Aww I just got 20g by accident lol

docdolittle

I spent 40+ hours playing star ocean last month and only got 330 points after completing the game and everything :rolleyes: Last month before college again, can't hold anything back now :P

Kenny_D

How is the initial score taken? Can I log off xbox live and start getting achievements now then plug back in when the new challenge has been set up?

docdolittle

Ah crap.. I just remembered my xbox live runs out in like a week :eek: Well looks like offline stuff for me only

TheChrisD

The Divil - Starting score: 0 - Daily captured score: 0 - LiveScore: 38,717 (+38,717)

W...T...F...?

chrislad

Ah, I see what has happened. Since The Divil never joined the Blog before, it's starting from the first time it saw his score. I would think that 38k is his starting point, not an increase.

AdMMM

Awww, now our progress graphs will look crap . Obviously the 38k doesn't count for "official" purposes.

Mr Freeze

It has amended itself now on the challenge page hasn't it?

Kenny_D

Yeah its all fixed now. 38k is my starting score

corcaigh07

think this deserves a bump. the batman IRL, added you for some Gears of War playthrough if your up for it, got the second gears today cheap as well. also bought fight night 3 and assasins creed so should be making a surge up the table before it ends.

He added everyone here? I'm up for some Gears all right. Love that game. Finishing Prototype at the moment tho, I think some of you guys already played through that. Elizabeth Greene - the most padded out boss fight ever? Anyway I'll hook up with ye for Gears if I'm online.

corcaigh07

just added you there on xbox.com, i could be online around 11.30 or so tonight.

chrislad

As I said, I'll be up for Gears after Friday night. Horde or Insane Co-Op!

docdolittle

Took me ages to hoard the horde... the last 2 where a biatch... took me and my cuz ages to do it... tip for everyone, use shields... a lot :P

TheChrisD

I'm hearing Gears

Definitely a lot of Horde action needed, especially getting those 50 waves on Nowhere (amongst other things). Also, with the playlists being updated, we could also get a group for the Annex achievement if anyone else hasn't got that 75-pointer yet.

Friday and that second Fallout DLC disc can't come quickly enough. Another 700 or so for me soon

TheChrisD

Oi midfield! Stop scoring already! I'm running out of Fallout 3 DLC to use!

chrislad

That went to the wire!!

Mr Freeze

You beat The Divil by a nose....Didnt see that coming.

I'm unable to include any points scored between the Jult and August challenges, but I think Admmmmmmmmmmmmm will be doing that, so there may be small discrepancies.

Mr Freeze

There was never really any chance of catching wanosd.

This month? I could have easily beat him if I was that pushed. Picked up a few new games during the week and had a chance to buy Lost for €8. Would have been an easy 1k points. I've no interest in the game though so wasn't gonna buy it just for the points. Those days are long gone. Well done Wanosd. Great comeback

chrislad

It would have been very easy to catch. I could easily build up 20k plus in a week starting from scratch. I would like to thank my cousin for getting Ice Age 3 fir the weekend though!!!!

I did go a bit crazy the first month but the last two weren't. This month was mainly Batman and Mass Effect again.

Mr Freeze

No in total, the 1st month he scored a mad amount of points.

Kenny_D

I got batman but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Haven't even played the demo but from what everyone says its a great game so just took the plunge and picked it up. Need to get back around now to finishing off mass effect, bioshock, gears2, fallout 3, prince of persia, assasins creed, skate, skate2 and the other 20 or so games I haven't finished yet :P

I was up late last night playing Brothers in Arms. Decent enough game. If I didnt have work today I could have taken the lead back with about another 1-2 hours of gameplay.

Chris I see you have full points in Star Wars. Is the game good yeah? I picked that up as well this week but haven't tried it or seen the gameplay yet. Just looked good from the box :P

chrislad

I got pissed off with ME last night. Was on Pinnacle Station, had 11 out of the 12 challenges done in first place, and it froze. It was a while since I had played ME so when I remember that it doesn't autosave, I realised I've have to spend another hour doing it so (power off/bed).

bucks73

Congrats Chris. Mad overall score.

Oh that would sicken me, especially since that DLC for ME was a huge let down imo. It wasn't worth the wait.

So was the Star Wars one, that took about 10 mins to clear, it was very bad.

Can't say that I was enjoying the DLC but I'm getting my guy to level 60, so I was grinding through it. The Star Wars DLC was a fan jerk off. Took me all of 10 mins too, but I needed for for my 100% completion on it, dagnabit!

'Oooo. It's Boba Fett and Obi-Wan!!!!'

Mr Freeze

How long has it taken ya to get to level 60?

I am at 59 now....on my 3rd playthrough, its a class game!!!

Well Done on winning the challenge by the way, was never gonna beat ya after that start, but trying to come 2nd was enough of a challenge.

chrislad

On 57, just after getting Spectre on my 3rd playthrough.

Mr Freeze

Race ya to 60 so:D Only messing.

I have 60hrs played on that game, roll on ME2, this playthrough will be my last, and will be my proper save for ME2.

chrislad

I've done 2 and a bit playthroughs with Jack John Shepard. Once I get to 60 with him, I might do one more with a whole new character. Roll on ME2 is right though!

TheChrisD

Well, I still consider my overall 5th place to be good seeing as I didn't use any "cheap" games :P

Oh my god, that would melt my head! By far one of the most glitched up games ever, but also maybe even one of the best ? I do hope they fix it in ME2

Sad to see I missed the challenge. maybe next time!

It depends really on how much you like Star Wars! Most reviews give it about 6/10 but you can add an extra 3 points if you're a fan. Great story, graphics, and scenarios, with average gameplay and a few clipping issues, but overall, despite the lacklustre DLC, I enjoyed it.

AdMMM

Congrats to wanosd for having the glorious honour of winning the inaugural Summer Gamerscore Challenge! I'll recheck and update the scores that TheChrisD posted before the end of the day. I'm looking forward to the next one! Christmas?

NunianVonFuch

Grand. I know I finished Bully in the break between July and August, but was that 400 points worth to overtake Corcaigh and claim 7th and entry into the Uefa Cup? It's squeeky bum time! Also congrats to the champ Wanosd and all those others ahead of me: The Batman IRL, limerickred, lamposts, TheChrisD, AdMMM and possible Corcaigh.
