Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft Gamerscore League

In all honesty i was pretty happy with the way MS dealt with things. Its EA i'm pissed off with which is unfortunate as there was a few EA games on the horizon i was wanting to pick up but ain't so sure now. And in regards the 2 fifa 12 achievements i had been contemplating picking up fifa 12 anyway so its not the end off the world. As RONSTER said though if it had been something awfull on my profile i would be making more of a fuss.

yeah pick up FIFA 12. Don't let my sig misguide you. 12 is better than 11, but I like its slogan

by the way I know how you feel. Well my account hasn't been hacked, but I got Zumba Kinect for my girlfriend and when I fired it up I was still signed in with my profile and not with hers. So now she got one achievement before I noticed that and now it's doomed to stay on my profile forever.
I feel so embarrassed...

OT: I need some f*cking Skyrim DLCs. When is the first one coming out ? February ?



I need some Skyrim DLCs



I really need to figure out this Plat games thing or pay more attention to it. I think I have the GS thing going this season though.

Yeah, you're killing in gamerscore. Reminds me of myself last season when I was running through the Lego and sports games. I'm so used to looking at the TA score that I don't realize I haven't gotten that much gamerscore. As for the plat situation I know it's a bit different from last season. Now you actually get more points for getting 100% then just having the highest score. Speaking of platinums, I didn't realize the Kinect Fun Lab games were counted. I might work on a few this weekend with my girlfriend. I'm trying to finish DC so I can focus on DC2. Probably try to finish up some other Kinect games as well.

 

Anyone else grinding in Gears 3 for the Seriously 3.0 achievement? I have 23 Onyx medals and 22 Gold yet I still feel like I'm never going to get it. I've played in every Gears 3 event yet I haven't gotten credit for it with the War Supporter medal. I wonder if Epic is doing that since it glitched earlier and was giving too many event ribbons. I haven't gotten an event ribbon since Gearsmas. Why is it that the one medal that is associated with 2 achievements is the glitchy one?



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Neo, if Kinect Fun Labs count and the two I've 100%'d get enough gamers, please don't count them as plats for me if you can. I don't want them tarnishing my record anymore than they already do.

What's wrong with Kinect Fun Labs? I think some of them are neat little diversions. I wouldn't really consider them games as most really have no point other than passing time acting silly. Plus that's free plat points imo...

Just have an OCD about what is on my profile, even if I can 100%, I like my overall list to portray quality

The upside was I got 100% and they have good Ratios, but still. Ugly, wish I could delete them!



 

Yeah I saw Air Band on there as a Plat which surprised me.

Plats are pretty easy to figure out but much harder to get.  The Platinum Games page of this thread shows which games qualify as platinum:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3860990

Hover over the game pics and it will show you the name of the game.  And there are columns indicating the high score of the game and how many people have the game, and how many people have the high score.

Plats for Retail/PC (10 pts), XBLA (8 points), WP7 (6 points), and Freebie (4 points) games are worth different amounts. You get full points when a game becomes platinum or you max the gamerscore fully.  You get half points for raising a platinum score at 90% or higher of the total available gamerscore.

For a game to become a platinum it must have at least 5 owners in the league, must not be associated to a movie franchise, and must not be a licensed sports game.  Also, no more than 33% of gamers owning the game can have the game completed (indicating it is easy to complete).

Platinums are a fruitful way to get points in the league.  It is pretty easy to get some of the platinums, but others are very tough (I am waiting to see how long it takes eNamrah to dethrone or equal Recon1O1 in Dark Souls)....
