Achievement Hunting |OT| Every point counts

brunopcosta1 · February 14, 2021, 7:53pm

Lost Planet 2 is now available to every Gold and GPU subscriber.

I remember this game from my PS3 days as being one of the toughest, most insane completions out there.

I don’t remember the details that much, but there are some requirements like being at the top of a leaderboard. That’s quite literally BEATING THE WORLD RECORD.

Since you are going for 360 completions, what do you think about tackling this one next @SheepDip?

DannyEight · February 14, 2021, 8:10pm

I remember a ghost recon game doing something similar, crazy devs.

In other news I’m thinking about destroying my completion rate by starting MCC

Thanathorn · February 14, 2021, 8:14pm

Anyone else have games where they’re only missing 1 achievement to get the 1000G completion? Tell me Why and Yakuza like a Dragon are those 2 games for me.

SheepDip · February 14, 2021, 8:30pm

Lol not a chance. It looks like you’re making short work of Just Cause though. I am eyeing that one.

Dead Space 2. Only thing I’m missing is the permadeath playthrough and I will never do it.

brunopcosta1 · February 14, 2021, 8:56pm

Halo MCC, Rare Replay and Killer Instinct are my completion rate biggest offenders

Oh, the grind is killing me. I’m 21 hours in and finished the map, now I only need to do 40 (boring) side missions. I’ll probably sit at a 25 hours completion.

You mean the Hard Core achievement? It was the only trophy missing for me on the PS3 aswell. I never had the guts to even try it, but I’m thinking about giving Dead Space 2 a go on the Xbox soon, especially when Quick Resume becomes more reliable allowing me to take a rest between those save points.

SheepDip · February 14, 2021, 9:04pm

Yep. I loved that game enough to beat it on Zealot, but a permadeath playthrough (and I know it’s not precisely permadeath, but close enough) is just not for me.

DannyEight · February 14, 2021, 10:57pm

Why does The Division 2 have such a low completion, it is real grindy?

brunopcosta1 · February 14, 2021, 11:17pm

It is a popular GaaS, so many of its players don’t really care for its achievements. Plus, it has been heavily discounted before (it was $2.99 before its expansion released), so a lot of people who don’t really like this kind of game bought it at some point.

It is supposed to be a regular 70 hours completion.

anon81312630 · February 15, 2021, 12:17am

Is any 1 here trying to win a Series X from placing in the top 5 in the EA Play achievements score contest?

Mort · February 15, 2021, 12:25am

What’s this?

anon81312630 · February 15, 2021, 12:31am

On the Xbox dashboard there is a advert to win a Series X you have to place top 5 in achievements score using only games on the EA Play included with Gamepass Ultimate it runs all of February.

brunopcosta1 · February 15, 2021, 12:41am

Completion #119: Just Cause

Estimated Difficulty: 4/10
Estimated Time: 20-25 hours

Second victim of the Backlog Project!

I bought the game on March 2019 and never even downloaded it until this week. I loved Just Cause 2 and always wanted to check out how the series started and… it has not aged well. It was released even before the PS3 launched, so it is actually a Xbox/PS2 game that was also ported to the 360, and it plays a lot like the games from the PS2 era.

The map is huge, especially for a 15 years old game… but unfortunately it is not fun to travel through it at all. First of all, most of the map is just forests, and the cities all look a like. Plus, there is no way to set a waypoint, so you have to open the map once every two minutes or so – and there is not a dedicated button for opening it, you have to press start and select map.

There are no missable achievements. You basically have to do everything in the game – all the 21 story missions, 45 takeover missions, liberate 34 provincies, win 10 different races and complete 13 collect missions. There are also some miscellaneous achievements, like completing 50 (uninspired) side missions and do some stunts.

It is almost impossible to die during the game, but the last story mission is hell. There is a part of the mission in which you have to reach the top of the mountain and you are constantly being shot at by tanks and helicopters. Some takeover missions are also hell because suddenly a tank appears in front of you and traps you by firing some quick shots.

It took me around 6-7 hours to complete the story and 23 hours overall to get the completion. Oh, and it was only my third 360 completion! My goal is to have at least 10 by the end of the year.

Mort · February 15, 2021, 12:45am

Nice completion! I don’t have it in me (and a way too big backlog) to do this with these old ass games. Impressive!

I do own all the Just Cause games, but never gotten around to play them.

Shadowgasm · February 15, 2021, 3:28am

@n0tjack you’re a maniac. I don’t think I have the skill and/or patience to 100% Cyber Shadow.

brunopcosta1 · February 15, 2021, 3:30am

Warning

Since we first started, the numbers of participants has increased significantly, which has certainly put a smile on my face.

Nonetheless, we all agree that quality is always better than quantity. This community was created to be a place within XboxEra in which we could discuss achievements while bonding together – the leaderboard was always a bonus thing.

With that said, starting this month, at the end of each month I’ll be checking for inactive users. When I post the results for the February ranking, whoever hasn’t posted anything in the forums for a whole month will be removed from the leaderboard.

Summarizing, if the information highlighted below shows that you haven’t posted anything in the forums for the entire month, you will be removed from the leaderboard.

n0tjack · February 15, 2021, 3:34am

Thx man You can definitely do it; the no upgrade playthrough basically forces you to learn how to get through each area the best way, then the speedrun one isn’t that bad. The getting to the monkey temple was a bit frustrating though.

Akosii · February 15, 2021, 6:14am

Man, I’ve been lagging it. But I’m about to start knocking away at the backlog.

MasterLeePhD · February 15, 2021, 8:19am

Not Internationally. Started playing all the Battlefield campaigns that I’ve missed throughout the years whilst ignoring the Achievements. Did the same thing with Call of Duty last year.

I’m enjoying them but you usually have zero chance winning these things when the True Achievement community have their eye on it.
