How Long Achievements Take

I'll first start by saying I love this website. I got 1/2 of my achievements using your guides and forums for help. I do however suggest you add a score on how hard it is to get these achievements and how long it approximately takes to complete them so people know what the are getting themselves into when, and if, they decide to rent that particular game. Thanks for reading.

We have threads Discussing the easier games along with the harder ones. Also, Most games have an "Achievement Discussion" thread inside of them , where you can look to see what people are saying about the achievements and it'll tell you whether they are hard or not. Lastly we all have common sense, It doesnt take a genius to figure out that some games take really long and some dont just by looking at the achievements.

Good idea, it could help with people who are new to a certian game like Lost Planet or Gears Of War. :woop:

Maybe have polls in the forums for each game for users to vote on:

 

1 - How hard to get the full 1000/200

2 - How time consuming to get the full 1000/200

 

5 options in each poll, ratings 1-5 stars???

 

There is nothing to stop people from starting threads like that. I know some games have similar ones started by members.

 

But this has been discussed before, what may be easy to some people, is hard to others i.e. Driving easy 1k will be hard for me cause I suck at them :p Call it my attention span.

A way anyone can check how easy a game is, is simply to look at the 1000/200 leaderboards. Ok it won't tell you how long a game took to complete but if noone or literally one person is listed as having the 1000 you know it's a tough game (especially given the talented gamers that frequent this site) whereas if there are loads of people listed you know the game is easier to complete as not everyone who played it will specialise in that genre of games.

 

This is'nt to knock your voting idea Concho but realistically everyone will vote differently, I mean I'm stuck on Open Season for god sake :eek:

 

Nice idea, but the only problem there would be that for some games it doesn't accurately represent parts of the game. For example, it might be possible to quickly get 850 or something like that, but not getting the full 1000. So, if the game has noone who got 1000 it might not be a full showing of capabilities here. I would say look at the gamestats on the front page, but that might not have everyone who had played the game. I haven't played some of my games in a few months, so I wouldn't be on the list.

I'm not completely "in-the-know" but I think something like this may be showing up on the site in the near future ;)

Other problem with that idea is that the leaderboards here update slowly and they also don't represent everybody on the forum.

back 2 the original statement, I kind of agree, look at **removed swear word**, they have them rated by difficulty maybe we could do it too, i duno

 

 

While I'm not looking to support copying 'other' sites, I do agree that some type of rating system would be helpful. You gotta remeber, some people here are vets to the achievement system, but many more are just being introduced. If we can help them enjoy this new system, then more power to the site! You might meet some really cool peeps along the way too;)
