They are important for me and i hardly try to get em, if i like the game.
Since i am always online and my friends check my achievements i get kind of respect if i am playing that game with my friends.
I made Afro Samurai 1000G and most of my friends tell me how did you do that? so i get kind of a self confident.
Hmm
They are important for you, yet you hardly try to get them?
You get respect from your friends by playing video games?
If gives you self-confidence to get gamerscore?
Wow

In what concerns the thread itself, I only care with Shogun 2: Total War, just because unlocking Steam achievements actually grants you unlocks for multiplayer.
Otherwise no, not so much, except Team Fortress 2 just because they're so many and I almost have them all (got most of them by accident, now I do try to get the ones I lack).
