You know you´re a hunter when...

Last week I talked about the collector, but do you know what works well with a collector? That´s right, a hunter! A hunter likes to earn achievements/trophies, you could say the full name would be achievement/trophy hunter. It´s not a suprise that a hunter and a collector are more often than not one and the same person but it doesn´t always have to be that way. Sometimes a hunter just likes to earn as many achievements/trophies as he or she can, but doesn´t really collect them. It´s more about trying to get as many as he or she can, not actually completing games or getting specific achievements/trophies like a collector most likely would.




How do you recognize a hunter?




* A hunter usually has a lot of games on his or her profile, not always completed though.


* Most hunters have a high gamerscore compared to the years of gold membership.


* If it purely for getting achievements then don´t be suprised to find a lot of single player games on their profile.


* The same can be said about the type of games they play, usually easy games where you can earn a lot of achievements in a short time.




Things you might not know about hunters:




- A friendly hunter will make guides on youtube showing you how to get achievements/trophies.


- Hunters sometimes work in groups, something they do for multiplayer achievements/trophies.


- The life of a hunter is a busy life, always looking for more achievements/trophies!


- Hunters often rent or borrow games instead of buying them, this saves them money and they´ll do their best to get as many achievements/trophies in the time they rent or borrow a game.




I think a lot of people can be considered as a hunter, I´d say everyone that plays for achievements/trophies could be considered as one. But maybe that´s a bit too easy, I mean just because you earn achievements/trophies doesn´t mean you´re a hunter. Perhaps if you go specifically for achievements/trophies then that makes you a hunter! I enjoy hunting for achievements, it also gives some games a longer life as you want to get as many achievements/trophies in one game, maybe you even want to complete the game by getting all of them. It´s not always difficult, but sometimes it can be a big challenge to get them all. I guess the life of a hunter isn´t always an easy one but I don´t think hunters get bored that easily!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
