Well I think the online gameplay is entirely flawed. The way that pretty much every part of it is geared towards close combat sucks for me. It is nearly impossible to take someone down without needing an execution, and if you do that from afar, the chances of you actually killing them are low as there is likely to be someone else helping them. People also take far too much damage.... and as said in other places, the smoke and chainsaw combination is too effective

Anyway, I have managed to make some progress on the online achievements but it is going to take a long time....

Woot I got the new Banjo today from Amazon! Anyone else? =)

I think my GS is pretty Darn good =]

My girlfriend put an abrupt end to my Gears playing tonight lol.

Thanks for the update Shern and the invites for Geow2.

Kinda surprised how much Gamerscore I got this week, guess Fable 2 was generous lol

If it weren't for my classes I may have placed 2nd or 3rd for Saints Row 2. I'm happy to place in a race after all this time. I don't see myself placing in the Gears 2 race. Maybe I could try for the Banjo one but I'm hooked on the original right now. I can't believe I never played it on my N64.

@Machina

You have quickly become my Gamerscore arch nemesis ;P Ill try my best to keep up!

@those playing Banjo XBLA

When is the official release date? It seems a number of you got the game through pre-order code much earlier than what I think is the official release date - Wed 26.

@Gears 2 addicts

The Race is shaping up to be the most competitive one this year. Youll need to beat the game on Insane and Co-op the whole campaign as well to stand any chance of top 6. For top 3, you will have to get those Multiplayer ones like Wingman, Submission etc.

Also I admit that 2 achievements - the Party like its 1999 and Seriously 2.0 are virtually impossible to get in 4 weeks. (unless you play on average 70 games a day) This will make it a good Plat award to have though.

Damnit… One place outside of point (1) placement. You gotta hate getting 7th.

I doubt you will be able to remove achievements with the NXE coming out on the 19th, but that could make a huge mess for the league. Imagine being able to re-earn achievements. I know you will be able to remove games out of your play history, but that might only be for the games were you have 0 achievements.

We will see in 2 days I guess.

@Eagleseye, gamefaqs has it listed at 11/26 and the xbl arcade version is supposed to release 2 weeks after Nuts and Bolts which would be the 25th so around that timeframe.

Crap they stole everyone's avatar...

Wow...I just realized that!
