Achievement Hunting |OT| Every point counts

brunopcosta1 · August 9, 2021, 1:59pm

Just reiterating that suggestion to create a new OT for the season. You could really use a nice and updated first post!

SheepDip · August 9, 2021, 3:51pm

Yeah baby! Points on the board!

Just requested to join. Judge on TA. Thanks!

The achievements for Madden NFL 22 are ridiculous. You can easily get them all in less than 5 hours (possibily in 2.5 hours if you did Madden 21). 45 minutes in and I’m already at 515g.

There is a 10-hour trial available for GPU subscribers

Btw, if anyone wants to do those quick Online Leagues achievements just let me know

I owe a big thanks to whoever on here (can’t remember who) mentioned the difficulty/accessibility sliders in Control.

I played that game close to launch for a few hours and enjoyed it, but the difficulty/atmosphere combination had me so on edge that it was making my blood pressure go up. I decided to switch to a different game then never went back to Control.

I just restarted it the other day with significantly reduced difficulty and am having an absolute blast. I absolutely LOVE the shooting/powers/exploration combo - and I am piling up achievements at a pretty decent rate.

Completion #51:

This is now down as one of my favourite all time games, such a lot of fun and quite relaxing as it’s purely a stealth game with no real combat. Quite surprised more people haven’t completed it with just 60 people having done it since 2019, it’s reasonably short with almost no difficulty. Took me just under 10 hours in total. Thinking about stacking the Windows version now

brunopcosta1 · August 13, 2021, 7:28pm

I believe that might have been me?

100% agree with you. The game became much more enjoyable to me once I turned some of the assists on!

brunopcosta1 · August 13, 2021, 7:31pm

My latest two completions are also the latest two games I reviewed:

Completion #197: Dodgeball Academia

Estimated Difficulty: 2/10
Estimated Time: 6 hours

Completion #198: I Am Dead

Estimated Difficulty: 2/10
Estimated Time: 6 hours

profjjj · August 13, 2021, 7:34pm

Then thank you! It is literally a completely different experience when I’m not fighting tooth and nail to clear every room.

Mort · August 14, 2021, 2:26pm

Completion #71: She Sees Red.

Just a small interactive movie type of thing, nothing to write home about. I enjoyed it for what it is. Turn on the original Russian spoken language if you play it though, makes it a better experience and…things makes more sense

BadMoodJones · August 16, 2021, 4:41am

I thought you were flexing and telling us to judge you on TA. Then I realized it’s your name. For a second I got intimidated by the big pp energy

So, Hades seems a bit stingy with achievements. I’ve played about 12 hours the last few days and gotten maybe 3? Of course, the problem may be that I am not very good at it… Ha

BadMoodJones · August 16, 2021, 12:25pm

You may have unlocked somethings but the achievements may not have popped. I closed the game intentionally and opened again and got 6 achievements. I’m on skip ahead so maybe it’s buggy. Saw some forums where some steam dudes said it had popping issues. The easiest are of course beating skelly 15 times and petting Cerberus 10 times

Mort · August 16, 2021, 5:32pm

I like the new points system, feels good. We really should have an OT2 though.

Chyld989 · August 17, 2021, 1:52am

Just finished Dodgeball Academia and enjoyed it more than I expected. Super appreciated the accessibility options, which I absolutely used to be able to burn through the game faster.

Looking to start Hades tomorrow.

Zonky · August 17, 2021, 9:42am

Yeah we need that new fresh OT smell.

Speaking of smells, my latest completion left a nasty smell given the bugginess of it. There’s even a theory that the devs bugged one achievement on xbox to encourage people to buy the PC version as well. It’s not play anywhere but shares the same list.

Back onto A Plague’s Tale now which is remarkable so far.

BeardoN7x · August 17, 2021, 5:44pm

Hades achievements just aren’t unlocking for me. I’ve only got the one for petting Cerberus 10 times and intentionally closing the game down didn’t work

I’m gonna start a new save file. It’s annoying after putting a few hours into the game but the game is so good I don’t mind. Probably my favourite game I’ve played this year after Mass Effect LE

Just unlocked the Skelly one on Xcloud

Chyld989 · August 18, 2021, 3:02pm

Started Hades last night and so far it’s…okay. I’m not a huge fan of rougelites, but the addition of God Mode in this one definitely helps. I don’t know if I’ll be getting the full 1000 for this game, but I figured I’d put in at least some time since it’s our monthly game.

Since it came out mid-month are tracking points through sometime next month? Or are we still just going to the end of this month?

brunopcosta1 · August 19, 2021, 5:42pm

Jez wrote an article about what Xbox players want right now, and my tweet talking about the achievements system made the cut – it’s the first topic addressed! And more: Phil replied to Jez acknowleding everything!
