Load game.

Press Start button and make profile (create profile optional)

As game starts run to the left and face the oncoming guards - repeatedly press B button till Cutscene is triggered

After cutscene, more guards - do the same thing....After about 1 min 42 secs of pressing B button you have 1000 GS !!

Serious! :D

Play surfs up - 680 points in 3 hours.

Just keep jumping and hitting "B", when you get stoke, get a multiplier and use it - you'll pass everything. You will have to go back for a few idols, but that's the 3rd hour . . .

[stoke]

stoke?
how do you get a stoke?

[jupman]

Play surfs up - 680 points in 3 hours.

And what about the other 320 GS???
Doobi is right, Surfs Up is easy GS.

TMNT : 1 single play through for 1000 points. Should take about 5 hours.

[Noodle]

Got Viva Pinata? (http://pinataisland.info/index.php?title=Main_Page)

[doobiwan]

VP is also points for jam, but there's no way I'm playing it for 50 hours!

Leave game running go to bed ;)

[SpaWnNiNja]

Surf's Up is damn easy... got the full 1000 in 5 hours (i think it was)... Jupman, was it 5???

[RotoRouterZA]

Jupman and Ruslan, they are like GS farmers!! They will ensure that this thread is VERY long!! :D

[doobiwan]

Leave game running go to bed ;)

That's also an excellent idea if you need to swap out your 360 . . . . ;)

[jupman]

Surf's Up is damn easy... got the full 1000 in 5 hours (i think it was)... Jupman, was it 5???

Yip. 5 hours for 1000.

Basketball games also provide really easy GS : NBA 2k6, NBA Live 06, NBA Street Homescourt - All easy GS!!!

[doobiwan]

I like my GS to mean something, I refuse to play Avatar ;)

Some GSW tips for Burnout:
http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/2150/Achieve-ThisBurnout-Paradise/p1/

[jupman]

I am really happy to see that the GS in Paradise is a lot easier to get than Burnout Revenge!!!

I only managed 35 / 1000 for Revenge!!!! :cry:

[RotoRouterZA]

You are just a n00b. I managed over 250 GS in Burnout Revenge!

[stoke]

Okay, I give up .. what's GS?

[Noodle]

Gamerscore

Think of it as like rep on forums :p

[RotoRouterZA]

GS is a way of measuring your xbox manhood or looking at it from another way, how much time your wife allows you to play!

[Ruslan74]

If I recall I only got the full meaning of GS in Gears of War. I paid closer attention to some sorts of Achievements popping up on the screen. :p

Then it kinda ... clicked. :rofl:

[jupman]

Then it kinda ... clicked. :rofl:

And boy oh boy, did it click in a BIG way, hey???!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Ruslan74]

Yeah... until i got some Jupman dude stalking me from CT back last year... :p

No n00b, GS whoring is not about time spent playing....it's about WHAT you play, HOW you play it and WHO can help you boost the multiplayer stuff.....;)

[Ruslan74]

Its also about enduring the games no normal people would rent or buy actually. Some titles are very scary to see to have gone through the pay testing stages before being released!

Superman Returns springs to mind....What a shocker. The dude couldn't even jump!!!!

I hear that games like Vampire Rain & Hour Of Victory are just as bad.

I am also hearing that the upcoming title, Battle of the Pacific is a bit of a shocker - but it's a very easy 1000gs !!!!

[Noodle]

So who will be the first to get this one (http://loot-ninja.com/2008/02/08/if-20-dudes-kiss-you-you-get-25-pts-in-bully-for-xbox-360/) eh?

I wish i had pictures, but i ain't going to hi-jack this thread any longer, instead, i'm going to post what i have in the correct place.

Wearing underpants on my head automtically ups my coolness ratio with 30%

[Stool]

u 2 time wasters must go somewhere else with ur underwear fantasies.;)

next achievement target is completing rainsbow six vegas on veteran, just a few more stages to complete. killing irina tonight :)

[Ruslan74]

I hope you deleted your Normal difficulty save game if you had one in R6 prior to starting it on Veteran....

[Stool]

erm why?

no i didint :(. figured it was same as always that u just have one savegame and it gets overwritten

[jupman]

erm why?

no i didint :(. figured it was same as always that u just have one savegame and it gets overwritten

Nope! The achievement is "glitched" and wont unlock if there is another save game on normal difficulty!

[Noodle]

Man am I glad I have not started this sp yet!

[Stool]

sigh

[Ruslan74]

Yip, thats the problemo with that specific achvs in R6. Sorry. :(

Waahaahaa.... oooo... oh man...hehe... waahaaaa!!!

Rainbow Six Legend Achievement

Finishing Rainbow Six at Realistic Difficulty gets u 90 gamerpoints

[Stool]

on second thought i'm wondering why i'm posting this here. This damn hard work, no whoring required.

[Ruslan74]

one thing that bothers me is that i cant find anywhere on the net talking about this

The Realistic campaign achv is actually 100GS.




30. Rainbow Six Legend: Complete the single player Story Mode at Realistic difficulty.
(100)

It has been said that this achievement cannot be earned if you have already attempted
Story Mode on Normal difficulty unless you play the entire realistic difficulty
through in one go. However, if you have already played on Normal, just delete the
Rainbow Six Vegas checkpoint saves from your hard drive and you should be able to
attempt this as the game will think you haven't attempted it at all.

[Noodle]

Oiy go start your own R6 thread.

Keep this thread about Whoring tips only.

*mumble* *mumble*

[jupman]

Check this article out, the easiest/hardest games to get achievements in.

I must say, i agree with it all except for one thing.......Where is Avatar?????

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news.php?id=622

[Ruslan74]

Avatar must be in the "Press A 5 times to get 100GS" section of games to be honest. :p

[Noodle]

Those are the 06/07 awards.

Guess we will see Avatar as the easiest and Simpsons for the simplest at the end of the year. My votes at least.

In the same breath with EA getting the worst list of achievements "award", looking at what Army Of Two has on offer they might be on the other side of the fence next time round.

[Stool]

stooopid glitched achievement
i finished rainbow six on realistic tonight but no glory :sad:

[SlappY]

wwahahaaaaa!!!!

[jupman]

stooopid glitched achievement

Sorry to hear it!!!

There is nothing worse than glitchy achievements....it's happened to me a couple of times and it really sucks!

[Greydout]

WOTEVA LOTGSW! (LORD OF THE GAMER SCORE WHORES) *SNIGGER*

[Stool]

that rainbow legend is hectically glitched

i restarted the game and was just working my way thru the casinos when all of the sudden the legend achievement kicks in.....:confused: :yeehaw:

[Ruslan74]

lol... well, at least you dont have to worry about it anymore. Congrats. :)

[jupman]

Forgot about this thread...

So, recently i have found myself desperately trying to catch a dude who is ahead of me on the GS leaderboards....and to do that i have stooped to new lows to aquire GS....yes, i admit it....I bought 2 x full priced games (R599) knowing that they would be rubbish, purely for the GS!! Namely Prince Caspian and Wall E.

Haven't played Caspian yet, but finished managed to finish Wall E (despite the abusive messages i received while playing it).

Very easy 900gs......irritating but attainable 1000gs.

Also got 1k for Alone in the Dark and Bourne Conspiracy recently. AITD took some time to get into, but i ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Bourne was really good. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

Also played some NHL07. Also pretty easy 1k (Thanks Rus!!).

Kung Fu Panda is another game with Easy GS. However, it was the first movie to game adaption which i really enjoyed. It was a lot of fun!! Kids and GSW's will like it a lot!!

Next up is Prince Caspian....and some GH: Aerosmith....

[Noodle]

Thanks for the info Jupman :D

On a side note Conan is bad, REALLY REALLY bad! :bitenails:

[jupman]

On a side note Conan is bad, REALLY REALLY bad! :bitenails:

But you see Boobies in Conan!!!!!!!!! Cant be THAT bad.... ;)

[Ruslan74]

Which Conan? PC Conan or old X360 game Conan?

I have to say that I have two Cabela games waiting to be played, I just want to finish with NBA Live 08 first. Then expect to run through the Cabela titles and get into Madden 09 when it arrives.

Nothing like getting closer to the 100k mark.. eish.

[TheBradster69]

100k ... jee wiskers Rus !

we will have to throw a party when you finally do that !

[jupman]

Nothing like getting closer to the 100k mark.. eish.

Despite all of my GSW'ness I have taken a moral stand against these disgusting Cabela games. I will not support any games which glorify that disgraceful "sport" of hunting!!

So as much as it hurts....i will skip the easy 3000gs.....

Yes, you heard me right....and no i am not sick!!!

Must add, though, I have nothing against the people who choose to play them....

-Runs and hides from the scary, angry Russian- ;)

[Ruslan74]

I understand your thoughts on these games, I think hunting deer who are armed would be more fair. Cabela Alaskan Adventures is apparently the hardest of games, will let you know later.

Dont worry, there are new NBA and NHL games coming up in October so I hope to win you over with some ice hockey for a change. ;)

[WingNut]

heehee, well... a deer does have SOME sharp, pointy bits:

[jupman]

Finished Prince Caspian last night.

The game is not great, but not bad enough to make me wanna vomit.

Easy 1000 gs!!! And far less frustrating than Wall E.

[SpaWnNiNja]

Finished Caspian last night... started it yesterday too! 9 straight hours for the full 1000/1000 (yes, I am dedicated)!

@Russian Mafia - you got another 2 Cabela's? How?

[Ruslan74]

Nicely done Spawn... very dedicated I see. :)

Yip, got hold of the 2 Cabela games from dvdcrave when they were on special. :)

[SpaWnNiNja]

Now I got Wall*E and Bourne to finish... my goal is to have these done before Saturday night (in case I go out).

Caspian gave me my 70K last night... But I've set myself a little target to try get to 75K within a week.

Just to recap, I have 70745GS and titles waiting to be played are:
Bourne
Wall*E
Bionicle Heroes
Tomb Raider Anniversary (got 200 so far)

Damn! I was doing just fine until this GS bug bit me again last night.

[Ruslan74]

Go at it!!! There is someone you need to catch who doesnt deserve his score! ;)

( Not Jupman in case he thinks I am being nasty )

[jupman]

MY HERO!!!!!!!!! :D

[Ruslan74]

I will have to report you to the authorities as you are doubleposting comrade.

Cant you send Spawn down to JHB with Caspian too? :D

[jupman]

Sorry, friend, Spawn is booked up for the next few weeks.
He has some work to do on the Orange Box Portal game! Seems he needs to get gold on all maps.

Once that's done, he has some Guitar Hero lined up.

Then i will release him to go to JHB..... ;)

He really is very useful. :D

[Ruslan74]

Cant you make a duplicate? Like a photocopy in color?

:D

[jupman]

Hmm......We need to clone him. :D

[Ruslan74]

So then we can have.... the Clone Wars... wooot! :D

So whats next on your plate Mr Jupman? My googletalk is off coz the darn proxy of ours is dead... :(

[jupman]

I am busy with NBA Live 07 - but the achievs are glitched!! Very frustrating!!! Will end with 650 if no one can help with the MP portion.

After that i need to finish up Battlefield BC, and Orange Box. Got Lego SW Complete Saga waiting as well.

I have ordered some games from my supplier in JHB....just wiating for them to arrive. I went for the slowest, cheapest shipping option!!!!

They are : Madden09, NBA Live08, Spiderwick Chronicles, Golden Compass.

HEHEHEHE!!!! ;) :D

[SpaWnNiNja]

Nice to know I'm wanted!!! But I do think Jup should lay off the crack!

And there's actually 2 gamertags in my sights who don't deserve their positions on the leaderboards *cough-gamesaves-cough*

I pick Jupman... he can spill the beans if he's brave enough?!?!?!

[jupman]

I hate gamesavers!!!

Not sure if i am brave enough at the moment....I will bide my time and drop the clanger when the time is right!!!

Or

Hey, Rus, Why dont you spill the beans!!! ?????

[SpaWnNiNja]

Yeah mobster, why not?

well, so far the one has changed his ways... but he's being watched.

I actually read a link on XBox Cheater Watch about the other person.

[jupman]

I read that article as well. I think it was written by a dude called "Shaun".

[Ruslan74]

True. I just dont have time to tinker with minor complaints though... best solution is to simply overtake the buggers and let them eat your dust?

[SpaWnNiNja]

Well, managed to finish Wall*e and almost done with Bourne... just 4 achieves left.


The guy in my sights bloody got ALL Portal (Orange Box) achievements offline in 1 day. Took me a week to get those achieves, and the Aperature Science achieve is probably the hardest achieve I've gotten - maybe even more difficuly that Mile High Club! Gamesavers make me sad

[jupman]

Gameavers have resorted to gamesaving offline so that you cannot see the time and date achievements were unlocked. There was a plug in for mozilla firefox which, once installed, allowed you to see the time that the achievement was unlocked.
It does look a little suspicious when a "gamer" unlocks all of the Virtua Fighter 5 achievs in the same minute!!

Someone who does not put any value on Gamerscore (which is absolutely fine), will struggle to grasp why us GSW's get upset with this gamesaving. But it is cheating, plain and simple.

Microsoft have started resetting the scores of many cheats but there are still many more.

There is a gamer who I just recently overtook last week - he was a gamesaver. We decided to have a chat to him before we made it public, due to his standing in the community, credit to him - he stopped.

This guy that Spawnninja is talking about is also a proven gamesaver, as soon as Spawn overtakes him his score jumps ahead - crazy. It was the same again this weekend.

I am not normally one to name and shame - but with this oke i dont give a damn. His tag is Head Hancho 10k.

Cheater!

[Stool]

please continue to name these peeps here cos id rather know who to avoid
