So, I recently beat Eternal Sonata. Doing so earned me 360 of the 1000 gamerscore points possible in the game. After assessing the apparent difficulty of getting all 1000 points, I decided that I wanted to try to do so. I completed this task last night and have to say that it was not at all worth it. I essentially had to play through 80% of the game on a much higher difficulty while completing random, completely unclued tasks. The worst part about said tasks was that they really didn't provide any particular advantage in game. The largest point getter was the 321G achievement called EZI worshiper. This achievement requires you to collect a large pile of useless items (nearly 20) scattered across the game whose only common feature is the use of EZI in their name. This feat is somehow just barely less worthy of reward than beating the full game.

Hopefully this experience will prevent me from allowing my OCD from forcing me to try to get all of the achievements in another game. I may not end up with an impressive gamercard, but at least I'll stay sane.
