Do the combo achievement against the final boss - well, the one before the actual last boss

I was keeping track as I went through the game on my second run (<100 elika saves + all light seeds + 12 hours) so I wouldn't have to sit there for 30 minutes trying to do it, but I guess I'll have to cheese it out. The annoying thing about the last boss is that the area is so small that the wall/ledge ends your combos too early. Why can't all games have built-in achievement progress trackers?!?

Anyone figure out exactly which times you have to play to get the achievement for eating at specific meal times?

Well, seems there's gonna be 3 different FO3 packs, the first one is gonna be the one that takes place in Anchorage, AK, and will cost 800points. I assume the other 2 will be the same price.

Post by: chronovore on January 26, 2009, 10:16:42 AM: Taking a break from the variety and quality of Saints Row 2 to play through The Incredible Hulk. Not Ultimate Destruction, sadly... I hear that's better.

This basically seems like Crackdown without the driving. Or shooting. It's great that it tracks every little thing, and uses it to determine your power-ups, but unfortunately it also seems to put even the low-tier abilities tied to story progression. Meh. It's got a pretty good camera for as much crap as it's keeping track of.

Post by: Bebpo on January 26, 2009, 06:04:35 PM: I've been playing Tales of Hearts DS slowly and I've realized I hate handheld games that are longer than 15-20 hours. I cannot sit and play a handheld system for more than an hour or so. So these 30/40/50 hour games end up eating a month or two of my time before I finish them.

Hopefully I'll be done with this at least before RGG3 comes out. A REAL console game.

yeah, I get too fidgety after an hour or so of handheld gaming. The pro is that I can pick up and play handheld games much easier than console games.

on the last stage.

For those that want the 6 meals a day achievement: the times are 8am 10am 12pm 4pm 6pm and 12am

I just waited until the time was on-the-hour locally then went into system settings, changed the timezone to adjust the time to one of the above, booted up level 2, quit, repeat
