Achievements back... but there is still a problem FOR EVERYONE

okay I got my achievements and my points back, however there is STILL A BIG PROBLEM.

There were several games that I had showing as complete (1000/1000) that have since added DLC and thus more points. Where those were still showing in my completed games, now for example, Assassins Creed: Revelations shows 1000/1490 (49 of 69 achievements completed).

I spent a lot of time going for 1000 of 1000 on several games and do not want to be forced to pay for DLC and have to go back and complete DLC (that I'm not at all interested in) in order to have those games back on my "completed games" list.

From talking to a few people, they're having the same problems and I'll bet everyone else that's gotten 1000/1000 on a game that later released DLC is having the same problem.

And something tells me this isn't one that can be fixed.

Eh, it is just achievements. Not a big deal, really.

there is STILL A BIG PROBLEM.

I have to agree that it's not a big problem. I would feel the same way as I like seeing the 1000/1000 but we just have to let it go...right?

I thought that's how it always was; if you get 1000/1000, the game goes on the completed list, but if DLC comes out with more achievements, the game comes off the list until you get all the achievements again.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that's how it always worked. That's how it should be anyway, if you don't want to get the DLC achievements, that's fine, but you shouldn't expect to have that game on the completed list.

no... it is a big problem. There's a lot of people out there that put time in to getting 1000/1000 on several games

It sucks if that's going to be taken away from you if you don't buy/download/complete DLC as well.

I understand your point, but still think it's fine for companies to use achievements to incentivise players to pay for DLC.

Don't get me wrong OP, I love hunting for achievements, and it sucks that you're frustrated. But I can't help but think that it's fair. If you only have 1000/1500 G, that game shouldn't be on you completed list, even if you got 1000/1000 before the DLC was released.

I can see this from both sides. For instance I completed a certain game and had it in my completed list with all of the achivements. A few months later I went to play it for fun and it said there was an update... so I got it... and my game now was removed from my completed list because of the newly added DLC. I must be honest that it did frustrate me at first a little. After thinking about it for some time... I realized two things... first of all I did complete the game fully as it was shipped and was very happy about that. Most importantly to me now though, for me I realized playing to get achievements is not actually playing a game. I still love to get them, but now I am back to my roots of gaming, which is I simply love to play games. If I get the achievements, great, if I don't, so be it. Some games I will try to complete if I get close... but I don't make them my sole reason for gaming. :)

I have to agree with this. Although I'm guilty of going for achievements sometimes. I do think that it also detracts from the way some games should be played.

What ever happened to playing games just for the sheer fun of that game? :)

Try clearing the cache when you next turn the console on.

There are far bigger problems than this though.... like having a Gamerscore that doesn't end in a 5 or a 0... now that is a massive problem.

It is for some who are serious about their Achievement Points. It still needs to be fixed, because it's still a problem, no matter how big you think it is.

This may not get fixed though, as it may have been part of Microsoft's update. Originally all DLC had seperate Achievements and weren't attached to the original game. Now it seems like it was merged. It would be nice if Microsoft provided an explaination of the changes.

How was this not an issue before? It always added in DLC I don't have to the achievements, since like NXE first arived.

stop earning achievements that will solve YOUR ****ING PROBLEMS

First - how is this a problem?

Second - its been this way for a long time, actually for as long as the dashboard has had a completed games slide it has always worked this way, how have you only just noticed now?

It's always been like that.. and who cares?

I thought this was going on before the whole thing with today... Its just a way they update the game, and also a sneaky way of getting people to buy their DLC...Warablo13
