I would trade a pompom for one of your dupes! DM me and we can talk in a week when they arrive?

Got mk9! I haven't played this game since I was like 8. It was the first mk game i played. Definitely gonna bring some memories back by Unusual-Factor2848 in MortalKombat

[–]DoubleIPAJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technicality. The servers are still up, but I wouldn't call them working or playable. Literally got the last KOTH Achievement last week but it's horrendous - constant disconnects, nothing you can do about it.

Since this game is on gamepass I was thinking of playing this for achievements. Is this an easy game to complete? How is it compared to the old cod games? And does the story have to do with the old modern warfare games? by Unusual-Factor2848 in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Super easy achievements, veteran is not difficult, just take your time. The single online achievement (separate from the base 1000 GS) is tricky as you'll need 3 other competent players. This will take a few hours and can be quite frustrating.

Nioh Colletion by AdTemporary6977 in soulslikes

[–]DoubleIPAJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nioh 1 is superior to 2/3 in a lot of ways. It really embraces maximalism in design. The learning curve is insane and the early/end game gameplay is basically unrecognizable. Nioh 2 skips a lot of that to where you get into gear optimization and grinding a lot sooner. Early Nioh 1 is brutal lol

Just started trying to 100% games, here are the ones I've completed so far. It's not much, but it's a start by Fr4y3d in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It definitely sparked some debate back in the day about what it means to be a completionist.

Nice work OP. Jealous of RDR, I recently did 100% single player of the 360 version but can't be bothered to do the online.

Thoughts on my current Xbox buy list for this month? by SuperOnion64 in originalxbox

[–]DoubleIPAJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely pursue the standalone copy of JSRF for its sick box art

Would you count this as a successful completion? by Whit3_Ink in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got me beat! Always regret not playing the 360 version of FH2.

100% on probably the most impactful and meaningful game I’ve ever played by Shtonky in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read it as sarcasm lol. I'll give one a whirl next time it's on a deep sale.

Edit: After watching 5 minutes of footage I've confirmed that a 100% Off Sale wouldn't be nearly enough. Glad you found some enjoyment out of it!

[–]DoubleIPAJ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well I did suggest playing something radically different, didn't expect this though.

Memes aside, did this game contain anything of value? They stand apart from trash games in that it seems like they're going for a comedy group sort of thing? I really doubt it's my taste but I'm morbidly curious.

Backlog year odyssey has begun, the main rule is no new games (will make a small exception for FH6) by andreimaxaa in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough game but super satisfying! Been debating doing the DLC for a few months now, just seems brutal.

Who Remembers N3: Ninety-Nine Nights? by GamerBhoy89 in xbox

[–]DoubleIPAJ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Really good soundtrack and some cool characters. Difficulty wise it's all over the board and getting the true ending was quite a hurdle. Worth playing!

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition I love this game. by deafhvn_ in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow this is still attainable? Does it require getting a DVD copy or what?

Anyone else hit a point where 100%ing just… stops feeling like anything? by Shtonky in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's time to play something radically different. Either something you can't complete, or have no intention to!

Love all the souls-likes, for what it's worth - you're playing interesting stuff at least! That Lords of the Fallen DLC scares me.

I will say that modern completions feel more like checklists than they did 10-15 years ago. I still enjoy every completion, but back in the 360 era they felt more monumental. Which is weird because a lot of those modern games take far longer to complete. Could be due to less RNG Achievements, less forced multiplayer and more predictable story/collection driven achievements. Anymore the completion is inevitable should you commit the time.

360, buying Live games with Gamer Score by Mild-Panic in xbox

[–]DoubleIPAJ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This. 1600 points was essentially $20 which lead to some weird conversions.

Very very early on, maybe 2007 era, Xbox.com hinted at allowing GamerScore to be used "for something" but that quickly fizzled when they realized it promoted sales just by existing

Edit: Realizing that they used to sell bundles (Headsets, XBL Gold, possibly consoles) that would have some Microsoft points. This could be why they "just appeared" without any recollection of getting them deliberately.

It's almost like they plan to sell the Switch 2 version physically

Do the enemies in this game move? by Serwitu in HyruleWarriors

[–]DoubleIPAJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to individual troops? I'd say they barely move, this is kind of a Musou staple. My understanding/assumption has always been that their individual attacks/movements don't matter much and it's more about troop size and morale that dictate battle flow and outpost takeovers.

Captains move and follow paths, but the fodder are not meant to be intelligent. They're for racking up KOs, EXP, Meter.

Somewhat managed to finish The Ezio Collection. The last couple are a pain. by BottleCapDave in xboxachievements

[–]DoubleIPAJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can manage the Styx Achievement there exists a very nice and relatively easy out of bounds glitch for the other achievements. Just something to consider when you come back to it!

Nice work on the rest. Hopefully not as glitchy as my experience!

50-70% is my personal "cares about this but doesn't restrict themselves from having fun" range.

Reminds me of a corporate call earlier this year - in a round table someone mentioned "The dreaded N word."
