    If I like the game, and the achievements aren't tedious, I generally enjoy trying to get them.

    I just play through the game and take whatever it gives me. Only in rare cases where I really like a game (Bioshock) will I even bother to try and get some. I will however always look at what one means when I get it out of curiosity.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    This is one of the dumbest pieces of baseless hyperbole I have read in a long long time. Congratulation.

    I go for the ones that look fun or easy to get, and I try to get them as soon as possible 'cause I just love me them achievements. The really mega ridiculous ones usually get ignored though.

    But Zombie Genocider is so wonderful precisely because it is really mega ridiculous!

    That's the exception that proves the rule. Achievement Unlocked.

    Zombie Genocider is the only one I bothered trying to unlock and also one of the most tedious. I wanted to get it mostly for the Mega Blaster not the stupid Achievement points.

    For at least the first attempt, I won't purposely go out and pursue achievements.

    In fact... probably post-that I won't.
    ESPECIALLY if they involve horrid grinding for no benefit (ty GW -_-

    When I first start playing a game, I try not to worry about them too much, and just let them happen. But if I start really getting into the game, then I'll try to go for most or all of them, even the ones that suck ass because they are so stupid and hard and sucky >=( What Are You Trying to Prove, for instance. harumph.

    The only game I have every achievement for, though, is Dead Space.
