As did I. I was fucking livid considering how fiddly getting to the top was.

To get the Cheevo you need to go from the very top, all the way to the ground in one go. IIRC it doesn't count if you brush the side of the building/bounce off a ledge/die from accumulated bumps and scrapes as you fall.

I'm not sure if I'm misremembering on this bit, but I think there was a bit of water somewhere around the bottom of the tower too - that'd be enough to break the fall.

Crackdown was a great game :metul:

Yes, I found the spinners were the bits that really messed me up. Without those being so brutal I possibly could've finished as the beats and the trackers were hard, but reasonable. The unskippable intros made failure even more painful.

I might dig out the DS and play a bit more Ouendan.

Might even remain one of my favourite games of all time, and I'm certainly not changing my avatar any time soon.

Nor has True Trophies, really. But TA seems to still be going strong.

I just think they were late to the market with PC as there are tons of them already.

I signed up for a bit of a nose at my stats. Unsurprisingly, Binding of Isaac comes out top of my list -

Not really sure why Hell Girls has that high a TSA score - it was a doddle to 100%

I only try to chase achievements in arcade-like games where it's fun to do so. Usually there's always a couple that are downright impossible for my (lack of) reflexes. So no, i don't 100%. Only games i did were adventure games who i couldn't avoid the achievements by just playing normally:

I just remembered what a lovely game Odallus is. Brazil is really fertile ground for retro goodness these days.
