Tarm: Well I'm not willing to try. I would be if it wasn't for the fact that if something like this is introduced there is no way in any dimension that it will get removed no matter how sucky it might be.

amok: That's just your loss, to be honest, as it is a really great game, and one of the very few examples of games where achievements actually do have a purpose and are not just "sucky".
Ah you mean only the game and not the whole Galaxy shebang. I have no problem with trying only the game. :)

Acriz: TinyE, you seem a little out of touch lately. Every second post of you is asking the Op what he means or that you are lost by it and confused. What happened? Is time being mean to you? Did your age catch up to you?

Emob78: He's not alone. At least half of the threads I read just make me want to reply with 'WAT'?
To be honest, none of the threads surprise me. It seems like, everyone wants to have the same things everywhere he goes. So people ask for features that are on steam, on facebook, on public restroom stalls and so on.

That's social media for you. Human social webbing, where the highest standards tend to be set by the lowest common denominator.

Maverick89: Uplay has a level system where you gain xp by getting achievements, Galaxy could make something like that,gaining xp by buying games, ahcievements, playtime. It's not some major feature but it would be nice.

Yeshu: So you want pointless social media features in Galaxy that are there only to make people with no lives feel better about themselves (e-pen1s power!).
I don't use Galaxy, so I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the OP's suggestion, especially since there is way too much more urgent stuff that needs fixing here, but why are so many people against the idea itself (I'm quoting Yeshu, but this is directed to all others with similar responses)?

Lots of good old games were about getting points and just seeing a number on the screen. So why is, say, Wolfenstein's 3D You got N bonus points for collecting all treasure on level an acceptable game feature, but OP's You got 50 XP for achievement Finish Level Using Only Mellee Weapons in Game X a "pointless social media feature", "e-penis power" and "Who's the smart boy? You are! Yes you are!"?

Granted some games have silly achievements like "open the options menu", but these are really a minority. Most of them do actually require you to put in some effort, so you really have to try hard to "kill 10 enemies using environmental damage on level 8" just as you had to try hard to beat level 4 of Duke Nukem 3D below Par Time.

I remember as kids we used to try to get out initials in the high score table of those arcade games (I never managed it...). The video games e-penis length bragging is as old as video games themselves, and not something that started with Steam and uplay.
