Motivation and achievements

Only with Binding of Isaac. Other than that it's usually an eye sore, looking at the achievement bar not at 100% or at least 80%.

Absolutely yes. With achievements the game has more challenges, so... it's more fun. Imho of course. After all, it's nice when you see "Achievement unlocked".. :D.. that's the reason why all the Clients (first Steam, now uPlay, Origin etc..) have achievements.

Not really motivated by achievements. But they've sure changed my way of playing games. Now when I approach the end of a play-through, I check which achievements I've missed. That's a good way to know if I've left some big chunk of gameplay out.

But most of the time, achievements just feel like an artificial way to prolong the time spent on a game. And that's not fun.
The kind of achievements I hate :

"collect each and every 1247 piece of crap that are disseminated all over the game map"

"kill 100 enemies with each of the weapons"

"win the game as a bad guy" and "win the game as a good guy"

"win boss fight B without using weapon W" with weapon W being the best weapon you should use in this peculiar fight

yes, but I'm really stupid and have no idea why I do that

Depends on the achievements. Some inspire you to play the game in a way you otherwise wouldn't think of. Others are just a pure grind or just plain boring.

hmm.. actually yes

I guess I like to get them sometimes. For example, in TF2 mainly because of the weapons but there are some interesting achievements, like HL2 E2 - the gnome carrying one. My brother did it on xbox and I plan on doing it on PC.

I mainly see them as a side thing, a bit of gravy to top off the game. Sometimes I browse through them to see if there are any ones like "Do using " or ones that change the gameplay somehow, adding extra longevity to the game.

i dont care about achievements for the most part

actually yes

If a game has no central story, then I do achievements. For example, Binding of Isaac or Super Hexagon. The only way you can "beat" either of those games is to get 100% on them.

I never take any notice of them.

If I happen to really like the game I'll try to get as many achievements for it as possible.

I like when I get an achievement but I don't usually play a game because of them. The most I can do is try to get most of them if I really like the game, but that's the only case.

Yes i do XD
I don't know why but I want to get them all.

I tend to mostly play games with achievements plus trading cards as well.

Sometimes I'll choose to play a game with achievements over a game that has none, but I won't keep playing if I don't like it just cause it happens to have achievements. It's not the sole deciding factor, but it does have relevance. If I end up really enjoying the game, I'll attempt to get as many achievements as I can, but even then I won't go out of my way to 100% them if they involve doing things I'm not into.

Doesn't make a difference for me.

Yes, but most on Xbox, because of Gamerscore

Yes, totally i love to complete achivements!

Being an achievement hunter, yep. Achievements usually give me a goal other than just "beat the game on the highest difficulty" and sometimes could reveal stuff I missed story-wise. That said, I still don't like retarded achievements (even worse if their game is crappy too)- "Start Universe Sandbox 10^4 = 10000 times" my ass.

not a "buy or not to buy" factor, but yes, i like to complete achivments when they are interesting enough. not the classical "Reach this checkpoint for achivment, yay!" more like "do this random thing, and get an achivment" like some of the achivments on magicka like: "this is MAGICKA!" or some of the achivments on Trine 2, like the one where you have to stack x amount of objects and step on that for a few seconds.

Yes. I love to earn achievements. Sometimes it is enough just to play. But sometimes require us to achieve agility, cunning or reflexes scriptures (eg, achievement of the game Portal 2 - complete the test room 10 in 70 seconds). I would recommend performing achievements. You can enjoy not only the joy of the game, but also the performance of these challenges. That's my opinion :)

Sorry for bad english, so i'm 20, but i was learning German a lot of time... Now I have to catch up. :)

No, because I know I won't be able to complete all of them. I'm only motivated to play game I like.

Yeah
