Only me whos so much steam achievment addicted...?

You are not alone :).
I don't buy games because of achievements only though.

Hell, steam needs something comparable to Xbox Live`s gamerscore..

I like having achievements in games in moderation. I never uninstall games until I have beaten it, or if it has achievements, I have beaten it and gotten 100% achievements. This means that I have several games in my library that haven't been uninstalled because of stupidly insane achievements that I'll likely never get, or games with DLC required achievements. Sure, I could use the third party program to get them done, but while it would technically be 100%, I would never feel like I had 100%ed the game myself. games should have achievements in moderation. give us standard game completion achievements, some skill based achievements, some collection based achievements, and NO MULTIPLAYER, LUCK, OR TIME BASED ACHIEVEMENTS.

Yeah, I wish Valve would work more on integrating achievements for games and helping developers and publishers. There are a large number of achievements that are broken and the games, abandoned.

The thing that's missing from Steam achievements is some sort of system for all the achievements to pool into one measure, like e.g. having each achievement associated with a number of points, then the total number of points can be seen on a user's profile or something. Right now, there's no bragging rights involved with getting achievements at all.

I like the "binding of Isaac" way of achieving, getting a "medal" and an item in game at the same time!

I don't care about achievements one way or another, I just wish there was a way to disable the pop up that appears every time you get one.
I find it rather intrusive and it takes me out of the game, when I'm playing I want to focus on the game world not random miscellania.

well, i do care about achievements, i always do my best in my tries to catch 'em all!
freankly speaking, it's just sociocuntism

no achievements are useless

Easiest way to get replayability out of a game from suckers.

I like ones that encourage you to try different things in a game, but not ones that are like 'hey, play our game more so that you can get this'.

IE in Alien Swarm, "Brutal campaign, hardcore and the level speed run" achievements encourage you to further play into the game, or try the harder difficulties - actually most encourage trying out all the different mechanics of the game. However all the ones that are like kill 1k/5k/25k/100k or get 100/250/500 kills with X weapon feel like they're just grinds.
Personally I love achievements though not to the extent of OP where I'll buy games just for them, but I'll certainly prioritise those that have achievements which give a secondary goal to the game.

Also fiarly pluggy but there are several 3rd party websites that emulate the XBL score thing if you're into that.

I used to be but now i play non-steam games mostly still have a bit of an addiction everytime i play...

I would be addicted to achievements on steam if they actually awarded you with something or had a trophies/achievements system like ps3/xbox where you can show them off.

Problem is that those achievments in steam are so different from each other..some 60$ games have 20 achievments, some indie games for 5 bucks have 150 achievments.. Stuff like this would need to get changed before steam is even able to get something running like on Xbox Live or the Throphysystem from PSN

I like those challenging: beat the level under 5 minutes, finish the level without a single death, etc. I hate the "grind" achievements: Catch 1000 fish (Torchlight), kill 1000 enemies with every single weapon, etc.

I used to care for them, but then came to the conclusion that it's pretty much pointless, and I'm just wasting my time with it. Based on my own experience, achievements can be nice every once in a while, as the pop-up window makes you feel you've done some progress or something interesting, but achievement whoring has a negative impact on one's gaming experience.

I like them very much too!!!But I prefer to complete the game normally and then beat it again for achievements.

I only feel like this for Portal 2. Other games are...if I make it I do, if not IDC :P

I like achievs but I don't buy games just for them. Would be cool if all games had em tho =)

They're kind of cool, I guess, but I never really strive for 100% completion unless there's actually a reason to do so. I mean, I'd 100% old GTA games without achievements period, but that's because the game gave me in-game rewards to go for it. I think Tenchu Z or whatever it was for the Xbox 360 was the only game I ever 100% finished, and that's because it was just entertaining enough and the achievements weren't difficult at all to complete.

With that said, I will frantically try my best to rack up achievements if it's Dungeon Defenders style - finish certain achievements, get trophies in your tavern and eventually unlock semi-unique pets. Useful? Not totally. Cool? Most definitely. I'd work as hard in other games if they just gave me shiny things for an in-game pixel wall!

Well I finished Dead Space on the PS3 2 times for 100% of all Throphys :D

One time regualary on normal with all weapons,

and one time on nightmare difficulty ONLY with plasmacutter ;)

Was hell of fun and freaking hard..but I made it and I dont regret anything :D

I like to show off to my friends.

That's the only reason I get all games: achievements.

For me, yes, kinda.
I refuse to buy new Humble Botanicula Debut because only 1 game has achievements.
