these last 2 achievements are such a pain in the ass. thinking i'm gonna spend a bit more time fucking with these and then i'm gonna trade it in towards MS points for the RDR undead nightmare.
a buddy and i were doing co-op, then we lost connection, so who knows if it saved our progress or not. being the person who joins the other's co-op session is confusing, cuz it tells you that you can't save progress...and there's no screen telling you how far along in the story your co-op progress is, similar to the screens in between levels of other games w co-op, like halo or CoD.
and the online is buggy as fuck for the stupid TIR events. players are always lagging and getting dropped, which kicks everyone back to the main menu. and the rotation of events (for ranked, which is how you gotta do the achievements) is inconsistent as hell. you'll get the same shitty events every time and the ones you need to get for the achievement never pop up....and then you gotta listen to that annoying idiot TK every time you're waiting to join a match. and goddamn, those announcers are even more annoying to listen to while you're playing the shitty events. and some games i join with no problem, but my character is outside of the stupid ramsterball during the first even and won't budge, and this carries over even in the next event. lame as hell.
another example of the online gameplay fucking up the replay value of a game....i'd have all of the achievements if it weren't for these last two, and i'm tired of fucking around with this buggy online crap to get them. funny that the only game i've been looking forward to for months is on the chopping block to get traded in after having it for less than a few weeks.
the online co-op is okay when you're just fooling around, but the lack of an infinite mode is a big drawback and takes away most of the replay value, as the story is pretty lame and not worth playing through more than a couple of times. i'd gladly trade the TIR mode for an infinite mode to have fun in, instead of being forced to play the silly story or having a time limit placed on me.
guess i'm just getting jaded and cynical as fuck about gaming these days. but the luster of this game wore off rather quickly. guess it's back to the old-school RE series, then on to the thing for the original xbox. i need to get RDR back from my brother, that's the only game that's came out in almost a year that's held any sort of lasting value.
