After the initial test of a weekly summary, a neglect in blogging began but with the end of 2015 just a few days away, I need to be up to date going into the new year starting with the remaining weeks of November. This post covers the period of the 8th-22nd November finishing with the two year anniversary statistics for the Xbox One.
November 8 saw a session split between two games on the Xbox One in the form of
Spectra and
Zoo Tycoon with a total of three achievements and 45G split in favour of
Spectra.
The ninth saw a huge effort in the Achievement Chase with four games featuring -
Avatar, EA Active 2, A World of Keflings (Win 8) and
Costume Quest 2 which was a completion. The quartet combined for a huge total of 24 achievement and a massive haul of 1,167G.
A shorter session followed on the 10th as
GTA-San Andreas took centre stage with five achievements for 120G. The pursuit of reaching 150,000 G was within reach with just 185 G left to claim.
November 11 is written as Armistice Day and in this context also as the day when I reached my all-time goal of 150,000 G.The plan had been to do a perfect split of 100,000 G on the X360/Windows platforms and 50,000 G on the Xbox One but a date stamped unlock meant a slight difference of 10 G overall. On the Xbox One was a
Halo-The Master Chief Collection and on the '360-
GTA-San Andreas and
Vancouver 2010 with the latter being the historic game used for the milestone. The trio of games combined for five achievements and 185 G.
The 12th saw a début for backward compatible Xbox 360 game
Feeding Frenzy which saw a reasonable three achievements for 30G. The following day saw
Feeding Frenzy continue but with only two achievements for 40 G.
The 14th saw a tiny bit of play time as
Gems of War was started on the Xbox One with just a single achievement being unlocked for just 5 G. The session continued into the next day with three further achievements unlocked for 45 G and the next day was the only game played for one more achievement for 50 G.
After débuting earlier in the month, Xbox One Indie game Q had a lengthy play session on the 17th with a total of 11 achievements unlocked for a very low 60 G but given the game's total is 99 achievements for 1000G, it was a small drop in the Q ocean.
November 18th saw two backward compatible '360 titles combine as
Hexic and
Joyride Turbo resulted in a total of seven achievements for 90 G.
Another backward compatible from the Xbox 360 was given a début in the form of retro classic title
Golden Axe which in a session of about an hour resulted in three achievements for 55 G.
A new game came on the Xbox One as Minecraft -Story Mode received it's first play which saw four achievements for a total of 95 G
The following day saw the
Minecraft-Story Mode session continue with a début for
Lego Jurassic World also on the Xbox One coming later in the day, the two combined for four achievements and 125 G.
November 22 marked two years since the launch of the Xbox One so it was apt that Xbox One title
Halo-The Master Chief Collection was played on which saw two achievements for 15 G. However for the Xbox One itself, my statistics across the two years make for good reading with a total of 2172 achievements, 90,033 TA points and a huge haul of 50,405 G.
