Gamerscore of 118811.....a serious amount of gaming time required for that!!

Retr0gamer

Sad bastards.

That's crazy! I can't possibly imagine there are that many games worth playing! I wonder if those people have been using the gamesave cheat to improve their scores.... or maybe they just game non-stop.....

danniemcq

that top one 118811 hasn't any info or details in his account. doesn't even say games played or anything...

hmmm

The top Irish person is only ranked 217th in the world.

My game score is only like 500 odd

getting the achievments can be fun sometimes like the blowing up of 10 cars in 10 seconds in GTA4 but most of the time just not worth the effort

Man do the GTA leaderboards im 15th that makes me so so very cool :rolleyes:

Honeslty though, I use to think the whole gamerscore thing was great since I hit 20000 I just realised its not worth it at all and it takes the fun out of gaming altogether! Instead of playing throguh a game and just enjoying it I end up playing through it trying to get all the little things like collecting items etc which is a real chore. If you really like the game get the points thats my new rule.

I really dont see those people having a life other than gaming and working if they have jobs that is.

My view is if it's fun to get the achievement then go for it, if its a pain in the ass then whats the point? Gaming is supposed to be fun

Helix

know number 43

yoyo

Agreed totally, I'd be like that aswell, I'd mostly "bother" getting achivements in sandbox games ie bully or gta, crackdown etc... They have some fun achivements...

number 29 is on my friends list and I know number 45. not really sad though. how? all they are doin is playin the games. achievements are great because they challenge you to do things in games you might not do otherwise.

I have number 13 and 18 on my friends list. They both just play loads of games and dont really go looking for the achievements. They are always buying the latest games every friday and have them nearly finished by saturday lol.

Yeah I agree. I never normally bothered with doing all the silly stunts or collecting tokens in games (eg Halo, Gears of War) but achievement points spurs me on.

It's a natural evolution of people wanting the highest score in Pac Man or Donkey Kong arcade machines. And it's nice to have a gaming record to compare with other people.

Exactly, whats logical about playing a game over and over to get a high score. It's the sense of achievement which is fun.

Deliverance XXV

One of my friend's have nearly 60,000 gamerscore. He's a massive gamer. He doesn't work during the day, just does the bouncing at the weekends.

He has the highest possible MP level in COD4? He explained the ranking system to me one day but "in one ear, out the other"


EDIT: Went looking for him and he is number 11 in the list. 68194 is his current score. He's got 10,000 extra points in last two months!

Makaveli

Number 9 is chrislad who posts here.

Mikeyt086

18 and 26 are on my friends list.

I am 108 with 32520 at the moment, thats just from 3 years of games and i tend to go out of my way to get Achievements that sound fun or challenging.
