Thoughts on the Xbox Gamerscore
For those of you not familiar with the Xbox, they have a Gamerscore feature that gives you points when you get certain achievements in a game. For instance, if you pass a level you'd get 20 points. They have all kinds of achievements but one thing I haven't seen: Negative Achievements.
Now I know we all need positive reinforcement to keep playing our games but I really think that moments of true stupidity should be recognized. For instance:
- In a single player campaign mode, killed 5 times or more by the same bad guy: -5
- In a Halo 3 ranked playlist, killed 3 times while reloading when you should have been using your melee attack: -10
- In any FPS, walking around with your head looking at the floor or ceiling for 5+ minutes: -25
Hmmm... after a quick search on Google it looks like I'm not the only one with the idea.
