Achievement Whore... You might like trueachievements.com.

Burning Eclipse

Stumbled across this recently, it's an online community that ranks your gamerscore based on the difficulty of the achievements you've gotten.

Their methods could be questionable (I think they calculate values based on the number of people who have the game versus the number who have the achievement), but it's certainly interesting and would reward those who got 1000 points in Dead or Alive 4 a lot more than those who got 1000 points in Madden 06.

For those interested linky

If you do sign up, post here so people can add each other!

Mr Freeze

Will have a look at that when i get home.
Its blocked here at work, sounds good though!

Mr E

Its a cool idea alright. Its scanning my games now. From what I can see, very easy achievements are just +1 on the original (so if an easy achievement is +10 to your gamerscore, your TA will be +11). Here are some of the conversions its doing for some of the trickier achievements I've got - the real GS in (brackets), TA score is in [brackets].

Marble Blast Ultra: Marble-fu Transcendent (35) [90]
Finish all Advanced levels under par time.

Geometry Wars 2: Smile (25) [101]
2, 4, 11, 15, 17, 18 and 19.

Geometry Wars 2: Game Over (15) [37]
Reach the end of sequence.

Great examples... I only have the last of those achievements. Some of your scores in GW are ridiculous. :cool: And Schadenfreude! :eek:

The only flaw I can find in their maths is that it's game specific and ratio based. For example a rock hard achievement worth (1) point (Bullet Witch on hard or something like that) will still only be worth a multiple of 1, perhaps [10]. That makes it tougher than an achievement for (15) points that is worth [75].... twice as hard in fact, but still worth less points!

Hope my writings make sense... Regardless, I like the idea behind the site. Lets get adding each other

Mr E

Schadenfreude.... *shudder*
Never again.

Worse than that. I just looked it up (Bullet Witch on Hell Difficulty) and the TA score is 3! Harsh. Looks like x3 is the highest multiplier for a TA achievement so.

ShaneU

Hmm I wonder what my "true" score will be

edit: http://www.trueachievements.com/shane86.htm that's quite a jump

No I got it straight away

Mr E

HeyHeyAces 11,411 (9,237)
9,237 is actual, 11,411 is TA score.

Just registered and set it off to figure out how great I am, now the site seems to have crashed.

robinph

Now it's working, must have been a glitch in the matrix. Doesn't seem to have added up my new total yet though although it does give me a new score for each game now:

Working away on my ta total.

Mr E

My Friend Feed is starting to fill up now. Cool feature... you can see what the last few achievements your friends got. All Burning Eclipse at the moment though.... does the guy ever sleep?

Vic Vinegar

it seems to take ages to work out the total, it's been over an hour for me so far!

*edit* there it is now. I'm 64,307 from an actual GS of 48,607

robinph

The lines are now closed, all the calls have been counted and verified, the final results are...

28,208 (19,830)

... so I've gained nearly 10,000 points by doing nothing. w00t

Get in everyone... chrislad will be number 1 for life if he joins us mortals...

wanosd is his gt for those who don't know his phenomenal gamerscore.

Latchbones, grab the no 1 spot before he gets here

We've a nice groups going already!

ShaneU

Me and Spideog have the highest true achievement ratio so far. 1.42!

rizzla

I put in a wrong email by accident but it still seems to be working out my score.

That's what I like the most about the site. Boardsies far and wide can now tell that you unlock a tougher variety achievement than most

rizzla

The highest multiplier i think is x21.84 and you get it for the PES 09 achievement Ultimate Player worth 100gs (2,184)

ShaneU

Apparently my latest achievement was in July 2007 :pac:

calex71

just signed up there, thanks for the link.

seems to be quite a markup on some achievements - 326 / 100 on one of the grand theft auto ones its still chrunking the numbers on my TA score though :mad:

Haven't a clue how I've managed that? I thought I had got quite a few easy achievements in my time so would have expected my ratio to be worse than most peoples.

rizzla

Mines finally just done there, 62,682 (40,295) with a TA ratio of 1.56.

Hard. Core.

EDIT: Well, I'm late to the party, aren't I?

I mentioned this in another thread, to reiterate here... your gamerscore in Blue Dragon... How???

robinph

Danm it, my moment of glory has passed already.

That took me ages to get. I usually buy a game to grind to while I listen to podcasts and that was it back then, others have been Too Human.

nicklauski

My score is 36770 (27904). With a ratio of 1.32. Not too shabby. Just noticed a good few of the boardsies gamertags on the true achievements homepage while logging in. Good to see many getting involved!

Soby

just a 0 beside my gamerscore???that mean it hasent worked it out yet?

bucks73

Nice find and cool site. Just signed up so its still working my total out.

Yup! it takes a while!

Fringe

Signed up and joined the leaderboard. Mine is PinataCreed.

Epic Tissue

Good idea and nice site but it says my latest achievement is "off the boat" from GTA4. That's the achievement you get for doing the first mission.. I have gotten achievements in GTA4 and other games since then

CyberWaste

This is my one: http://www.trueachievements.com/BulletsForWar.htm

TA Ratio is 1.41

Mr Freeze

Done:

Nedved85

Signed up,

Best bit i think is where you can see achievements you have not done automatically, most come with explanations alongside them,

Handy!

mika27

This is pretty cool. Waiting on my score to update now.

Good to see all the boards gamertags on the home page!

Burning Eclipse

I updated the leaderboard to reflect the ratio so shane and spideog get more credit

Hopefully numbers will continue to grow :pac:

tman

Pretty cool site... Don't know how my achievements in PoP can be worth 908 though... they were 610 of the easiest gamerpoints I've had so far!

PGR 4 1450 (970) is my personal best
http://www.trueachievements.com/tmoneh.htm

nicklauski

The leader board is filling up nicely Latch. Any wants to add me work away.

robinph

My best is PGR4 as well, but I've got 1760 (1115) for it, closely followed by Lego: Star Wars II with 1722 (1000).

That must be where my overall ratio is getting boosted up by then.

Nah, I'm 9th. 1.3 or something. Missing about 3k from my GS as I've not been online for a bit.

Ah, back when I posted that I had the leaderboard sorted by adjusted gamerscore!!

jester77

Just joined... waiting for my score to tally up... haven't played much the past few months, although I've a few games on the way from Amazon. Floppy Tomatoes, if any one wants to hook up!

Mr Freeze

ah i only spotted the leaderboard now.....and im in at 8th, not too bad!!:D

Jayd0g

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, so will do a zombie on this one

Got an xbox a month ago, found trueachievments when looking for advise.

It's calculating my score now, I'm : Jayd0g84

djkeogh

good site alright. I joined up a good while back and stumbled across the boards leaderboard then after awhile so I'm in there in 7th place at the moment. The site, for better or worse, encourages me to dive back into my back catalogue to pick out more of the obsucure or hard to get achievements in older games.

Mr Freeze

Hmmm,

That site is blocked at work, I wonder am I still in 8th or moved down in the rankings.

Down I'd say, I seem to have left my gamerscore whoring days behind.

You are 34th on the Irish leaderboard, 250k+ points behind #1.
I'm 177th

calex71

#27 on the Irish one for me

Guy at #1 has a very impressive completion percentage of 76%
