XboxInsider: Opinion: Achievements and Gamers

Jason Hawkins of XboxInsider writes: "I overheard a conversation between gamers the other day which sparked my creative juices in regards to an opinion article, namely the one I'm writing now (let's face facts; if it wasn't, it'd be very strange). The conversation was about achievements in general; how they both competed for them, what games were best for achievements, and how what they played and their score was critiqued by all.

After listening to this conversation, I got to thinking about how I saw achievements. A public record of my gaming habits, my choices and how involved I was in games; a trophy if you will, of my gaming prowess. With this is mind, I got to asking over 50 other gamers what they thought about achievements and how or if they changed their own mindset about gaming because of them. The results, personally, I thought worthy of sharing."

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac52d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator52d ago

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator52d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii113d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies113d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

Gamingsince1981123d ago

I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library

RiseNShine123d ago

let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.

Contrary to your arbitrary argument, this game didn't fail due to "wokeness" lol.

phoenixwing123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.

HankHill123d ago

Attractive females are offensive in current year.
