    I made contact with the developer, and the porting partner, who is likely the source of many of our miseries is the one who decided that 14 point achievements were funny and they won't do it again.

    It's not like the game is hard and you'll be stuck with a GS that doesn't end in 5 or 0. Just play the whole game and it won't matter. roll

    More importantly there is an achievement for finding 15 cats and it’s worth 14 GamerScore. What a missed opportunity…

    14 is an even number, how in the world do you call it uneven.
    All Hail Xitilon!!!

    It's what people call non multiples of five because it unbalances our scores. MS should have banned anything else years ago. They don't tell indy devs it pisses people off and they get savaged for it.

    Why does it piss you off? If you complete the game then you get 1000 GS which is a multiple of 5

    No it isn't called that at all, go to TA and sort achievements. It is called non-divisible by 5 here and nowhere is it ever called "uneven". Even is multiples of 2 or zero and uneven is odd which is ending in 1,3,5,7 or 9. Also it doens't piss off as many people as you think. I personally HATE having my GS end in 0 or 5, I think ALL games should have at least one achievement non-diviisble by 5. Extra kudos to the games that has a full score that doesn't end in 0 or 5!
    All Hail Xitilon!!!

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.

    A good quote, I just don't understand why this guy took it upon himself to message devs to speak for all of us, I guess i'll have to go message them saying how I feel too. Crazy though that he says it is causing misery and suffering, that is surely taking it a bit too far. I feel like WORLDS Builder: Farm & Craft (Windows) Achievements is a breath of fresh air having 1048 GS instead of the boring 1000 base.

    because it looks awkward, and more importantly it means that I can't stop playing until I hit a multiple of five. With this game that meant instead of five minutes to the next achievement it was as much as half an hour on a game that I typically use to keep a streak going

    Your TA score ends in a 2 right now though, how come that doesn't bother you?

    Because i don't care about it?

    It's arbitrary and changed minute to minute.

    Fair enough, everyone cares about different stuff and no one can get others to care about what they care about when they are set in their ways. I just think it is taking it too far to go to the dev and tell them to take away something other people enjoy. I enjoy these kinds of achivements and aren't the only one. You aren't the only one guilty, TA stopped Rataliaka from releasing TU's and that also isn't fair to people that like TU's. Nothing is stopping the people that don't like things from simply ignorning them and just living their life. You have 7 pages of non-divisible by 5 GS achievements by the way and 6 of the pages are from the last 3 years.
    All Hail Xitilon!!!

    Is this legit? Haha. I like when my gamerscore is messed up - instead of just having 0 or 5 at the end lol
  • Posted on 05 October 24 at 17:00
    Don't these developers believe in releasing these titles for PCs? Or should I fork out $400 for a console (that I cannot afford) just to play this?
