I was going through old files on my computer and came across some pictures I had taken when I reached a certain number of Gamerscore. This first one was taken when I reached 20,000 Gamerscore on December 21st, 2008. I had played various Xbox Live Arcade titles in an attempt to get the number just right -

Because of stupid Rock Band 3 I'm sitting at an odd number. I need a game that will give me a 1 or 6 point cheevo so maybe I can see these kind of round numbers for my GS once in a while...having said that...I really don't give a fuck or pay attention to my gamerscore anymore. I like getting achievements if it is helping me get more fun out of a game, but I certainly am not going to get hung up on it, or start a thread to show off my gamerscore...I have a little more self confidence than that.

@phish09: If you ever want that 1 point with an easy achievement the game you need is Samurai Shodown Sen... Just saying (I do not recommend doing this/playing this game ever!)

I used to take photo's just like this, but I grew tired of milestones, my score hasn't really moved much since playing SR3. I did very, very briefly have my score at 99999, but then I got another achievement about a minute later.

I made a new gamertag a few years after owning a 360 because I didn't want to pay $10 to change my first account's name. Of course now I realize the endless headache I've made for myself regarding game/DLC licenses being on only one of either accounts...but it at least made me stop caring about my gamerscore. I was doing absurd things before the name change. I particularly remember tweaking match settings in Perfect Dark Zero so I could get a "play 1,000 matches of x" achievement. Thank god that's over.

I only pay attention to gamerscores now if I want to get all the achievements for a game I really love and keep coming back to anyway. Otherwise, I can't justify spending the time.

Woo hoo! My gamerscore is 1,350. I only use my 360 for exclusives, so I only own 6 games, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Bully, Deadly Premonition, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise.

I haven't really been tracking them, no. I play more multiplatform games on the PS3 these days (generally speaking, they have less discs, I have more room on that console to install them and there's usually more copies available to rent) so my achievement point accretion has kind of dropped off. I might consider hitting 100k (if I'm not already there by then) as a fitting send-off by the time the next Microsoft console is ready to hit shelves.

I never play a game simply to get the achievements and usually will be content with whatever ones I manage to make pop during my playthrough. But if I really, really like a game, I will get all or as many of the achievements I can for it.

My gamerscore was never something I paid much attention to until recently when a buddy of mine started giving me props for being less than 800 points away from 50,000G. In fact, he seems a lot more impressed with my score than I am.

It kinda makes me wonder what it would be if I were a serious achievement whore... :D

I never bothered to exactly round out my number....I'm closing in on 100,000 though.
