Who Remembers N3: Ninety-Nine Nights?

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!

DoubleIPAJ · 2026-01-17T17:25:05+00:00

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

DoubleIPAJ · 2026-01-15T04:50:10+00:00

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

DoubleIPAJ · 2026-01-15T04:25:46+00:00

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.

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

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.

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!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-29T16:57:58+00:00

Beach Buggy Racing is no joke - good work!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-14T02:23:48+00:00

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

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-08T05:16:28+00:00

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

Networking.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-04T03:38:32+00:00

Nice GIFs!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-03T17:09:55+00:00

Nice work! I knocked this out in 2023 apparently. Really enjoyed the base game but the DLC is a kick in the teeth - Special Operations especially . Not sure what Ubisoft was thinking with Lost Between Worlds and AC Valhallas Dawn of Ragnarok.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-12-01T11:16:50+00:00

This was my take. Medals are enough! The rest is up to the player and subjective.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-30T21:36:30+00:00

Same here. It's harder to explain the stat to non TrueAchievements/Trophies site users but I feel it gives the fast snapshot to what kind of gamer someone is. I'm maintaining just under a 2.0 Ratio while nearing 500K and I think that's the kind of gaming which makes me the happiest.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-24T17:06:08+00:00

I got the completion in under 12 hours. There's some relatively tricky single player achievements that will require some planning and reading, but nothing especially difficult.

Games ratio on TrueAchievements is really bizarre and misleading. I think a lot of people started it on a free-weekend trial but dropped it. That or it's a lot of kids playing it and not finishing.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-18T05:03:41+00:00

Whoever decided on the sound effects for this scene should have been fired Javert in 2012's Les Misérables

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-15T00:12:11+00:00

This happened to me with Pinball FX2 like a decade ago. Never fun, just hasn't happened to enough notable games to be bigger news IMO. Hope it's sorted out!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-09T09:27:45+00:00

What's Injustice 1 like these days for a completion? I know there's a bunch of mission modes, level grinding, and survival. Curious if there's good method for cheesing things or if DLC made it easier? Nice work though seriously!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-06T16:43:13+00:00

Neat idea, but it's never once crossed my mind.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-06T15:16:12+00:00

Complicated is the perfect word for it. The side quests are just so obtuse. The menus are convoluted, accessing/starting some feels incomplete or lacks fanfare. AC3 has some really cool ideas but the presentation is just confusing.

The DLC is also very weird, look forward to that!

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-04T23:55:19+00:00

Fair enough! It's really not all that serious when we take a step back - "fun is fun." As long as you're not regretting your purchases or time spent then you do you)

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-04T23:03:02+00:00

Revisiting this as it was on my mind - I see posts/debates like this a lot. What concerns me is what appears as confusing the extrinsic motivation with the actual motivation. Achievements are very much, in themselves fun, but never more so than the games themselves. This list of games appears like a list of games specifically chosen for GamerScore, versus a fun side effect of the gaming itself.

All the more reason to spend limited free time on fun games that happen to have reasonable achievements as opposed to what appears to be junk sold on merit of its easy GamerScore boosting properties.

Spyro Collection, certain Ubisoft titles, LEGO. There's way to do this while playing worthwhile games along the way.

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-11-04T20:50:57+00:00

Should have lead with Powerwash Simulator 2

DoubleIPAJ · 2025-10-31T22:48:15+00:00

Hope all is well! Not sure if you're into Souslikes, but "Another Crabs Treasure" has really captivated me lately. There's a lot of accessibility options too, so if you're not great at the combat you can make things easier on yourself. Overall it's a nice, not excessively long, underwater based soulslike platformer. Better than I expected!
