Only Underachieving for 5 Games
May 15, 2008 – 20:51When MyGamerCard released their new feature letting you know how much more or less effort you’ve spent compared to other gamers, I was pretty darned excited. I had been trying to get my gamerscore for each game over the average, now there would be a percentage to go along with it and new sorting options.
At the time I had played 51 games, 42 of those were above average with only 9 classified as underachieving. I’ve been actively trying to get overachieving for all of them and it’s definitely been a challenge.
Today I’m happy to report that I’m down to only 5 out of a total of 65 games. I was right on the fence with Dig Dug. I had 105 and the average was 105.05. I managed to get 2 achievements for 45 points, so now I’m sitting at a cool 150.
The only games I have left are:
- The Orange Box - 19.88% underachievement. I haven’t had too much time to actually play this game, other than Portal, I’ve barely made a dent into Half-Life 2. I just need to sit down and play it and I should be able to get it with little troubles.
- Lost Odyssey - 29.44% underachievement. I finished the first disc last month, and haven’t played it since. I have no idea why I took the break, but now that I’m pretty much done with The Simpsons Game, this is going right back onto the playlist.
- Geometry Wars: Evolved - 48.51% underachievement. This is the one that I’m doubting if I’ll ever get 20 more points. I have 20 so far and I had to try so damn hard to even get those. It’ll take a lot of practice on my part.
- Ninety-Nine Nights - 51.48% underachievement. I hate this game. With a passion. It’s so boring, but when you’re right about to finish a level you die and have to restart. I’m slowing going through it again. I need to beat it with 2 more characters, and I’m about 1/3rd done with 1 of those characters. I’m not looking forward to this…
- DW5 Empire - 86.22% underachievement. I haven’t really played this game too much, and when I do it makes no sense. I just need to sit down one afternoon and play it, and I’ll pound out a number of achievements.
I’ll be sure to let you know when I knock another one of those off my list.
