    I've never come close to an S-rank in a game, and don't really go after achievements much, but somehow after my first playthrough I was only one achievement away from having all of them. The only one I have left to finish is beating the game on NG+. Anyone else find this an easy one to S-rank?

    As a non multiplayer game, it should be easy. I'm on my 2nd play through and am cleaning up easily.

    Yes. Finished up all of the achievements in 18 hours. You can do it faster, but I did a 10 idol run for my second playthrough and took my time on both. Its easily my fav. XBLA game.

    Agreed. For some reason I never really thought about it much until Brad was talking about buying the new OS from apple. How dumb that they can't just charge my card like everyone else! Steam is a breeze by comparison.

    @Nate: Yeah the game is really easy to s-rank. Kind of curious how you got both endings on your first playthrough though, but I guess you just replayed the final level?

    May be an easy S-rank, but it's one hell of a game. Gonna start up my 10 idol run today, challenge incoming!

    Oh yeah. That's what I did, so I guess it wasn't one playthrough technically.

    I haven't quite completed my NG+ yet, so I haven't gotten the s-rank, but yes, this isn't a terribly tough game to do so with. As soon as I complete some more proving grounds and go Who Knows Where with 10 idols I'll finish up the last level and have it. The majority of my S-Ranks are in XBLA games because I play a lot of them and there are also a ton of good ones with fairly easy achievements. 
     
    I've S-Ranked every Double Fine XBLA game pretty easily. They're mostly based around doing everything in the game rather than being very skillful. The same goes for a lot of re-releases of older games as well, like Banjo-Kazooie and Beyond Good & Evil HD. Both Harms Way and Dash of Destruction took about 15 minutes to S-Rank, but I'm guessing it's because the developers realized that easy achievements were the best way to get people to play through those games.

    yeah, easy s rank. Would have loved to have some hard ones like finish half the levels with 8 or more shrines.

    I still have a 20th secret skill to find, and I don't know where the hell it is. That's the only thing keeping me from getting that last achievement.

    Hey everyone.  
     
    By "s-ranked" do you guys mean "got all achievements"?  
     
    Or is there an actual ranking system in the game that I somehow missed? I've completed all of the achievements and then beat the game, bt I saw nothing that showed a rank..... 
     
    I realize that I'm probably just unfamiliar with the lingo, but I want to make sure. I love this game and if there is a rank to achieve, I want it! :)

    Remove and re-add your Steam account to GB. Achievements haven't been pulling through automatically for ages. I hope they fix this soon.

    If you link your gamertag/PSNID/Steam ID to Giantbomb, then GB will show all your games and give you a "rank" on how many of the achievements you've completed. 
     
    Obviously, S-Ranked means all of the achievements around these parts. Using that term somewhere else might get you a raised eyebrow. 
     
    Meanwhile, I really need to look into Bastion some more and maybe I could pick it up.

    I am currently playing Bastion, but my guess is that is a much harder S-Rank on the PC/Steam Version (20 vs. 12 chievos)

    Yea got 200/200 very easily, just playing the game normally pretty much, nothing too difficult or unusual there.  
    Only weird thing is that I didn't get the achievement for actually finishing the game ... then I finished it in new game+ and got the two achievements at the same time. So everything turned out alright in the end.
