Loved the first game. Enjoyed what I played of the 2nd I think I got close to the end. Never played 3. Might give these a go.

It will be a huge time investment, but definitely worth it. I'm still hopelessly addicted to Skyrim:Anniversary Edition, thinking of starting a couple new builds in that game first before I dive back into the ME games.

I just saw this on Game Pass. I never played the first 2, but looks like it could be fun. Might give it a go.

I got a diamond achievement for finishing chapter 12 in Yakuza Like A Dragon. Not alot of people finished the game. I think it's because you need to make 3 million yen to progress the story and level up in a tournament to atleast have a chance against the bosses later on.

The game has 15 chapters.

I swear achievements are f***ed. Every single achievement I have in Halo is a diamond achievement.

Yeah, but it might be a sign of the times with gaming on Xbox game pass or gamers in general. I see more gamers just give up when they can't win instantly in multiplayer games as well. Weak sauce..or side-character complex I like to call it.

Yeah. Even in games not in GP or not F2P the amount completing them seems low.

When you consider diamond only count for those with less than 10% completion it is a bit perplexing.
 
Sounds like that is dead.
Well this article is from 2021. Here is what led me to believe it might still be in process:

In previous interviews, former Xbox CVP Mike Ybarra expressed to us a desire to change up the Xbox achievement system, noting that gamers diverse playstyles aren't necessarily being rewarded in the current system. "As more people come into gaming around the globe, we need to have a service that recognizes and makes heroes of people for their style and their diverse ways of gaming," Ybarra said. "That's absolutely something we're looking at." Mike Ybarra is now at Blizzard Entertainment, but many of those who worked on the patented "career mode" are likely still part of Microsoft's Xbox platform team.

Nah. That is dead. Been 4 years now and nothing.
 
Holy crap, The Outer Worlds RPG is fantastic. I never played New Vegas so I was surprised at just how much this feels like a Fallout game (without the bugs). I'm only about 7 hours in so far but its been a lot of fun to play. You're presented with some tough choices early on and I've already managed to piss someone off, lol.

I still may get the steam version as all my saves and progression are tied to Steam but I'm temped to start over again on xbox.

This has been on my to play list since it launched, I downloaded it a few weeks back, but haven't started it yet. On the subject of bugs, ironically New Vegas is probably the most buggy and broken game I ever played, so it's good to hear Obsidian are more reliable these days. I'm still addicted to the new Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, so it may be a bit more a wait until I start.

Skyrim has to be one of the most replayed games in gaming history. :wink:

Unlike Skyrim the Outer Worlds is a relatively short game. To do everything you looking at like 40-50 hours.
