New achievements

I’m done. You’ve just won my internetz for the day. GG, be sure to tip your bartender tonight.

Why do you care so much? Just play the game because you love it?

I do play because I enjoy it. I also like the feel of something to work towards. Do you not like hard work and the fruits of your labor?

I don’t like to work particularly hard when playing video games

I like a challenge of completing a games, but dislike when the bar keeps getting moves over and over through the same exact content. It’s annoying and feels like a waste of time. Normally it’s a fun endeavor, but now it feels like work. I work enough in real life. I don’t want to ā€œwork hardā€ on something that’s supposed to be a stress relief after working hard all day at my job.

I work 10+ hours a day. GoW is for relaxing.

I’m just ready to hear what we are voting on/choosing for September so we can get this over with. Any news on when we will hear what the plan is for coordinating ā€œcommunity achievementsā€?

I honestly hope they listen to fan feedback and do what most fans want… no more achievements

:rofl:

I’d love that, but you know it won’t happen. I’ll bet there will be a few per ā€œgame modeā€ with 1 grindy horde one and 1 grindy MP one. :tired_face::gun:

Lol I really wonder what’d be the results if they did some official poll on here with the achievement options and one option was simply no more achievements.

I think I’ve seen only less than 5 people post on here praising new achievements but maybe they’d all come out of the wood work if some official poll was released

How do you know it will be September for the community achievements? It’s almost August now so not much time left and prepping updates takes a good while.

Oh and even though I have all the cheevos for Gears 4, if the option ever came up to vote ā€˜no more achieves’, I would pick it. I play Gears twice a week for fun now and I’d prefer to keep it that way so my OCD doesn’t get the best of me.

TC said September would be the last list

Bump- just wanted to give a heads up. An official thread will be made tomorrow for all you guys to throw in some ideas for the last custom-made achievements. Start your brainstorming! Since this is going to be an official thing now, I might as well pitch in a few ideas of mine. Nothing grindy or anything, I promise. :grin:

ā€œSisters are doing it for themselvesā€
Win a Horde match with

Actually that title seems familiar, have we had it in Gears ?

Obviously need a group to do that and honestly it’s not a challenge at all. Truthfully, why even add achievements if it’s just doing the same thing over again with different characters?

But then again, with so many achievements already is there anything left to do that’s unique anyways? It’ll be interesting to see what others come up with. I seem to lack a creative side so I’ll likely never come up with one. :innocent:

Exactly. The term achievement actually means very little in a lot of these and other games I might add. Also you are limited to the mechanics of the game of course.

I like this a lot. Fun suggestion like this are what I’m hoping to see. Or achievements like the 5 soldiers on lift. It was tough but I enjoyed the challenge and it isn’t something you have to grind for days.

I actually agree, there is no new ground to break. Everything has been covered.

The only aspect untouched by achievements I think are the easter eggs. There are actually loads of relatively big easter eggs in the game which I think lots of people may not be aware of. I would honestly love a list consisting exclusively of doing the easter eggs.

It shows people a side to the game they might not have seen, becuase lets be honest every other aspect of the game has been done to death. It would be a nice way to say goodbye to gears 4 and get hyped for gears 5.

A couple that I’m aware of/can recall of the top of my head

Obtain ā€œDespicable Youā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Obtain ā€œTrackshotā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Obtain ā€œDoms Tomsā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Obtain ā€œMomento Moriā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Obtain ā€œRaging Buccanneerā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Obtain ā€œA Real Gunā€ (or be in a coop game where someone does)

Ride a Reaver (or be in a coop game where someone does)
Witness Santa Oscar

Witness the Lift Easter Egg (Hard Hats)
Witness the Fuel Depot Easter Egg (Disco)
Witness the Mercy Easter Egg (Organ)
Witness the Harbor Easter Egg (Leviathan)
Witness the Glory Easyer Egg (Moutain)

As that thread is now up, and this one was started in relation to a previous round of achievements, I will close this to avoid confusion.

Looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with.
