This makes me wish there was more "GFWL" games, most especially for multi-platform titles. Only to show that I have played plenty more than the paltry list on my profile. Folks who prefer to play on their PC are getting the short end on this kind of stuff with the exception of WoW. What makes it worst is the sweet taste of achievements from games like Dawn of War II. I understand though, if Giant Bomb could include everybody they would! Just ouch for PS3/PSN stuff not having the same level of access.
I look forward to Steam getting added, and other future updates (your competing with GamerDNA and Raptr now right? haha) Thank you for the new content, it really is great work. Best of luck to the devs!
Your Personalized Points Report
That really is a cool feature. Amazing how a site that's been up not even 2 years old is already doing stuff beyond the major sites out there like GS and IGN.
I've managed to marry my profile to my Gamer Tag and it's showing up on my profile, with the avatar loaded as well, but it's not displaying any of my games or points. I've logged onto my Xbox to see if that would activate it but nothing. Help?
I have been waiting for 12 hours. I understand the backup will everyone wanting to get in at once. But, can we have an update on how may people have signed up and how far along the process is? I am just excited to see my progress. I understand that I have played a ton of 360 games and this most likely would make the process take longer. Keep up the great work.
I dont understand the API PS3 issue.There are 3rd party programs that take the data...like ps3trophycard.com and put it on a different card but the same trophy data.And if the points comparison is a problem then you dont understand the system of trophies (Bronze is 15 points,Silver 30,gold 60 or 90 platinum 180).
yeahhh, Sony really needs to pick up the pace on this one, this cant be that hard of a thing for them to do, they obviously hae a database where everyones trophy info is stored.
"Is everyone else hours off still from being processed? I submitted mine last night at around 1am or so."They've found my profile, but they've been calculating my achievements since 2:30 last night... more like 15 hours than 1... I even turned on my 360 in hopes that it would speed it up somehow, but...
How long is this thing going to take? It's been 13 hours since I synched everything, but it's still calculating...
This feature has proven to me what I already knew. Don't really care much for achievements. But damn it if this grading system you evil genuises have come up with won't make me.
This sounds great, I think this is a great addition to the site.
OH btw my account has been found, however, I don't know if it's calculating my score or not (I don't know how to tell), it sais I have 0 acheivements, can someone help me?
It hasn't found my avatar either...but I don't know if it's supposed to.
Aaaaaaargh! I only have a PS3. Oh well, this is still an awesome idea and I'm glad Giant Bomb is doing it first. I hope Sony gets it together so I can enter my measly trophy collection into the system. How about points for uploading completed Gamecube and Playstation saves? No? Ahhhh....never hurts to ask. lol
I understand that you guys don't work 24/7 but come on! I really want to check this stuff out!
When you guys can intergrate this with our PSN accounts I'll be there. Others will be square.
It really is crazy how great this site is. No im serious, it makes no sense..... how dare something go well above the bare minimum requirements and excell through integrity of journalism, pure creativity and a great sense of humour.
Bah - its no use! Obviously I need to except that the Giant Bomb crew will continue to impress me.
Are there any plans to encorporate kongregate points into the points report? (from kongregate.com)
I know both giantbomb and kongregate are social gaming cites, but I do not think that they are really competing together. Giantbomb is an game infomation cite with a social aspect and Kongregate is a place that where you can post free flash games. Granted most of the games are no good, but the best and strage tend to rise to the top. And these are what are given achievements.
Some of the kongregate are aptly named "Impossible."
Also, I think Quake Live has some sort of acheivement system. Are there any plans to start tracking those achievements when that game is all set?
