I noticed that after completing an achievement, I am awarded some points under the Player Profile.  I am hoping I will be able to apply them towards DLC, but that may just be wishful thinking.  Anyone have any idea what they are for?

[Mrbluray]

Achievements are useless Xbox 360 garbage.

[iampotato]

I was hoping the same

[TheMadJack]

Even if they're for the 360, it must have some use, no? I vote for DLC download for X achievement points!

[adastrum]

If only. They're merely there for bragging rights.



It does give you something to strive for though. I'm an achievement fan.

the point value is for comparing the size of your E-peen with other people

[TheNecroFiend]

Achievments are just for people with small e-peens. Now Mass Effect actualy had a point to them.

Yup it's for seeing how you measure up.

Yeah, I wish more games used them like that.

[The Angry One]

I don't mind achievements for their own sake, harmless enough.

It's when games become ABOUT the achievements that they start becoming garbage, not mentioning any games in particular.... *cough*Oblivion*cough*.

As for Dragon Age, they're fine. I suppose Mass Effect style rewards would be nice, but eh. At least the medals look pretty.

[Shannara13]

I like achievements. They give you something to work towards.

[Nattfare]

So the points then are pointless?

<- Looks at his small e-peen and then at the few achievments he has gotten and just sighs...

I So agree with this, i still dont know what the achievement points are there for?
Are they supposed to Encourage you to unlock more achievemenst?
because honestly i have no idea what they are there for :innocent:

[Negative1979]

Would be awesome if they could be converted to Bioware points

Well, for one thing, it can easily be used a standardized measure of relative intelligence. That is, if the subject's reaction to the achievement system ranges from neutral to positive, chances are that the individual is mentally handicapped.

[FalloutBoy]

I like having an achievement checklist, but the points are (hehe) pointless.

[Astalder]

At best achievements encourage you to play the game differently or push yourself. In this case they really just encourage you to try every possible path. They have zero value outside what they mean to you.



That said I personally enjoy trying to 100% games I really like, but only games I really like. That's my version of beating a game now in this age of generally pretty easy games.

Many PC games have achievements now - and I am actually playing DA:O on the PC.  I understand why there are achievements, I just wonder why there are points associated with them.

[tr0tsky]

There are points associated with them because people like to get points. They have no purpose outside of giving people something to work towards, or to compare with others.

I do not understand the disdain that some PC gamers have for us who haven't had the capital to invest in a PC that can play current games such as DA:O.  It's really offensive, you know.

Achievements go to Xbox360 gamerscores.  If  you look at the Xbox 360 gamertags who spend all their hours playing multiplayer CoD and Halo, their gamerscores are very low.  Us who enjoy playing games thru such as Mass Effect, Bioshock, Oblivion, etc have much higher gamerscores.  It is interesting to note on my own Friends list that my frieds with the higehst gamersores always seemed to be playing the same genre of game I was

Ah, I see... so the points are actually used by the xbox 360 gamercard thing and they just left it in for the PC version as well. So harder achievements have higher points associated with them? Not that it matters to me since I'm on the PC, I'm just curious, I guess.

If you sign on to XBoxlive.com, you may be able to get a gamercard based upon PC games you have played.  Can't say for sure.

There are always about 50 achievements and 1000 gamerpoints per Xbox 360 Title (Xboxlive Arcade usually about 200gp).  Most achievements are 5,10, 15 points.  25 is a lot for an achivement.  I have obtained some 50 pt achievements and I have seen one as high as 100gp. 

If you are curious...

Not at all. They are completely arbitrary. A lot of games will give you achievement points for basic game progression, for example, you may get one achievement for finishing a single level of a twenty-level-long game. Some games like Soul Calibur will even give you achievement points when you simply turn them on or access any of their basic game modes for the first time. And although there are games like Assassin's Creed, which may require you to spend hours and hours on mindless "exploration", finding hundreds of randomly placed flags throughout the world, in the end the only thing you'll still get is... ta-daaa... another 20 or 40 achievement points that serve no purpose whatsoever. In older days, ultra-long extra optional quests like that would at least give you some sort of an in-game item, spell or weapon. What happened with the kinds of player rewards that were actually attractive and had in-game meanings?

The points on the PC version may be for MS Live or whatever the PC version of Live is. I dunno. I don't pay much attention to my Xbox gamerscore. I use the points on a game by game basis to see how far along I am in terms of unlocking achievements. But for the most part I really don't care too much about unlocking all of them.



Some games I do try to get as many achievements or trophies as I can simply for something more to do. Some of them can be challenging and I find they can add to the fun. Others are just give aways or ridiculously monotonous. I'd love to see more games like ME come along and use them for in-game benefits. That would be lovely. I was somewhat surprised when DA:O didn't do this.
