    For some reason it's not showing the vote buttons on this page. As for the question, I don't care whether it ends in a 5 or 0. My gamerscore currently ends with a 6, and it doesn't bother me at all.

    I can't vote either. That said, I don't care what my GS ends in.

    same issue, can't vote.

    But also could care less. my main goal is simply to have as large an amount of GS as possible

    Only if I'm aiming for a specific number- I stopped my Gamerscore on every multiple of exactly 10,000 so far, but the other 9,999 times I'm not that fussed.

    I actually enjoy being different and not ending in a 5 or 0. I would certainly rather try a game and see what it has to offer than say "oh no 5 and 0 are more pure than 4 and 9! 4 and 9 were tainted by the devil and can't be trusted!" I'm never going to avoid a game because of some silly number that literally nobody cares about other than me, and it's really just moderately amusing for me.
    I AM PEKE?

    Can’t vote. But if I could, I’d say it doesn’t matter. I play em all and it doesn’t reflect how I play.

    It won't let me vote, but I actually like the fact that my gamer score ends with something other than a 0 or 5. Sure it means that I have an incomplete game on my list, but I don't give a damn. I know I'll never have 100% completion and I'm totally fine with that.

    Yes! I walked around with a weird gamerscore for years.
    Same reason I skip games like the XBO version of Dead Island and panicked while playing Unmechanical which also has weird gamer score. But that game is easy.

    All I care is that my gamerscore is higher than the person I am comparing myself to.

    If it is higher by 1 point or 5 points I could care less. The more the merrier. I would always prefer to unlock a 6 point achievement over a 5 point.

    GRAW crushed those dreams long ago, so I've since moved on and no longer care.

    If I could vote, I'd say that I care, even though I am currently stuck with an odd score. Waiting to see if the game I played updates the last two achievements before trying to fix it.

    I don't like leaving my gamerscore on non 0/5 values for too long (mostly because when I hit big milestones, like 100,000 GS, I like to land on the exact number, rather than 100,002 for example), but that won't stop me from playing a game with achievements like that. Did a game have one odd-numbered achievement? Then it'll have another achievement that can fix it, it's not that hard.
    This is a signature. It has words in it.

    I can't vote, but I'd go with the "could care less/will still play the game" option. I'm into playing games for the sake of having fun/relaxing. I don't have enough free time to strategically align my achievement unlocks to have certain number gamer scores.

    I really don’t care about gamerscore
