Being well into my Gamerscore, I love it!

Basically, they were annoyed that there are certain disparages within the Gamerscore points system (some easy Achievements in easy games award the same amount of points as hard Achievements in hard games), so they award more Achievement points to Achievements that are harder to obtain than easy ones. The formula is simple: it’s based on how many people have an Achievement compared to how many people have played the game.
You can find out a whole manner of interesting facts about the games you have played and the Achievements you have earned. For example, my best Achievement in terms of ratio is the TCAF Pilot’s Commendation from Project Sylpheed, my highest ratio on a Live Arcade title is 2.634 (Lumines Live! – which is strange as I 200/200ed it the day it came out – why do people find Lumines so difficult? My years of mastery on the PSP version probably helped…), and the game I really should have more Achievements in is The Darkness, which I gave up as a bad job before I got too far in. Not only that, but they also offer in-line guides for certain Achievements and anyone can contribute a review for any Xbox 360 game, both of which users can easily publish themselves. You can also set yourself goals, display Achievements you are proud of in your Trophy Case, and quickly and easily advertise that you are wanting to boost multiplayer Achievements in specific games.
We’ve got a Random Fury! league table here: http://www.trueachievements.com/leaderboard.aspx?leaderboardid=49, and I use my True Achievement RSS feed on the left-hand sidebar there.
<------------------------ Interesting how our league ID number is number 49. We loved this shit back when it was Beta! If you have an Xbox 360, are interested in your Gamerscore and enjoy stats, I urge you to check it out. That's http://www.trueachievements.com/.
Go on, you know you want to.
Just been going through my achievements to see if I’m any good, and it appears that my top one is;
Achieved Grade “SS”Try to become the strongest player on DOA Online. 340 (50) 6.81 17 Feb 06
In DOA Online. In fact most of mine where from years ago, seems I’ve become a worse gamer over the years. I’ve lost my touch….
I now have a goal though, I need to catch up to you toxic 🙂 Only 15,000 GS to go…..
That’s only 15 full games fully completed or 75 arcade games fully completed… You’ll catch me in no time!
Pretty good ratio on that DOA one, better than all mine I think.
I haven’t got a good achievement (as in one that scores highly on the site) in quite a while. Even doing Call of Duty 4 MW2 on veteran only nets you a few extra points. Since I’m gonna have a bit more time on my hands soon then I should be able to get to play a few more games. Its on!!
Catch me if you can!
They’ve really toned down Achievements nowadays anyway, most games have lots and lots worth small amounts each rather than how it was in the early days where some games would only have 5 or 6 Achievements worth hundreds of points each.
