House Flipper 2 ditches the first game’s rarest Xbox achievement

    well i think the only reason people didn't sell so many houses was because they played for a certain amount of time then stopped playing the renovation sim

    Just because House Flipper 2 is not on Xbox game pass on release date, does not mean it could be sometime in the future hopefully this year ( 2024 ) or next year ( 2025 )
    I only ended up playing it first when i was sick 2 years ago and wanted a game to pass the time, so i just continued playing until i 100% it

    Because completing the "campaign" only requires selling 20 houses, so most people 1) aren't even going to get to that point, playing through a few houses just to get their fill and moving on, and 2) those who do get through the campaign might not feel like selling another 30 houses just for an achievement.
    Yeh i know all of that, but it's still not difficult to do and 4% seems low to me despite the "grind" being required post campaign

    There are many games that require a post campaign grind and this is one of the easier ones imo so just stood out as being low
    I think that certain games see a big dip in achievements like that because of the gameplay loop. It can take a really long time to sell a house if you are into the game( I have watched my fiance spend hours on a house that she doesn't even sell), and after the campaign you are just selling the same houses over and over. Lots of people at this point probably think they will finish it later, maybe with the DLC or after the same houses aren't so fresh in their memory.
    You can literally buy a house and sell.it at a loss immediately. It really is simple and takes no time to do providing you have enough money to keep making losses, which you should have if you've finished the game. Heck, if you spend 5 mins cleaning it, you'll actually make a couple of grand.
    It's more than just a game, it's a passion.

    The only reason it has such a low completion rate is because the dlc is so expensive. I finished the base game, but I'm not paying over £100 on one game.

    That's my point; if you want to grind out the achievment after the main game then the best way is to just quickly buy and sell the same houses you already bought and sold. Once you beat the campaign it turns into a very very boring grind, even if its only an hour with all the menus and everything. And like I said, the switch from active, cozy gameplay to a boring grind will probably make a lot of people save it for later(like when the get the DLCs).
