I listed 25 games for my Bean Dive. I started them all today and they all show up on my feed, but Forza 3 is not listed under the Bean Dive drop down like the others. It is shown as a normally started game like any other day.

No biggy, but it would be nice for it to be with the rest of my Bean Dive games started.

You won more than 2 achievements in the game, so you didn't dive it

Can I just say I think this is a really silly rule? In many games it's entirely possible to get 3 or more achievements pretty quickly. For example, I'm decent at Guitar Hero but haven't played 5. Let's say I start GH5 today. I play one song. I could get Over 9000, No Mistakes Allowed, Above and Beyond, Special Guest, etc all in that one song. Heck, the guide for Crowd Pleaser (the absolute easiest achievement in the game) mentions that he got 4 achievements on his first song.

I understand that the point of the Bean Dive is to play a game very briefly just to start and then move on, but sometimes a few achievements can pop in a short period of time, or even at the same time, and I don't see why that can't count as a dived game.

TrueAchievement said:You won more than 2 achievements in the game, so you didn't dive itThat's a requirement? Well good to know, sometimes when I dive games I decide to put an hour or so into them if I'm really into them. Maybe up it to 5 or something though. 2 would be good for arcade, if you're willing to have different values for arcade.

Never mind.

Is there a reason for a limit at all?

No, this is purely so TA can identify dived games, I would say.

If you want to do the most damage to your completion percentage then you'd want to try and only get 1 achievement in each game.
