When achievements/trophies don't unlock

Maybe you're not really an achievement or trophy hunter but it still sucks when it doesn't unlock when you should've gotten it. Sometimes the achievement/trophy is stuck in some kind of limbo zone, then the achievement/trophy is busy unlocking (a message says so on the achievement/trophy) but somehow it doesn't happen. So what do you do?


Help, what do I do when my achievements/trophies aren't unlocking?


You can always try the classic trick of turning your console off and then on again, hopefully that fixes it but unfortunately that's not the big answer for every issue. Sometimes you need to contact Microsoft or Sony but they can't do much for you either, some will try to give you some tips of removing your profile from your console and then install it again. Sometimes this works but achievements/trophies can be nasty assholes and that sometimes means that it still won't unlock. The worst part is when the achievement/trophy is unlocked on your screen but for everyone else it's not unlocked, I had this happen to me several times in Max Payne 3 when I got achievements in Max Payne 3 dlc but apparently Xboxlive couldn't register that properly and so I got screwed with that. This is why I also advice you to check the achievements/trophies in the list before you play, if they're in the achievement/trophy list then you can unlock them (this mostly counts for dlc) but if they're not in the list just yet then that can give you trouble with trying to unlock them. So you might want to wait a moment before you play. Unless you don't really care about achievements/trophies and just want to play the game.


Does it happen a lot that you don't get achievements/trophies when you should've gotten them?


If with a lot you mean every week then I would say no, but it does happen every now and then. Just recently in Rainbow Six Siege I unlocked a couple of secret achievements but somehow they never popped and are stuck in the unlock limbo so the message appears on the achievements that they're busy with unlocking but somehow they just don't unlock. It did help with some that I turned my console off and then on again, some others I got by getting the same achievement again and then I did get it for some reason. The thing is that achievements and also trophies can be weird, sometimes they just don't work properly and as much as that sucks that's just the way it is. You can complain and whine about it as much as you want but sometimes there's just not much you can do about it. I guess sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you're unlucky.

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...
