I rage-quitted the final boss at "Lollipop Chainsaw" because I mispressed a button 3 times in a row at a quick time event with an insta-kill on a wrong button.

@adiwan your main motivation for trying the game was a ... Voice actor ?
-
@critialcloudkicker A little bit. Mostly because it's a legitimately good game.
-
@adiwan what platform ? Can you recommend it if I have the hardware ?
-
@critialcloudkicker It's available for XBox 360 and PS3
-
@adiwan Hmm, I had one of those xbox 360's, RROD. 1st generation. You recommended that I toss it, I agreed, so I did. I might just wait for either a flea market opportunity or an emulator/port so I can play it. I've got waaaay too much games and IRL thingies on my plate anyway
-
@critialcloudkicker I'm trying to play more games that I collect. This is the reason why I'm collecting in the first place but it takes time.
-
@adiwan Funny. I did the same thing with Kingdoms of Amalur quite recently. Got all of the achievements to boot ( perfect game ) because I thought I could. And I pulled it off :) Best 5 Euro's I've ever spend for such a great feeling of accomplishment :) ... More games will follow in the future, although not with all achievements ofc, all achievements in super meat boy ( for example ) would be quite cuicidal.
-
@critialcloudkicker I don't hunt for achievements. They are mostly extremely difficult and time consuming. The effect is almost none. I completed only a few games 100%. At some point it feels more like a chore than fun.
-
@adiwan Alllthough... I do not really "collect" games in the same sense you do. I need more flea markets for that :) Still there are still games in my posession that have either not or not even 10 minutes played, yet I still buy more. That's inexcusable capitalist behaviour :(
-
@adiwan "some" games are worth achievement collecting though. But the amount of worthwile games is ever so small. If the word "collecting" becomes "grinding" though, not worth the grind.
-
@critialcloudkicker There are enough games that have the task of killing an insane amount of enemies to get an achievement, which also is needed for the achievement for beating all achievements.
-
@adiwan yeah... Those are just dumb achievements IMHO. In fact Saints Row with the "collect a million / all pieces of xxx" are pretty much borderline in my book. Also there are games that tie in achievements with seasonal events. I have a huge dislike for those 3 antics though. Achievements should not be either giveaway's for doing things normally, or rewarding no-life grinding. That's not achieving anything, that's a 101 course into obsessity ( word ? ).
-
@critialcloudkicker Also a dumb achievement: share this game on facebook. I got a bridge building game from a humble bundle that had such an achievement. I liked the game but not that much.
-
@adiwan Agreed. How about "start a multiplayer game with 2 best friends" or "6 degrees from Cid Meyer" ?
