I just need some waffles...

Posted: August 28, 2008
Category: Nothing in particular

I seriously need like- 2 waffle games. I'm stuck @ 28k, and I want to get 30k so much! But all the games I have, including all the new ones I have , are not really achievement based games.

I wish the point system was a little more standard for all games- say on every game 500 points are easy, that nearly everyone can get, 350 points are medium, that you have to have some kind of skill to get, and the last 150 were either for the best of the best, or the lame dudes who put 100s of hours into a game going after all those stupid flags. And there shouldn't be 5 point achievements! What the heck? When I play a game and do something and hear that unlocking noise I want to see my gamerscore change!!! Is that too much to ask? I don't THINK SO!

So, I'm trying to think of what to play that has moderately easy achievements... It's going to be a case of- 30 points on this game, 20 points on that game, I think. I actually looked at and considered for like- 5 minutes paying the $50 for Prince Caspian, because I've heard the achievements are pretty easy.

Getting to 30k shouldn't be THAT tough though, with a completion rate of only like- 30% on my games, I have a lot of room to improve even if I only play games I've already played! But I'm one of those people... I want instant gratification. I want to get into a game, and be able to measure my game progress in gs.

OK, that's the end of my rant, I'm very frustrated with the games I have right now- I'm not saying I want every game to be Avatar, of course, that would be stupid, and achievements would be completely meaningless. I'd just like to see more achievements for progress and less for stupid things like "whip swing 250 times" in Lego Indiana Jones. I made my son sit there and keep pressing B. It was an annoying achievement I'm glad I didn't have to get, but seriously... not skill based in any way!!!

COD2 is about 8 hours on Veteran, all achievements can be obtained by playing through the campaign. Same with COD4 if you finish that up on Veteran. Just need some FPS skill for the waffles!

Easiest I got so far were Avatar, TMNT, King Kong, Madden 06, 08, and 09. Too Human has some pretty easy ones, they just take a little while to get. Guitar Hero Aerosmith, if you can play on expert you can get pretty much all of these achievements. I also hear that Phantasy Star: Universe is pretty easy points, but I havent been able to get my hands on a copy yet.

pretty much any 2k6 sports title is an easy 750 -1000 points and can be bought used at gamestop.com or amazon.com for like $3.99 or so. you don't even have to be a sports waffle to pancake these points with a little adjustment of the sliders in your favor......Big Grin

I didn't think to check amazon- I can't buy games from gamestop.com because they don't accept my billing address, my card won't validate. This is a good idea though...

really? You-know-who wants that one so much!!!

All in all, I'm probably not gonna get to 30k this weekend, which blows... but... I have some ideas for next week!!!

play ut3 (if you still have it) setup a full bot (novice) matches on live with no public spots for 5-10 minutes no kill limit, set match mutators on beserk and weapons swap.. then set it on what ever weapon achievement you are going for you should also get killing spree. with all the weapons and killing sprees those points should bring you to 29 thousand. those matches go super fast and its super funny how fast your guy moves. oh and play on morbias arena.
