I review the occasional daily Steam Sale game, but only when they capture my interest. (deal with it) I have a job and two kids, so it ain't easy. I buy and try the game at lunch, post my "3 minutes o' playtime" and go back to work. When I get home, I play it for an hour or two if its worth my time, and write a more in-depth review. My review scale is based on price. I tell you how much in my opinion it is worth and how much of a deal it really was to purchase at the sale price. I'm not a fan of games lacking story otherwise known as "life," so that pretty much rules out shmups, puzzles, racers, and fighters, although I have been known to make an acception.
I am however, a massive fan of FPS', Survival Horror and the occasional RPG.

I am primarily a PC gamer obviously, but I do dabble in the PS3. I have disowned the 360 since it RRoD'ed for the 3rd time. It is now sitting on my mantle in shame.

Halo 3 pwned my Achievements...in a very confusing way
Andrew Godsey | 8:39 PM on 10.30.2007 10 comments




2 Weeks ago...

So after 2 wonderful, rage-filled days of Halo 3 both online and off, my achivements stop awarding themselves unto me. I know I deserve them, cause I went to all the trouble to get those bloody skulls, and when I finally get one, I see no pop-up that lets me know I'm one step closer to the Katana.

Soon after noticing this, my system starts to lock up in moments of high-processing necessity. After that, I get the RRoD.

So I send the system in, and swap my HD into a friends XB360. I try to get the easiest skull in the game that I have yet to get, aaaand still no achievement. So then I try it under a different account, and I get the same result.

Regardless, I continued to play Halo 3 online and achieved Officer status. Again I got no Achievement pop-up, BUT when I checked my achievements, I had been awarded the Officer achievement.

Present Day...

Haven't had much of a chance to try it, but I think my Halo 3 saved game is corrupted or something, because the other night I played Worms on my profile and got an achievement.

I just wanna know if any of you other D-toidians are having or have had similar problems.

You need to ask one of the admins to change your name so there is no underscore in it, or else no one will be able to see your blogs.

Some of the skulls don't give achievement points when you pick them up, these are the "silver skulls" which are just there for shits and giggles and do not affect campaign scoring. Are you sure that the skull you picked up was one with an achievement attached to it?

I've had problems getting the single player achievements. I've finished the game on co-op on heroic but I've only got the achievements for up to the Tsavo Highway. I played single-player on normal just to blaze through pretty much, but that's not giving me achievements except for The Storm and The Ark.

Fuckin weird...switching difficulties FTL
