- Cutter20, on 01/08/2008, -9/+81This is such a heartbreaking, agonizing story!
Being denied your "nerd points", as I call them, is a travesty of justice. - joegibes, on 01/08/2008, -0/+36Re-kill all my targets in Assassin's Creed? Get all of the skulls in Halo 3? Finish a solo career in Rock Band again?
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -2/+36From one gaming geek to another ... THAT SUCKS
- xjbri, on 01/08/2008, -14/+45Possible Fix: Re-achieve the achievement.
- IIIBTW, on 01/08/2008, -5/+35Un-freaking-believable....
- dunezone, on 01/08/2008, -3/+25Has anyone noticed saving times increasing? My brother has noticed it, a few of my friends have, today I was waiting 30 seconds for saves and download checks.
- Link00seven, on 01/08/2008, -4/+25Oh silly silly trolls...
- norman619, on 01/08/2008, -1/+22LONG LIVE LASERDISC!!!!
- halogenworks, on 01/08/2008, -3/+22Don't worry Microsoft is going to make it all better and give us a free Xbox Live Arcade game for our troubles.
- 42Vindictive, on 01/08/2008, -3/+19Forgive me for being thick, but doesn't saving your game have no interaction with XBL?
- porplem, on 01/08/2008, -2/+17As an achievement whore, I can say, that sucks.
- Norochj, on 01/08/2008, -2/+17It is especially a problem if you no longer own the game.
- timmage89, on 01/08/2008, -8/+23A friend of mine randomly went down 5 levels in call of duty 4 a few days ago.Come on Microsoft, hurry up and fix this!
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -6/+19HAHAHA lame...he paused the game to stare at his achievement for 2 minutes...
- CReyes4182, on 01/08/2008, -4/+16I know I had fun playing COD4 this holiday season.. did you? No.. oh that sucks.
- Frogee, on 01/08/2008, -1/+1210,000 kills?
- kingfoot, on 01/08/2008, -1/+12giving replay value to games no longer playable after you beat them... smart move!
- bejayel, on 01/08/2008, -3/+13you said butt *****
- inactive, on 08/11/2008, -4/+14Okay, I'm starting to hate the Xbox 360...I could deal with sending my 360 in to get it repaired...I could deal with Xbox Live being down for a few weeks...but now *this*? Find better ***** IT workers, Microsoft
- BNash577, on 01/08/2008, -8/+18OMG 5ive hole lvls?! Oh noes, dose ur friend has insurence?!
- arivall, on 01/08/2008, -2/+12If such a travesty is true, I shalt slam head against wall, multiple times.
- norman619, on 01/08/2008, -2/+11I think it's pathetic you cared enough to actually look that up.
- ShugNinx21, on 01/08/2008, -0/+9They do back up regularly. But if something goes wrong and they have to roll back then someone somewhere is going to have some data loss and that's even if they backed up every 6 hours.
- TheReport, on 01/08/2008, -4/+13what do you expect, its microsoft, just wait for a service pack or something
- justinp, on 01/08/2008, -3/+11This happened to me in COD4. I unlocked the Kill 3 Enemies with a Knife (or 4, I forget) achievement and the next day... *poof* As if it never happened.
- MattnJax, on 01/08/2008, -4/+11It's true though. PS3 has dedicated servers.
- PedleZelnip, on 01/08/2008, -1/+8Yeah, Yaris. :p
- logga0, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7you're an idiot.
- rednaxela825, on 01/08/2008, -4/+11Man I'm really starting to be more and more upset over Xbox Live. I haven't really cared about the outage because well, I have a life. But earlier today I wanted to play and my account went corrupt for no reason whatsoever and so I tried recovering it. Lucky me, account recovery is still screwed up :(
...And to everyone crying about this
Go outside and do something - bills534, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6Forza 2 post your track time to XBL after every race before it saves your game. Usually this happens quickly but recently it has taken 1-3 minutes to accomplish.
- CReyes4182, on 01/08/2008, -4/+10I'm confused can you use achievements to get stuff? Or is it just a trick to get people to buy more games you know.. to out score your friends?
- kingfoot, on 01/08/2008, -3/+9a girlfriend?
- JeremyTTU, on 01/08/2008, -5/+11I was actually kinda upset that Master Chief wasn't holding a Guitar Hero guitar!
- dunezone, on 01/08/2008, -1/+7Yeah, but the XBL problems started occurring after the last major update to the system. In addition to that, for example in guitar hero it updates your score on the leader boards which involves XBL.
- 3rdragon, on 01/08/2008, -0/+6are you the only exception???? I guess you're special or a MS employee....sorry I'm sarcastic but the odds are against you
- Twizlex, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6The same could be said for any game saves or the crap people go on 40-man raids for in MMORPGs. When it boils down to it, it's all digital nothingness, but it still represents actual time and effort that you don't want wasted because of some screw-up that is out of your hands. If you really feel it doesn't matter, than you should never play any videogame that can't be beaten in 15 minutes.
- s0m31john, on 01/08/2008, -5/+10I was set back to level 1 in CoD4 today.
- RevToTheRedline, on 01/08/2008, -6/+11I laughed.
- Stochio, on 01/08/2008, -5/+10I'm pretty sure that the act of using Xbox live removes real life achievements.
- kingfoot, on 01/08/2008, -4/+9I know I'm excited for a similar system on Home. Because then I'll get even more from my games/console, and still pay nothing.
- kingfoot, on 01/08/2008, -5/+10dude just shut up. you're ruining it for the rest of us who are basking quietly.
- bejayel, on 01/08/2008, -6/+10umm... So?
- DrZocktahedron, on 01/08/2008, -1/+5If I dont have my achievements, I dont have anyrthing!
My Xbox is already frustrating me with the several different errors. - ShugNinx21, on 01/08/2008, -3/+7The saddest moment of your entire life thus far is not getting an achievement unlocked when you earned it on your 360...
I wish I had the charmed life that you have had. - neteffex78, on 01/08/2008, -2/+6apparently not..
- CameronakaCam, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4I seriously feel for you. To some people that might not be a big deal, but to people like you and me this a really big deal. Oh and for those that say that we have no life. You couldn't be more wrong. I know plenty of people(like me) that are hardcore gamers with gamerscores of 10,000 and up that are great athletes, great students, devoted to numerous other pursuits and that can easily get a girlfriend. Just because you spend a lot of time gaming doesn't mean you can't have a life.
- ki85squared, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4You would care if you've been having persistent issues with a service you _paid_ for.
- vileS, on 01/08/2008, -2/+6You don't have to worry about this on PSN because there isn't any traffic.
- staticneuron, on 01/08/2008, -2/+6All I know is that I have both an I never really cared that much about achievments until Uncharted for the PS3. Unlocking achievments in that game net you costumes, color changes, the ability to invert the world, weapons and so forth. The other games that had something similar but not as interesting were heavenly sword and ratchet. By far out of all the games that I have playe with achievments uncharte just made the most sense.
- samssf, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4Uh, well... I've experienced this problem (but with Halo 3). So you might want to avoid commenting unless you can provide evidence for your claim that their stories are "definitely not true".
