    Hell let loose let’s go can’t wait
    That's what I said until I read the forums. Seems like cheevo progress gets wiped if you quit the game. And it's a rather grindy game as well. Dealbreaker for me until it gets fixed. Same as Figment but I stupidly played that already. Damn that Bug Squasher achievement angry
    It's never getting fixed, it's been that way since basically the start
    So if u quit the game do the ach stop tracking
    They typically don't "stop tracking" but if you quit the game before it ends you don't get xp (which is needed for a lot of the achievements) and your tracker may not actually update. It's a really dumb system.
    This is good to know. However this sounds like a different issue from the complete loss of achievement progress that people are reporting in the forums.
    Sounds like a very new issue then, I thankfully 100%ed the game long ago
    I’ll have to look but I’m defo gonna give this a try

    Well well well been on the edge to buy RE 2 so many times but the back log never allowed. So happy to see it free now


    And Valhalla yum yum, Odyssey is enough tiresome though
    Not to nitpick, but how do you have more time to play if the game is free? ;)

    Valhalla is a monster of a game, if you got tired of Odyssey, prepare to put in some hours here.
    Hahahaha spot on, but believe me it has a logical explanation, do bear with me


    When you have huge backlog and game pass where you have a countdown timer on your head that game will leave in an year (few exceptions) you tend to not buy stuff, only and only if you can't resist. Many games ones interested in he doesn't buy and in some time temptation goes less and we plan to play something but when is not clear


    So RE 2 in game pass puts a timer on its head, I know I have to play it in an year otherwise I will have to buy later, so that how I will make time for it, get it, my twisted explanation 😉🤐😂

    Yeah I know since AC turned rpg, my playtime and love of series has decreased significantly, I don't have time for very long games anymore despite AC being one of my most fav series for a long time


    Hopefully it won't be longer then twice of odyssey. But perhaps I will buy it later sometime

    Haha I understand.
    I have no GP but had a backlog myself. I bought Xbox quite late so there were a lot of games I had to go through. But by now I'm almost there where the only games I didn't play yet are about 1 years old - which is ok as I would wait for patches and DLC anyway.
    For me to not make a backlog again, I made a rule - no new game bought until I finished an old one. Realised there is no need to spend money if it only sits on the shelf.
    As for AC, I like to do everything in the games, so you can probably finish it later, but to compare, Odyssey took 232 hours, Valhalla is 301 hours and I still need the last 11 mastery challenge.
    While the game is fun I wish it would be 200 hours tops.

    Would be down for a pc stack of RE2 not gonna lie. I never played the Enhanced version cos I'd already got my 100% by then.

    Will the PC version of RE2 have achievements?
  • Posted on 06 January 24 at 00:49
    if RE2 gets a PC stack I'll cum my pants, but there's no way, these games that get added to game pass don't get stacks anymore

    Great games are coming...

    Bought Valhalla complete for 20€ and Resident Evil 2 Deluxe for 12.49€ some time ago...
    At least I hope that the dlcs are worth it...
    Infinite ammo bonus weapons dlc made RE2 remake playable... without those, it was horrible experience. Overhyped game for sure, biggest disappoitment for 2019 in my opinion... actually, biggest disappointmed of the last decade. I didn't enjoy remake but original RE2 is one of the best games ever.

    Have you maybe considered that you're bad at the game if you need Infinite ammo to progress through it

    No I haven't consired since I've played through all previous Resident Evil titles without problems in Normal difficulties and higher... But in this shitty, overhyped, badly designed mess that is RE2 remake, I couldn't even get past through police station on Normal difficulty without Infinite Ammo... Too limited ammo and other resources, too much RNG when shooting zombies (heck, even 2 shotgun hits to zombies head in point-plank range didn't always guarantee a kill...) and zombies were horrible bullet sponges that can take over 12 bullets to kill them...And don't say you can run past them, I won't do that when I play game first time, there should be enough ammo to take down almost all enemies you encounter, otherwise is just bad desing since this is RE game, not an Alien Isolation. In original, RE2 zombies in police station only needed 4-6 bullets to kill them. On top of that, level design was confusing, gun sound effects were lame and worst of all, game didn't have that fantastic feeling that original had... It wasn't even that scrary. 4 out of 10 from me.
