Not a bad year so far! 20 completions out of 31 games is pretty nice, as well as a 2.29 average ratio after 632 achievements.
I’ll not beat my 2020’s Gamerscore at this rate, though.
Glad to know I was not the problem! Please let me know when the issue gets sorted so you can finally join us!

Wtf, that’s almost more than my whole TrueAchievement score for all of last year.

Do you have your account set to private on the Xbox itself? That can prevent TA from tracking your info.

588 days later, I finally finished the single player achievements in Project Cars 2 (815g). Now let’s see if I will be able to get the online done.
Edit: I just tested: the most difficult online achievements in the game are now easily boostable solo! I believe there are only two quick achievements where you need a partner, but those can be done in less than 10 minutes.
On a side note, the Series X is truly incredible for achievement hunting. I’ve been cutting completion times in many games by at least 1 hour.

I agree. Microsoft should be doing so much more with the achievements system, considering they were at the forefront of this whole thing to begin with. I feel there should be some type of milestone system in place.
It’s great to see sites like True Achievements doing so much of the heavy lifting with unique community events and the like but there’s only so much you can do.

Yes, this continues to baffle me. They should put some effort in to the achievement system, how hard can it be?

I think when Jez says “Sometimes, Microsoft listens too much to statistics.” or something along those lines, he’s totally right.
For example, when they had removed achievements from the console menu bar (or buried them a bit more) they immediately reversed afterwards after feedback. I think they had originally did this because they though not as many people were using that tab, but honestly it felt very weird not having it.
I think something like this could be fixed the more Microsoft embraces the “Customize Your Experience” route.
This could really expand to achievements, profile badges, visibility, etc.

Yes, but there needs to be more stuff to actually customize too

Take it, backlog! 589 days later!
I really like Project Cars. It has a good mix between simulation and arcade racing, with many different cars and tracks. The fact that you can always play on easy with more forgiving rules is also a really nice thing to help make the races more relaxing.
I bought the Deluxe Edition on sale back in July 2019, when I started playing. I dropped it after winning the career’s first season, and only came back to it on April 2020, when I completed the Zero to Hero achievement for winning a Tier 1 Championship after starting on Tier 6. I grabbed some more miscellaneous achievements and dropped the game again since I didn’t think I would be able to grab the online achievements.
For some reason I came back to it this week and realized that the achievements were actually quite easy. The multiplayer achievements were really grind, but I discovered that I could potentially boost it by myself.
I then finished the single player achievements and started grinding the online. I basically had to complete 350 online races for an achievement, as well as look out for the Safety First achievement for getting a B Online Reputation Grade (basically I couldn’t crash). After getting said grade I found out that I could start a race, exit to the boxes and quit the race, and that would still count as a completed race. So I did that 300 more times and got the final achievement lol
Quite proud of this one!

Now I’m back to playing for fun rather than completions 
Started up Alan Wake the other night, a game I have had in my backlog for a long time but never gotten around to. Pretty great so far! A bit old in many parts, but the story is intriguing and I’m hooked.

I have to make sure to do this from time to time to make sure I’m still having fun overall vs just working more. Lol

I played it the last couple of days and have to say it still looks rather good in the forest areas with the storm effects and the lighting if you use a flare gun is unmatched. And Auto HDR does improve the picture.

Yes, I find that balance to be very important. Whenever I feel gaming is a chore, it’s time to mix things up a bit. I have soo many good games in the backlog that I wan’t to get around to as well.
Yeah, the lighting and effects is great. The Series X is really making the game shine as good as it can tbh.

This is why I ended up dropping the Falconeer. I wasn’t having any fun and I got the feeling the game was only going to get worse.

It’s too bad really, but the buggy achievements ruined the game a bit for me. It’s allready repetitive but I had to grind the crap out of it before the last one unlocked and that soured my experience of the game overall.
I really hate when stuff doesn’t work like they are supposed to.

I experienced a lot of general bugs in the game itself. More than once it wouldn’t register when I would dive down to pick up things from the water. I had to fly away, land somewhere and come back before it would work. I also think there were more than a few times in Chapter 2 where my shots just weren’t registering. After dying a few times on one particular mission, I just decided to call it quits rather than continue to waste 10-15 minutes flying back and beating the first group of enemies so I could then fly to the next set and get murdered.
As I said before, I just found the entire experience boring, and I really enjoy dogfighting games. Kudos to those of you who stuck it out on this game.

Mhm, I had several missions that I had to start over because it just wouldn’t move on to the next objective. That is always super fun.
It also bothered me that there was no way to switch ammo types, that I didn’t get to keep my birds between chapters etc. lots of little things like that.
The actual flying was great though.

Completion #127: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
- Estimated Difficulty: 3/10
- Estimated Time: No tracker for this one
Definitely one of my favorite games from the last generation. Gorgeous planets, great exploration, interesting characters, amazing powers… AND NO FREAKING FAST TRAVEL.
Seriously, the planets are huge. Having to go after all the collectibles without a fast travel between checkpoints is awful enough. But not being able to even fast travel directly to the ship after collecting everything on the planet is just cruel. Seriously, it was so frustrating finally finding that last collectible after two hours… and then getting lost on the way back to the ship.
For that reason I finished the (fantastic) story back in November 2019 (when the game launched!) and couldn’t bother going after the rest of the achievements because of the lack of fast travel. I even tried going back to the game on May 2020, but dropped it again in frustration. But now I finally completed the game, 468 days later!
Another one down!

Gratz! Really liked that game, the lack of fast travel never bothered me and it’s not until others pointed it out that I noticed haha.
I also completed it, and the only disappointment was the boring cosmetic rewards for exploration. Another poncho…yay.
But yeah, great game!
