Anyone gold star the final countdown yet?

I have no issue with a challenge but the stark contrast with the rest of the achievements is a bit overkill.

I feel the same way. It's just seems way out of line compared to the rest.

I'm just disappointed, because I've gotten every achievement in Rock Band 1 & 2, but Beatles and Lego, I'm not sure I ever will. Beatles because I can't get any of my friends to invest the time needed to get the three-part harmony achievement, and Lego because of this achievement. Too hard.

On the other hand, it isn't out of the realm of possibility, just very difficult.

I dunno about you guys, but does anyone remember beberle2 aka ben, at the time he was like 9 years old he was good enough to FGFC basically any rhythm game 'cept the first 3 GHs..

point being, there are old people that aren't good at all, and kids that are bizarrely good, so I don't get what 'family/kid game' has to do with everything being easy.

Sure, songs like wahnthac aren't gonna be in there, but that's not because of the difficulty, but because they sound horrible to most people, and aren't family oriented at all.

Besides, there's plenty of easy stuff to choose from, and if there wouldn't be any hard songs, most of those kids would get bored of rhythm games within a few months after FCing every jonas brother song ever released.

What's wrong with having a few achievements that are really hard to get? Do people just want every game to be Naruto (or whatever that was) and give you 1,000 points in a few minutes? I am angry that Dirt 2 really doesn't have any skill based achievements and you can get 1,000 from just grinding. I am not proud of my 1250/1250 on Oblivion but I am proud of my 200/200 on Castlevania SoTN. I'm proud of my 1060 on Mirror's Edge.

I don't mind difficult trophies/achievements, but my frustration with this sort of trophy is that you have a game like this with completely different ways of playing it (the different instruments) and because of that, there are going to be some people who literally will never be able to get a trophy like this.

That includes me. I'm a drummer, and I'm damn close to getting the Final Countdown trophy because I'm alright at guitar as well, but if this were a trophy requiring 100% of some difficult song on expert vocals, I'd be screwed. My OCD really doesn't want that to happen.

In the future, if they have more trophies like this, I really hope they don't make them require playing on expert or at least let us do them in practice mode.

Seems like the new trend this year is to put in 1 or 2 really hard-nosed achievements in each game.

Seems so, and I really like it this way.

[BevoTheWarrior]

I gold starred it but I only got about 90% on the solo.

TB:RB has like 5 hard-nosed trophies

Thanks for making it virtually impossible to get platinum

As for L:RB, The Final Countdown solo, in order to FC the solo it looks like you'll need to use tapping. I don't own the game, but by the looks of the charts, tapping is the easiest way to go.

I have a feeling if I do get this game, this trophy will also be a pain to get.

I don't care about achievements, so this doesn't affect me. /thread

j.k.

Now then, I like the idea of having a couple hard achievements. It adds a little extra challenge for the player.

[mellorogue]

I got gold star and 100% solo it wasnt all too hard, and i am two achievements away from 1000G.

[CaptainKicker]

I got it + 1000G in the game.
