They're fun sometimes, can help the longevity witgh a simpler game.
I don't tend to grind out any achievemnts though that I don't find fun in the first place.

MOre yay than nay, if they put some thought behind them.

That's like being employee of the month at McDonald's.

It's one of the things in WoW I get the most enjoyment from.

Depends on the game. I spent WAYY too much time chasing down collections in Rift (and only in Moonshade), just so that my character could get the title "The Highlander". Other games I'll ignore them completely.

I like achievements that are a challenge, I dislike achievements where you would have to go out of your way to do something boring and stupid.


Achievements can add a new layer or spin to a game that increases its play time. Or they can be mindless drivel designed to waste your time on pointless tasks.

I never understood the appeal with achievements. It is akin to a kindergarten gold star.
