Oblivion was/is a GREAT GAME!, but once I had the achievements I don't go back and play like I did with Morrowwind. I think about playing it, but then opt to play something that will increase my achievements instead. More of just a rival with my son to stay ahead of him. Well, I see both sides, but my take is…

If a game annoys the hell out of me (MLB 2k7 lock-ups) then all the achievements in the world won't keep me playing.

I agree that if the game/mode really does suck, it's stupid for people to play it just to get points. Only point of the points is to brag to friends, so whatever... If the game/mode is fun but didn't appeal to people regularly, I think it's great for them to encourage people to play it. Some games/modes just don't appeal to people, but when they can see there is a challenge attached to it they are encouraged to play it. Equals awesome in my book!

I think devs have put some great effort into achievements its just the easy achievements like most EA sports that need to be worked on.
