Yep. This just happened. I was planning on starting this several months ago, but never got around to it, and this site is predominantly PS3 users. I've seen a lot more 360 users the past several weeks, so this may be more appropriate now.

With that said, it's going to be the same format as the Trophy thread, only instead of platinum trophies, I'm going to keep track of 1000/1000. That may turn out to be a bit of a pain, but I'm sure we'll get through it. :D

The first entry will be July whenever I do the trophy leaderboard update. If you want to be added to the list, post here and then send me a friend request on Live. I have a pretty good feeling Smooth Pancakes is going to dominate this. :D

Oh yeah, sign me up! I've been waiting for one of these babies to pop up on here. :D

Yeah, I'm doing tons of achievement whoring. I've got 6 games at a full 1000/1000 already. Modern Warfare 2 I just need three more achievements (Spec Ops stuff) that me and a friend plan on finishing off one of these days. L.A. Noire should be finished within a week or two. I'm hoping to finish off Assassin's Creed and AC: Brotherhood within the next month.

I'm going to have to buy back Madden NFL 10 sometime since I have just one achievement left still to get that I forgot about before I sold it the first time. Still need to finish off Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (6 achievements left) and PGA Tour 12 (hoping by July or August I am getting my last achievement). So yeah, that 6 that I have right now for games that I have 1000/1000 on will definitely be going up, as will my, so far, 1,163 achievements earned. :D

I've turned into such an achievement whore in the past year or so, that I intentionally am going out of my way in nearly every game anymore just to earn every achievement I can. :D

If you really want to some easy achievements, rent Avatar: The Last Airbender. You can get the full 1000G in literally 5 minutes legitimately. I definitely will whenever I can find it. None of the rental places around here have it, nor does any of my Gamestops. I'm guessing there's not too many in circulation. The older sports games are really good and easy 1000G, too. One of these days I'm going to whore them all, I just have to motivate myself to do it.

SmoothPancakes
06-02-2011, 07:43 PM
Yeah, NCAA Football and Madden are my automatic whoring titles every year. I have gotten 1000G on the past three NCAAs, going back to 09. I've completed Madden 09, just have that one achievement left on Madden 10, and actually went and was able to get Madden 11 cheap just last week, solely for the reason of getting achievements, so that'll be getting added onto my current number of achievements and 1000G games within the next week or two. :D

And holy crap! I just looked up the achievements for The Last Airbender. You really aren't kidding! Wow those are some horrible attempts at achievements. That definitely would be a literally 5 minutes legit 1000G. I'm going to have to start keeping an eye for that. :D

I started whoring some games last fall and just picked up a bunch more to start up again.

I gave up the fanboyism long ago; you should too. I'd have a PS3 if there was a reason to or if someone gave me one. In fact, I had PS1 and 2 for ages and was a late, late Xbox adopter. At the time, XBox' online experience and market and all that blew PS out of the water. Since going to 360, haven't looked back and honestly haven't delved into PS3 enough to compare the two.

Whore, slut, JB..........all the same thing. :)

Score is all that counts! Just check Sportscenter any day for confirmation of that! Anyone can buy platinum like some two-bit rapper, but the score is what matters in the end!

Yeah, it's gonna be one of those where you either put it up on ebay while still waiting for it to arrive (since you'd be ready to ship it back out right away), or go buy it from Gamestop, get the 1000G, and go right back and sell it back, all within a half hour (depending on driving time). :D

Now I remember why I love NCAA Football and Madden so much when it comes to achievements. An extremely easy 1000 gamerscore. :D I bought Madden 11 for very cheap two weeks ago solely so I could achievement whore it and sell it back off. Just finally got around to installing it to my hard drive and playing it tonight. In less than 3 hours of gameplay, I already have 17/24 achievements, winning 14 achievements in a single Play Now game. :D

I very well could be completely done and have 1000G by Friday night, depending on how much of a pain in the ass the win a Fight for the Fumble in the endzone is going to be. I remember that one took me a long time in Madden 10 because it was so difficult to get those bitches to actually fumble while standing in the endzone, even with ratings changed and/or sliders altered in order to make it easier.

That's going to be the general idea of how it's going to work. I'm going to be using different gamercards as soon as the site I want to use comes back up and I also need to figure out a way to accurately depict how many 100% games everyone has.

Once I do figure that out, we'll have to decide whether we should include 100% arcade games and whether or not having the DLC achievements should affect a regular game's 100%(like it does on Live).

I don't know about you, but I was in the process of figuring out Austin's, and he has so many that I knew there would eventually be a problem calculating it from month to month. Live's achievement interface isn't really good in that regard. I'm going to try to find a site that actually keeps track of it before I include it.

Well, if it comes down to it in the end, though I don't know about how simple it would be getting everyone to actually report, we could do self reporting of 100% games. For me for instance, I know that currently, excluding the XBox Live Labs and NCAA Basketball March Madness Edition, if we in the end do also exclude Arcade games, I currently have 6 games at 100%.

As for the problem of 100% without DLC achievements, yeah, that could be a pain in the ass to figure out. I have absolutely no clue if there are any games on my list that I have 100% in before accounting for DLC.

And damn, where did you come from Austin? I thought I had 1st place on the list locked up since I OU was the closest one to me, and he's still 7,000 behind me. :(


I am the exact same way, though I can easily plug in some of my games and get the 100% I just have video game ADD.

Yeah, if I decide to go on a 100% whoring spree, I have a good 5-7 games that all I need are as few as one and as many as maybe 10 achievements to get 100% on them. It's just a matter sitting down and dedicating myself to getting those achievements if I want them.

Yeah, if it's just going through the dashboard, it's pretty simple, since it lists all your 100% games in the Account tab in the My Xbox blade. Scroll over a couple more tabs to the right in the Account section, you find Achievement Progress with all 100% games listed. That'll probably be the way I do it, instead of searching through my lists on Xbox.com or something.

06-10-2011, 05:52 PM
Yeah, I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet. It would be a pain in the ass for someone to keep track of the 100% games, so I'm going to try to find a site that possibly tracks that.

In other news, finally beat all 10 Jordan challenges and ended up getting another achievement in the process. The only one I had left was the finals against Seattle. Either I wouldn't get enough rebounds and everything else, or I'd get everything and lose to a buzzer beating shot(happened 3 times - all Gary Payton while I was nearly tackling him). This game, not a problem. Jordan had 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists at halftime, so I was done with that. I was really beating them, too, so I figured since I was up by 22 at half, I'd try to beat them by 50 to get another achievement and let some frustration out. Final score: 111-52. Take that, Gary Payton.

06-10-2011, 06:23 PM
Yeah, I need to get back into NBA 2K11. I have hardly touched it since L.A. Noire came out (which that I'm also very close to getting 100% on) and then I went on a golfing spree in Tiger Woods 12. I'm very close to being done on Madden 11, having got 21 of 24 achievements in a less than 12 hour period since I first started up the game. I just have to play in the Pro Bowl, win a Fight for the Fumble in the endzone, and complete the Super Bowl Sunday Madden Moment, which I'm about to complete my 14th Madden Moment, so by either tomorrow or Sunday, if I keep knocking these things out left and right, I'll have the SBS Madden Moment.

Updated the list a bit, as I found a site that tracks them. Considering Smooth and I were the only ones registered, everyone else needs to register at trueachievements.com and then I'll be able to pull the information off the site. The best part is that it doesn't include DLC as part of the 100% equation, so that's perfect.

Also, we now have to decide. It keeps track of 100% retail and arcade games, so it's up to you guys. Do you want arcade games to count or no? I included them in my mini updated, but it's truly up to you guys. It doesn't make my job harder either way.

Nice! I completely forgot about trueachievements.com. I haven't been there in a while. Always a bunch of intersting stats that they keep track of that are fun to look up from time to time. And yeah, that's perfect with them excluding DLC from the equation, since unlike the trophies on PS3, all we really have to go by are 100%/1000G for 360.

As for arcade games, either way works for me, I'll leave it up to everyone else. I only have like 5 arcade games altogether. I pretty much stick to retail games, with some independent games thrown in.

And on a game whoring note, yes! Made it through all 45 Madden Moments last night that were required to be completed to unlock the final four Moments, that includes Super Bowl Sunday among them. Unfortunately, by the time I made it there, it was about time to start getting ready for work, so I didn't even get to try it. But later on today, I'm hoping to complete it, knock out that achievement, which will then leave me just winning a Fight for the Fumble in the endzone, and Madden will be 1000G'd, all since about 8pm Thursday night. :D

I'll register there in a minute.

I went through a list of games I want to play, plus ones to whore.......um, yeah, that list is waaaaay too long. LOL!

I don't think I have that many full 1000 games either, I've just played a lot of games I guess? I probably have around 8-11.....I'll check later.


And damn, where did you come from Austin?
LOL....I was stuck around 28k-30k for quite a while, as when I go into NCAA mode, I don't really play too many other games, and then I'll take a break and hit a flurry of games. Forcing myself to try out some other games for achievements has actually been quite rewarding as I've played games that I normally wouldn't bother playing/spent the money on, but for example I ended up really liking Wolverine last fall for example. And people say Terminator: Salvation is fairly crappy, but I actually quite enjoyed it.

Part of it is that I don't like games that take 60 hours and tons of story or whatever, as I just don't have that kind of time what with 2 kids. I want games to be fun, fairly short, and not ridiculous bosses that are button-mashing luck.
Alan Wake was a pretty good game that I finished up (finally! I had it for like 6+ months and hadn't touched it) recently. And I really like Operation: Flashpoint Dragon Rising once you figure out the reticule holdovers.....pretty easy to whack guys at long distance then. :) Although the amount of running around is a bit annoying.

And I really dislike games like GTA where you go here, then have to go clear across the map, and then come back....just for one stupid little side mission. Blah.

I think including arcade games for the score is fine. Some of them are pretty hard actually. However, I'm not into keeping DLC score because sometimes the DLC is crap and I wouldn't want to pay for it.

Hey Smooth, whenever you get back to playing 2K11, let me know if you want to boost those stupid online achievements. I tried to play a game today and it was nothing but lag. Not to mention I'm pretty sure everyone is going to use the Heat and just shoot jumpers all day with Wade and James.

Yeah, while I mainly buy games I know I'll like and want to play, achievements are always something I look at with every game I get, seeing if I can get 1000G, or at least be willing to put in the effort to get it. I actually just bought Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising two weeks ago or so over Xbox Live. Have only briefly played it, but it's a lot of fun. Definitely a nice, more realistic shooter/military game then you get with other games these days.

Hey Smooth, whenever you get back to playing 2K11, let me know if you want to boost those stupid online achievements. I tried to play a game today and it was nothing but lag. Not to mention I'm pretty sure everyone is going to use the Heat and just shoot jumpers all day with Wade and James.

Sure thing, absolutely. I certainly am going to be trying to go after 1000G in 2K11 and I definitely wasn't looking forward to the online portion of the achievements, so I'm definitely game for working together on those. When I finally finish off Madden 11 (haven't had a chance to play at all yet today) I'm gonna work 2K11 more back into my play time and rotate it more evenly with Tiger 12 instead of the "play this one game, and only one game, for an entire week" system that I've been doing for the past month or so.

I need to pick up Madden '11 for the achievements. I got the platinum on PS3, and it was one of my more enjoyable ones. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. I had a ton of fun with the Madden Moments for some reason.

But yeah, it would be nice to have the online ones out of the way, especially win 5 in a row. I'm confident I could win 20 total if I stuck with it long enough, but winning 5 in a row for a game that has been out almost a year and that I've just now started playing would probably be impossible. I still don't think I'll get the full 1000G simply because it's really involved. Also, I hate My Player. Hate it.

Yeah, Madden and NCAA are my automatic 1000G games every year. I blew through 22 of 24 achievements for Madden 11 in less than 12 hours, just doing absolutely nothing but achievement whoring. They are both always so easy and simple to quickly rack up a bunch of gamerscore on.

And agreed on the Madden Moments. When I first started working on them trying to get up to Super Bowl Sunday, I thought "ugh, I got play 45 of these stupid moments just to unlock SBS", but then as I got rolling and got into them, damn I had a lot of fun. I especially love the drive for a game winning score moments. I just love those two minute drill games. Give me anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes to drive down the field and score the game winning touchdown, I'm in heaven. There was one with Jacksonville that I had so much fun on, I ended up replaying that moment probably 5 times. I had so much fun with it, since I am actually going to bother with a franchise this time now that it has been worked on by the team, I'm gonna completely skip over my usual of doing a franchise with Denver, and start one with Jacksonville in Madden 12. They are a lot of fun to play with.

I'm not a fan of forced MP achievements. I don't play MP much except for Gears of War and a few other games with some close friends.

Wrapped up Jumper today. lol. The camera isn't as terrible as people made it out to be in reviews if you've ever played 3rd person stuff before. Weird game though in that the last 30% of it is really, really dark such that I couldn't see shit until I cranked up the brightness on my TV. Made it much easier to breeze through when you can see shit. NHL 2k6 was wicked easy 1000 also. :p

It's done! Thank you god it's done! Madden 11 is finished! That Super Bowl Sunday Madden Moment took me probably about 40 tries this morning, because you are under such a major time limit. Down 31-17 with 50 seconds left, ball 4th and goal on the New Orleans 5 (or somewhere around there) and two timeouts. I suck when it comes to online kicks, so I just kept kicking it deep and making them take a touchback. Depending on how fast I'd score, I'd still have 47-49 seconds left on the clock after the touchback.

If I could get the tackles fast enough, and get time out called fast enough, I'd be able to make it to 3rd down with 41 or 42 seconds left, giving me the guarantee that the Saints would be forced to punt since they'd kneel it on third down. First time I could get the timing worked out correctly, it actually worked and they were forced to actually punt instead of running out the clock. I was even able to manage to return the punt for a touchdown (a must since time is expired by the time they punt), only problem was, the game thought I was completing this moment too soon and fucked me and called me for holding, screwing me out of completing the moment.

Another 10-15 tries after that, I finally managed to get New Orleans to pass on 3rd down, wish Brees rushed and threw incomplete, stopping the clock with 35 seconds left and giving me the ball since they had to punt no matter what now. Then it was just a matter of a couple quick passes and score a touchdown.

Then I moved on to my final achievement, the winning a Fight for the Fumble in the endzone. This one took probably a good hour of non-stop attempts at forcing the CPU to fumble in their endzone, but I just finally managed to make it happen a couple minutes ago, after probably 100 tries. And thankfully, my players jumped on it first so the meter was well in my favor before I even had to start pounding buttons. And with that, Madden 11 is over and done with for me. I can finally sell Madden off along with my copy of NCAA 11 and make room on my shelf for the 12 versions.

And I OU, I saw your post about needing to pick up Madden 11 for the achievements. If you want, we can work out something on here where I can sell and ship you my copy cheap. I'm just going to sell it off online or (if Gamestop has a good trade in deal within the next couple weeks) trade it and NCAA 11 in together towards a different game. So if you still need to buy Madden, let me know.

Kudos to you for getting the fumble in the endzone achievements legitimately. On PS3, I used two controllers and I'm going to do the exact same thing whenever I pick it up for 360. I'm trying to blow through NCAA '11 so that I can return it Tuesday when I go to pick up Alice: Madness Returns and then pick up Madden '11, which is the same price. I know for a fact I can do Madden in two or three days, so hopefully I'll be able to return that one as well.

The only question is whether or not I can finish NCAA '11 by Tuesday. I don't think I can. :D

Oh yeah, you'll be able to finish Madden up real fast. I got 22 of the 24 achievements in less than 12 hours. I was only able to finish up the last two last night because I wasn't able to get to do them Saturday and Sunday nights, otherwise I would have been done a lot faster.

NCAA '11 is really, really ticking me off. I forgot how much the game pissed me off when I went for the platinum on PS3, and I'm getting a lovely little refresher on why. I find it absolutely laughable that I start out the season as #1, beat the #2, #3, #4, #7, #12, and #23 teams while starting 7-0, and get overtaken by a team who has beaten ONE top 25 team, which also happens to be the team I beat. Absolutely RETARDED. This is definitely going to test my patience.

Ugh, that brings back bad memories of some of the achievements like the Wire to Wire and others. I really hope the achievements are changed up this year in NCAA and Madden. I'm getting tired of the same things over and over (Wire to Wire, sign a 5 star prospect with a 2 star school, win a Fight for the Fumble in the endzone, etc). They need to come up with some better ones. I love how easy (overall) it is to get 100% on them, absolutely, but they need to come up with some better achievements/trophies for these two. It's like they created the achievements/trophies a couple years ago and said "we're done! no need to overhaul them until 2015."

Yeah, I'd be the same way on PS3 if I had one. 360 would still get 99% of my playing time, so I'd probably be the bottom feeder of the PS3 leaderboard.

And on an achievement whoring note, I have just completed my second 100% retail game this week. Finished off Madden 11 Monday morning, and just five minutes ago, found my last golden film reel to finish off L.A. Noire.

And now that the retail stuff is done, I can finally focus my attention on the two DLC cases that have already been released for L.A. Noire and pick up an extra 200 gamerscore from them.

I have NCAA '12, Madden '12, Gears 3, BF3, and The Witcher 2 for my absolute must buys, so there's still a lot of games coming out. I'll more than likely add Uncharted and Resistance 3 to that list as well.

Resistance 3 comes out two weeks before Gears 3, too. I'm pretty sure Resistance 2 launched 2 or 3 days ahead of Gears 2 last time and it definitely got the short end of the stick there. Sorry, R3, it's probably going to happen again.

There, L.A. Noire is, at the moment, completely done. The storyline and retail game/achievements, 100% done. Badge Pursuit challenge (though sadly no related achievements :(), completely done. 'A Slip of the Tongue' and 'The Naked City' pre-order/DLC cases (and all 10 related achievements) done. Everything finished for a nice 1200 gamerscore. Nothing more left to do in L.A. Noire until 'Nicholson Electroplating' DLC is released on June 21st, and the 'Reefer Madness' DLC gets released on July 12th.

Now to get back to work on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 (and hopefully finish that off 100% retail sometime within the next month or two), just plain get back into NBA 2K11, finish off the last couple achievements in the first Assassin's Creed, and finish off the remaining 6 single-player achievements, and somehow get the multi-player achievements, in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

MOst of the games I want to get come out around Sept, Oct, and Nov.
Gears 3
NCAA
Rage
Saints Row the third
BF3

Games I will get and probably wait until used

Son. Of. A. Bitch. I have no idea how in the hell this happened, but it did. A lightning storm just went through and apparently fried my 360, which was plugged into a surge protector with about 6 other things(TV, PS3, PC, air conditioner, modem, router) and the only thing that got zapped was the 360. Everything else works fine. I'm seriously so disappointed right now. I know MS wont cover it simply because it's an "Act of God" so I'm going to have to buy one, which is something I refuse to do right now considering I'm going to plop down $400 on the Gears of War 3 360 coming out in September, so it looks like my achievement whoring is done until then. :(

Fish for a new power block that happened to me once and for some reason it just fried my block not my system and the only way to know is getting a new block. I borrwoed a friends first to make sure and then I sprung for another one. Depending on your 360 make sure you get the right block though.

There are something like 3 different ones, depending on the date of purchase. All the older white ones use the same, the elites use a different one, and I want to say the newer white ones used an even different one not counting the new xboxes.

Bummer, here's to hoping it's the brick after all.

I didn't realize that if I got a game out of Redbox at 5:00pm that I would have all the way until 9:00pm the next day for only $2 to play it....:up: wonder when the clock starts to where you don't have to bring it back til 9:00pm? So say I get something Friday at 9:10pm, would I not have to return it until 9:00pm Sunday for a "1-day rental"?

Sucks that the website doesn't specify if the Redboxes around here actually are participating in the game thing or not. Just says that there are the normal ones around here, but nothing about whether or not they are doing the games thing too. Guess I'll have to do some investigating to see if they actually are sooner or later.

I just hope I can still roam and do the side missions, if I have to play through that all again I'm going to kill myself.

I just took it to GS and traded it in and just like I figured, it wasn't tested. Put the $125 towards the Gears 3 console and paid the rest off myself.

Yeah, there's been some sweet looking consoles over the years that made me stop and think "hmmmm". Though yeah, $400 for a console with just a little paint job on it, for me at least, definitely the better call going for the 4GB bundle since you already have the 250GB hard drive.

I won't lie, I like playing through CoD games in SP. But I hate the design philosophy of never-ending respawns until you hit a magic trigger point on the map. Just some kiddie run 'n' gun stuff right there, but of course I prefer a bit more realism, so FWIW.
And I don't play the MP except for private games with some friends, as I suck online because 1) I don't care enough about MP to actually play it enough to get better and 2) I could care less about ranking up or leaderboards or listening to Timmies yap away about stupid shit.

On a sidenote, I knocked out a kid game on 360 for another 1000 (Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs......this one is actually kinda enjoyable and interesting visuals) and working on another one that I'll hopefully wrap up tonight (Up, which is pretty boring). And Madden10 if Smooth and I can get online. :)

Whore of the Month

Obviously it's going to be AustinWolv. And no, that's not a typo. According to TA.com, he gained 10 fully completed RETAIL games this past month. Obviously this leaderboard really inspired him since he went out and nearly doubled his 100% count. :D



Summary

As I said, Austin had the most with a near 10,000 GS increase and 10 100%. I followed that with an increase of 1815 and one 100%, while Smooth rounded out the top 3 with an increase of 1085 and 2 100%.

I was bored, as there hasn't been many games out lately worth sticking to........I'm not into MP CoD, I've played my share of Gears of War series so I'm waiting on 3, sold off NCAA '11 a few weeks ago as there were too many things broke to play it up until '12 release plus I didn't want to burn out on NCAA football before the release, lol. Played through Medal of Honor a couple times already. I didn't think that many other good games really came out, and I'm waiting on the 5 blockbusters I got preordered for the fall to hit (and of course NCAA '12).

Thus, figured I'd whore for a bit and get all the quick games out of the way for some cheap achievements. Got a stack of about 20 more, but the pace will likely slow quite a bit now.

On a sidenote, I have a list of 82 games that I want to play through.........that is going to take a long-ass time, lol. :)

Your stack is nothing compared to mine. I'd gamble to say I have around 40 360 games I haven't even touched. Case in point - Jericho. Bought it on release and it's still in it's wrapper. :D

The stupid thing is I'll probably never beat more than 10 or so of them. I picked up Madden '11 today and have gotten all but 4 of the achievements, which I'm just going to do some day when I have someone with a 2nd controller to help me. I'm halfway through the Madden Moments, and then I should be able to knock out the rest on Sunday hopefully.

Most of the games that I have in the wrapper are games I got great deals on(and bought specifically because it was a good deal) and then never got around to playing it. Once I do beat them fully, I do usually eBay them or trade them in at GS when they have their 50% extra trade in going on. I will, however, keep games I really like. I have all the Gears games, I have all the Halo games, I've had Red Dead since release, I have all the Assassin's Creed games, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead, Fable II and III, etc..

I keep the really good ones simply because I do occasionally go back and play them. Sports games are ones where once I get the 100%, they go bye bye. I'm keeping NCAA '11 because Tebow is on the cover, but if he wasn't, it would've been sold as well. I still have Madden '12 but rest assured that it will be gone once NCAA '12 drops.

:D That was exactly what I did too when I managed to beat it. Had about 47 seconds left on the clock after scoring and the kickoff, called my two time outs instantly after their plays ended to keep as much time preserved as possible, then called FG Block on third down, forced Brees to rush the pass, resulting it in falling incomplete and stopping the clock for the punt. Then simply passing down the field with 30+ seconds left for a touchdown.

Unfortunately, it took me 10+ tries to figure out I could do that. :fp: I kept trying to score as quickly as possible, and get time outs called as quickly as possible so they would be forced to punt as the play clock would expire before the game clock on fourth down. Except then that meant I had to run the punt return back for a touchdown or else.

I OU a Beatn
07-02-2011, 10:04 PM
I did pretty much the same. I scored the TD and went for 2 but didn't get it. I kicked off and they ran twice with me calling a timeout each time. I came out in FG Block and they audibled. He threw an out route that I user picked and returned for the TD. Converted the 2 point conversion so we went to OT. They went 3 and out, I took two plays to get to the 25 and then kicked the FG.

There's a way to get an onside kick every time, which is how I did it on PS3. Oh well, it would take forever to be lucky enough to get it legitimately.

I know I never would've been able to do it, so huge kudos to her. She even got "Role Model" today, which is getting all the co-op bonuses in one session, so that's pretty impressive in itself.

Other than that, I just have to get to level 50(currently at 47) and then that'll be all the online achievements as far as I know. Anyone have a good way to get a triple escape?

I'm finding triple escape to be a HUGE pain in the ass. I've had 3 guys chasing ONE time since I last posted, and of course one of the little douches used the hidden gun.

Yeah, hidden gun and Templar Vision both piss me off the most. Using the hidden gun does nothing but tell and show me that you suck ass too much to be able to get up close to me and kill me face to face like a man. And using Templar Vision tells and shows me that you suck too much or are too much of a pussy to get up close and try and choose between two or three people who look the same, debating on which one you think is the real person. Hidden Gun/Templar Vision is the AC Brotherhood version of the Call of Duty noobtubes.

TOUCHDOWN, IOU! Abstergo Employee of the Month is mine. Got it on Manhunt. It was actually a quad escape. I was running around for about 20 seconds with two guys on me when I ran by the other two and they immediately gave chance. I threw down a smoke, activated my enhanced sprint, ran through a gate, jumped in the hay, and watched the achievement pop up. :D

Feels damn good to finally get one of those hard-ass achievements, doesn't it?

Although it pisses me off sometimes that it is more luck than actual user.

Finished up the 1000G for NFL Tour last night. That was a bit of a grind as it got boring, but there are a lot of games to play through to complete the tour mode. Not hard though, just tedious. The last achievement (Escape, where you have to do two QB tackle reversals, then pass to a receiver and do two more tackle reversals) was kind of a pain until I switched to using the Chargers and Tomlinson as the RB to break tackles. Got it on the first play try with the Chargers, after trying numerous whole games using the Patriots.

A couple nights ago I finished King Kong too. Easy, easy game.

So I've started whoring the achievements for NCAA '12, simply because unless this upcoming patch is simply amazing, I don't see myself playing it past Madden. There's one where you have to score a TD offensively and defensively on RTG in the same game. That's funny, EA, that's funny. It's pure luck.

Yeah, I've played nothing but NCAA since that released, besides an hour or so of Tiger Woods 12 for the TGA this past Tuesday night. Before that, I was just completing some random in game stuff, as well as advancing the storyline, in AC: Brotherhood, played one or two games of baseball in MLB 2K10, or dicking around with friends in Combat Training in COD: Black Ops. I really haven't done anything in regards to actually trying to get various achievements. Of the 205 gamerscore I've gotten this month, it's been all from NCAA, nothing else from any other games.

I love the new changes they made to Road To Glory where you can't change your play until you get high trust with your coach.

Not surprised I came in last. I pretty much just dicked around in Black Ops and MW2 (briefly) with a couple of my personal friends, played AC Brotherhood, etc, before NCAA 12 came out, then NCAA 12 has been pretty much the only thing I've played besides Tiger Woods here and there for the TGA tournaments. I didn't do a single bit of achievement whoring last month. :(

It's well worth it. The game is really damn fun if you have someone to play through it with. I've already beaten it once, but I, stupidly, deleted my save back before the DLCs came out and then I never got around to going through and getting to a high enough level to do them again until now.

I'm truly glad Epic thinks they're funny. Having beat the campaign on Insane solo, I figured I'd finally be done with it. I absolutely love the game but the last boss fight on Insane is just laughably too hard. However, I was looking at the medals I needed to get for Seriously 3.0 and one of them was beat on chapters on Arcade on Insane. So I got 3 other players together and we played through it. We breezed through it right up until that fucking boss battle.

If anyone beats the campaign on solo, I invite you to try it on Arcade. It's about 10 times harder. After about 3 hours, though, we finally killed the bitch, so unless I overlooked something, I've gotten all the achievements/medals for beating the game on Insane. Thank God.

Now I need to blow through the BF3 campaign before Tuesday.

AustinWolv
11-06-2011, 08:04 AM
I finished BF3 campaign quickly, it is pretty short. I have one achievement left in the SP campaign.

We started playing through GoW3 Arcade co-op, and yeah, that shit was pretty damn hard. We have a long way to go though.

IMO, the last boss on GoW3 is the weakest part of the series, it seemed like a cop-out old-school boss battle instead of something innovative.

Yep, agreed. RAAM was better. Ending of Gears of War 2 was easy, but fit ok because it was more story-driven IMO. Final boss of Gears 3.......just a tedious repetition-fest like old Nintendo games or something.

I beat MW3 on Veteran yesterday, so now all I have to do is find the pointless intel items and I'll be done with the campaign. While there was still some parts that were just lame, by and large, it was really easy compared to some of the previous games in the series like COD4 and World at War.

In other news, Gears of War 3 is going to be the game to raise the limit cap from 1750G per game up to 2000G. They're introducing 4 packs total worth 250G a piece, so I guess that will be the norm from now on.

I also need to suck it up and finish off the Madden achievements. I only need to play 14 more Ultimate Team games and then I'll be done, but good Lord is it boring.

I'm going to keep it for awhile. I usually play the multiplayer fairly regularly until at least January, especially this one since I have Elite and I'm interested to see the kind of maps they plan on developing for DLC. I do recommend it, though, as I thought it was the best Call of Duty campaign yet. If you've played COD4 and MW2, it finishes off the story really nicely.
