Yeah I saw that earlier. All those games and that's the best they could come up with, absolutely shocking. I don't know why some of these developers don't ask for help from the achievement community if they're struggling for ideas. I could come up with something better than that in like five minutes.

Some of them don't care, some actually don't like them and only have them because they have too and the game would sell less without them. Bungie for example are well known to hate achievements from what I've read.

God knows why. An excellent achievement list can keep people playing way past its usual shelf life, and a poor one will often put me off playing a game altogether. It really isn't complicated.

In other news, that guy has made a new achievement world for the Minecraft update, so that's some easy points when the ratios have settled. :-)

Cool those ones do look easy to easy to do.

Have you had a look at Super Mega Baseball 2? Some on their you'd need to have Luke Skywalker like reactions to get but a good few points to be had for little effort.

I haven't, I've got the first game too, they're part of the gigantic backlog sitting on my hard drive. I think I have something like 200 games that I haven't even touched on there. :fp:

Made some progress today although I've just unlocked an achievement whilst not connected to Xbox Live, which was annoying. Thankfully only a small one, but if we get knocked out by 10 points I'm gonna be pissed!

BiLLzuMaNaTi completed the game State of Decay 2 and is the 2nd gamer on the site to complete it


He's gonna be busy this week :lol:

There is supposed to be a way to do it on Xbox One, but I just used my old US account I'd set up in the old 360 days. Sorry that's not much help. :-(

Pac-Man 256 is awesome, absolutely loved it.

I'm struggling a bit this week, with it being half term I'm not sure where the points are coming from either. Might have to jump into some old phone stuff I had saved.

I was initially planning on 4000 as a starting benchmark this week but can do 5000 if you need.....
You’ll need to drop an individual bonus though

Honestly I should be ok, might throw in one or two of those Minecraft ones if I'm desperate and then tackle the decay next week when I have more time.

Thought you were cutting it a bit short there, and then I realised that our team score was low because I'd been hit by 300TA of decay overnight. I mean, strawberry float! :shock:

Gonna do my best, I've got a few phone and PC games lined up for today while the kids are occupied, hopefully I'll get on the Xbox later too. It's a big target.

I've gone over if anything :lol: I've got a bit of decay of SMB 2 myself and I thought an extra hundred might make things a tiny bit easier for you.

It is indeed a big target, not the end of the world if we have to chuck 2K in.....although if having kids around strawberry float you up that much the summer holidays will be most interesting :D

Yeah, especially when I go away for a week in August! :lol:
Honestly if we're still in by that point I expect we'll be out of Individual and helping each other out when the other is struggling.

I've made significant progress today anyway, well on my way to 4K.

Crisis averted, just pulled off a 1300+TA achievement on Trials Of The Blood Dragon. Didn't realise I was so close to getting it! :-)

Excellent work sir, expecting a feet up Wednesday for once fingers crossed.

Hamm and his bro look in a spot of bonus requiring bother if they don’t have a big scoring day planned though.

In other news finding this battle of the bonus droppers very interesting :lol: 2.5k going into the final day...the question is who has got Wednesday off
