In a gamerscore dilemma

Alright guys, I'm currently in a dilemma regarding my gamerscore. I have roughly 11500 on my current account but my gamerscore to games ratio is killing me when I look at it. The poor ratio resulted from me working in a games shop and being able to borrow games whenever I saw fit, so I ended up getting more than I could chew and never finishing most of them. Looking at my gamerscore now, it saddens me. I was once a gamerscore guy but now I have lost interest due to my ratio being so poor. I am thinking of setting up a new account to tackle the problem though, do you think it's worth it though?

I suppose if gamerscore means that much to you but I really don't see a problem. Personally I've never thought about my "games to score ratio".

Oh god.  
 
No, I don't think it's worth it.

I don't really understand your reasoning behind it all but why do you have to start a new account, just finish the game on the current one?

I would do but a lot of the games I have played I no longer own :(

Rentals?

@xpxTomxqx: No-one else cares about your games to score ratio, why should you? It's not like all those games were to hard for you, you just have just borrowed a lot of games and not had enough time to complete everything. I have a few five point achievements in some games because I played them one time and it used to bother me, but now I'm like fuck it, I don't even think about gamerscore until I finish a game and then if I liked the game or the points are easy I will get the rest.

I would do it. You can get that score back pretty fast if you just commit to your games.

@xpxTomxqx: Not worth it dude. i have about 70k with a potential of about 180k. Don't let it bother you.

Gay thread, you are obviously a moron, if something like this bothers go take a look at yourself in the mirror jeeez the worlds gone to shit

Don't do this.

It leaves me with a summer of essentially going through my backlog of achievements.

That's the spirit, think of it as a summer project.

The Darkness and Tomb Raider: Legend are dirt cheap, and are probably the easiest or most 'direct' games to fill out those achievements easily. 
It seems you don't have a lot of games that fall under the category of "easy S-Ranks", but I can easily see your completion level raised fairly quickly. Make Devil May Cry 4 the last game you attempt on that list. I beat that game multiple times and walked away with a measly 200/1000.

My "achievement ratio" is pretty bad also. But I'm also not really into achievements -- as in I don't go out of my way to get them. Whatever I get it what I get.

The ratio is also pretty bad because I have a habit of just playing the absolute shit out of the multiplayer portion of a game, while never touching the single player.

You wanna play games for achievements, go to Kongregate all other games you play for the sake of playing them.

Gaming snobbery, the lamest of all snobbery.

I don't think you should worry so much about your completion ratio. There was a time I obsessed a little about my ranking in Team Fortress 2. It was fun for a while, but soon I found it took the fun out of the game, especially since I had to play constantly just to keep my rank up. I started enjoying the game a lot more after I learned to let go. Still, it's up to you.

@xpxTomxqx: Gamefly that shit. It's like netflix for games. Just make a list, they'll send the games to you and you can play through them taking as much time as you want.

Just be glad that you've lost interest in GS; I wish I could do the same.

I'm over 120,000 now and have just stopped caring. I average like 750/game and have 50+ 1000s (not easy ones either), but I just don't have the same drive I once did. I'd say screw it just keep on truckin'.

spend more time with your games
