I'll admit that I'm very much into the achievement system in the 360, mostly to the point where I'll try to get the most out of each game. I'll enjoy it, unlock points, and so forth. Though some points I won't even touch, like the achivement for 10,002 kills or something like that in Battlefield Bad Company. Thats too much for me.

I hate it though, when you put so much work into a game, for achievements or not...and then fail at it. Yesterday, I put in my favorite Eternal Sonata, which I have yet to beat (even after writing a review) and worked my way to the Mysterious Union. I got an achievement for opening it up, and another one I wasn't even aiming for, leveling up my party. So inside, I spend maybe up to three hours, leveling up and finding *SPOILERS I SUPPOSE* these special soul shards to unlock and free this girl. I got up to the last floor of this dungeon to fight the boss for my first achievement. Well, I get into a fight with monsters I've never had problems beating. And then....poof. Just like that, all my work gone. By some fluke, or mistake on my part, I was crushed and tossed aside as if I was nothing in the grand sceme of things. And like that...all my hard work floated out the window. (Which is why I LOVE save points, why, why, why are they so rare in most RPGs. For me at least. And of course, their the perfect reminder about an upcoming boss. Nothing beats wandering around and theres a save point...boss fight!)

But anyways, it drives me nuts to sudden fail after so much work. I put an equal amount into Call of Duty 4, and only because I enjoy that game so much is why I put all my effort into its Veteran setting. Of course, I'm glad it doesn't have multiplayer ones because I know I'd get crushed doing so.

Another game I'm struggling on is another fave of mine, Lost Odyssey, a really wonderful game. I'm on disc 2 out of 4, and loving it. Why did I quit? Well, its not part of my rant here, but the leveling system in it could be way better (Which I'll probably whine about it another blog), but anyways...lol. So many RPGs coming out soon. The Last Remnant, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean The Last Hope, FF13 (Hurray! Now they should also give me FF Verus 13 lol), Infinite Undiscovery and so many more! ^_^

I'm thinking a game I've been waiting for a long time is coming out today, Soul Cailbur 4! I can't wait. I hope its out at least. It could be its shipping date. I fall for that time and time again. Maybe I won't fail so much at that game. It does look like good points.

Okay, Okay, I'm done ranting. I got off topic alot as well. Tell me your worst failures at video games. It doesn't have to be when aiming for achievements, just when it went wrong and it really drove you mad! Or maybe a failure at life? Everyone has those. So tell me! ^_^ So my blog doesn't become a ghost town lol.
