Are xbox 360 Achievements for GTA 4 really that important?

they arent achievements were added into games to give gamers something else to do after they have beat the game. Just additional challenges outside of beating the game. But in GTA doing things like finding all 250 pigeons is ludicrous.

Well.... the achievements are just for hardcore players. it gives ufun things to mess around with during and after the game. It helps broaden what u see so u don't just play it and drop it. they arent NECESSARY, just fun to get sometimes. altho hardcore gamers try for all their achievements, but i say screw it... play it how u wanna. =)

well... achievements are really to prove how good u r at video games. They aren't really that necessary
