I thought the same thing as Ronster when I saw the new comp board.  A couple dozen carefully selected games could get me to 80% if I want it bad enough but for him it would take a dozen or more games maxed out just to add a point.  Not sure who had this as a status comment on TA but I feel like "I'm clawing my way up to 80% completion one crappy game at a time" sometimes.  Crappy isn't exactly right but I'm playing games I really didn't enjoy the first time.  Wish I'd saved my saves.  The guys at 100% must have alt GTags or try stuff out offline?  Think I'll try for 80% of 80 games.



One crappy game at a time indeed Recon buddy............ i can't wait to get back to Rumble Roses XX, Lost Planet, The Darkness and Alone In The Dark just to name 4 of about 20 pain in the backside games i have to re-visit

And then there are the hour grinder, RPG grinder, and multiplayer grinder games...  Luxor 2, Armored Core 4: For Answer, Bejeweled Live WP7, Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Lost Planet 2, FunTown Mahjong, etc.  Where you have to play hundreds (or thousands) of hours to get the complete achievement set.  Some of those are a real treat, even if you are in a boosting scenario...

just be thankful you don't have any of those online achievement heavy sports games that EA shut the servers down to. then it would be impossible.

Not that that explains my sub- 50 % completion stat, but whatever.

Blacks ops is underwhelming... I liked the MW2 multiplayer way better. Story mode is... well, treyarch does a nice job with making "wow" moments, but they have taken out any realism. Everything is ridiculous now. Especially the prison break, it was like some stupid 90's syllvestore stallone movie.

I am gonna play it a bit more later on today, but I am a little disapointed.

I do have them all...  This week I spent a tonne of time on FIFA Street 3 getting the online achievements.  I am gonna have to turn it up a notch for the others by February 8th.

Regarding EA's servers.

In Tiget Woods 06 i played over 650 online matches, there was an achievement for playing 1000 online matches and the TA score for that is HUGEEEEEEEEE.

This was before we all joined TA like, but can you imagine how p*ssed off i was when after 650 plus matches EA decided to close their servers grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Once EA have washed their hands with a game (which happens faster than ever these days) why not keep the online multiplayer aspect open by handing control of that game over to microsoft? that way we would at least be able to continue playing the game online in a P2P capacity.

I know that EA think that they will be able to continue to get away with this, but little by little more and more people will say "enough is enough"

Wow that sucks about Tiger Woods 06.  There is a reason why I avoid sports game like the plague.  I unfortunately played FIFA08 right after I purchased my 360.  Little did I know that I'd soon develop a gamerscore addiction.  I still  need FIFA08's online achievements.

Developers shouldn't be allowed to have online achievements if they intend to shut down a game's servers.

How about this one eNamrah buddy................... i have 960G's for NBA live 06 yeah, i only have one achievement to get, and the most annoying thing is that it would not have took any effort to get it........... you know why? all i had to do was PLAY ONE online game lol, thats right, win, lose or fooking draw....... IT DIDN'T MATTER..... all i had to do was play an online game to 1000 the SOB.

EA really do need knocking down a peg or two, and yes, if they intend to close down servers then don't have online achievements in the first place.

They even fooked me with need for speed undercover, that was a GAURANTEED 1000, but one of there achievements on that game is race day related (ie having to be online on a specifc day of THEIR choosing)

The more i think about it the more p*ssed off i am with EA for screwing up my completion ratio.

The league is up-to-date for this week...

NOTE:  Platinums adjust down again.  I found an error in the SQL code that interprets platinums where it was double counting some games/owners.

No Fable 3 platinum anymore?  MGC shows 32 league members have played it.

BTW I think MGC.net is dead. Morgon the owner hasn't updated the site in nearly 4 months. New DLC isn't being added to games anymore.
