30K Milestone - The Long Haul
By jakob187 34 Comments
It has finally happened. The Heavens has aligned themselves with my soul and created a vortex of fucking amazing, ladies and gentlemen.
- Terminator Salvation - Okay, so the 1K on this game may be "easy", but the fact is that you still have to play through the game on the highest difficulty to get it. .....yeah, I couldn't say that with a straight face. Nonetheless, IT'S LEGIT!!!
- Prince of Persia - This game-I-still-can't-enjoy pulled a good 300 points for me.
- Bionic Commando - Playing through on Commando mode, something I'm still proud of, pulled a good 800+ points on my first playthrough. I plan on going back and getting 1K on the game sometime in August.
- John Woo Presents Stranglehold - Not only did it help having a fellow Bomber jump into the multiplayer for some massive amounts of fun (and helping us both realize that only explosive lasers in every residence of America and Africa can stop world hunger), but the single player has kept me entertained for a while. I plan on using the achievement Testikill in the game's $15 DLC (*ugh*) to break 40,000 gamerscore.
- Prototype - The game was fun as Hell...as I expected it would be...but it was also a fruitful game for achievement reaping. Now we have a copy at work, and I plan on 1K'ing that game at some point before the end of the year.
- Red Faction Guerrilla - This game also helped to bring me and two other Bombers closer together, and once StarFoxA gets his 360 back in a non-RRoD state, I'm sure we'll be right back on it. At least I'll have time to catch up to his 80,000XP in the damn game!!! See, StarFoxA? Everything happens for a reason. P.S. - I finally unlocked the Bloody Bat. I'm a happy camper. = D
- F.E.A.R. 2 - This freaky little trip from Alma taught me two things: never trust the intentions of a crazy bitch that can use telesthetic powers...and multiplayer can be TOUGH AS NAILS!!!
- Condemned: Criminal Origins - Having never played this gem before...and luckily acquiring it for a cool $10, I found myself falling in love with the maddening craziness of it all...as well as the fact that Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman on Heroes) does the voice for Ethan Thomas. I won't play the second game just quite yet, as I've heard that it's tainted with shittiness. The only thing that pissed me off about this game? DAMN NEAR EVERY ACHIEVEMENT IS A SECRET ACHIEVEMENT!!! GRRR!!!
- Oblivion - It's been a cool 370 points so far, and I plan on also FC'ing this game next month...especially since I now have Shivering Isles.
- Far Cry 2 - It's not many points right now, but the time that I've spent with the game has been worthwhile and enjoyable. It definitely got a bad rep coming out of the gate, as it's now a very solid game after some much needed patching.
- Too Human - I've decided that the game is a hidden gem. Silicon Knights has always made games that felt very unfinished but still seemed pretty fucking awesome. Too Human is no exception. Maybe it's just because Baldur looks more and more like a badass as my playtime increases. = D Also, it's going to be a BITCH to 1K.
As for the next 10K, I plan on working hard on completion of certain games, like Bionic Commando and Oblivion. I would also love to work my ass off to get 1K on Prototype and Red Faction Guerrilla. This will also mark the first time that I'll be purchasing any type of Arcade games that don't come on a compilation disc, as I'll be picking up 'Splosion Man and Shadow Complex soon enough. I'm also looking to fulfill what seems like the impossible goal: 1K on Sacred 2. I'll have some impressions up on that game soon enough, as I don't think enough has been (or can be) said about that game.
Needless to say, the trek from 20K to 30K seemed like forever, but now that I'm in my groove, I'm sure that the trek to 40,000 won't be too long. Thanks to everyone who has followed along through this 10K, and here's to 10K more.
