    Jesus I'm crap at pacifism.. I think Smellys total is a couple of hundred million and i think the highest ive managed is 300,000!! Loving the game tho

    The achievements are a great challenge in this. Alot more achievable than the ones in Geometry Wars 1.

    I spent over a half an hour last night trying to get the Treaty Achievement (activate 30 rings without shooting in King Mode). Got 28 a few times, and 29 once. So bloody close.

    Surfing and Phobia are also a challenge but doable. Should get them the next time.

    I don't even want to think about Wax Off yet...

    They really are! (on both counts)

    What's your gamertag man? i'm not sure if I have you there.

    Added you mise.

    This game is a 10 out of 10 as far as i'm concerned! fookin class. I need to start moving up the leaderboards though. :o

    Achievements are definitely much more doable this time around. The 2 sequence ones will be the hardest I'd imagine (also conveniently the only 2 I don't have :p). Next to that I'd say treaty was the most difficult, you just gotta get a little lucky with the zone spawns and just tip them and go. Wax-off wasn't that bad IMO, but then again you can see I'm a fan of Pacifism :p.

    I'm slowly coming into reach of that King score from Freaky Drunk!

    There truly is no better game for the unemployed gamer. :pac:

    I've seen the Smile achievement done (there is a video on youtube of it). Takes a decent amount of skill, thats for sure.

    I'm totally rubbish, but practice will make perfect :) [Pacifist mode is impossible]

    I'm last of 9 or 10 people on all 6 leaderboards

    Don't worry I am the same as you :D

    Sorry Retro, couldn't wait two weeks!

    This is fantastic, what a game! Some of the new shapes are cool (triangles and gates) and the new modes are excellent. I dunno if I'm mad about the geom things from the DS version and I'm extra unsure about holding onto them after you die, although maybe that's just the sadist in me.

    We need more people on the leaderboards please!

    Your score is ridiculous, no one here has a chance of beating it, actually more like no chance of beating it in any of the modes :P

    Its a great game even when your crap at it :)
    I broke a bit off my black controller yesterday when the bomb didn't go off and I died.........maybe if I had a bomb left it might have gone off :o

    Edit: I've added the gamertags I didn't have

    The leaderboards are cool - I've sent invites to everyone in this topic. My tag is Txm Wxlsh

    Damn you, damn you all to hell. That is one addictive game. Mayhaps I too will invest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭A-Trak


    Just.....one......more......go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    Woo! Got that King score, finally! :D

    Terminator is making ground though, I've got my eye on you! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 762 ✭✭✭Terminator


    Apart from Waves and King your scores are just way out there. No chance to catch them. :eek: I'm battling for 2nd place!

    I'm going to have to add a load of you lads, no one on my friends list has this yet so it's a bit lonely looking at a scoreboard with just me on it. I'm Swordfisd, an attack of dyslexia when originally entering my gamertag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,529 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    A friend of mine has some very good scores.... nowhere near SmellyIrishMan (freak) but he has second highest on my friends list on one of the modes. He told me to post up his tag here, so feel free to add him: ovrk1ll

    (Especially Terminator, SmellyIrishMan and Mountain Lips) :)

    Cheers guys. Just got my login sorted on boards. Didn't have one earlier. Thanks for the invites will accept them later as soon as i'm online.

    Addiicted to the game since it came out. Got it the weekend and must have racked up about 24 hours play on it so far. Sill those last 2 achievements to get to finish the sequence.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 762 ✭✭✭Terminator


    Txm Wxlsh (I think i sent you a friend request)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I was playing the demo of this at the weekend and OMFG! I missed out on the first one completely (only a recent 360 owner) and I definitely think I'll be getting this. Managed to hit close to a million points on my second attempt which I think it pretty ok. :)

    Yoink. (sorry!:P)

    *shakes fist* :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Fecking fantastic game! Can't believe that it actually manages to improve on the faultless original!
    I even managed to have a higher score than Smelly on evolved for all of 10 minutes!!! (he's now about 15 million points higher than me though:p)
    feel free to add tmoneh - I've added Swordfisd and ovrk1ll already
