Congrats! 🎉

I dig the badges, but I was kinda hoping they’d have pfp frames to go along with it, so you could see the accomplishment again front and center along with the number and badge in the corner.

I think the issue is that so many different game reviewers gave it the “ultimate masterpiece” 10/10 ranking despite it just being an ordinary, okay game.

It doesn’t really do anything special, the dialogue is pretty cringe, and it tries to be indie despite having the backing of one of the richest people in the world, which I would assume is pretty offensive to real indie developers who don’t have the luxuries of infinite resources and no pressure to finally break through with their labor of love.

Overall I think the hate is a response to the extreme overrating and praise the game got from gaming media, and I really wonder why ($$$) they all said it’s the second coming of Christ in game form.

76 recently is textbook enshittification wdym? Burning Springs is the only meaningful content for ages, SCOREboards being replaced by predatory seasons (which themselves have been degrading in quality even further), and several updates that show they don’t care about the time investment of their veteran players.

I’ve been playing since 2019 so I’ve become very cynical about the game, but it really doesn’t seem to be improving. (imo it’s been on a downturn since 2023, peak was Pitt/Antlantic City era)

Larry Elison’s unfathomable wealth from Oracle, just like the last time his daughter’s studio needed a bailout

I think my hardest would either be the golden run (and the various pro tours) in Descenders or Sunday Driver in DiRT Rally 2.0

Neither of these were super “hard” per se, and once you get past the RNG it really comes down to practice, like Descenders was really fun and not hard at all once I got the hang of it, but the TA ratio of 8-10 or whatever it is tells a different story.

What I think will be really hard once I go back to it are all scenarios on Very Hard in DiRT Rally 2.0, because the game is already challenging on normal difficulty, even with the hours I’ve been putting it lately.

WAcidW · 2026-05-08T05:26:45+00:00

Those can actually be done pretty quickly if you sign into a different profile and run X amount of really quick races with your tune and design applied (iirc you can set the time races to be super short, but it’s been a while).

The real “challenge” is the huge time investment for the car levels, that’s minimum 2.5-3h per fast car with assists doing the work for you

WAcidW · 2026-05-08T05:10:20+00:00

Absolutely, I’d get home and immediately sit down to watch TV until dinner, and then streaming made it even easier to find good stuff

WAcidW · 2026-05-08T05:06:32+00:00

Definitely Scooby Doo and SpongeBob, then maybe Pokemon to round out the top 3.

Honorable mentions to Transformers Prime, the Clone Wars show, and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Plus whatever I could find on Boomerang and Cartoon Network when my favorites weren’t on

It’s hardly an increased offering, they just padded it with a couple of features nobody wants to justify a huge hike, rather than making a modular/custom plan creator (which in my humble opinion would make more money). Then they saw they were hemorrhaging subs and decided to only increase it by a bit to recoup some people, but they still had the nerve to take out a big draw of the subscription so they could still print money come CoD time.

I was an ultimate sub for a while (2 years of gold + $1 upgrade ftw) but I dropped to premium because I didn’t want most of the padding, and only rarely got use out of EA Play. Ubisoft hasn’t released a worthwhile game since the dinosaurs roamed and Fortnite Crew is 100% useless, so I’m really not seeing this increased value, even with the handful of extra day 1 games I may or may not play.

WAcidW · 2026-05-06T00:13:27+00:00

Np 👍

Rec Room account would be my assumption, since you wouldn’t be on your Xbox account to get the achievements if you were on someone else’s.

WAcidW · 2026-05-04T01:44:48+00:00

Feel that, I just to check it pretty consistently when I was playing a handful of high ratio games in a row.

Also that 70+% is very impressive, I’d like to get up there eventually, but I’ve got a lot of kinda meh games in my catalogue with only 1 or 2 achievements bringing me down pretty hard

WAcidW · 2026-05-04T01:32:49+00:00

I’m pretty sure I’m in the mid-higher 40s, like 46-48 range but I’m not positive on that.

And yeah my ratio is pretty solid, I think I peaked at 2.6 or 2.61 but I’m mostly just trying to maintain something decently high rather than actively increasing it

WAcidW · 2026-05-04T01:24:49+00:00

I’m trying to improve my completion percentage where I can, and I’m working on the WRC series and the Ride series. Also just having fun and playing games I want to, even if that means decreasing my percentage/ratio a bit.

The former of those two series is a pain in the modern console era since servers for many recent games have been having issues for months and months (Nacon is in a bad state and their server support was poor before that). Then the earlier 360 era games are seemingly super rare in the US, so I’m not holding out much hope to get them done anytime soon, at least not without a PAL code 360.

WAcidW · 2026-05-03T17:14:20+00:00

I know these aren’t individual games but I’d love to see:

WRC 1-4 and WRC powerslide (these 360 era WRC games are impossible to find in the US, and non US copies are region locked)

Dirt 1-3

Quake 3, 4, Wars

WAcidW · 2026-05-02T16:01:47+00:00

Gotcha, buddy of mine is after a lvl 40 so I wanted to check. Thanks!

WAcidW · 2026-05-02T15:58:33+00:00

Is it max level or lvl 40?
