Have I mentioned how much I dislike Halo games? This one finally had decent controls, which was a nice bonus, but not giving me the achievements for completing three of the levels despite being the host and my co-op buddy getting all of them definitely makes me hate it more.

Bloody hell… Was going to do Pupperazzi before it leaves Game Pass. Took about 10 seconds to give me motion sickness galore. Luckily didn’t unlock any achievement so I quit and uninstalled that shit fast.

It nearly had me as well. I had to really slow down my movements when I worked through it last summer.

Yeah, I might have been able to power through it like that but I felt it was not worth the increased time and effort. I hate these bad first person games, gaah.

Luckily you only missed 1000 easy gamerscore, the game itself is a miss.

Welcome! Your gamerscore will count for our leaderboard rankings starting today.

Still my favorite game of the generation.

I had a bug where instead of keeping 5 checkpoint saves or whatever it’s supposed to, it was keeping every checkpoint save permanently. Eventually it was too much data to sync online, and then too much data to save or load correctly on the local console. I had to resync from my last successful online save and lost a few hours of progress. :slightly_frowning_face: Very disheartening and I want to wait for a bugfix to even resume playing.

Did you have your game on Quick Resume ? The only issues I had was a strange sound bug in Blood & Wine and two crashes.

Quick Resumed sometimes, not every time. I found some other people on Reddit reporting the same issue, it apparently has to do with playing on a save that was originally created in the last-gen version of the game. It doesn’t happen if you start from scratch in the new-gen version.

That’s probably the reason why I had only minor problems. This sucks.

Saw this article being discussed…somewhere :eyes: and was wondering what some people here thought about it. For me I’ve always thought of achievements/trophies as sort of a journal for my gaming. I wouldn’t go as far to say that they’ve been bad for gaming, but I would say that the types of achievements they’re (Fredrik) complaining about are, in my opinion, bad implementations of achievements.

It’s always annoyed me that Nintendo has been so averse to them. I think a “journal” might be more palatable to them. I would also like to see achievements be repeatable so you can see each time you’ve achieved it (worth 0 points for each subsequent instance). Maybe also allow achievements to contain some simple metadata (ie. achievement: Completed World 1-1; time: 65s). As someone who will likely be gaming until I am no longer able to, with a poor memory and likely some form of dementia in my future this would be really helpful for me.

I have not read the article, but what you say is what I am thinking. The concept is solid. Just because they failed at implementing their achievements sheds no light on achievement implementations from other developers.

It’s just a tweet, so I’m making some assumptions based on their conclusions, but I think it’s complaining about inserting unnecessary checklists into the game for the sake of creating an achievement list that will prolong engagement in the game. Which I’m saying is on the developers/designers for making a poor decision when designing their achievements. Design your game and then add achievements based on that, not the other way around.

I strongly disagree, obviously. :laughing: Achievements are a big part of what makes playing games fun for me. I’ll leave it at that. Frankly (this isn’t a dig at you, but at the discussion that’s surrounded this topic for years now), I’m sick and tired of even engaging with people who are vocal about not liking achievements and wanting them to go away. I’m over it. They’re here to stay, ignore them if you don’t like them, and let the people who do like them have their fun.

I would hope that is the case lol.

I think this guy is very wrong though. Lots of games are made better thanks to their achievements. It gives a longer life to games, replayability and it makes you experience a lot more of the game than if you just run through the mainstory and don’t try out different builds etc.

Hard disagree. I also thought Mirrors Edge had some good achievements and also a pretty diverse variety, so i have no idea where he is coming from.

If its too much work just make one achievement for every chapter and be done :woman_shrugging:
