Hehe Titanfall news.

I used to follow him when I still had an xbox. Good to see that he finally got to his goal. He didn't even seem like wasteman from what I heard on his podcast.

Saw the title and thought this thread was going to be Wyrdo.

1000 games if he completed them all 100%. Sounds more like a souless chore playing crap games to me. Fair play if you can grind through that many poor games but what a waste of quality gaming time.

Wow, he must have no actual life....

Each to their own but who actually cares that he has a high gamer score?

Buffman · 13 Mar 2014 at 18:48

Impressive "achievement" I guess, but Id have to agree with this:

Wonder how much he's spent on games in that time! :X

Don't see the point in doing the XBox ones, I much proffered the PS3 Trophies.

Ugh, just made the mistake of reading the comments below the article.......just horrible.

ivrytwr3 · 13 Mar 2014 at 18:58

hes gotten the seriously achievements for the gears games like 3 or 4 times and those take probably weeks of online gameplay each just for one 100 pt achievement. also i was looking at his forza 5 achievements and he leveled up like 30 levels in a day, earned like 200 multiplayer medals in a day and also lead for 1000 miles in multiplayer races in a day.

like, wow. I mean like, just, awesome, like.

Haha was waiting for that, don't think I'll ever get close to that.

Odd, there's no real difference apart from how they show you the 'score' and the fact on the PS3 they were just tacked on and seemed to take forever to sync or whatever they did.

It may have changed since the early days as I haven't turned my PS3 on for a long time so my experience may be out of date.

Trophies wouldn't exist if there were no achievements.

Purely because of the Platinum Trophy for getting 100% in a game.

On the XBox you can have a gamerscore of 10,000 and claim you've completed game to a 100% but you might have actually played 5,000 games and got one Achievement in each game. With the PS3 it's 1 Platinum = 1 100% complete game.

A bit off topic but does anyone here have a PS4? Have they fixed the slow and sluggy trophy pops that the PS3 has?

JoeBoi · 14 Mar 2014 at 13:11

They pop instantly now mate, you still have to sync though. :\

I love how people say he has no life. If that's what he enjoys doing then he's enjoying life. No rulebook that says you have to go walking on sunny days and go to the garden centre.

So very true. As long as a person is doing something they enjoy, and it's what they want to do (not what they think they ought to be doing) then it is never a waste of time.

I love to get out and do things as much as possible, but that doesn't mean someone who doesn't is wasting their life.

What would be a waste, is if they had never tried anything, then did years later and realise they much preferred that. So all you can do IMO is try a variety of things and then you know you're doing whatever you enjoy the most.

Anyway...I enjoyed 100% some PS3 games but only ones I loved to death and ones which were known to be extremely hard:
3D Dot Game Hero
Demon's Souls
Wipeout HD

Those are probably the 3 I enjoyed the most.

But then I changed my profile for various reasons and since then I haven't checked a trophy for a single game I've ever played since. (last used blitzwing85 account about 3 years ago i think)

Massively impressed on the 3D Dot Game Hero one, very very under rated game and iirc one trophy was not to die, or get hit for the whole game? I've just purchased it on ebay again now as I never played it enough despite enjoying it.
