Woo Hoo, 950 in Dragon Age 2 and all I care to play it until they fix the DLC and hopefully add some more, then its Rogue time for sure.

Recon, sorry bro, you can still take back third place but you'll have to play it more.  I swear I'm done for the race now unless they patch the DLC before it ends... which would be interesting to say the least as far as the tournament goes.

No worries at all JPL.  I'm not going to challenge for the yearly tourney crown anyway.  As long as there's something in that stat line I'm fine.  Just tortured myself through 140 hrs of Lost Odyssey for 880 pts. There's no way I'm maxing that out.  The last 30 points took forever.  So tedious compared to wrpgs like ME, Fallout etc.  I agree that DA2 combat is more enjoyable than the original.  More my style anyway, but they really rushed the settings and the dialogue options. EA's influence I think.  All the red ink over there is making for some bad decisions. I prefer a more open-world feel.  Glad you enjoyed it bugs and all.  bkinght2k earned that silver.  

I haven't done many crawlers but I really wish I'd played the Dark Alliance series.  I tried for a while to find the other DA2 around here with no luck.  It's backwards comp. but with my luck it would be ass-backwards on the y-axsses.

Anyone here play Crysis 2 yet?

I just got it today.  Very nice graphically, solid shooter gameplay, and pretty cool features (The Nanosuit) to boot.  Way better then Homefront. Crytek did a good job.



I have updated the tournament weekly post with the latest information from xbox.com!



eNamrah noticed this and got his 130 gs for The Exiled Prince already.  I can confirm that if you delete the old dlc and reload the achs will pop even if you completed it previously.  A pleasant surprise.  I expected a long wait.  Link to detailed instructions.  They don't specifically recommend deleting cache this time but I did anyway.  Old habits.

I accidentally Platinum-ed  Pac Man CE DX last night!  That game was just too much fun.

It sorta bums me out, though.  I was playing for fun but in the back of my mind, I was working towards training for some unobtainable Achievement.  Now that I got them all, I don't know if I can go back to just playing for fun.  It's hard to explain.  You guys know what I'm talking about?



@d21lewis. I know excactly what you mean. I played pac-man dx championship and platinumed it in under two hours. I thought it was a better game them the first championship edition but I haven't played dx since. Earlier this week I spent 3 hours on getting the last achievement in the first championship edition wondering all the while why I was playing it instead of the DX edition which I still think is the better game. I got the final achievement and now I am playing neither edition.

Achievements seems to guide me through games. Once I get all the achievements I get a sense that I have done everything the developers wanted me to do and therefore don't return.

Take Avatar Burning Earth as an example... Can anyone (who has it) honestly say they have played through the campaign after the first few minutes when they get the full 1000 GS?



I know exactly what you guys mean.  Achievements can be a double edged sword.  They can prolong a game, or in the case of easy achievements kill any remaining desire to play it regardless of quality.

I would have played both Championship an DX well past what I did only because there felt to be no point to it after that last achievement unlocks.

At the same time there are plenty of games I would have dropped way earlier if it wasn't for earning more achievements.

I traded in Dragon Age 2, I will not be getting the DLC points.  Think I'll wait for there to be enough extra to content to actually warrant a third play through.  Anyone wanting to pass me at this point should have no problem in the race.

I want to get Crysis 2 so bad but I don't know if I can afford it

How much do you think Gamestop would give me for Fallout: New Vegas, and RDR? And I'm almost tempted to sell Bulletstorm even though I haven't played the game for more then an hour.
