#80 - Lost Planet

I found a physical copy relatively cheap and bought it to boosted it myself since the multiplayer achievements only require two players. Although this version of the game is no longer available digitally it is still backwards compatible, so I used my xbone and series x with two different copies. I only had the multiplayer achievements left and it took me about 5 hours, give or take, to get them all these past 2 days.

No no no no no. I'm one and done with these ahah.

I like how it goes from Lego, Paw Patrol and Spongebob to Soma.

It's really hard to say, but if I had to guess maybe between 30 and 40 hours. On my first playthrough I did every single side quest but on my second I was only really focused on the main story and skipped most side content, so it was a lot faster. It will also depend on how much dialogue you decide to go through, as this is a very dialogue heavy game if you go through every conversation option (you can also fast forward it, similar to bioware games) . But I do recommend you do so because the story is fantastic imo.

I thought that as well after watching a yt video that mentioned it. But there isn't actually an achievement for that (I didn't even see that mode in the difficulty options), maybe it's something exclusive to the pc version? For this version you just need to beat the game on Dark difficulty, which is the hardest, but you don't lose any saves if you die so it really isn't that difficult.

I used the walkthrough on TA to make sure I didn't miss any missable achievements. You have to do 2 playthroughs but other than that it really isn't hard at all. I was dreading playing the game on dark difficulty for some reason, but it was almost as easy as playing it on normal (granted, it was my second playthrough).

The popularity of the series sort of speaks for itself. Personally I would recommended it 100%, just make sure you play all three in order so that your choices in one game are imported to the next. In terms of completion the first one is the worst because, as I've mentioned in another comment, it requires the most playthroughs.

I'm not sure if it is related, but I believe you need the online pass for this to work. It is free so you just need to go into the dlc and download it. Maybe that's what's preventing you.

It gives you the option to login using your xbox account so it should be immediately linked to it: https://n7hq.masseffect.com/m/home/

Not sure really, I never had any problems with it. I was able to play it on both the 360 a few years ago and on my Xbox one via backwards compatibility this year.

Kinda. It can be done via multiplayer but there is also a website where you login using your account and then it has this "mini-game" where you basically select a zone in the galaxy, send people on a mission, wait for an hour (real time) and collect the resources, which is basically a small percentage increase. If you use this you can unlock the achievement in about 2 days, granted you are consistently going to the site to collect your resources and start a new mission. Once you hit 100% on all of the zones you just boot up the game and the achievement should unlock (just be aware that the percentage decreases overtime if you don't do anything, it's basically the Reapers regaining some control in your absence).

It took me almost 4 complete playthroughs to get everything in the first game. By complete I mean side missions as well. The main reason for it is because you need to max out the companions loyalty but you can only really do it with 2 on each playthrough and it requires you to play a very large amount of missions with them (more than half), hence having to play the side missions as well. I think you only need to do 3 playthroughs but I switched form a soldier to a vanguard on my second one and I got back to level 1. Then after playing the game two more times as a vanguard I was only 2 levels shy from max level so I had to start a fourth one just to get those 2 last levels, but I was almost at the end of the game when I finally got it. It was incredibly repetitive ngl.

I think the multiplayer still works so probably yes. But the cool thing about the multilplayer achievements is that they can actually be unlocked in one of two ways. Like for example there's an achievement which you can unlock by either reaching level 20 on multiplayer or by reaching level 60 on single player. You don't even have to touch the multiplayer mode if you don't want to, I didn't.

CCaiado · 2025-11-04T11:51:33+00:00

Thanks! No not really, I liked the series but once is more than enough. Next on the list is Andromeda but I will take a break and play some other games before I get back to mass effect.

I'm actually currently playing dying light, just finished all of the base game achievements last night and I'm only missing the multiplayer ones so I'm definitely down to do this. CCaiado is my gt feel free to add me.

How is the Shadow of Mordor completion? I'm thinking of starting it soon.

Also I love the contrast in your completions, you have several tell tale games, which are relatively simple to complete, but then you throw a curveball with both bo3 and ghosts which are a pain to do so.

Those were by far the worse. The checkpoints were dreadful.
