Has anyone here played around much with True Achievements?
My normal Gamerscore is 9,500 but my TA Gamerscore is 11,124. Basically, the harder the achievement, the more points you get.
I found it through someone here that had their TA Gamercard in their sig a long time ago and it's a pretty cool site. It adjusts achievement values based on how hard they are to get, or more specifically, how many registered users that have that game and have that achievement.
So, for instance, with this achievement:
 |
 |
...And You Want to Keep It?Collect a Cursed Artifact. | 20 | (20) | 1.01 |
almost everyone who has played the game got that one so there's virtually no difference. It's ratio is 1.01 so it's worth 20 points.
With this achievement:
 |
 |
SpeedsterComplete a Single Player game of Marathon in 20 minutes or less. | 99 | (25) | 3.96 |
Not a lot of people at all have it so it's worth nearly four times what it's usually worth so I get 99 points instead of 25.
It's a neat site, it has that stuff plus guides on how to get achievements. There's even a list of easy achievement for games you own that you haven't gotten yet.
