By the Numbers: Xbox 360 vs Giant Bomb 2012

No Caption Provided

Happy New Year, duders. It's time once again for a data dump based on achievements. Just like last year, this data is based upon Xbox 360 achievements earned in games released in 2012. It'd be easy to just tell you what the most played and least played games were. But, let's take it a step or two further. What if you wanted to know what the least played game that got a 5-star review? I can tell you that. What if you wanted to know the games that had the highest average number of achievements earned? I can tell you that too. Or what about the most played multiplayer games that never got treated to a TNT? Okay...we're getting a little obscure here, but I can still totally tell you that one.

By my count, there were about 250 Xbox 360 and XBLA games released this year. To create an accurate list of releases, I mainly used Xbox360Achievements.org and added a game to the list whenever they did. I would not be surprised if I missed a few stragglers, so let me know if I did. There's also a few games that never had their achievements integrated into the site here, so I took them out of the data for now.

After last year, some people asked about doing Steam and PSN achievements. I still haven't done it because it would basically triple the amount of work involved, and while I enjoy doing these, that's a little too crazy for one guy. I kind of wish I had though since the achievement tracker is going away with the new site. So, this may be the very last time you see achievement data like this at least for a long time.

Onto the numbers!

Top 20 Most Played Games (Overall)

Shepard.

No separation between retail, XBLA, or Kinect here. Mash all that green, orange, and purple together! This is just straight up the most played games on Xbox 360 in terms of unique users. This is also the only list with more than 10 entries, just because I though 11-20 were pretty interesting.

  1. Mass Effect 3 -- 11,523

  3. Fez -- 7960
  4. Borderlands 2 -- 7174

Root what now?

This category is a little skewed because a few of these never came out in North America. But, hey, they're in the tracker and we've got a sizable amount of non-North Americans on the site anyway. Also, no separation between retail, XBLA, or Kinect here. These are simply the most neglected games of the year on Xbox 360 by the Giant Bomb community.

  1. Root Double: Before Crime * After Days -- 0
  2. Phantom of Inferno -- 0

The best...around.

While combing through achievement pages, I began to realize there's a ton of registered users that seemingly only registered to track their achievements. Many have no posts or wiki points. So, while looking at some the rarest achievements earned in 2012, I plucked out some active (or at least semi-active) users to highlight for their feats of greatness.

Random Observations Made While Tabulating Data

  • Seven games got TWO Quick Looks: Borderlands 2, Mark of the Ninja, Pid, Sleeping Dogs, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Trials Evolution, and XCOM Enemy Unknown.
  • Two games got two TNT's: Syndicate and Trials Evolution.
  • One person bought all the items in Scarygirl.
  • Two people earned all the medals in Puddle.
  • 21.68% of those who played Soulcalibur V never cleared Episode 1 in the story mode.
  • 414 people (3.6%) who started Mass Effect 3 never returned to active duty (the first achievement). Guess they can't complain about the ending.
  • Over 1000 people (8.9%) have endured Mass Effect 3 on Insanity.
  • Only 6 people have S-Ranked Street Fighter X Tekken.
  • 3.4% of Shoot Many Robots players never killed 100 robots. Way to follow directions, guys.
  • Armored Core V has eight different versions you could S-Rank.
  • 1.3% of people are good at blowing up dogs.
  • Somehow, three whole people S-Ranked the atrocity known as South Park: Tenorman's Revenge.
  • 234 people never found a single cube shard in Fez.
  • Trials Evolution is quite intimidating. But, did you know 137 people couldn't even pass their first license test.
  • Based on achievements, less people completed Episode 4 than did Episode 5 of The Walking Dead. This was due to a Xbox Live database error that didn't register achievements earned by players within the first 24 hours or so of Episode 4's release.
  • Roughly 20 people who played it S-Ranked Men in Black: Alien Crisis. What the hell…
  • There are eleven achievements in Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor that no one has unlocked. Is the game so broken that you can't actually get them?
  • Five masochistic individuals have completed Spelunky without collecting any treasures.
  • Sixteen people started Quantum Conundrum but never actually picked up the IDS device. Puzzles are hard, duders.
  • Over 1000 people entered The Lang Zone and nearly half of them never earned a medal to show for it.
  • Wolfenstein has more players than this years' Madden.
  • 144 people have played more than 300 different songs in Rock Band Blitz.
  • We have 227 True Ninjas on Giant Bomb.
  • CheapAssGamer's is the second best NBA Baller Beats player…in the world?
  • No hockey this year means no one has the will to S-Rank NHL 13.
  • Everyone that started Double Dragon Neon got cursed with a 1-point achievement, but only 87 were able to get the 19-point achievement to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
  • 9.8% of Borderlands 2 players "Did It All" by completing every side mission in the game.
  • No one has S-Ranked Kinect Sesame Street TV and it's all because of Smart Glass.
  • Over 2000 people have played the free-to-play XBLA game known as Happy Wars. But only 32 of them completed every story mission. I wonder if Johnny V is still playing.
  • Only nine people have scored 50,000 points while DJ'ing in Intel Discovered.
  • The Super Turbo Turkey Puncher achievement is the most common in Doom 3 BFG Edition.
  • 52 people never even made it to the festival in Forza Horizon. Another 20 never finished a race.
  • 77.17% of Mass Effect 3 players finished the game, which is extremely high compared to other games.
  • Barely a quarter of the people who played Assassin's Creed III got a double assassination with a musket.
  • Over a third of Halo 4 players completed the campaign on Heroic or harder.
  • There are no achievements involving sharks in Far Cry 3. What's even the point?

The Japanese games that no one played should be excluded from the other categories because the math is broken. i.e., Root Double is both the most and least completed game this year: Least because no one got any achievements in it (because no one played it), and most because 100% of the people who played it got 100% of the achievements.

(That said, I did play Phantom of Inferno a few years ago, just not on 360.)

Hey, looks like I'm the first one to get the Dishonored DLC achievements, kind fo funny how easy the main game is but some of those DLC achievements are no joke.

Yeah. It's a kids game so I'm guessing those achievements are just really easy.

Average players per game 775.53, that's a little too on the nose!

@Marino: That requires reading! I don't know how to do that!

But, in all fairness, it was 2013. So, technically it did not receive a quick look in this Data Dump (since it's a 2012 dump)

See the last four posts or so. That's what we've been talking about. ;)

Yeah, I've been somewhat debating whether I should update the data.

I don't think it counts, considering it's the new year.

I don't think I'm gonna change it.

But, if anyone's wondering, if I did remove it, then Major League Baseball 2K12 would get into the top 10 on that list.

This is great. Love it. Lots of counterintuitive stuff, especially in the top 20 list. Nice job :)

@Roger778: Well, it did have a hell of a head start on most of the other games released this year.

Fascinating list, indeed.

Seeing Phantom Breaker on the Least Played list reminds me how annoyed I am that it never actually came out here. SevenSixty has to be one of the worst publishers there is. They've "delayed" the game for over a year now and only bother to state that they currently have no information to give every couple months. It's kind of sweet justice to see one of the 2 titles they actually did bother to release on the Least Played Games that had a Quicklook list.

Really fascinating stats. I was quite surprised to see that Fez and Trials: Evolution beat out the 360 version of Minecraft on this site only because of how that game sold like gangbusters.

@Mento said:

That 2000 monsters achievement in Risen 2 is just horrible. If it wasn't for the 100k miles Tales of Vesperia achievement (which I actually bothered to get, for whatever reason), it would've the poorly-conceived one I saw in 2012. For context, I hit the much more reasonable 500 kills right near the end point, and only a handful of enemies ever respawn in that game. So, yeah, four playthroughs.

Anyway, these are always fun. I like that there's a whole mess of achievements no-one managed to get. Are you following it up with an inaugural (and final) PS3 trophies rundown?

Hats off to you on that one, seriously. Played through Risen 2 once. That was enough for me. ;)

Oh wow. There was a version of Phantom of Inferno released on 360 this year? It's a 10 year old visual novel. Something about girl assasins I think. Crazy. Great job on getting this all together and orgonised. Lose the misc. section too. Hope achievement tracking is not gone from the new site forever.

  • There are eleven achievements in Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor that no one has unlocked. Is the game so broken that you can't actually get them?

Challenge accepted. I'm one of the few people that still liked that game, even with some of the controller mishaps.

At least in short bursts.

Also, most of those are for killing EVERONE. Christ, that'll take a while.

Some things of note that stuck out to me:

1) How the fuck are there FIVE Crash Time games. FIVE!

2) Bummer about Hybrid given that it's XBLA only having 472 registered players. What a unique take on shooting that ultimately didn't get rewarded for it. Sure the launch was a mess, maybe explaining some of the numbers but I sure wish that the ideas from Hybrid live on.

3) 1 person playing Top Hand Rodeo Tour is goddamn hilarious.

Seeing Hybrid at only 400 plays is some special kind of tragic. :(

So many XBLA games are just sort of sent out to die.

I wanted to pick it up during the sale last week, but wasn't sure anyone would be playing.

God I love looking at stats and data for stuff like this. Also, fuck getting the "combo crazy" achievement in Persona 4 Arena. Some of those challenges are insane.
