Can you guess what this post is about? That's right, more awards! Seriously, I think these are my favorite awards yet.

 

First the achievement tile submission awards just look sharp as hell. The graphics team did a great job on them, and they now extend for 6 tiers just like the guides and road maps and such. We already have one person at Diamond, and I am pretty sure everyone who has been here more than a month can guess who that is without looking.

The Subscribers have been busy coming up with a list of 100 achievements that epitomize the Xbox experience. These are all from region-free retail games that span every genre and include 50 difficult achievements and 50 that are not so much difficult as...quirky. While the list is not quite finalized, here is a sample for you.

 

From the difficult list:

Orb Hunter from Crackdown

Hell Difficulty Mode Cleared from BulletWitch

Elite from Rainbow 6 Vegas

The Bladder of Steel Award from Rock Band 2

Seriously from Gears of War

Achiever from R.U.S.E.

 

From the quirky list:

Hoedown Throwdown from Hannah Montana

One With Combat from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Turd Burglar from Duke Nukem Forever

The Swinger from Fable 2

Testikill from Stranglehold

Romantic from The Darkness

 

Members of the forum who have unlocked a certain number of them will be eligible for the Over Achiever award, pictured below. Frankly, anyone who can get all 100 is a god among gamers. I think I will be lucky to hit the platinum level myself, and that is speaking as someone with 300,000 gamerscore and 300+ completions.

 

Bronze (10 unlocked)

But wait, there's more!

 

I posted last week that Jappe x360a is working on revamping the x360a Representer's program, and as part of that effort the Representers are working on yet another list of achievements! That's right, 100 achievements from arcade games that you would have to be crazy to not try to earn. While that process is just starting, I thought I would go ahead and share the Arcade Crazy awards that will be able to be earned once they finalize the list:

If you want to be involved in that process, head over to the Representer program, sign up, and start voicing your opinion.

 

Did I leave the best for last? Why yes, I do believe I did... Both the Over Achiever and Arcade Crazy lists are going to be available as a checklist for you! You don't want to leave that checklist sitting there all incomplete, do you?

 

Cheers!

Yay! Was that based on my suggestion or had you already thought of it? You sly dog. Bring it on!

 

Pretty sure it was your suggestion. Webb and Rx and I had to have a pow-wow to figure out how to do it without breaking anything, but we got it set up. Just have to finalize that list now...

Just noticed in the achievement tile award tracking forum everyone with a gold award has been "defaulted" to having submitted tiles for 15 games (and other numbers for bronze/silver). So going forward for those of us currently at gold is there a certain number we'll have to submit in order to get the platinum award, or how will that work?

That's a good point, I guess we should go back and default them to 14.

 

Looking back, knowing these new awards were coming out I don't know why the 15 didn't pop out at me as incorrect.

Wow that's awesome, I just looked on the awards page and it looks so good now with all those new goodies.

 

I think soon we should be able to pick which eight awards show up on our profile by default. I can see soon that a lot more people will have over 8 awards and they will favor some awards over the others.

 

Edit: Oh disregard that last paragraph I didn't know the limit is now 12 that show up. Was that updated recently?

I think soon we should be able to pick which six awards show up on our profile by default. I can see soon that a lot more people will have over 6 awards and they will favor some awards over the others.

Good idea, me likes. Post it up in one of the Sub threads. Would be good to discuss!

 

Edit: What if you have more than 12.... Which is becoming more likely due to the recent new ones we're adding.

The new awards look great. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

 

Will you have to count and individually apply for the over achiever ones?

 

Also, if you want someone to make you an excel file of the achievements, where you can highlight the achievements that you have, and it will count them for you, send me a PM, I can put it together in a few minutes. Might make the submission process a lot easier for others, and those verifying the achievements.

I've had more than 12 since 2007. :( I've just lived with the concequences of nobody seeing my first few awards, haha.

 

But the idea to organize them would actually be great.

 

Or at least an auto organizer than bases them off of Tier (Gold, then Silver, etc...)

so the arcade awards will be for certain achievements the site picks or just 50 achievements from arcade games?

 

ones that the representers are discussing at the moment. so it will be a specific set of achievements and if you unlock enough of them ,you will be eligible for the corresponding award.:)

Yes, it will be for certain achievements the site(actually the reps) has picked.

 

Exactly the same way Over Achiever works, just for arcade instead of retail.

 

Edit: Crap, got ninja'd.
