I've had xbl since I first got my 360 on christmas 05. I have 13 games and 3 xbla games. My gamerscore right now is 4005......this is pathetic. As a gamer, I view my gamerscore to be totally unacceptable. It actually embarrasses me! I've never included my gamertag in my forums sig until just a few days ago (I needed to use some kind of sig while I'm "renovating" my current sig).

I know, I know, gamer points mean nothing. They don't win you anything. Not to mention that having a high gamerscore can signify a lack of a social life. As a friend once said to me, "Your gamerscore is not reflective of your ability to score" . But none of this changes the facts that I WANT a high gamerscore. I WANT to see a large number next to my gamertag.

It doesn't help that some of my friends are actually teasing me about having a low score (yes, many of my friends are dorks).

I've been looking at online guides on how to raise your gamerscore quickly and asking people for advice on various site forums. But the truth is, I AM NOT HARDCORE ENOUGH to want to play through crap games just to get an easy few thousand points. I'm not gonna suffer through cars and tmnt when I can be playing games that are more fun but dont just hand out points (games like shadowrun).

Ah well, I guess that I have all summer to break the 10k mark.

w/e Im going to sleep now:

RE out

Thats the way they want you to think, which leads you to playing their products more, which leads you to buying more, which leads to desire for an even higher score, then rinse, wash, repeat. It's a marketing strategy. As cool as is it to see your number go up, just remember that its all about the fun.

I agree with RPG10080. Don't buy into the gimmick man. Nobody in my circle of friends looks at a gamerscore and says "Wow look at this high gamerscore. This person must be the ultimate gamer; I am so unworthy".

Good luck with your gamerscore, mine's only in the hundred's because I didn't really try to get all the unlockables in my games.

"Your gamerscore is not reflective of your ability to score"
hahaha, man that was priceless.

Also i know how your feeling, it is addictive. All i can say to you is if you are having fun with them ,why not go for higher? But if they are causing you anxiety i would recommend rethinking what they do for you. If you want a decent(i say that loosely) game that you can easily get 1000 just by beating it id say go for King Kong, i haven't actually played it on my 360 but me friend has it so I've played it there.

Also if it makes you feel any better my GS is Only 2600.
