Easy Gamer Points

    Just wondering what games can I get some easy Gamer Points on. Some people have told me King Kong but I was just wondering if anyone knew how I could get my points tally up?

    any of the EA Sports games, King Kong, can't think of any others that you don't really have to work for

    I'll sell you King Kong 2nd hand if you want? :)
    Kameo is 600 points if you finish the game also, but it can take awhile.

    GRAW is easy too, if you know a trick or two for hard mode single player ;)

    Why, are there cheats?

    Is there any advantage to gamer points other than e-penis size?

    oh, so are we all admitting that now :D

    FIFA RTWC has by far the easiest gamerpoints, my little bro has it, think he got all 1000 in a few hours, might get him to bring it over to mine and rack up the 1000 for me while I'm in work one day, I've no intention of playing it whatsoever

    Yeah, is there a cheat or what?

    you can use the invincibility cheat to finish GRAW on hard, and you still get the gamerpoints. Massive oversight by the makers

    Bah, where is the fun in that?

    I think the gamer points are a nice addition, it does add incentive for me to clear games and do some things I might otherwise ignore. However, to buy a game for "easy points" is stupid; back to the arms wide out, "my penis is this big" mentality.

    I can forsee a lot of "easy point" rentals once xtra-vision start renting.

    Not a stab at you tank btw (well, except maybe the GRAW bit ;))


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Tank Top Fever!


    the thing with GRAW is that I'd already legitimately played through it once on normal, so I wasn't really arsed playing through it again

    Gamerpoints are an excellent addition imo, just wish EA would tighten theirs up a little bit, every other games company seems to be making a fair stab at doling them out fairly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    Yeah, I was going to say that in my last response. I think it's a bad idea buying games for easy points because it encourages this bad development mentality from the likes of EA (what percentage of 360 games are EA? it's ridiculous!) that once you play through once you have done everything the game has to offer.

    I played GRAW through on normal then lent it off, hopefully when it comes back it will have been gone long enough to encourage a play through on hard :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭mcgovern


    I'm playing it on hard now after finishing it on normal.
    Playing it proper with no cheats, its only now that you can start to appreciate the AI, they've flanked me a few times and a few other cool things.
    Wouldn't feel like I earned the points if I cheated.

    Can you use those points to buy stuff on marketplace? Or are they different points?

    you cant use them to buy stuff.... but you never know what they might be used for in the future.... they have the potential to work in a reward scheme of some sort... could be pretty cool

    I agree completely.

    I love the idea of gamer points - its an incentive to play games, and i think it is wrong that you could get them by cheating.

    When i first got CoD2 i completed it on normal, with any other game on any other console i would have left it - but i wanted the gamer points, and it felt damn good when i completed that last mission on vet mode to get all the points available. If i had been able to get them by cheating, it would no have felt the same, not by a long shot.

    I could slap the cheats in GRAW, but i won't, i'll try and complete the game properly, and get the points properly.

    STSs?????whats that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,667 ✭✭✭madrab


    meh, gamer points dont bother me in the slightest, if im going to replay a game its because it was a good game & it deserved to get replayed, not because i could get an extra 50 points, maybe if you could actually use them for something i would give a crap but until then...
