wow another buy for me all i can hope for is that it isnt as short as lost in nightmares was, i think it took me and my buddy 5 mins to do on veteran, all i hope is that this one is at least longer but all the same a huge RE fan here a definite buyWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:20 AM
Awww gutted, I'll hold off playing till it is fixed, hopefully it will be a very quick fix like the Fallout 3 DLC was, didn't they fix F3 the same day?? I know it was very fast. Regardles the reviews for DE seem decent enough which is good :-)Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:21 AM
... im sad.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:24 AM
. . . the wait for the gold edition continues . . .Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:24 AM
damm, ive already got three of these cheves :(Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:24 AM
Fix the achievements now thanks.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:26 AM
Think I'll wait and pick up the Gold edition since it's only gonna be £25 in Game and I've got around £7.50 on my card. =/ Still, it's going to be good to get some more RE5 :DWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:29 AM
Will wait until it's fixed then. What's the matter with Capcom ? Why don't they add new achievements a couple of days before release like everyone else ?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:33 AM
if ive already got the achievments how can get them properly after theyve fixed it?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:39 AM
Looking forward to getting home tonight and playing this. Hopefully the achievements will be fixed by then.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:40 AM
@ #1 I don't think it took you 5 mins....lolzWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:52 AM
Even if it doesn't have the achievements I'll still buy it. I'm sure they shall be added sooner or later.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:55 AM
#1: one thing is the use of "figures of speech" another is plain exageration.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 10:58 AM
Already bought it, downloading now and I'm gonna play regardless of the achivements, I'll just play again to get them, or download my gamertag, simple enough really.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:05 AM
Just woke up, saw RE5 DLC...good start to the morning. So, it's cool to download it yeah? Just as long as I don't play it yet for the chevos? Recovering my GT takes several hours =/Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:06 AM
wow fail, capcom need to update this quickWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:17 AM
@#4...I'm still waiting too...Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:17 AM
Thumbs up for new DLC. Thumbs down for no achievements.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:20 AM
I played and completed it with a friend and got 3 achievements, they are on my dashboard but not on xbox.com. The DLC is fun as hell (just like all of RE5) and I will be playing it multiple times with multiple friends so I'll be unlocking over and over again.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:26 AM
The game itself is amazing, anyone regard the DLC packages as a must have for RE fans, or are they just a short update like most?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:34 AM
nice, for some reason I thought this was coming out next weekWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 11:45 AM
I downloaded this earlier. But I am gonna wait for the achievements to be fixed first because I hear that Pro difficulty in this DLC is actually pretty damn hard and i'd hate to have to go through it again if the achievement didn't unlock properly.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:08 PM
Damn i really hope they fix this quickly =/Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:12 PM
Worst AI in a game, ever.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:25 PM
Still waiting on this to be fixed.....grrrrrrr.....Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:27 PM
Just finished the DLC and the achievements popped, just they haven't added the 30G I was supposed to get to my score on my dashboard or anything, thought they were fixed for a second, haha. Hopefully be fixed soon at least.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:27 PM
If you get the achievements now they will not be updated to xbox.com when it's fixed. You'll have to delete and recover your gamertag, just fyi for everyone. and 24 is correct. The AI is just frustrating. Team mate AI is terrible and I love how enemies look at me for 30 seconds before deciding they want me dead. You'd think giant bio-mutants would have no qualms squishing...well anyone.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:29 PM
No achievements, no buy.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:32 PM
@28 If you read the newspost and comments, there are achievements but they aren't updating unless you delete and download your gamertag by the looks, prat. @27 Thanks for confirming I'll have to redownload my GT, least I know I'll get my points, haha.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:34 PM
Why are people blaming Capcom? its not them who upload acheevs on XBL it's Microsoft. I just hope it gets sorted fast.. so i can start the DLC @ #24 you obviously havent played that many games... older(80's and 90's) games had terible AIWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:37 PM
@2. I think it was within 24hours, I downloaded Broken Steel and got halfway through before the achievements were fixed.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:41 PM
@ #28 With ppl like u in mind they should put cards out there where u basically get achievement for every dollar spent. So lets say you have $500 and nothing to do with it u go to dashboard pay and pop there goers 500 gamerscore points. LMAO!!!!! Already got the dlc gotta wait for friend to play it tho lolWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:42 PM
I agree with #30 with it being Capcom's fault, I believe this issue on achievements on the xbox.com website is part Microsoft's Final QA/Final Evaluation before a game is released. This wouldn't be the first time MS has goofed on RE 5 DLC, they showed the wrong photo and description for the extra costumes when LIN came out. That did get fixed within a day or two. I hope it does get issued out fast, but seeing how titles in the past have this issue fixed at a far later date. I am not so sure. As for the AI, I haven't played it so I won't judge too badly, it will be disappointing but worst AI ever? I won't hammer down on you with that as I know your just saying it is bad or maybe making a Simpsons reference. If not? Like #30 said, there are other games with worse AI.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:52 PM
Wow I'm glad I didnt download it yet then phew. Desperate Escape huh more like Desperate Update if you ask me.;) I wonder if we can still play with the new costumes without it glitching are gamertags too.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:55 PM
Hurry up and get it Patched for fu#k sake !! I wanna get stuck into the DLC !! lolWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 12:56 PM
@29, no problem! I also forgot to mention you'll have to re-earn the achievements. Lame I know. I had this problem with another piece of DLC. Since then I just wait and make sure they're on xbox.com before going for them. Redownloading the GT is a bit of a pain.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 01:00 PM
Baha! I love how people are refusing to play it because they can't earn achievements off it, you have to play through a few times for all the achievements so why not play it without being able to get the achievements? @36 I don't mind re-earning them, and downloading my GT won't be to bad, although I haven't had to for a long time so I dunno how bad it is now, haha.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 01:08 PM
I'm hoping the next DLC bundle includes more Mercs achievements and features Hunk and either Leon or Claire as playable characters.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 01:12 PM
@38 I wish they would add some merc chevos and more characters too but i'm not counting on it. Gold Edition is suppose to include everything, which means thats all the DLC there will probably be.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 01:29 PM
Better to wait until they fixed it, then. I have no intention of having a potential glitch ruining the achievements.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 01:48 PM
@29 I did read the post, although you're right I didn't read the comments. Perhaps my comment was worded wrongly, what I meant was that I am not going to buy this unless it gets fixed. I am well aware that the achievements are physically possible to get. @32 An achievement for every dollar? No thanks, I just don't like glitchy achievements.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:05 PM
Didn't read this before playing, just got 2 achievements (Complete it, and get 150 kills single handedly) playing solo on Veteran that don't show up :( Good piece of DLC though, really enjoyed it!Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:16 PM
Boo-urns to Capcom. Missing achievements is an old mistake they shouldnt be repeating.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:20 PM
The achievements aren't at xbox.com ...Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:28 PM
Looks like I won't be in a big hurry to download this, anymore. Let us know if you guys get an update, yeah? I'll check back in here later on today. =]Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:32 PM
@41 Fair enough then, thought you hadn't read it and were one of those idiots who dictate whether achievements make you buy the DLC. And I downloaded my profile again and now I can't even look at the achievements I did unlock on my list where I could before, like they've been wiped xD Ah well, no big loss cause I didn't have the points for them, be fun playing through again for them either way. Just hope it's fixed soon.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 02:44 PM
Doesn't matter if it has achievements or not. Still looks OK.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:02 PM
Capcom says they're looking into it. http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/22591365/We_have_a_BIG_Achievement_Glitch_in_RE_5_DE_DLC_Whats_the_Fix I heard this DLC is more shoot 'em up, no real puzzles or anything. Still should be fun but I liked how LiN was personally. Doesn't matter :) I have it bought and will play it when it's up on xbox.com.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:03 PM
Sorry I broke the board :(Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:11 PM
i like Resident evil 5 i have all the DLC but not this one i dont know why but something is giving me the idea that i wont like it, but of course i will get it :)Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:24 PM
:( is all. Hope this gets sorted real soon.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:33 PM
I think its been fixed, the achievements are showing up on my dash and gamercard now, although for some reason their the first 5 achievements for RE5 on my list and have their numbers next to them as if their unlocked, but their still locked. Eh, time to play and see :DWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:41 PM
@46 It's ironic that you say that actually, since I haven't downloaded any DLC which doesn't include achievements. Normally I don't consider buying DLC which doesn't include achievements. Though to be honest if achievements didn't exist there would be very little DLC that I would buy at all. I never played online much before achievements and I only generally play online because of achievements.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:52 PM
@ 37 --> Because if we unlock achievements, and we want to re-earn them after the fix is sorted, those of us with 50k+ Live accounts it can take upto 3 hours (some more) to recover our tags, so no thanks! I'd rather wait, and enjoy it knowing it is 100% working.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 03:55 PM
Hope this is fixed by Friday.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 04:16 PM
I don't get why people will only dowload this if there are achievements. It shouldn't matter. If you like the game then buy it regardless. I wish devolpers would stop making achievements to see who really enjoys their games and not achievements.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 04:28 PM
@56 I do enjoy games, the thing is achievements add very much to that enjoyment. I've always liked going up leaderboards and getting stats higher etc. It's why JRPG's are my favourite genre. It's also why RuneScape is my favourite MMORPG, they have very extensive leaderboards for each stat that I have not seen in any other MMO. It's the same here with achievements. I can either download another game which I enjoy that has achievements or I can download something which I also enjoy that doesn't have achievements. I think I know what I would choose. If achievements didn't exist, the chances are that I would probably still be playing JRPG's most of the time. Achievements have given me the chance to enjoy a wide range of games, some that I wouldn't have ever played if it wasn't for achievemWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 04:31 PM

@ 58 wtf? spam much?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 04:42 PM
This run through should be fun...me and my bro DJ went through the first dlc well with two shots and we got all of them. I wonder if its gonna be easy to get the S rank on pro. like it was in the 1st dlc....huhWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 04:45 PM
Is this out in the uk yet? how much if so?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:02 PM
I unlocked achievements after playing this.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:12 PM
#58 = Retard I thought this was fixed, unlocked the 2 achievements I got earlier, however its done exactly the same as before and added the achievements but not the score, me and a friend just finished it in co-op, it gave us the achievements and score, then they've gone again :/ Ah well, just hope its fixed soon. @54 Yeah, recovering mine earlier took about 10 minutes to do, guess the higher the GS the longer it takes, haha.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:14 PM
It won't be fixed until you log onto xbox.com, go to your game list and see the achievements there :)Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:25 PM
Yeah, checked being hopeful to no avail :( Ah well, I'll just recover my tag tomorrow and wait patiently I suppose. Still, anyone found anything weird about their achievements after finishing it at all? apart from being glitched I mean. Basically, I recovered my tag after getting them the first time around, then finished it earlier, now my list on the dash and GT have the achievements for finishing DE and with an S, then the other 3 all with the locked pictures, but with their scores as if they were unlocked D:Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:33 PM
not buy, til they fix the cheveesWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:34 PM
i stop playing after only getting 2 of these and i will wait it out till this weekend and maybe finish it upWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:46 PM
Looking at the new and detailed character models of Barry and Rebecca, I am wondering the designers are: 1) Perfectionists who want to treat fans 2) Working on some sort of re-imagining of Resident Evil 0 and 1. One can only hope, they will bring it to 360 (with unlockable achievements, obviously).Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 05:59 PM
FUCK YOU MS DONT MAKE US PAY FOR THIS SHIT GET A FUCKING GRIP OF YOU SHITWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:04 PM
# 69 Calm down? Oh ok I'm not buying this until they get it fixed, will wait until I hear achieves are working.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:16 PM
To most people people that r achievement hunters, I can understand playing games that good and worth playing but when I see people playing kid games or just plain suck just because they can get an easy 1000. It's kind of retarded.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:28 PM
68, I seriously hope not another REmake. Last gens was fine. In fact it's still a wonderful game to play, before 5 came out I did a speed run. I want RE2make!Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:31 PM
so are the cheeves fixed?Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:33 PM
mmmmmmaybeWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:42 PM
@73 & 74 Xbox.com isn't updated, so I very much doubt that it's fixed.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 06:52 PM
lol #69, settle down there champWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 07:31 PM
Achievements are fixed. Just unlocked 3 of them. And lordy lordy will Professional be Hell!!!Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 07:33 PM
sorry i was wrong, got the achievements, no gamerscoreWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 08:08 PM
you can get the gamerscore offline play it disconnected from xbox liveWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 08:19 PM
achievements are working fine, earned 3 of them earlier, completion, s rank and 150 kills.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 08:52 PM
1st off its not Microsoft its Capcom blame them not MSWednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 08:53 PM
@80 Read the entire thread. We know they work in game, but they're not on the Xbox website, so when they're finally added online and you game is updated, you'll have to earn them again as according to the Xbox website you won't already have gained them.Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 09:18 PM
Who cares? I don't. It was a metric shit ton of fun!Wednesday, March 03, 2010 @ 09:50 PM
CrapcomThursday, March 04, 2010 @ 02:38 AM
@71 You know, you probably shouldn't say that when your own gamertag also includes crap games that are easy for gamerscore. Unless you were really interested in playing things like King Kong of course.Thursday, March 04, 2010 @ 03:38 AM
Xbox.com still hasn't been updated.Thursday, March 04, 2010 @ 05:02 AM
Sigh....They still haven't been fixed. Come on Capcom, pull your finger out, I was hoping this would be fixed by now.Thursday, March 04, 2010 @ 05:25 AM
I want a Resi4 REmake for the XBox. That would be epic. The game is like 20hrs long!Thursday, March 04, 2010 @ 06:05 AM
------------------------------------------- ACHIEVEMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON XBOX.COM! -------------------------------------------Thursday, March 04, 2010 @ 08:07 AM
yeh when you recover you need to play again to get themThursday, March 04, 2010 @ 11:06 AM
yeah its true, just recover your gamertag and you can save the achievements to your gamerscore...
Wednesday, March 03, 2010
The second piece of story DLC for Resident Evil 5, Desperate Escape, was released today. However, much like Capcom's other blunder (which has still not been fixed) the achievements are not available on xbox.com and thus can not be properly unlocked and added to your gamerscore.
I will make another news post when the achievement list is properly updated (or update this one if it happens sometime today), so until then I would suggest not playing the DLC. However, if you can't wait, it should only be a simple fix of recovering your gamertag once the achievements show up on xbox.com for unlocking. Hopefully.
Regardless, here are what the achievements are (via the dashboard):
