Well this week didn’t start off too well when it came to getting achievements. First of all I was really busy working on my latest website Casino Answers – best website on the planet if I do say so myself – to play Xbox.
However the real problem was I just didn’t know where to start. I have a ton of games on the go right now, and I couldn’t settle down and play just one. Janise even asked me why do I keep going to look at my games every 5 minutes – it was because I just couldn’t fucking decide what game to play.
Thankfully later in the week I managed to grind a little.
The game I picked out to play was All Pro Football 2K8. I bought this way back when I was buying another game as it was only like $2. It’s a pretty crappy game to be honest – with options like Blitz & Madden out there, it’s not even worth $2.
I charged through it and got an absolute ton of achievements though, which was good. I only had 5 of 50 when I started it, and I ended up with 38 of 50. There’s a few more achievements I can(and will) get in it too, so I should end up about 45 of 50, which is really good for the percentage.
The majority of achievements in it are in-game things like “Get 6 touchdown passes with a bronze quarterback” and so on. It’s overall a really lame game and I don’t recommend it at all.
I also got a few achievements in Modern Warfare 2 – things like 3 stars in 5 different special ops missions, 45 intel items, killing 7 chickens in under 10 seconds etc. Should hopefully 1k/1k that this week if I have the time. All that is left is the spec ops achievements and Pit Boss.
We also picked up a couple of achievements in Lego Indy 2 – although that was all Mason, as he completed the story mode levels in Temple of Doom and Crusade, as well as unlocked the grail night. I haven’t really started that game yet, but will probably do so in the next few weeks.
This week I plan on wrapping up All Pro Footbal 2K8 then I am not sure – probably beating Bioshock for the 2nd time in preparation for Bioshock 2, and I might go through Bakugan, as sad to say I am actually finding that a pretty fun fucking game.
Last Week:
Scotsman: 52.43%
Risto: 66.29%
This Week:
Scotsman: 53.27%
Risto: 66.63%
So a big jump for me this week, but unfortunately Risto picked up a bunch of achievements in Silent Hill and 50 Cent and Modern Warfare 2 to increase his score too.
That’s okay. I did manage to completely destroy him when it comes to True Achievement score, as I have 1000 points more than him now.
I finished up all the single player achievements in Red Faction: Guerrilla. Still a few multiplayer ones to do, have to try and find some people to boost as the multiplayer seems to be pretty much dead. I had planned to try and get all but the 100 000 xp achievement, but with multiplayer dead in the water I wont be able to do any that involve ranked games, unless there's boosting party's around for that.
Mine isnt showing properly on TA as I havent been connected to the net.
)
Ive been boosting the following - Tiger 08 (fun but a bit of a grind to get to beat Tiger which gets you roughly 3-4 achievements if you can gold medal all the scenarios to get to him), Uefa Euro 2008 (my xbox broke this game with 1 more single player achievement to get
I still have Rainbow Six 2 (dont like), Prototype (didnt enjoy too much), Crackdown (have loaded this up to play 3-4 times then turned off within a minute) and Halo 3 to boost big style.
Ah Halo 3, how I fucking hate you. Played through the first 2 levels of campaign with a mate on legendary which makes it quite easy as one of you goes forward and the other hangs back so if the 1st guy dies he can respawn. Then tried the next campaign on legendary on single player and dies within seconds every time. Dropped it down to normal and its pretty fucking easy. I cant see myself getting a lot of achievements on this tho.
Other games I have are Fifa 09 and Fifa 10, Lego Star Wars complete Saga, Lego Batman, Orange Box, COD MW 2, Kung Fu Panda, You're in the Movies, and Lips that I can pick up some easy achievements in if I can be bothered
Fifa 10 is an easy 1k game, if manager mode wasnt so fucking buggy.
Also picked up Bioshock 2 so that will have dropped me a little.
Aimming now to rach 60% by end of march (may be hoping a bit too high there) and to beat Shafts true achievement score by end of this month. I might even be allready beating it when some of my figures come through when I get reconnected.
Taff if you need the "Play through a level online" achievement in Lego SW I'll do it with you since I need it too.
Ill be willing to play some AllPro with you online if you still need those cheevos.
I'm currently about 85% of the way through Mass Effect 2 on Insanity. It really isn't that tough. There was one section I had to replay maybe 30 times before I beat it, but nothing else was crazy hard. Starting on level 28 helps. Ill have this finished up sometime this weekend.
I'm not playing with you.
Dudes if you see Mason playing feel free to join in - he's always playing online with people. And he's actually really good at it. He taught Brando a few things(really).
How do we know it's him?
Also don't want to know what Brando's been "teaching" Mason.
He's the only one that plays it. He always turns on the option for people to join even though I turn it off.
Since we've already had the clique Brando=pedo joke I'll skip the "Mason is taller than Boner" joke.
clique
Ugh I should go to bed.
Alone.
lol like his hero Ossie
Ormie on top form in this thread, boner with a great smack of his arse too.
literally got home
saw net was on
got xbox online so i could make my gamerscore update
nice one your net fixed?
dunno
it was on when i went home at dinner so I dug through some boxes to find the wireless thing for the xbox.
Hopefully. If not then I have an engineer out monday to check the line for issues.
Just beat Mass Effect 2 on Insanity. Now have 51/51 achievements for 1015. I don't even know what to do with myself. Might just put myself into a coma to ME3.
Started playing Lego Indy 2 again. Finished skull hub 1 netting me 3 more achievements. I have 2 more main hubs then the creator hub to finish. Probably finish it this weekend. I think they should make a Lego Back to the Future. Id be all over that shit. I say Fuck Harry Potter.
Also been playing the New Scene it. The achievements are glitchy. There are some answer 100 of X achievements. Many people are reporting that those have to be done in one sitting. Turning off the xbox resets you down to zero. So I may never get those. Game is not even half as fun as the previous one.
I'm going to start playing Castlevania SOTN after I finish lego. Right now I only have 1 achievement of 12. Bought it forever ago and played it for like 5 minutes.
That's what I get for getting a bunch of new games and then ignoring them to play MW2.
LOL shaft enabled his privacy settings so we don't see what games he is playing. Prolly that new Anime one where you rape a 10 year old lass in it.
I have no idea why the privacy settings seem to turn themselves on and off on my gamercard dealy. They seem to be back off again now. It happens pretty regularly despite the fact that I've never touched the settings.
