Tried it for the last time. Even a sidemission with turrets in it as objectives, shot 20 and completed the mission. Know how many counted? 0… screw this game.

Haven’t had much time the last couple months to really dive into a game. But now that I finally do have free time I decided to go start the Yakuza franchise and work all those achievements. I hear I’m in for a wild ride

Completion #125: BioShock Remastered

  • Estimated Difficulty: 5/10
  • Estimated Time: 20 hours

Another one from the backlog down!

BioShock was my favorite game on the PS3, so I decided to grab the Collection on a sale when I bought my first Xbox in 2018. I only started playing it on April 2019, though, when I progressed through half of the game and stopped. I picked it up again on May 2020, when I finally beat the game and got every other base achievement – with the exception of the collectibles achievement, which bugged on me. I dropped the game again out of frustration.

I finally picked it up again to do a speedrun on New Game Plus while grabbing every collectible. Unfortunately the bugged collectible was only on the final third of the game, but at least the achievement had finally unlocked! Then I took one last breath and decided to tackle the DLC achievements, which for some reason are necessary for the TA completion.

As I said, the original BioShock is one of my favorite games ever. I remember fondly all the lore leading to Dr. Steinman’s fight, including his monologue. Not to mention one of the greatest plot twists in the history of gaming, of course.

But yeah, tackling my backlog has been fun so far! It took me 750 days to complete Shadows of the Damned, and 666 (lol) days to complete BioShock. Now to decide what to play next!

(No screenshots because the game wouldn’t let me take any for some reason.)

Nice! I also have that in my backlog and was hoping to get to it in the next month or so.

I just recently completed the Xbox 360 version, so I’ve been eyeing the remaster. The difference is the challenge room achievements in the remaster. How tough were those?

1 Like

Not that tough. There are fantastic video guides out there that help a lot. The only ones that can give trouble are the speedrun ones, which may require a retry or two until you get the hang of the strategy. Just remember you can save at any time during the challenges!

For the Worlds of Hurt challenge you can start it on Medium difficulty, switch to Easy and then switch back to Medium before saving the Little Sister. To beat it in under 15:00 you just need to use the Crossbow as it OHKO every enemy apart from the Big Daddies, which takes 3 shots (2 if you upgrade the weapon). I didn’t use any Plasmid and only ever bought First Aid Kits and Crossbow Ammo.

I did two playthroughs for Worlds of Hurt. The first one I picked all the Roses and only ever used my Wrench (unlocked 3 out of 4 achievements). The second one I used the Crossbow strategy and beat it in a little under 12 minutes to get the final achievement.

I only did one playthrough for A Shocking turn of Events. I used the speedrun strategy and saved right before rescuing the Little Sister. Then I rescued her (unlocking 2 out of 4 achievements), loaded the save and proceeded to get all the Roses and charging up the Ferris Wheel three more times for the final two achievements.

I don’t remember much of my strategy for The ‘I’ in Team because I played it a year ago :stuck_out_tongue:

Cool. I’ll probably worry about the campaign stuff first and then see about the challenge rooms. I’ve been on a big BioShock kick this month-- in addition to completing 1, I just played through the campaign of Infinite on XB1. I want to go through and mop up the collectibles in that game-- both versions. :slight_smile:

I was looking through my backlog to choose a racing game to complete. I took a look at the Burnout Paradise achievement list and it’s very, very different from the PS3 list which I had platinumed on the PS3… and it even seems to be a worse completion?

I’m downloading Project Cars 2 aswell. I dropped the game at 400g back in April. @FairyEmpire are you interested in boosting the achievements in this game?

Sure, why not? I had a good time with it but I also dropped it in favor of other titles.

Not sure I’m going to get through the Falconeer. I kind of don’t like this game and I just spent 10 minutes trying to “lift” a quest objective out of the water before realizing the game was bugged. Flew home and back and it lifted on the first try. Does the game get better? It’s incredibly boring so far.

Awesome!

I downloaded the game and I’m learning how to play again. But it seems like that ever since I last played a new method for solo boosting the grindiest achievement has been discovered! There are a couple of easier multiplayer achievements that would still need a partner, though. I’ll let you know!

I really don’t know what’s happening. I accepted your invite and I received the following confirmation as always:

You have successfully added replicant2097 to the leaderboard “XboxEra leaderboard”.

But when I go check the leaderboards you are still missing. Maybe you have some privacy settings activated? I don’t really know.

I tried to invite you again to the leaderboard and got the following error:

There are some problems with the values entered:
You already have an identical request still to be handled by this gamer

It is definitely not a game for everyone. It has some cool moments later on, but it is mostly the same as the beginning. It got better for me only when I got the hang of its mechanics.


On a side note, Epic Games is adding a Platinum Trophy equivalent to its launcher called “Epic”. Oh how I wish Microsoft would do the same…

What I wouldn’t give for Xbox to finally have at least a completions tracker on our accounts…

They could even call them “Legends” or something else as a nudge towards Halo/Xbox/whatever.

I FINALLY DID IT! Got that last bugged, glitched, crap son of a b**** achievement in The Falconeer at last!

I had done all of the other achievements in the game, very annoyed to end on a 970/1000 and having spent way too much time trying to get it to work. Was about to log out and lick my wounds waiting for a patch or something. Then I said to myself “just one more time, then you can delete it”, said and done I set out on my final flight in the game. Did it the same way I’ve done it countless other times, return to base to hand it in, not really paying attention and then I hear that sweet, sweet diamond sound go off! I’m pretty sure I woke up my neighbours because I might have gotten a bit excited :wink:

I don’t know how I feel about the game tbh, the glitched achievements kind of soured me a bit on it. The flying is excellent once you understand all the intricate details about it, you have to feel it sort of. Once that clicks though it’s great. Dogfighting is also great if you are into that! It’s very repetitive though, and outside of the flying there is not much depth in missions or the world. The story was decent, but a bit samey in the gameplay. Graphics and sound is very nice though, so it’s a rather pleasant experience.

The spiritual follow-up to Crazy Taxi is out now :slight_smile: 1000G’d over the course of the weekend and last night. The skill-based achievements are far less demanding than you’d think (though 3 minutes in Pro mode requires you a decent amount of orientation, since you no longer get the arrow pointing out where to go), but I’m pretty proud that I managed to find some of the most elusive items and characters without the use of a guide that didn’t even exist as of last night.

It’s a pretty fun game, all in all! It’s a bit on the janky side of things and it doesn’t have the obscene speed and gnarly soundtrack of the Crazy Taxi games, but while rather unoriginal I still had a great time blasting through the cartoony streets of New York. The addition of jumping brings a whole new level of verticality to the city, and adds various hours of open world gameplay if high score chasing isn’t enough for you. Good game, certainly seems to be Lion Castle’s best one so far.
