My timing in launching this blog was well, poor. Lost my first 360 to the E-74 error on Friday, traded in stuff to Gamestop and got a new one, with their warranty, for $68. Forgot that the arcade units don't have HD compatibility, so for now I'm gaming in standard-def on a HD TV. Which sucks. The incident also killed my motivation for awhile, so no expanded Deadliest Catch review, don't worry, I'll be posting up a sneak peek of next Wednesday's review this weekend. It's going to truly be a one of a kind review.
Back to my quest for the Three-Star Oddball badge and the introduction of The Grind. All The Grinds. Here's my current rotation of games:
Virtua Fighter 5 - Boils down to "Beat every single opponent in the entire game." Every estimate I've seen of the time needed for this one is 30 hours. I'm currently at an overall mark of 36% done (I love games that keep track of stats like that for you.)
FarCry 2 (Multiplayer) - Actual game? Not a grind. Online? Oh hell yes. I'm just under 2k points from reaching rank 10. A feat with an amazing trueachievement ratio of 5.18. I've been averaging about 300 points every Team Deathmatch game and 350 for every Deathmatch game(which have no chances for revives, making the Team Deathmatch still a better choice.)
WarTECH: Senko No Ronde - 1000 ranked matches online? Does anything else really have to be said? I'm at 47 right now. Mostly just a matter not being online when my boosting buddy is, which should be fixed now that my life is back to normal.
Dead or Alive Extreme 2 - I REALLY don't need to say anything else. Back to playing this semi-regularly tomorrow.
Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm - Gamefly game, so it has some priority of course, but man, it's so freakin' slow I have trouble actually getting myself to sit down and play it. Victor Delta, the "Crew has all maxed out morale" achievement. Far harder then it sounds because your crew is a bunch of pansies. Even the All Decked Out achievement, which is buying every upgrade for the boat, will take me about 3 more King Crab seasons, or 5 hours in earth terms. Painful, horrible game.
Spectral Force 3 - The newest addition to the high-priority rotation of games. Doesn't count for Oddball, nor are the achievements worth a lot at Trueachievements.com, it is however, an offbeat game that very few people have actually played, which means that I just have to have it. Should be hitting this up starting on Friday. Oh, and it's basically a next-gen Shining Force with far crappier gameplay than the Genesis classic.
Is it really any wonder that my Gamerscore goes up at the speed of a glacier?
