Achievement Hunting |OT| Every point counts

Chyld989 · July 12, 2022, 9:25pm

Yeah, reading your descriptions of the game reminds me of how much it has changed since launch. I got the 1000 back then and had to actually find someone that would invite me to their base that was only one jump from the center, which still wasn’t too hard, but a lot harder than randomly jumping until I found a good spot.

I really wish they’d go back and add more achievements to that game (but multiples of 5 this time).

Mort · July 14, 2022, 3:30pm

Completion #99

I enjoyed this quite a bit. It’s very short and very weird but I liked the Stephen King vibes and the old school presentation. Cool little game.

Shadowgasm · July 14, 2022, 6:35pm

The votes are in and Powerwash Simulator is our Gamepass game of the month for July!

Mort · July 14, 2022, 6:48pm

Yay!

binarymelon · July 16, 2022, 2:41am

Gave PowerWash Simulator a try tonight and did not enjoy it. It’s more tedious than using an actual pressure washer and it does not control great with a controller. Hopefully no one is going for a completion this month.

NierlyCrazy · July 16, 2022, 12:37pm

My job here is done.

MasterLeePhD · July 16, 2022, 10:14pm

Mission complete! These were a blast to finish and now I’m kinda sad it’s all over. If you’re planning on getting the 1000, I suggest you make plenty of saves and plan ahead. Number 4 on TA to Complete Shadowrun Hong-Kong.

Now to find something to replace this new addiction.

Mort · July 16, 2022, 10:33pm

Very nice! Is it possible to plan ahead without spoilers?

SheepDip · July 16, 2022, 11:19pm

Any good step by step guides?

MasterLeePhD · July 16, 2022, 11:52pm

The only guides available are from steam, but aren’t perfect as some achievements are slightly different. They help a lot tho.

Always bring a decker
Save all the time and before any major event
Play on easy
Save some karma to lvl up just incase you need them to bump up a certain skill at any time
Talk to everybody and always check your computer for new missions

@Mort I looked at all the achievements before hand and didn’t spoil too much for me. The first game was pretty easy barring some combat achievements. The second game is not too bad but you need to read up on a few things before you start or you will need multiple playthroughs. Hong Kong is the hardest with 60 achievements and requires a couple of different endings for the dlc at the end.

Or just say screw it and just enjoy them

The game lore and atmosphere are what hooked me. Really some of the best games I’ve played this year and really hope MS continue to invest in the shadowrun series.

Thanks. Yeah I might just play blind, I only go for achievements first time around if i can do it without spoiling myself.

Not many Guides for Shadowrun Returns apart from the few tips on True Achievements.

Every Gamerscore earned from now until next Monday 06:20 AM (UTC) will count towards week #97’s ranking. Every Gamerscore earned until August 1, 2022 06:20 AM (UTC) will also count towards July’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!

Shadowgasm · July 20, 2022, 4:22pm

Well, that was an experience.

BRiT · July 20, 2022, 4:23pm

Damn, and here I thought I was making fast progress, but I’m nowhere close to finishing all achievements.

Shadowgasm · July 20, 2022, 5:04pm

Forgot I beat this a few weeks back. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great and was very repetitive with enemy balance being wildly off at times. So basically, a Kemco game.

Shadowgasm · July 20, 2022, 10:38pm

Finally got the last achievement in this one. Only had to go offline and set my systems date to 2 years ago to trick the game into thinking It’s been a year+ since I last played. Great achievement…

NierlyCrazy · July 22, 2022, 4:11am

Totally been slacking on keeping my completions updated over here (aside from Peppa of course). Here’s what I’ve completed through July so far. Nothing too crazy…. Yet.
