I have yet to figure out why anyone cares about achievements.

You're playing a game. Presumably, the game rewards you for doing well. Why exactly do you need another layer of positive reinforcement, especially one that pulls you out of immersion every time you do something trivial?

What next, games coming with a free session to a therapist to talk about your self esteem and inadequacy issues?

Only people with humiliatingly low gamerscores use THAT argument. Don't be trying to shit on us just cause you suck at games.

Baka-akaB5546d ago (Edited 5546d ago )

lol the funny thing is some achievement whores hardly display any particular skills , other than reading a guide or faq online .

Let's not pretend most of them would bother seeking for hidden stuff .

RedSky5546d ago

m-s-8-2 my good man, I neither know what a gamerscore is, neither do I care.

And if you'd like to challenge me on the latter point I encourage you to hit me up on Starcraft 2, but I guess you're probably too busy twiddling your thumb sticks.

I just think he's having a bit of bad luck, because i've not seen anyone else report such. I only found one bug that stopped me from completing a quest, which I will just make sure I do the right way next time. Not a big deal, since I've planned on beating the game a few more times anyways.

This was fixed 2 days ago. Delete the DLC pack, then redownload it from your history. Play through The Exiled Prince again and the Achievements unlock.

Why would anyone buy DLC so soon after launch when it should have just been part of the retail release?

bumnut5546d ago

I was just about to leave a nasty comment about the dlc until I read your comment about it been free.

It has been known for paid dlc to be released so close to release though, Alien vs Predator for example. They included 2 survival maps with the game then tried to sell more a week after release! wtf!

RankFTW5546d ago

It came in the box with my signature edition. And I never had any problems getting 4/5 of the trophies (maybe not bugged on PS3), the only one I'm missing is the love/hate trophy from the dlc.

Nightshade3865546d ago

@rankftw: It's a 360 version issue only, and it's fixable.

@Bumnut: People who did not preorder the game can still buy the DLC if they want, but it was basically a "preorder bonus" for those that did. He's a decent character and his quests are well done.

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

EA Made Dragon Age and Mass Effect DLC Free On PC By Retiring The BioWare Points System

Immersed Gamer writes: "In order to replace the oppressive BioWare Points system, EA is making a large portion of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age DLC catalogs free for PC users.

For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.

Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."

Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).

Mobis-New-Nest1414d ago

What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.

All BioWare Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "There was a time that BioWare games were the biggest deal in gaming. The Canadian developer’s legacy of all-time classics is well known. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate are some of the biggest names in gaming.

While BioWare’s quality has fallen off lately, there’s no denying the quality of titles in their portfolio. That’s why we’re going to dive in and rank every BioWare game from worst to best. By every, I do mean every BioWare game, even the ones you completely forgot about!"

Ranked from worse to even more worse more like, they been on free fall for a fair few years now and I personally don't think any of there earlier games have aged well

autobotdan1573d ago

Wow to think at one point in their history they made a Sonic the Hedgehog game..crazy

chicken_in_the_corn1573d ago

Anthem is crazy underrated. I really enjoyed it. ME1 is Bioware's best imo

I actually put quite a bit of hours into Anthem but i dont think its underrated. It was a huge mess, server issues, gameplay issues, crashes, no endgame loop, too few different enemies, uninteresting gear. too few dungeons.

It for sure had potential and if they could have managed to keep the same gameplay of the classes but without the rest of the issues, this game could have been huge, but in the state in which it launched it was such a letdown. They partly fixed some of the issues, but it took too long. A grinding game like this needs to hook players from day 1.
