Got the full 1,000 on Red Dead Redemption.

Michael on Fallout 3 just make sure you have a save with good karma right before the rank achievements, then its easy to do bad things to get it to neutral and then rank up, then do it again for evil. Saves playing it through again! I got all my achievements on one play-through of Fallout 3.

That was my plan, but I screwed up. So I'll have to do another play through playing as Neutral and do it for bad. I screwed this up a year ago and gave up playing it, figured I'd go in and finish the first play through snagging everything including the DLC stuff, then do a quick (hoping 10-15) play through to snag the 6 achievements I'll have left.

How'd you rate Red Dead on difficulty for the 1000 and length?

[GameOverRob]

Difficulty is easy, full thousand took me about 90 hours

[neoadorable]

Michael? heh heh never would have had you pegged for a Mike. Good to know! But Ben 10? i mean i told you i wanted you to stay ahead on the leaderboard, but seriously, BEN 10?!

And where's PabUK? He needs to add the fresh recruits, we need the beef for the grinder in time for the holidays muhahahaha.

It's Michael not Mike. :p

Hey man, Ben 10 actually has been one of the better "easy 1000" games I've played. It's kinda of enjoyable (once you get the grinding out of the way). Only downside is the levels are super long. I got this and Brave: A Warrior's Tale to go through this weekend. Though dunno how much I'll get done, seeing as I'm working all weekend. Wanted to get both knocked out of the way.

[GameOverRob]

Hit 87,000 thanks to Mass Effect 2!

[neoadorable]

wowwow Rob, that was a 1000 point week, not bad.

OK Michael, what kind of game is Ben 10? How long is it? Might consider it, the show isn't that bad, watched it with the nephew quite regularly and it was good for fun and laughs. BTW Alpha Protocol is a pretty cool game, but not great for pointage.

It's one of the better family games. You can get 620gs with a littler over/under an hour worth of grinding on the first level. Follow the collectible guide for levels 1-6 and then beat the last two and you have the full 1k. Only downside is that the levels are long. It should be a 5-10 hour game. Just depends on how fast you rush and if you do rush don't screw up on the puzzles, as with most of 'em if you do screw up you got to start back at the beginning of the puzzle.

Finished Ben 10 putting me at 54654. That makes 29 completed games out of the 100 I've played. Wish that number was higher.\

Brave: Warrior's Tale should be avoided unless you can stand playing games with horrible camera's that in the first two minutes of the tutorial had me wanting to scream. And I guess I could tough it out, if it wasn't for the 48 totems you have to collect along the way. /sigh

[neoadorable]

thanks for the tips, my get into Ben 10...

not sure how you guys got 1000/1000 in Red Dead, been playing forever and have like a hunnert points in that one...not trying to the achieves but it seems like not that kind of title. And 29 completed games out of a hundred is damn impressive, i've played more than that and only have two 100% achievements completed!

[GameOverRob]

Your ratio of completed games is better than mine which is only 34/179

[neoadorable]

both you and slane have good unlock ratios...20 to 40 percent is good in my book. look at my paltry unlock rate....

[Slane]

So with the combined efforts of HP: HBP and Fallout 3, I'm rolled over 56k. :)

I'm "done" with Fallout 3 now. Just got to go do a mope up to snag those last two(4) karma achievements, which while doing DLC, shouldn't take that long (5 hours max I'm thinking).

Anyone who plans to play HP:HBP for points, it's fairly easy and story mode is straight foward (Select is your friend), once you beat the game you have Free Roam where you can collect all crests and do all the club achievements. I'd suggest though getting as many mini-crests as you can, while playing story mode (you need 25,000 of 'em), so afterwards you only need to follow one of the several guides (video and written) to snag the other 125 crests and good luck on those damn quidditch achievements.

[neoadorable]

took me a while to figure out what heck HP:HBP was. thank goodness for gamercards! so...time to call your goals for the remainder of the year. hopefully will be at 62K by midnight, Dec 31. hopefully, if all goes well!

I'm shooting for 7500k by my birthday of August 11th. I'm 39.1% to that. Don't think I'll get it, but meh. I'll just change it for end of the year. Gotta love the goal section on TA.

And time to start playing PC Fallout 3 for an additional 1550 GS. Using all the cheats on PC version gonna make this time a breeze. And apprantly you can just type in "addachievement 01" up to 53 to snag 'em all in like 30 seconds, which is perfectly legit and becomes the easiest game to max. Only avatar is easier, since you have to type to snag all Fallout 3 ones.

[GameOverRob]

I want 100k by year end!

[Slane]

I'm going to make my goal(s) the following:

40 Completed Games (Retail and Arcade)

75000k Gamerscore

Lofty indeed.

[neoadorable]

hahaha that's going to be a tough one even for you slane...that's 20K in six months. you've only gained like 4K the last three let me remind you...

you too Rob, not sure that's doable. and what's going on with the silent majority out there? and where's our illustrious leader PabUK, there's people waiting to be added? don't forsake us!

[Slane]

30 completed games. Finished HP:HBP. Those damn Quidditch achievements were a pain. Worse than running around getting 25,000 mini-crests and 125 crests.

Gamefly sent me TMNT in, so I can re-play that and hope the final boss doesn't glitch on me again so I can snag the last achievement in it and have another game completed.

Also moved ahead of Rookas to put me into 12th on MGC leaderboard. :) Shouldn't be to long before I break the top 10. :)

[Neowinian]

I would be 15th on this list but I cannot be bothered to sign up on that site. Some impressive gamerscores though. Good work Neowinian's

[neoadorable]

come on breakeven, just sign up already. we need every point we can get! you can also drop PabUK a line and he'll just add you to the MGC leaderboard.

slane, passing Rookas was easy for you...the guy has become a total MW2 head, i think that's all he plays anymore. no points in that one!

[Slane]

Finished the 5 easy (though annoying-ish) achievements in MLB 2k6. Putting me at 57540!

Putting me into 4th place on the TA Leaderboard and still chilling at 12th on MGC.net Leaderboard.

Here's to hoping Gamefly sends me Just Cause 2 or Alan Wake next.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Picked up several sports games from Gamestop for $2-3 each, so I just broke 37K and am on my way to 38K soon enough. Also got my hands on Halo 3: ODST and Fallout 3: GOTY, so I'll finally be able to get the mythic achievements and get 100% again with Fallout 3.

[Rookas]

I play it on occasion, more lately because of the map packs, but that's pretty inaccurate! I've been playing more Blur than anything else lately, and I've finally started getting into Red Dead. I just haven't been going for achievements in anything as I haven't had the time or interest. Between work and band I've been keeping too busy, gaming has gone down in priority for me. I'm still a contender though, I'll at least try to stay in the top 15!

[neoadorable]

rookas and mathachew back on the leaderboard thread? it's the apocalypse, i say! good having you guys back, and good to have an update on your scoring. slane is completely on a roll now, we can't stop him. better rally the troops for a comeback...but i'm like you rookas, have not been aiming for chievos even though gaming on a daily basis. most of the games so far this year have not been big scorers.

and yes there are other distractions in life, but as long as we all stick together more or less, i'm happy!

hey slane, MLB 2K6? dude, have standards for pete's sake!

[Slane]

hey slane, MLB 2K6? dude, have standards for pete's sake!

I'll get some standards here shortly. Passing Pispab on TA going to be hard. Man plays some very time-consuming games and 1k them.

[neoadorable]

Well made it to 54K finally...that 53K era seemed to last forever. thanks to RDR it's onto bigger and better things...let's hope i can do 62K by year's end.

slane you're really rocketing up there aren't ya, the top ten guys need to keep an eye on that hot stuff....
