Nearly 70 Xbox games flooded with easy 1,000G title updates in the past six weeks

TymanTheLong said:Yes you're right feather is very relaxing. However if all you care about is the achievements you can be done very quickly which is the only reason I mentioned it along with the others.

I do like some indies but only if they’re decent quality. I do also admittedly get some enjoyment out of the Artifex Mundi titles… but for the most part, I have dignity.

I also played Bullet Beat but again, wouldn’t really exploit those types of games anymore because it devalues your gamerscore and makes you look like a scrub.

It’s really all about TA score and ratio.

…and just overall quality.

I knew this would happen as soon they presented the changes for Xbox one many years ago. They destroyed everything about gamerscore. It means shit now and I really do not care about it so now I just care about completions.

EDIT: (I used to care about it while it was interesting).

69k? Niiiiiice!

Glad I don’t have any of these titles. Last thing I want is to play a relaxing, casual game to decompress only to be blindsided by lame add-on content after I’ve rear-mirrored the game.

That's too bad.

There should be a no shovel ware badge. This is honestly why I stopped getting achievements in mass. Recently I started hunting difficult achievements. Thank god for TA score

RubensX said:Yup, exactly this.
Very addicting to get that score. But ultimately leaves you feeling empty.

EI Bikerboy said: I would rather have a sweet 4 player local co-op board game (Richman 11 which I own) than a $70 "AAAA" online only failing game or a game that ignores the fact that some gamers still like to play games with their friends in the same room.

And how many of these are in game pass?

DarqStalker said:You literally came into an achievement hunting website and made a broad statement about how it's not okay for users of an achievement hunting website to be express their concerns about the state of achievements. What's the point in doing that? Clearly your comment was just to get people to shut up so YOU can see a perfect world where people rave about having more effortless achievements to get. "Get over yourself" he says hahaha. Pot, meet kettle.

It's July, what do you expect? Same as in January ...

And gamers wonder why i don't care for achievements anylonger. That im not impressed by the million gamerscore gamers have. One look at there games list will reveal the story. it has all become a big joke.

if people want to play these games i dont see the problem and they are not hurting anyone and for those other people that hate these shovelware games with a passion no one is forcing you to play and yes i am guilty of owning most of these games and yes most are fun but as well as these i also play loads of non shovelware games

Cheezatino said:The next step is to stop caring about 100% games, or play those games you wanted to play but skipped cause they have an unobtainable. The next step after that is to stop caring about achievements all together.

Love this. Hopefully more and more titles keep being released with TUs. Welcome to the future of achievement hunting

I have nothing against anyone who uses these games to boost their Gamerscore, but I personally realized years ago that this isn't for me. People care about Leaderboards feel "undervalued" by having high Ratio and "low" GS. I fell that I devalue my profile to myself with this. Much better to have a 100% on RD2 with blood, sweat and tears (one day will' get that 1000g) - which is one of the best experiences I've ever had with video games - than 100k of GS with these games that don't add anything to me. Only the Score loses its value. When I started with Xbox, around 2009-10 in my teenage, a Gamertag with 500~600k was impressive. Stallion83 reached the million mark in 2013 or 14, if I'm not mistaken. At the time, a much greater feat than it would be today. Not that it's easy today, but with enough time and money you can get there. I miss 200g Live Arcade titles...
