Hearth[chat] : Hit it very hard!

Hmm last night some guy hit 1,000,000 gamer score on XBL.

Wonder how many of those are legit.

If it's the guy I'm thinking he's almost certainly legit. He's been grinding through games for years doing this. One million points is his thing. It is both amazing and kinda sad, like learning a man has broken the keepy-uppy record. Well done and all, but hmmm.

I say this as a guy who chases achievements without enjoying it want quite often.

I enjoy getting achievements but I don't chase them. If they give me bonuses I'll chase them but that's a dark and forbidden achievement philosophy.

Morn'. How's your penultimate workday?

I liked how in Infamous 2, you could get a bonus to your chosen ethical side if you got the appropriate achievement in Infamous 1.

I had to force myself to trade in a bunch of games even though I hadn't gotten 1000/1000 on them. Or had the 1000 but hadn't bought all the DLC and completed those as well.

Even stuff I knew I would never, ever do because it would require countless hours of grinding I was saving because hey maybe I'll get fired and have nothing to do and then I can grind out that 'Kill 100,000' dudes in multiplayer achievement.

It was painful, but for the best. I try and keep my grinding for achievements to acceptable levels these days. I once spent an entire afternoon grinding with a buddy for Stranglehold multiplayer achievements. Horrendous. It was probably sunny outside.

- Optional quests (1 per quest)
- Story chapters
- Optional quests (have to to several)
- Do a thing/kill a thing X times
ALL ONLINE ACHIEVEMENTS

- Do a thing/kill a thing X times
- Do a complex thing that cannot be done without active collusion of other players ("Wedding Crasher")

Because it operates on your console's clock and not a synchronised time thing!

But seriously, I did have to do that after I forgot a date.

Haphazard

I think I've only got one game with all achievements unlocked on the Xbox. And that's a game that had only 7 or 8 achievements.

Ok, that sounds like work, so I probably don't have that one. Hmm. My mind's going. It had a good run, I think. Goodbye world.

Casual

other than rare bouts of obsessive madness i tend to not bother with achievements

i dont get a lot of satisfaction out of it because i either get them just by playing the game or i engage in game breaking behaviour to get them

Casual

weirdly MW2 is a rare example of a game where i went a litle nuts trying to get them all

i think i got everything bar one because it was a lolnope achievement

RMS Oceanic

I have 30 Platinum Trophies.

I say this with neither pride nor pity, but mere fact.

bloodyroarxx

The best Cheevo/Trophy is Dark Souls 2 "This is Dark Souls" when you die the first time

Heh, I don't own enough games for the PS3 to even get close to that.
I use it mostly as a BD player.

But the games I do have were well worth it (Last of Us, the Uncharted games, ...).

How do you feel about Batman AC's 'login on every holiday in the year'

Krathoon

I tell my recriuter that I can take interviews in the morning this week and anytime next week. She schedules an interview at 2pm today. Dipshit. I don't have time to prepare for it. So, suck it.

RMS Oceanic

Gravity Rush was a really interesting game whose plot goes screwy at the three quarters mark.

I'm still not sure what's going on.

Athenor

To this day, my favorite achievement in any game is The One Where He Kills You.

Lunacy's pretty close though.

I'm kinda ambivalent, because while it's totally meant to game you into hanging round longer than you otherwise would, Calendar Man's speeches are pretty great, and it's a restriction that's easy to circumvent and get it inside an hour if you really want. Crysis 2 however is based on Server time so the only way to get it is the slow path.

Casual

so last night i somehow managed to get FFXIV going

spent ages making a character

sat through the hour long entrance video

finally got control of the game, walked up to the very first guy and... *crash*

fuck everything about this game

Athenor

Seeing my friend drive around some Magitek armor in that game for 15 seconds ALMOST got me to buy it.. because goddamn it looked so cool. Then I remembered it was an MMO, and beyond that it was an MMO with Square's goddamned stupid mechanics baked in, especially the one where I might lose my character. I was like nope after that.

Haphazard

I'm really burnt out on MMOs. Perhaps something like Destiny will rekindle my interest, we'll see. For now, the only multiplayer thing I dabble in is Warthunder.

Casual

the only MMO i've ever seriously played is STO

i really tried to get into SW but no one else wanted to play it and it wasn't great for soloing so ehhh i just kinda fell out of it

Casual

buuuut i'm about to have a lot of free time on my hands so who knows

Haphazard

In other news: I'm craving a TD soundtrack. Why isn't there one already?

Eeee you guys.

Job fair today.

I should not be that excited, especially since only one place is listed as having a job offer I want out of, like, 60 different organizations and "over 1000 job offers"... but I am excite.

The hell.

I said I'd get up early, and get moving on the day and maybe some cleanup.

It's now 50 minutes before work (and I have a 25 minute commute) and.. ugh. I don't wanna!

Driving my sis to school. I already played a hearthstone game today and I know tomorrow I'm buying some packs.

Fuuuuuuuu

I need to read on exactly what you can and can't access without buying packs. There seem to be different types of decks? Advanced or elite or something? Idk maybe I misunderstood.

Sig we gotta play some
