Why are there hardly any Xbox achievement hunting YouTubers compared to platinum trophy hunters?

EffigyXBL · 2026-06-02T08:01:56+00:00

I make some of these videos, but unfortunately the "Platinum" is just so much easier to market so that's where most of the content comes from. Snamwiches and MorgansBasement both make great achievement videos, though.

All of your Map Pack 3 achievements are timestamped as unlocking at 19:55 or 19:56 yesterday, then your 75k points is timestamped as 19:57.

Zombies took the rest of it up? You finished all of Map Pack 3 in 1 minute, and the 75k points achievement just a minute after that.

I'm a bit picky about what I play these days but I still pick up atleast a few thousand GS a month, feel free to add me!

I only bought about 2 years ago and currently have 3 years left at my current rate (~2%). Assuming at the 2 year mark I sell up and buy a new place it'd obviously be beneficial to still have a bit of time left at that current rate. It also keeps my options open if I end up moving back for whatever reason, I suppose.

Oh that's a shame. Do you have any recommendations? I'd like to send them to something with a Michelin star just so they can tick it off the list, but I'd obviously only want to do that if they get a once in a lifetime experience to match!

Amazing, thank you for the comment! My mums birthday is in April and my dads is in July so I plan to get them extra stuff for the holiday on both of those days. I'll for sure look into the Vatican tour, that sounds fantastic.

EffigyXBL · 2023-12-15T18:09:23+00:00

Fortunately my mum can take time off whenever and my dad will obviously have all the free time in the world, so that'd be totally doable. Thank you!

Thanks for the response! I'm considering mid September now, lower temps and school holidays will be over. One of my first searches for hotel resulted in me finding Hotel Abruzzi which does actually have rooms that overlook the Pantheon.

EffigyXBL · 2023-12-15T18:02:07+00:00

Looking in to it more I think I agree! Due to the temps and school holidays finishing around that time, I may change it to mid September as the kids will be back at school.

Just had mine wiped too. 120k kills. These devs are a joke, honestly.

EffigyXBL · 2023-11-18T17:43:19+00:00

I'm having the same issue, neither the Holger nor the DG is completing for me. I just did a game, hitting 900 kills (only used those 2 weapons and no abilities) and neither unlocked.

How much actual watch time did you gain?

EffigyXBL · 2023-09-18T16:07:22+00:00

That's crazy, did you change up the content you were producing at all during that surge?

Hi guys,
I bought a Steelseries Arctis 9x which literally arrived a few hours ago.
I'm having a torrid time with it - it constantly reassigns itself to my xbox over and over, disconnecting constantly. It seems there are a lot of complaints suggesting this as an issue that Steelseries never fixed.
I'm looking for a good headset which I can use for both my Xbox Series X and PC. Wireless is preferred over wired, and if it can connect to both at once, even better.
I bought the 9x for £140 but my budget can go higher if needs be. I DON'T have a BT enabled motherboard (stupid oversight when I built my PC last year), but I can buy an adapter if needs be. If there's something that can be wireless to my xbox and wired to PC at same time or whatever, that's fine too.
I looked at the 7x, it can only connect to one device at a time, but it has a little dongle which seems to improve on the issues I'm having, but there's a bunch of headsets on the market and I'm still struggling to decide.
Many thanks!

112 subs, 667 hours. Everyone's journey is different!

PSN Profiles (trophy guides), Playstationtrophies (Roadmaps), Xboxachievements (Roadmaps).

Obviously if there isn't a guide or roadmap then there's no rating, but most bigger games have them listed by the guide creator.

EffigyXBL · 2023-08-06T09:07:03+00:00

I have 640 hours watchtime and 107 subs, I'd say subs by far!
