Achievement Hunting |OT| Every point counts

Chyld989 · May 11, 2022, 5:04pm

68.05% here, and that’s definitely been going up lately due to playing games after collectible guides have come out No doubt it’ll drop now that I’m going through the Kingdom Hearts games, though. I’d love to get the full 4000GS for 1.5, but there’s no way I’m playing through these games more than once. One playthrough takes long enough as-is.

CryOn · May 11, 2022, 5:14pm

It’s not that bad. For all 4 games I spend around 300h for all achievements. With some planning I had to play

KH1 2 times
CoM 1 time with each character (watch 358/2 days before playing CoM to unlock all cards which is required for the all cards achievement)
KH2 2 times
BBS 1 time with each character

Ok, sounds good…

Aw hell no, lol.

CryOn · May 11, 2022, 5:43pm

After getting all achievements in Monster Hunter World every game is “not that bad”. Hunting for freaking crown monsters with a spawn rate of 1,5% and 20min kill time was pain. 600h because of freaking RNG.

Mort · May 11, 2022, 5:47pm

Hehe I admire the dedication, but I have too many games in the backlog to be spending that amount of time on single games. Wish I had more time to play, but it is what it is.

Chyld989 · May 11, 2022, 10:01pm

While I appreciate the advice, I’m gonna have to agree with Mort here:

I’m currently on a pace where I finish two or three games for every three or four I buy/get added to Game Pass that I care about, so I can’t dedicate 300h into anything at this point. I’m even hesitant to start Assassin’s Creed Valhalla because I know that one will be over 100h and I 100%'d Origins and Odyssey, so I’d like to do the same with Valhalla.

But just remember everyone, Xbox has no games

Completion #40: Valkyria Chronicles 4

This was a hell of a completion to say the least. Valkyria Chronicles 4, for anyone who doesn’t know the series which is likely most people since I was the 265th to complete it and it’s been out for 4 years lol, its a turn based strategy game by Sega with some JRPG like shenanigans. It’s a interesting mix of strategy gameplay as well as third person shooter, and a lot of RNG madness. It was a fun game for me for the most part, the story was decent, gameplay was challenging and made you think a lot, which I enjoy and if it wasn’t for some annoying RNG luck, which I have none of haha

, I’d have said this was one of my favorite games I’ve played recently. It’s a very unique game that I thoroughly enjoyed, it is long winded being about 60 hours long to 100% the game and felt like it dragged on a little too long, though there is a easy difficulty that you can breeze through if you wanted to if you’re only playing for the completion. All in all Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a unique strategy/3rd person shooter/JRPG game that stands out from other games of it’s kind, if there really is any others of its kind lol, and it’s a game I think will stick with me, for both better and worse, for a long time.

Quick question…. I got a specific game that I’ll have done for a specific milestone, but How the hell do you do that TA completion card?

This one’s in my backlog. Without Starfield this year, maybe I actually get to it!

BrigadiersBlue · May 12, 2022, 6:52pm

If you’re going for the completion I’ve got some tips that’ll save you a lot of time that I wish I knew going in lol.

BrigadiersBlue · May 12, 2022, 6:52pm

No problem!

SheepDip · May 12, 2022, 7:34pm

I did that one years back. I remember it being a very fun completion

Step aside Jason. This Friday the 13th, I celebrate my own accomplishment! This one’s been a long one in the making.

Happy F13 everybody!

BrigadiersBlue · May 14, 2022, 2:46pm

It was a fun completion for sure, I hope we get more games in the series on Xbox in the future!

Every Gamerscore earned from now until next Monday 06:20 AM (UTC) will count towards week #88’s ranking. Every Gamerscore earned until June 1, 2022 06:20 AM (UTC) will also count towards May’s ranking.

Don’t forget that this topic is first and foremost destined to talk about all your achievements and trophies, discuss completions and even try to gather people for a boosting session! The ranking is just a side activity to take part in. Good luck everyone and happy hunting!

Chyld989 · May 16, 2022, 8:45pm

Oof, 1 point. Turns out having your basement flood and needing to move everything out of it so the carpet can be ripped up is not good for the gamerscore. I’ll also be packing and moving within the next couple of months, so I imagine things will stay slow for me for a while. I’m still in 3rd place for now, though!

MasterLeePhD · May 17, 2022, 1:03pm

I’ve been playing whilst backing up 200TB of personal data and has been the perfect grind fest for it. Superb music, Art and writing. Gameplay is pretty fun once you start to combo enemies with 3 party members. Everything else is fetch quests and grinding.

Going to check out Umurangi now. Good luck people
