HMS Resolution Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I don't know about you guys but I could not stand to have a gamerscore that ended with anything other than 0 or 5. I can't explain it, it just looks more uniform that way. Whenever I want to get a game I check here to see if it has any of those 1G or 13G achievements and if it does I stay well clear of the title. Although this was only a real problem with early titles, I haven't seen recent titles with crazy GS achievements but you never know, might just pop the disc in and thats all it can take. Then you have to find an achievement to bring it back to an even interval of 5. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psaiwi Nenothu Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm not a fan of achievements that are not multiples of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha17 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm not saying I can't have it, but I do find it a bit strange when your gamer score ends in a 3 or 7 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenJesterHats Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i dont have a problem with in at all... as long as you 1000g the game with ''odd'' achievements... your fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistric Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I particularly despise people whose gamerscore ends in 1 or 6. They are just horrible people and nobody should be friends with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inebriated Jedi Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 YES... i dislike them and i wont buy games with them. I feel the same way. I'm really weird when it comes to numbers. I particularly despise people whose gamerscore ends in 1 or 6. They are just horrible people and nobody should be friends with them. That's a bit extreme.

McGoogles Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 That's a bit extreme. I'm assuming he's joking, seeing how his gamerscore ends in a "6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn Doug Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have a few games that have achievements like that on my tag. Only one that bothered me was Rock Band 3 because the 4g achievement is a "thanks for buying the game" achievement and the 6g to balance it was unavailable for the first week. I like my gamerscore to end in a 5 or a 0, that's just how I am. I will avoid a game like Bulletwitch, since the 1g is fricking hard and the 99g achievement that balances it is not. I am torn on Watchmen, since it isn't hard to balance it, it is just time consuming, but DJ Hero 2 is the bad one, since I have to plan everything out in order to not be left with an indivisible gamerscore. Basically, so long as it can be balanced without a high degree of difficulty, I am fine, since I will balance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Spraggsy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I would rather have a 0 or 5 at the end but I wouldn't not buy a game because it has an odd G achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOTO1981 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Crap, I got a 7G acheivement last night, now my Gamerscore looks weird, Thankfully i should be able to remedy this fairly promptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydrosugar Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 with all the games ive played and the resulting gamerscore that has been amassed, it is actually not a complicated combination of games leading to my score ending in a 'dodgy' number...it's a 30 minute session with luxor 2 resulting in 77G. Everything else i have ends in a '0' or '5'. i don't have a phobia of it, it's just that it kinda sucks that luxor 2 is the only reason why it is like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benj192 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'd prefer to have a gamerscore ending in 0 or 5 but it doesn't annoy me enough to fix it. Though it's annoying only having 91gs in Forza 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChArG1nMaLAZ0R Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I take it you do not know what the word phobia means. Almost as bad as people saying they have ocd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worhammer Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I dislike having an odd numbered gamerscore, but not so much that I won't buy a game with it. I'll just earn the achievements to fix the problem. I had that issue a few weeks ago. Was playing geodefense on my WP7, and hadn't looked at the achievements. All of a sudden, I earned 3 points and was like "WTF?!?!" so I immediately skipped ahead and earned the 7 point one. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else i have ends in a '0' or '5'. i don't have a phobia of it, it's just that it kinda sucks that luxor 2 is the only reason why it is like that Luxor 2 did it for me too, in fact I just posted this in another thread: I had a non-even gamerscore (ending 1 or 6) for a few years, because of playing Luxor 2 ages ago and getting an achievement which put it out of sync, but because I didn't like the game much and got rid of it I never got the one to balance it out. It never really bothered me, if anything it made a nice change, but after a while it did start to get a bit annoying. So when I played Rock band 3 there was another odd achievement, which put me back to a 5 or 0 gamerscore, but I've never gone for the simple 6 point achievement for linking to the RBN or whatever it is, purely so that my gamerscore looks "normal" again! Apart from the 519 score for RB3 that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
