exactly. I'll just continue playing games normally until I get close, though. I think it would be cool to hit it before the Series X launches, but that should happen without special effort.

I kind of enjoy competing with my friends on TrueAchievements, but mostly it's a proxy for finishing up my queue of games. In that sense, caring that I can't 100% certain games is helpful as a way of excluding some games I'd get but never play and keep my list down.

The TA ratios are a bit better than the gamerscore leaderboards at this point because they take into account difficulty.

It's also kind of funny to look at my lifetime stats and see how the curve of my streaks and gamerscore accumulation match different points of my life (applying for jobs out of college, working from home, etc.)

I'm 10,000 away from 200,000. Can't see myself ever reaching 300,000 so it'll probably be my final big milestone. I'll still enjoy getting achievements though.

Always gotta love the people who drop in to demean people who like achievements/trophies...Really classy.

My goal was always 100k. Ever since hitting that, I stopped paying attention. I more so just like to get at least 60% of trophies/achievements in a game if possible.

Hell no, gamerscore is pointless, except as a very loose indicator of your Xbox gaming history.

It's fun to watch achievements pop, but the people who grind for them are wasting their time. There's always going to be someone with an insanely higher score.

I like Halo 3 style achievements that gives you fun challenges to aim for. They add to the game. The number itself is meaningless though.

My goal used to be 100,000 but I hit that a few years ago. Now I'd just like to even my GS out to a 0 or 5 again because stupid Overcooked gave me a 1 GS achievement and I hate it.

I recently broke 10.000 trophies, I'm sitting at 75% profile completion - I'd say my next goals would be to get to 80% completion or complete 500 games (at 358 right now).

I hit 100k on the 360 and then pretty much stopped caring about achievements. I also switched to the ps4 and trophies just don't feel as compelling to me.

I don't have a goal but I am always trying to get as many achievements and trophies as possible.

I guess I do.. Want to reach 100K on Xbox and Level 25 on PlayStation lol But won't actually work towards it. Will just play games and try to get achievements and enjoy the game.

Not gamerscore, but I remember having trophy level 13 as a goal for a while. Why 13? Well, it felt special at the time, because the requirement curve gets much steeper at that point. Going from level 12 to 13 takes 8000 trophy points, whereas going from level 11 to 12 only took 2000 points.

Not really a "goal". I just want to get my Gamerscore back to a round number. I think it was RockBand or RockSmith that screwed it up so my GS ends in a 3, or 8 depending on things. I just need a 2 point achievement then it can go back to ending on 0 or 5.

Nope. I don't even have any idea what my gamer and trophy score are. There's been very few times I've chased any trophies/achievements, and those have just been times I really enjoyed a game and got bored with just replaying it and wanted to have some "reason" to play more.

Going for trophy level 50, it's been my goal since 2008 when it was the original level cap. I am thinking about "retiring" after that, but I doubt it will happen honestly. 4 levels to go.

I had 20k GS before switching to PS back in the day. Got 45 plat since and now am back to Xbox at currently at 35k so... maybe 50k? Idk. I feel like the compulsion to hunt achievements/trophies is less on Xbox because there's no "platinum" equivalent. I prefer it like this. Means I spend less time thinking about it haha.

No, for me chasing after achievements and trophies ruin the experience of the game and feels less natural.

If you don't have at least a 500k Gamerscore, don't ever talk to me. You're not a real gamer.

I could not care less about achievements, trophies or Gamerscores

I don't even know what my gamerscore is, and I love achievements and trophies.

I know what my trophy level is but fucked if I know what that actually represents. By and large, I only care about achievements or trophies on a per-game basis, not as an overall "career" aggregate.

When I was vaguely into gamerscore my goal was to get it back to a nice round number again after those 2 points in the orange box buggered it all up.

I think I have up chasing gamerscore at around the 40,000 mark and I've never had any interest in trophies. The only platinum I've ever got was Days Gone.

I hit my goal last year - I wanted to get at 1 trophy per day. Now I just want to keep it around that level. It's not that hard to do and it motivates me to play more games , which is a good thing.
