Date-based Achievements

[chronovore]

Demi mentioned an Achievement for playing Saints Row 2 on Dress Like a Pirate Day. I don't see that one at X360Achievs, so I think he was joking. But I do recall there was at least one date-based Achievement. Are these normal? How many are there?

While connected to Xbox LIVE, play the game on September 17th.

I'd release a game tomorrow and add a 999 point achievement for playing it on February 29, 2010. It would, of course, validate the date against a remote server.

Demi was talking about an in-game badge. Not an achievement.

The date I was referring to is a multiplayer badge. One of the achievements requires to earn 30 multiplayer badges. By getting the specific date one, you add one to the required amount, rather than grinding money online, you save yourself heaps of time.

The only one that is actually date based is Brothers in Arms.

Thanks. I actually added an item to my to-do list for that damned Badge.

Hey, SCENESTER, it's about to be time to talk like a pirate.

[chronovore]

Christ. Just realized it's going to verify the date against Japanese timezone servers, so there STILL won't be anyone playing anything except deathmatch. Crap.
