o0EVIL0o x360a Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So I looked at what the Pants Party wrote on the announcement for DLC. It says two of the achievements for obtaining the two bodyguards have been changed. Before you had to do some stiff requirements in survival mode to get them, now it says you need to hire them in the original and hire an additional person??

FroBoy11 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 GOOD! Man, getting Kojiro was almost impossible because I couldn't beat Musashi in survival mode to save my life. I'd get close, but I could never get it done. So I'll actually be able to finish this game off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 No, the achievement now states you need him AND a person from the expansion. I'm guessing the person in the expansion will be just about as hard to get as he was in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0EVIL0o x360a Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 As you stated before Pants, it appears that we can only attain 950 without the DLC at this point. For some god unknown reason they've actually changed two of the original achievements and they happen to be the two I didn't unlock yet!! So unless I get the DLC, I'll never be able to get those two achievements. So how do we officially find out if this is against the M$ terms of service that games MUST have 1000 achievement points for FREE (No DLC counted) If this is confusing, sorry for that. This is a pretty confusing matter. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucent Beam Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If you get rid of the update, will you will be able to unlock those two achievements without the DLC? That's pretty messed up of them to change it so you have to pay more for the original 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0EVIL0o x360a Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 No, I don't think it would change it. Go to your xbox.com and login and then "view games" You will notice your game has changed to Samurai Warriors 2 XL and those two achievements have already been changed as well.

Lucent Beam Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 There's got to be some way to still be able to get them... man, this is really lame. I thought I could pretty easily 1000 this game.. but I'm not buying that DLC... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can get it done with him at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucent Beam Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Actually, by getting rid of the update, my Xbox now shows the achievements with their old wording (and without the new one) whereas it shows the new achievements on Xbox.com. So, this would lead me to believe that the achievement is not changed if you clear your cache.. I'm going to try to get it and see what happens.

SamuraiLegend X Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 until you download the sw2xl for 2400 points once you get kojiro/katsuie you get there respected achievements:woop: but a hint for unlock them would be to get to lv 75 when u have the interm save go to options then save on new and congrats you have to files on lv 75 of survival:locked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to unlock both of them, just one. I'm assuming the reason they changed it was because kojiro and katsuie are both playable characters in the new one, so you can't be playing as someone and have the guard be the same person. I have all the updates and everything, and just got kojiro this morning and still got the achievement. So theres no need to be afraid of being stuck in a 950 point limbo. They also obviously can't take away an achievement and make you re-earn it once you download the DLC. So if you wanna get kojiro or katsuie, it's not too late.

sloppyjoe811 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well thats good because I only have a few achievements left and was about to work on those 2. I didnt want to work on the achievements and have them not work. Thanks for clarifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Sergeant Kozy, I sent you an xbox message. Let me and the rest know if it's now easier to unlock the bodyguards and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saracin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I wonder then, if you don't need to have the DLC to get the achievement, would you be able to get them by getting the two new guys instead of Kojiro and Katsuie? I have Kojiro, but it was so frustrating that I don't even want to do it again. (Running around half dead and panicking is not my idea of fun.) Hey, just went by Gamefaqs to do some research and they say that in XL for PS2 at least that while Survival is the same, those two missions to unlock them are gone and the two new guards are already for sale in the shop. Does anyone know anyone with the Japanese DLC who can confirm if its the same if you have the 360 version? Cause suddenly this content is look great to me just to end my misery of not having the last 25 points!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the DLC allows me to get those last two bodyguard achievements faster, I will be a happy camper. I just rebought the game recently to finish it up so 1250 will look beautiful!!!

sloppyjoe811 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Is there a release date for the new DLC yet? I check almost every day and can't seem to find any info on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracin Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well when it was gonna be sold in stores it was listed as June in the Gamestop computers. And have seen a few people mention a June date, so go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloppyjoe811 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hooray! Its finaly available to dl. Can't wait to try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashande Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Since nobody has pointed it out in this thread yet, it works both ways; if you DL the expansion, you can grab the 50 points easy just by going into the shop and buying the new guys. No need to mess around with survival. Be warned, however; they both cost 6400 gold, so it takes a little bit to get the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloppyjoe811 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Is it just me or did the achievements change back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeker75 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks Ashande for the tip. The guards in XL are the easiest 50G in the game! I already had like 50,000 gold after doing mercenary mode with Kojiro, so I just hired one guard, started an easy map with him, and did an interim save to unlock one of the achievements. Rinsed and repeated for the second guard. :D Edited February 2, 2012 by neeker75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew14man Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 i wasn't going to download the DLC but now i might after hearing this news about the the achieves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martdude16 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ahh I was going to go back on this to knock off the last 2 achievements, and I dont feel like clearing the updates for all the games, so i'll give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
