    Sounds like you need to work out more, then.

    I'll do ones that seem fun, which is why I like the AC ones cause they often involve doing something amusing that only bored people would try, like climbing the tallest object in the game and proceeding to parachute off it and see how far you can get. I never cared for games with multiplayer achievements cause they are pretty boring and require more time and effort than I can put into them. I have a job and a life now, I can't live like the arcade scene was still alive.

    Depends on the achievement. If it indicates that I am a sadsack who spends months grinding for some stupidly difficult bollocks in Halo then no, I'm not going to pursue it. On the other hand if it indicates that I am a badass who is really great at XCOM then you best believe I'm all over it.

    I can't say I've ever been overly bothered with achievements. The only time I'm likely to bother going out of my way to get an achievement is if it's for doing something awesome like most recently the trophy in Borderlands 2 for killing a fully leveled up Goliath

    Yeah, I don't usually go for multiplayer ones either. Not much of an online player and most of the time they don't sound very fun to try and get.

    I'm a bit of a mixed bag on achievements. I'll give my all to getting achievements what most people would go "but why?" about, stuff like sitting there and grinding my brain away as I plough through Halo Reach on Solo Legendary with no "mini-hacks" (where the player messes around with tracking forwards and back to load/unload enemies on the map making certain levels a lot easier than they are/ought to be) though perhaps ironically I find the mental challenge of working out the way through those sort of challenges fun but I do know when to walk away, for example CoD 4 Modern Warfare I have 980 out of 1000 points on. I could go for the final 20 which was simply by completing the bonus mission at the end of the game "Mile High Club" on the highest difficulty. I have the skillset to do that mission given however I would have to figure out how/rely on some luck to push through 30 - 40 enemies on the highest difficulty in under 90 seconds and then finish the mission's final encounter with a headshot perfectly placed I decided that it wouldn't be worth it. I had 960 achievements on Resident Evil 5 prior to the release of the DLC and could easily in 15 mins or so boosted that to 980/1000 but decided it wouldn't be worth it.

    However most games I play I will generally not care about every achievement in the game and will rely upon enjoying the game. That being said I really need to re-purchase Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV and Saints Row 3, I understand why I had to sell those games but it bothers me.

    I really enjoyed doing the Halo Legendary Solo playthroughs. I did it on 3, even though you don't need to, and it was intense as hell. Made the campaign super enjoyable for me, which is important in the later games because the story is nowhere near as good as CE xD.

    Gotta catch em all! Nah, they're fun to get but it depends on how much I like the game if I'll spend more time and split some hairs to get them all.

    Don't mind them but rpgs have really stupid ones at times "collect all items", and stuff like that. Not everyone has the time to do that. And sometimes there are things that you can miss and you'll have to start over on a new game just to get.
