Well, can it be done? I don't want to do it, i'm not fussed about gamerscore but say in king kong or graw, if u made urself godly would u still unlock achievements? If so thats a wee bit silly.

Ah good I guess theres not too much point in blocking them as the score is only for fun, you're only cheating urself tbh.

Yeah it's been mentioned here previously about the GRAW ones.

I don't agree with it tbh but each to his own I guess.

if you ask me ghostrecon was fun toplay through twice without cheating because it was fun, and thyey need a super hard mode as hard wasnt hard.

you shouldnt get points if you cheat, but sometimes its errelevant if you use god modeornto toget an achievemnt for exsample finding all the goldnugets in gun or finding all artifacts ontomb raider

Game developers should make a couple of achievements or so where you need to collect things in a game, this eliminates the possibility of someone cheating to get every achievement. (Y)

i know on at least battlefield it's easy to do it. i see people all the time that have all the medals. which i think is impossible.

mjmaskrey
29/Jun/06, 07:41 PM
Lol it's not impossible to get all the medals! Hard yes....impossible no. Took me ages to get the 3 medals I have as I was trying to pick them up during regular playing...to get them you have to forfeit that and work purely for the achievements which helped em get the Army Cross the other day.

Likelihood is though that people will start their own servers so they can kill each other to get the medals. I'd only resort to this if I no longer wanted the game and wanted to get rid quick (a la Topspin).

Dont cheat. Seriously, it ruins the point of the game. I cheated in oblivion, got 500,000 dollars. Started over, never had as much fun with a game since Jak and Daxter 1

i earned nearly all my medals the hard way but some were just solid, kill 4 peeps with the knife? i dont think so

How can you do that?:unsure:

How can you do that?:unsure:
you can hook up your mem card to your pc via a usb mod
then just copy em over, when you just start the game, the achievements pop up, it just idiotic, cheaters

Don't think you can. Game Saves are locked to your gamercard. If the gamesave wasn't created with your gamercard the achievements dont work. I am quite sure I'm right on this one

Do you want to provide evidence that back's up your statement?

JJBDude
29/Jun/06, 10:13 PM
Well I read a few threads on that messageboard a while back and people do say that they are getting the achievement. If we are to check we will see that they would have got all the achievements on the same day, I'll check now. That'll be evidence.

It voids your warranty downloading save games, apparently. :)

phatmuther
30/Jun/06, 01:15 AM
ha yeah never thought of it like that, putting un authorised files on the 360 hard drive

unlucky! :D

JJBDude
30/Jun/06, 07:54 AM
But it is authorised as the owner of the save is willingly let people download his save. Surely....?

nah, YOUR putting something that SHOULDNT be put on the 360 and microsoft WILL see that as voidind you warranty :)

I can see it could be good for crap games. Like Amped. Had it. Completed it. Couldnt be assed to finish it. Sold it.

Yet there are 500 more gamerpoints I could get.

Knife, gun, fist, cup whatever can get my hands I can kill with it. Trust me Tobez, you don't want to fight me. RBF, I don't think it has much to do with the nationality, it all depends on the person.

Yeah killer's got a lawnmower. Beat that emo boy!

I have a strimmer. I can pick that up and mash your face with it. I would like to see you try and mash my face with a lawnmower

i just signed up for the site, just to see what it was like, it looks like to me, you need Xplorer360, which looks pretty cool, but i might download xplorer360, not for cheating, but for media purposes.

So your going to mod your memory card or get the adapter for the xbox 360 hdd.... otherwise this program is no use to you whatsoever

that is really pointless, its like throwing away 50£, why!

JJBDude
30/Jul/06, 11:33 PM
Haha I found the link now Phatmuther. :D

But I'm not going to do it, seems I was mistaken into thinkign Ranking Points were Career Points. I could have easily gotten the achievement on Top Spin 2, but silly user error has gotten the better of me here. Oh well.

i wonder if it could do xbox 1 saves then i could get all my saves from old xbox on to my 360 and that would be quality

yep you can do that (Y)
saves from the first xbox can be used on the 360

JJBDude
31/Jul/06, 12:06 AM
But surely it's going to void your warranty, which is something I wouldn't risk doing.

I would like to have it done though, get my gamesaves from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 onto my 360 and finish playing them off.

Raisedbyflames
31/Jul/06, 12:09 AM
void your warenty yeah mabeybut its nto going to brake your360 unless you mess with the files on their. also if your 360 does break get them deleated off the drive

JJBDude
31/Jul/06, 12:12 AM
But I mean you never know when your 360 might play up. My friend's just suddenly got the 3 red lights the other day and he had to send it back to Microsoft. If that happens to you and your warrenty is void your screwed.

phatmuther
31/Jul/06, 12:14 AM
oh for sure, it DOES void your warranty (Y)

What about secret achievements (that now one know's about) put into the disc's that give you minus xxxxxx amount of points.


Would be fun to see all of the top gs lads fighting to get back to 0 gamerscore

MS will not know if you have used a gamesave from the net. Unless you do a hardware hack then they are never going to know. They don't delve that deep when repairing them. Also you got to be some dumb person if you tell em.
