Just throwing it out there, but on the 360, they do work. Always. Never seen it NOT work
Saints Row for some reason never worked for me.

Maby it was your disc, my friends has them all for that game
And yes, he is one of those D-bag Achievements Whores
I first rented the game, then bought it at a later date, so I know that it wasn't the disc, and I doubt I'd get two faulty discs with the exact same issue. It was just weird, I think that a couple early Achievements worked, but after a while, they just stopped.

And no, I didn't use cheats.


Please clarify yourself, are you saying that resistance and uncharted gave you hard times with achiements? Because those were PS3 only. Just need to know.
I didn't say anything about Uncharted or Resistance, since neither of them have the Trophies set up for them yet.

My conversation with Superjesus here is about the 360's achievements, and how Saints Row didn't work right for me.

Honestly, I don't give two shits about the Trophy system, just as I don't care about Achievements. They don't add anything to the games for me, and their absence on the PS3 up to Wednesday didn't trouble me at all.
I think that Valve got it pretty good on achievements with the Pyro pack. Here's how I would categorize achievements...

1. A few just for playing through a game, so that you have a cool mark of your profiles saying that you have, in fact, completed Assassin's Creed or Dead Rising.
2. A lot based on skill. Better players get marks for achieving so much, like leveling up in Call of Duty 4.
3. Some for random encounters. A little blip for finding a hidden area, or for being patient through an optional side quest, or slapping someone in the face, just to make the humor and satisfaction that much greater.

Valve, for the most part, did a lot of good with their Team Fortress achievements, and as they were tied to unlocking weapons, they had a nice platform of which achievements would come for better players, while many others were possible by spending some time on the class.

Otherwise, I like achievements in games for completing other stuff. Growing up with Zelda, I like collecting everything, and getting a little bit more for spending time in single player would be nice for when I can't hop on XBL. Achievements might make you spend some extra time in a game, or even clue you in on something to do in order to unlock hidden features/endings/items.

With me, im not one of those guys who feels they need to get every achievement in a game, but if i can get a few here and there, i do. I only have 1000/1000 for Hitman Blood Money, and that was more seeing if i could do it than for the points.


Why do I enjoy achiements? Quite simply, they are the "trophy" of my exploits. Like a golden basketball trophy hanging in the cuboard, prime dislpayed in your living room, Achiements represent just what you do in video games and, more importantly, how you get about doing them. What's even better is that some even have a connection with the game in question. Mass Effect for example had achievments that, depending which were achieved, enhanced your characters power, abilities, and even granted you acess to new items. Now that's just a great, extra incentive to unlock them for me.

In superjesus' defense, this time when he told everyone they were wrong, they actually were. (Totally called it being fake.)
You are correct. He did call that the thing was fake...

However, I want to clarify thatI'm not talking about whether he was right or not, but his conduct in doing so, as well as his conduct as a whole.

Fact is, i said it was a fake, totally civil, and i had my fucking head bit off.

And i argue with people, but only with people who are being fucking dumb.

And mabby i don't label every single thing i say with "In My Opinion"
And i won't either, its what im fucking saying, of course its my opinion, i have never once said
"No your opinion is wrong, i am right"
You see, you're already doing it again. Calling the people you argue with "fucking dumb" shows that you care not what their opinion is, and shows exactly how you feel about them in the most prickish of ways. And you are right that you never say "No, your opinion is wrong". Generally you say, "You are fucking wrong. I am right."

See my problem with your conduct? It might be a hassle, but taking the greater part of two seconds to type "in my fucking opinion" would do a world of good for your posts.

Because they are fucking dumb. Iv had someone tell me the PS3 is better because of all the space Blu-Ray provides. When i said that the laser is so slow that most of it has to be repeated twice, and i gave the 20GB's of repeated information as an example, he says "MGS4 NEEDS SO MUCH SPACE BECAUSE ITS THE BEST GAME EVER, AND BLU-RAY IS SOOO MUCH FASTER THAN DVD'S!!!"

Thats called being fucking dumb.

And i challenge you, go out and find a post of mine when i call anyone wrong for stating there opinion.

And again

I WILL NOT POST "In my opinion" every single time i say something, if its the words im putting down, no s**t its my opinion.

Can someone please explain the different between a normal XBOX 360, Pro and the Elite? Does 360 let you play old XBOX games?
Well, when it comes down to it, I dont think there really is a diference between any of them, other than maiby the color. They can use any controller or hard drive, and work the same as far as Im concerned.

And yes, you can play some X-Box games, but only if you have a hard rive, it doesnt work with a memory card, which is where I have a problem crying
Does the MBs or GBs affect the speed of online play? Like if you have the 120 GB, is online play less likely to have lag or something?

They are a unit of measurement for digital data. The more you have the more you can store. 1000MG=1GB

I say the 20GB HDD on the Pro is the minimum, if you intend to download extra content, videos, demo's ect... And if you need to upgrade later you can buy the 120GB HDD later, or just buy the elite straight off and save some money in the long run. Also, the Elite has a falcon chip the others don't, so it cannot get the RROD (well it does, but you restart and its find)

Remember dude, the RRoD is the general hardware failure sign. The Falcon Chipset didn't really do a whole lot to improve the Elite over the Pro.

Another movie that I couldn't watch because of their server problems/lockouts...

Who thought Guitar Hero on the DS was a good idea again?






Because they're <insert obscure term> brilliant...



Have you tried it? I'm curious on how well it worked.

I got it the other day...It takes some getting used to though. It's the only guitar hero I've managed to beat on expert so far. I thought it worked quite well once you actually got used to using the touch screen with the pic (sp?) to strum. It kinda lacks new songs though...There was a few repeats from GH3 out of the 26 songs on there. However there were a few new good additions. That dang last song you get to unlock the uhh..gameboy one...It annoys me, its not hard...just so stupid. (I'm The_X-Factor_CP by the way...I got banned crying )

Yes I have. Its cool. It's like a interactive magazine. The first one has stuff about socom, star wars force unleashed, SC4, and some of stuff. The coolest thign about it is that you get into the Socom beta whenever that is released.

Kind of heard for me to actually recommend it or not. I don't think things like demos or betas should cost users money to get. Seams a little silly to me. Everything else about it is neat. Its a new experience and you probably wont regret getting since it is very cheap. It's weather or not you want to support paid demos/betas

I had some problems with the Controls in Uncharted and plus in the interface.

Plus some of the "Achievements" didn't work at all. ><

I also had problems connecting to the PSN store. And even staying on one match on Resistance.
Welcome to the world of Achievments. The hardest ones almost never work.

Just throwing it out there, but on the 360, they do work. Always. Never seen it NOT work
For me, I've never had that problem, but quite a few people had problems with some of the more time consuming Guitar Hero II achievements (Hendrix Reborn, Lead Guitarist, that bass one...). I am just glad "Racket Lord" worked in Saint's Row...
