Slightly O/T but is the live version of Fallout 3 on PC compatible with your X360 log in ?
Yeah it is :)

It is. But it's also riddled with problems according to some here and on OcUK. If you can be guaranteed no problems running it then go for it. If not, Xbox360 version plays very well.

You should both watch out :p My day is coming :cool:

I do feel that I should point out that you've all played a lot more whoring games than me. If I put them all to the top of my rental list, I could conceivably catch you all up. Unlikely, but possible. Maybe I'll make that my aim for Christmas 2009 :D
Lol, nah.
It's a lose-lose.
If you play the tripe others are prepared to play you'll feel dirty and cheated as you know you should be playing the games you really want to play and also how ever low you think you're prepared to go to there are people prepared to go much much lower...

ALL!?
LMA Manager 1000/1000
Football Manager 2006 1000/1000
Football Manager 2007 1000/1000
Football Manager 2008 1000/1000
Championship Manager 2007 500(ish)/1000
;).
And High School Musical 3 is incredibly time consuming to 1k :p, and a bloody good game ;). I'm gonna buy everyone it for their birthdays ;D.
LMA Manager is a whoring game :p I did it in a weekend iirc.
But otherwise the rest are good :p

You do know that I could probably get the same scores as you on those games, if I had the time and wanted to. I much prefer playing FM games on the PC though, always have. Might have to rent one at some point though just to get the points :p
NokkonWud
25-12-2008, 13:41
Well over 1000 hours gameplay there to get those FM achievements! :p. I do love playing FM games though, doesn't matter the format. Always played them on PC but I think with the Xbox360 there is a certain charm there that's just missing from the PC version. I'm playing FM2009 on PC at the moment and after 3 games on Xbox360 it just feels odd (never thought I'd say that). The controls are very well done on Xbox360 for them though to the point they become very intuitive after little use.
... I'm still on Last Remnant ...
Over Christmas other than 60 points from trying PoP and 40 on New Years Eve on Lips it's all I've played and I have very few points for it. Since Christmas Eve I must have sunk another 30+ hours in and have gained a measly 30 points...
Still, I'm on track for 1000/1000 though I think this will take me a while longer :)

You really should start a blog up Steven and get reviewing these games. You give games more time and completions than almost anyone else on my friends list.

Agreed, I have some form of dedication, but nothing on your level. It'd be a damn good read as well.

Agreed with the above, I don't know anyone who puts as much time into as many games as you do Abooie. Get writing, if you can find the time :p
NokkonWud

Well, he should do now with only half the number of Xbox's in the house :p
Got today to finish off my target of 5k total points before going back to work so 155 points needed. Should be easily obtainable. :)
Think my next target will be a bit harder - 10k points by easter. (when is it this year?)
(when is it this year?)
12th April :)
I'm concerned......I think I'm actually going to play the High School Musical game for the points :shocked:
I may have reached a new low :( I'm in a score challenge over at AVForums and I could do with some points as I want to win :p
If I hate it though, I'm not going to bother :p I'm bad but I'm not that bad!
NokkonWud
17-01-2009, 15:38
Surely no worse than your many movie tie-ins ;). HSM was great fun too. I still have the songs stuck in my head \o/.
I quite like it :( I feel dirty and not in the good way.
It really is quite fun :shocked:
Not fussed with the music much but I like rhythm games like that, reminds me of Boom Boom Rocket :D
Davey_Pitch
17-01-2009, 19:51
How do you play it? I don't know anything about it so don't even know what type of game it is. Easy 1000?
It's a dance mat style game but you can use the controller instead of a dance mat :D
You use the joystick, d-pad and regular buttons as well as the bumper buttons for activating star power (wonder where they got that idea from :p).
So very reminiscent of Boom Boom Rocket for me :)
Seems very easy points looking at Nokkon's amount (700 odd in a day!), I only played it for about 40mins and got 90 points despite not being brilliant at it :) I'll be playing more tomorrow as it's good fun!
NokkonWud
17-01-2009, 22:36
Not an easy 1000 points, no, but you can get quite a lot from it. You are meant to use a dance mat, but you can use a pad by using either of the analogue sticks, directional pad or face buttons to press the required direction on the beat.
Working my way to Living legend and Club God in Fifa 09 still wonder how I aint achieved bend it like a pro, hit the post, bar, angle, everything but got it.

Hit 60k exactly tonight thanks to Madden 09 and a bit of Left 4 Dead. Madden is great fun as always but easy on the achievements, so a nice game to play. Only a rental but may well pick it up at some point in the future as it could be the best version in recent years.
Congrats :D
Despite my inability to be any good at Madden games, I did really enjoy 09 :)
I'll hit 72k tomorrow, finishing off High School Musical then got lots of options: rental copies of NBA Live 09 and Hellboy 2 as well as stuff like Left4Dead and Prince of Persia, and MK Vs DC Universe.
Really am enjoying High School Musical, much more because of the gameplay than because of the content itself but it's nice, relaxing fun.
Last time I played a Madden game was on the Megadrive
I dont know how you guys and girls do it, had my 360 from launch and only on 16k
I've been slacking recently, my 360 hasn't even been on for a week :shocked:
I haven't used mine for a while either. Especially since my internet went tits up again.
I've added a few titles to my rental with tesco but they are crap tbh. I keep getting sent dvds as you can't have seperate lists like lovefilm :(
I'm hoping they send dead space to me this week or I'm screwed for having something to play.
I've been hitting Forza 2 quite alot the last couple of weeks and have nearly finished all the races, 8 left I think to gold all of them.
My question is this: How do I unlock some of the cars that are left?
I'm already level 50 so can't get any higher, 8 races left to do so thats 8 cars maybe 2 more for the championships, so 10 cars to be unlocked from that. But at the time of writing this I still had over 20 to unlock :(
How will I be able to get the points for all cars from certain countries and the all car points if I can't buy them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Davey_Pitch
21-01-2009, 10:26
Yup, when you've reached level 50 and bought all the cars available to you, change your region to one of the others. I think it costs 50,000 credits the first time you do it, and 100,000 credits the 2nd time. When you change to another region you'll be the same level as you were before (so level 50 for you), and unlock all the locked cars from that region :)
I've had a nice healthy boost this afternoon by finishing Prince of Persia. I got 430 points for killing the last mini boss, the final boss and doing the speed runs (which really weren't hard).
I haven't changed my mind about the game though I look slightly more favourable towards the combat than I did mid game. My biggest hatred are the quick time flying/wall running sections which ruin the whole experience. They're boring/infuriating/repetetive and imo have no place in a modern game.
I'm undecided whether to go for the last few seeds (I'm on 840ish) and fight the final boss again for the combo achievement or just sell it and move on. I'll ponder it tonight.
Next:
Either Dead Space; which I'm going to play through once, on easy, it's too scary to think about playing it more, or start Tomb Raider (probably get DS out the way). I'm also very very very tempted to get the Fable 2 DLC tonight :)

Do both in one go - you have to beat him again to get the last light seed, do the combos on your way through, wouldn't take that long :)

If you do, let me know what it's like :) I'm hoping for average, in which case it can wait :p
I do quite like PoP but I'm not playing it obsessively, it's just quite nice to drop in on every now and then. Feels to me like a mindless Blockbuster film, ultimately very flawed but entertaining nonetheless and keeps me occupied.

I did get the die less than 100 times and finish in 12 hours achievements so 1000/1000 is technically very doable...

Hmmm, Abooie will pile 100's of hours into The Last Remnant, re-battle through battles close to 10 hours in replay time, find every little detail and get both infuriated and angry in trying to complete it... but he is contemplating not putting around a couple of hours into getting the last 140 points from Prince of Persia :p.

I've been playing properly and chasing your times on Forza. Beat you on a few races can't get near you on most of them though :(

I Love that feature about Forza2, Racing your mates but still alone is Genius.
Glad you haven't beat All my times as well :p
Finally managed to finish Forza 2 now :)
Done all the races and have managed to get all the cars too :)
If anyone still needs cars to finish the achievements let me know and I can gift them over.
Managed to do the arcade achievements too which I'm quite proud of as they were bloody hard work.(well the Nurburgring ones anyway)
Have been trying to get the car broker one by selling cars between my 2 accounts, my 2nd account has got the achievement but my main hasn't :confused: Any ideas?
Have any of you played and finished spiderwick chronicles?
I'm trying to find the last sprites and trying to trigger the garden sprite quest.
The quest hasn't triggered yet I only need a few sprites to finish the game. :(

I can't remember the exact details as it was a while ago that I 1ked it. But I know I found the x360a achievement guide invaluable: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56474
Think I had to look about on their forum for a few specifics too as a couple were a right pain to get.
Cheers got it now from that guide, had to find one specfic fairy thingy to trigger it. Ta :)
One more to find for the 100% complete.
Cool :)
I quite liked Spiderwick Chronicles, good simple fun. Film wasn't bad either.
Haven't seent he film but I might watch it now. Only really playing this because It came through on the rental. Not a bad game though, bit frustrated at times running over old ground 50 times. I prefer it when they let you quick leap to areas you have unlocked.
A good rental though.
Cool :)

Aye. I played it through with my daughter and we thought it was a pretty good. :)
On another note I'm persistent... (stubborn some would say).
Prince of Persia.. done.. 1000/1000 :D
Cool :)

Yeah I quite enjoyed the game too although I think I'd missed one roach somewhere and he took me ages to find!
I managed all the roaches first time. My trouble was I hadn't foound the one fairy that triggered the garden quest so I was running around trying to find others that hadn't spawned yet.
The online achieves where hilarious. You didn't even need to play online just a second controller.
Hopefully now I will get dead space or Quantum of Solace, more likely I will get Prince Caspian.

There's 1 point for finishing Infinite Undiscovery on normal then hard then impossible then going to the bonus dungeon, fighting your way to the top and killing the big big boss.
I thought not :shocked: next suggestion ;D
Davey_Pitch
23-01-2009, 09:59
Fifa 09, you get 19 points for scoring in the 89th minute (though I'd guess that's why you now have an uneven score). You could always rent Summer Athletics, that has several 1 point achievements :)

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter has loads of odd scores for its online achievements, that's where I ened up with this :(.
The Football Manager games also have some decent odd points. I'm a stickler for liking a 'neat' score :o
You could try Forza (as that's giving you 654 points) to get all the cars from france. There's only 4 cars I think but you have to win the last one.

Already got too many games to play.
NokkonWud
05-02-2009, 13:16
The DLC IS adding achievements.
The problem with selling something like PoP is that people know it was only £18 pre-Xmas anyway and people won't give you money making it worth your while.
Hadn't seen that confirmed, but was hoping for it tbh, I was planning on getting it anyway (if it was priced reasonably).

Prince of Persia: Epilogue DLC.
IGN: Are there new Achievements/Trophies?
Rguigui: Yes.
Source: http://uk.xboxlive.ign.com/articles/948/948893p1.html
What I did find interesting is that you can play it without having completed it first. Surely that completely takes away from the term 'epilogue'? It will 99% certain be 800 points, there's no way it will cost more than the Tomb Raider, Fallout 3 and Mirrors Edge DLC and isn't going to be competitive with the extra cost for the Grand Theft Auto IV dlc.
Awesome, thanks dude :) I'd have it for 800 points I reckon.
Muhahaha.
I've decided to stop mucking about and embrace the whore in me...
My 2nd Lovefilm list now looks like:

"Avatar: The Legend Of Aang - The Burning Earth Dispatching soon"
I do feel slightly dirty for all this and I won't be able to moan at anyone above me again but all those points...
High School Musical is a good one for points and surprisingly fun.
It did initially make me feel dirty though :(
NokkonWud
12-02-2009, 00:25
But I did say it was good...
About time you rented those Abooie, I enjoyed all of them (bar Avatar), but the sports ones will be very dated now and Fifa may seem a struggle, especially if you've at all played Fifa 08 or Fifa 09 - they feel about 30 years apart.
The last Fifa game I played was World Cup 06 ;) I nearly beat all the challenges as well.
I've never played an ice hockey or basket ball game so I'm quite looking forward to both. I'm hoping I can pick up the basics with these (as well as 1k) and then move onto later versions. I was also also tempted to add Madden 06 but I know more about Mongolian Interior Design than I do about American Football; so I've skipped it.
Davey_Pitch
12-02-2009, 09:38
Madden 06 is a really easy 1k, though a bit boring as you need to sim about 30 years of the franchise career, which will take a good few hours. To be honest though I didn't know much about American Football till I played my first Madden game, which was the original one 20 years ago :D
I still don't know much about American Football but I've managed to 1k Madden 06 and get a fair few points from the others too. Plus it's slowly starting to make sense to me :D
I love all the basketball games (although some are a lot better than others), but never been able to get into the hockey games. Just not my thing although I played NHL2k6 for the points.
NBA Street Homecourt was my favourite basketball game, mainly because it reminded me of NBA Jam :D
Davey_Pitch
12-02-2009, 13:08
Homecourt was good fun and a good 1k thanks to some whoring with Jen, but I preferred the NBA Street games as the tricks were more customisable than in Homecourt.
I want a sequel to homecourt :( I still need the online achieves as well.
