Day two for Calendar Man

Players of Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham City (PC) will have noticed a date-sensitive achievement in the game. On a special day during each month of the year, players are required to go and visit Calendar Man in order to get the Storyteller achievement.

Players who haven't resorted to changing their date settings offline will be pleased to know that today's Thanksgiving celebrations are another of those special occasions. This will be the second opportunity for Xbox 360 players, who were also able to make use of Halloween for their first visit. For PC players in North America and Australasia, this will be your first opportunity. Unfortunately for PC players in Europe, Thanksgiving comes a day too early for you.

The next date that players will need to make a note of is Christmas day. For a full list of dates, check out the great work of the community solutions.

Again, I love the idea behind this but having it exploited by adjusting your console rewens it. THis can be said about a lot of achievements.

I think the idea behind it is good as well, but for most people it is totally unpractical. I for one won't able to get on on Christmas Day, and more than likely Valentine's too! For this I understand while a lot of people will get it offline. I might have to also.

If I tried to play xbox on Xmas or Valentines even if it was for 5 minutes to do this, the misses would make me pay for weeks

Must say that's a first as far as me seeing "ruins" spelled like that. shock Not trying to be a prick really, I'm sure it's just a silly mistake.

OT: These are pretty cool ideas, however I'm not a fan of them personally considering it's either time glitched the majority of the time or annoying if you forget. Though there is some respect for those who gets these legit.
You seem a little furious...

I like the idea but if you play close to it then it should count I mean he started talking about Halloween when I started then it was about Thanksgiving so if you play within a few days or even a week of a holiday they should count it.

Like most of you guys, I think it's a cool idea, but no one wants to get 99.9% of the achievements for the game and then wait a year for the last one. It's just not going to happen. Got the achievement for the 360 on Halloween and the trophy for the PS3 today! :P

Hate this achievement, will just end up cheating to get it. Their are alot of bad achievements out there, but Date related ones are probably the worst.

i think this sort of achievements are retarded. what do they try to achieve by implementing this? people not selling the game? people actually playing for 1 year? what?

i don't plan on selling the game and i don't plan playing it for a while year. and i CBA to keep track of the specific days, and BTW it sucks major ass that they are different depending on country, making it even harder to track.

Not his fault. Text is highlighted with a red squiggly line when you spell it wrong. Such an idiotic mistake seems to be the norm for the first post on a story though when it is longer than a few words.

Don't really understand all the hate for this achievement, so it takes some time to get. So what? For those saying they can't get online on Christmas because of their significant other I feel real bad for you people.

I don't get why people are ripping on a kid 'cuz he spelled a word wrong. Honestly you people are pathetic trash talkers.

Also, I had to read that post like 5 times before it made sense. Listen, I'm not dumb by any stretch but you'd have to be an English Professor to understand that load the first read through.
