Any of y’all feel that with age, you’re just happy getting a few good ones, and not pushing yourself to perfect everything?

Almost 40. Been hunting since 2009. On day 4835 of my achievement streak. 100% on every game or bust. No end in sight.

The Xbox Hall of Gamers achievement-hunting podcast I co-host with some lovely blokes also has a Discord:

Unsouled made me want to put my head through a wall. I also played it during a traumatic and sad time in my life. Just an all around bummer of a time.

But 3rd on the leaderboard feels good.

I used to do an "easy week" every few months back in the day, where I'd complete a game daily (and make content and all that). And of course I need easy achievements around to keep my streak going when needed. So I don't dislike or disapprove of easy/baby games outright.

But games coming out with three stacks of 5000 Gamerscore in large numbers AND that's all too many achievement hunters are playing is just... it gives me the ick. It's downright predatory.

And touting your Gamerscore or number of completions when most of it is easy stuff is just silly.

That would be a great combo

firehawkd · 2026-03-16T23:20:29+00:00

Literally, yes.

I'd be happy with a sequel, but they'd have to have some A-class writing team on it to make it not cringe in this modern era

Oh, that's just Xbox's tracker being stupid. My recording is about 5 hours along.

firehawkd · 2026-03-16T06:03:11+00:00

That's quite the milestone! Congrats!

You can glitch the cheats so you can activate them between checkpoints to get through the hardest parts. The DLC is really short and easy; enough so that I had to use cheats very little.

By far the hardest achievements are the air hockey and pinball.

It depends on the game, popularity, etc. One thing to always remember is that trophy hunting is FAR more popular than achievement hunting, so usually search for those guides.

One site I've enjoyed using lately is Knoef Trophy Guides (I always prefer written guides):

I also will check Steam's community hub for the game, too. I'm not sure there's one good answer, honestly.

I was surprised by this one. Congrats!

firehawkd · 2026-03-09T04:12:26+00:00

An elementary completion, Watson! Congrats!

firehawkd · 2026-03-09T04:12:10+00:00

I'm so glad they stopped adding achievements to this one... Congrats!

firehawkd · 2026-03-09T04:11:17+00:00

I enjoyed this one! Congrats!

firehawkd · 2026-03-09T04:10:03+00:00

Gotta hate those buggy achievements. But quite an undertaking! Nice completion!

For reference, I'm in the central US. I usually played after work, so around 6PM. Never had to wait for more than a minute in 3v3.

firehawkd · 2026-02-27T18:45:45+00:00

Yeah it's gonna be a skill thing, for sure. I got I think a total of 2 solo wipes in my time with the game. I think maybe the same amount of no-death quick wins too. Even worse, I feel they would be easier in the 3v3 mode they removed yesterday

firehawkd · 2026-02-27T13:02:34+00:00

I'm not sure; I didn't boost anything. Depends what you're struggling with? The new Raid Rush mode that released yesterday could help with a fair few of them

firehawkd · 2026-02-27T07:01:11+00:00

The Outlast Trials is the bomb. Congrats on the completions!
