Dammit! How could you tell them that!

and this is why i love having a modded xbox ;)

dude im ao renting this. know any other games with easy achevements?

Sweet.

It's more interesting to me that a person had to actually play this game to find this all out.

Actually, this is genius. Get the achievements out of the way, so that the people can play the game (if they wish) as its supposed to be played. Achievements guide the way the players experience games in ways that may not be the most creative/fulfilling and really only reinforces one game mechanic -- the reward system. "Complete this task and get rewarded" is the only thing going on. How can gamers expect the medium to be taken as a serious artform when we're happily stuck completing menial tasks for enjoyment. It's hard to create compelling narrative and affecting gameplay when we're stuck in the "do this for a prize!" mindset. That's how you train dogs.

Of course, some games benefit from it -- games that a pure enjoyment. But games that aspire to some higher calling (not this one, obviously) are lessened by achievements.

I did know about it, although I don't find your opinion (though degrading) out of place.

Well, while I do appreciate letting everyone know something cool or important, my personal preference is to avoid reposting information from the same source (this site). Not like he's stealing information or anything. It just seem unecessary, especially THREE hours after someone else already did, just to make it more generally known, in a sense of justice. But I digress, I won't go into a flamewar about my preferences on the internet, especially since this has no relation to the topic at hand (which is truly lulztastic)

I apologize CTZ, you're cool and all in your efforts, it was probably my fault for posting the link to give the wrong impression.

The front page goes to a far greater viewer ship and not everyone on the staff reads everything on the C-Blogs.

i kinda want to play this game now, and ot because of the achievements either

Fucking awesome

Another one for the achievement zombies.

The only time that I strive to get everything is when it's parts of the story, like scanning in Metroid Prime or talking to people in RPGs. I do it so I get the fully story. Though it is a very nice feeling when an achievement pops up at the bottom of the screen, it also takes me out of the experience.

Then people would know I played Avatar. Pass.

I'm a 360 Achievements whore and even I think this is a disgusting display of laziness. Do not want!

wow that game looks amazing i can realy see where the next gen is going:P. and how the hell can guards increse their numbers.

I prefer achievements that are somewhat challenging. Ya know, for bragging rights.

I may be a score whore, but I still have that... screw it, I'm gonna go rent it after work.

No, really. I'm proud of myself for pulling away from my 360 and achievements to play Super Mario Galaxy. Hopefully, I stick with it long enough to get the 121st star... maybe not, I still need to finish up Half-Life before Mass Effect...

I still refuse to play this crap.

man! i need to buy three or four of these games so i can get that many more points LOLOLOL! wait..thats NOT how it works? what am i going to do with the 8 king kong games i just bought? *sadface*

The CSI game has easy achievement points. I'm sure by now there are guides for it, just beat the game and you'll get 1000 points.

I'm so happy there is a Family Video near me, with my half off membership I'll only have to pay $1 to rent it for one night.

All together now: LOL.

GUARDS, INCREASE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT NUMBERS!

Wow....

Yeah, I don't really get the whole achievement whoring thing. I mean, if it's not actually fun getting the achievement, what's the point in getting it? I've got nothing particularly against said whores, but I think they'd save money by just playing WoW. At least there the pointless achievements net you in-game bonuses.

Just for the record, avatar is a really, really good cartoon(definitely the best non-adult-swim since invader zim), and it's a damn shame the game almost certainly sucks ass.

I thought that achievements had to be approved by Microsoft specifically to prevent games from adding super easy achievements to increase sales? Is this not true?

omg wow lol
if i had an xbox... if d-toid would give me one...
