Yeah, it’s weird. I guess I’ll just wait and see if they patch it.

Decided to play a little more of Morkredd today and damn, it is addictive! The puzzles are quite simple (especially when compared to Call of the Sea and Manifold Garden) and the game is quite small (there is an option to activate a timer while playing – I’ve reached the last level in 57 minutes). Whenever you die you can quit to the main menu and continue from your last auto-save and you will still unlock the no deaths achievement. And when playing on the Series X there is basically no loading at all, so it is pretty quick to do so.

I just need to finish the last level without dying to unlock some rare achievements: beat the game, beat the game without dying and beat the game in under 120 minutes. Then I have to somehow finish the game in co-op mode while using two controllers, because the game does not have online co-op and I don’t have anybody to play with in those pandemic times :stuck_out_tongue:

During this second playthrough I need to do some miscellaneous achievements + collectibles aswell. But since this is an Xbox console exclusive, there are no guides at all.

855

Is there any interviews or insight into how achievements get made for games? I’ve always wondered who designs them and why they choose certain activities to be achievements over others. Cyberpunk is a game that does achievements poorly in my opinion so im curious what the person who designed them was thinking.

There was this interview with Dirt 5’s lead game designer a few months ago:

The Last of Us is the worst game for achievements/trophies as far as I can remember. I believe you can finish the game and unlock only the trophy for doing so, as everything else is “Collect ALL of X collectible”, “Craft EVERY weapon”, etc.

857

DMC4 is a game i played for 13 hours and when credits rolled i only had 40 gamerscore.

That interview was interesting but there’s no way most developers put in as much thought as Codemasters does. I was surprised by how seriously they took it.

I reached the top at the eleventh hour, it seems! I got 335g for finishing Morkredd’s story with 8 minutes remaining!

But yeah, I was surprised to win this week since I was not really aiming for it. And it’s also good to see some variety in the ranking for two straight weeks after so many weeks dominated by @FairyEmpire and @Plagueborne :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m loving this phase of yours! :stuck_out_tongue:

863

The Raven Remastered was pretty good, nice that it was Games with Gold. I probably wouldn’t have bought it myself. I’m hopefully going to finish Metro Last Light before it leaves PC game pass, and then do the standalone stack on console. :raised_hands:

Does Morkredd unlock achievements for both P1 and P2? @brunopcosta1

865

I’m not really sure since it didn’t prompt me to login with a second account. It should be easy to test, though, since there is an achievement for simply starting a coop game.

866

Okay interesting, thank you. If it didn’t prompt a second sign in, I doubt it unlocks for both but I may give it a shot tomorrow! My wife would want to play co op if she could unlock achievements as well! haha

Completion #101: Freddy Spaghetti

image
image889×194 61.8 KB

  • Estimated Difficulty: 2/10
  • Estimated Time: 2 hours

Freddy Spaghetti is one of those physics-basesd games with the sole purpose of annoying you. There are only two buttons and each one controls one end of the spaghetti. And there is actually a story! You are a spaghetti who discovers that people eat… well, spaghetti, and then you go berserk destroying everything and travelling back in time and becoming a sheriff and… well, yeah.

You just need to beat 50 main levels + 5 bonus levels to get the full completion. Some of them are REALLY annoying, but since they are short you can beat them after a few tries.

January is not going to be great for the featured game poll. The only new release we know to be joining Game Pass in the beginning of the next month is Killer Queen Black. Hopefully they announce next month’s lineup by the end of this year!

I saw the Reactor X update and I actually didn’t do it. I think its best if I don’t give them anymore money. The other 3 games are pretty new aren’t they? I would have thought it would take longer to update those.

I’m not quite sure since I was not aware of the publisher before this nonsense started. I just saw the new lists pop up on TA and I was certain it was from them.

If I was to guess, I believe their next stunt will be to “optimize” their games to the Series X to gain more visibility.

872

Hmm, I have some of those.
