Sounds like a pretty good update that it needed, but there are somethings I really could care less about like achievements, I do not understand the obsession with them.

Achievements are fun. You have more goals rather than just to play through the game.

REQUIRING Achievements for something on the other sucks... Like Halo 3 armor perms.

Most people aren't even obsessed about them but generally the idea is well received.

I used to think this when achievements were a new thing, until I played Left 4 Dead and (probably because of the not very high amount of content) we spent some time trying to do the achievements and it was a lot of fun and was a cheap way to increase the replayability.  Mostly I just ignore them but in some games where I want to an excuse to replay once I've completed it's nice to be set some achieveable goals.

I'm an intelligent PC Gamer. I don't own any consoles.

 

I LOVE achievements :D                     Made me buy Universe At War (for 9 euro though).

 

It's cool to have lots of difficult achievements on a popular MP game since others will envy you and go "how the hell did he get THAT one??!     Kinda like I and a friend went when somebody had gotten "Sheng Long is in another castle" on Street Fighter 2 HD Remix (You must beat arcade mode without using continues until you're at the last boss Akuma!). I tried over an hour defeating Akuma but it just wasn't possible!   He's just like Ruy but he got more moves and takes less damage since the difficulty went up since I never lost until I got to him....

 

I plan to get every single achievement on Battle.Net (except the WoW ones) to be able to slap my e-peen in peoples faces :grin:
