Gamerscore doesn't end in a 0 or a 5

#1 Posted by TheCappuccinoBandit (268 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Hey does anyone know a Xbox 360 game that gives an achievement worth either 3Gs or 8Gs? 

#2 Posted by get2sammyb (6413 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

May I ask why?

#3 Posted by albedos_shadow (1485 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I think Half-Life 2 on the Orange Box has a couple odd-numbered achievements, and so does Super Puzzle Fighter.

#4 Posted by ParanoidFreak (1461 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Mortal Kombat 3 had a couple achievements like that.

#5 Posted by TekZero (2585 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Forza 2.  I got one for 2pts. I'm sure it evens out in the end.

Thanks for the info but already played The Orange Box, thats the reason my gamerscore's weird lol. I'll check Super Puzzle Fighter out though.

 Well my gamerscore always ends in either a 2 or a 7 and its kinda annoying and I want it to end in either a 0 or a 5.
#7 Posted by TheHBK (4872 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Lots of games have that, I don't think mine score has been at 0 or 5 for a while now.

Luxor 2 has weird ones. It messed up my score

#9 Posted by Sticky_Pennies (1870 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Eternal Sonata has 321 and 79 point achievements.

If the reason your score is fucked up is because you got the 2 point achievement for playing basketball with D0g, you'll need to get the Vorticough achievement to balance it out. There's a video up on YouTube showing where you can get it.

My gamerscore was 2s and 7s for the longest time.  I didn't notice I was approaching 31337 and passed it.  Probably better that I didn't hit it because I would have wanted to stop there.  Now I'm back to 0's and 5's.

GRAW

I love it when my gamerscore doesn't end in a 5 or a 0. It looks so much cooler than a boring 5 or 0

#14 Posted by Alex_Murphy (1184 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Mine either ends in a 1 or 6 because of some Mortal Kombat achievement and I never felt like going back to do a babality online to even it out.

#15 Posted by iAmJohn (5769 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I wish I could just delete GRAW from my profile.  Stupid fucking score-ruining game.


Watchmen: The End is Nigh has a couple of 8-point achievements.
#16 Posted by twenty0ne (3070 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

You could have just Googled it.

#17 Posted by Shadow (4877 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Forza 2

#18 Posted by Pozer27 (180 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Yep mine is 31 577 .... fucking half life 2 lol

#19 Posted by AdventChild (193 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Civ Rev has some really easy odd points.  I know that Joint Strike: 1942 had two 7G achievements.

#20 Edited by Vinchenzo (6184 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Both great games to fix your score have been listed. (By "great" I mean, good to fix your score. Both suck.)

  • Luxor 2
  • GRAW

Not to sound rude, because I am very rude, but not really. Obviously he could have looked at an achievement website but even then, a majority of games have "even" achievements. It's hard to find those fudged-up ones.

Correct me if you want, feel free, by linking me to a successful Google search.
#22 Posted by JJOR64 (18122 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I now Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 has a 7 point achievement.  I think it also has a 3 pointer, haven't played the game for while to check the list.

#23 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9067 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I think I'd be bummed if my gamer score didn't end in a 0 or 5.

#24 Posted by Lunarbunny (1025 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago


#25 Posted by drewbert (1792 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Civilization Revolution has a bunch of 3-point achievements, and a lot of them can be gained in the first mission.

#26 Posted by Milkman (13979 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I do. It's at 24,318. It's pretty annoying. Mortal Kombat 3 is what screwed mine up.

#27 Posted by RedSox8933 (2410 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

my last digit is always either 6 or 1 now, i have no idea why.

#28 Posted by RHCPfan24 (8608 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai I believe has almost all non-0 or 5 achievements. That should be fun for OCD achievement whores, haha.

#29 Posted by FiestaUnicorn (1549 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

UMK 3 and the first GRAW have some.

#30 Posted by jakob187 (20661 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Civilization Revolution houses the easiest achievements to get that don't end in 0 or 5.

#31 Posted by Vinchenzo (6184 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Truth be told, just get another odd achievement in Orange Box, like HandsomeDead said. Why start another game when chances are you might not even get the desired achievement.

#32 Posted by brundlefly (70 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

Sonic the Hedgehog XBLA has a few 7 pointers.

Yeah, that is a big one. Forza 2 comes to mind. Blitz: The League had several achievements that were worth like 6 achievement points.
#34 Posted by RandomHero666 (2980 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

I have 4463 thanks to The Orange Box and Forza 2, Forza 2 has a couple of 1gp achievements in there, like.. buy all cars from a certain country.

#35 Posted by Gamer_152 (13243 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago

My gamerscore always ends in a 2 or a 7 (I like it, it's unique) because of the Two Point achievement on Half-Life 2 on The Orange Box. If you have the game it's a pretty easy and even a pretty fun achievement to get.

#37 Posted by The_A_Drain (3910 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago

I went ballistic when my score went out of whack thanks to WoTB Commando 3, I was going insane trying to get the others but I just couldnt. Then I fucked it up with some football game by accident, and in the end, had to buy UMK3 and get all but the last online wins achievement in order to balance it back out.


God I hate odd numbered achieves GRRRRR *nerdrage*
#38 Edited by Hitchenson (4580 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago

I had a non 0/5 at the end of my gamerscore for about a year. In the end it drove me insane, so I bought Mortal Kombat 3 off of XBLA. Got the 2 hit combo achievement, fixed my gamerscore. Never played that game again.


I wish there was some kind of rule where achievements have to end in a 0/5...
#39 Posted by Suicrat (3731 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago
@get2sammyb: Mortal Kombat 3 is the reason why my score ends in a 3 or an 8 (depending on my most recent achievement.)
#40 Edited by Bass (684 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago
@Fudge_Wirlwind: Well if you get the other odd-point achievement in The Orange Box, it won't be odd anymore. There is one 2-point achievement and one 8 point achievement in the game. If you get both, you would even it out.
#41 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9067 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago

As of yesterday, my gamerscore is no longer divisible by 5. UMK3 has thrown it off course, but I intend to get all the achievements in that game to remedy the problem.

#42 Posted by TheCappuccinoBandit (268 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago
@Bass: I did just that and now my gamerscore is untainted! As you can see.....
