    Off the top of my head I can't think of exact examples but I've definitely seen both a seeming misunderstanding of the locked/unlocked achievements system, and weird pre-release title updates that top the list up to 1000G.

    Probably most of this normally happens behind the scenes before any lists hit the scanners, we're just getting live updates on the learning process :D

    A bit different, but Rayman Fiesta Run (Win 8) Achievements released with 200G.

    They later released a title update that added new achievements but that update also changed the total score for the original game from 200G to 175G (+25G for title update).

    So yes, you can also change it post-release.

    Slight updates to the article – our leading suspicion is that a tester might have started unlocking live achievements early, prompting a list scan before the list had been finalized. There may be more changes ahead.

    I’ve talked about this specifically with Harmonix ans RB4. They pave us 200G on a $30 expansion a year later that could have within the rules be 1k

    They told me that to be fair tomPlayStsrion they screwed us. I replied that Sony’s deficiency’s are not our problem. I then suggested that they simply change the values. This I was told was impossible without patching the game

    A few months later I spoke with someone on the Xbox OS team and asked if this was true, as it had been on the 360

    The answer is absolutely not, it’s basically a spreadsheet and a phone call to get it injected because it’s all server side. 5 minutes

    The SE team should get big credit for listening. Every developer should do this, ans MS needs to refuse to certify the uneven, or at least educate as to the backlash they bring.

    It's highly relevant on this site, but personally I'm more concerned with the quality of the port than with the achievements values. I hope this "weirdness" isn't an indication of larger problems with the game.

    FYI, if you've got an odd number for your achievements that you'd like to get rid of, Lord of the Rings card game on game pass awards 14 points per achievement with the first few being easy unlocks. Of course it does mean that you'll have to abandon the game shortly after starting it.

    So the total Gamerscore went down by 50 points... I guess they are still trying to figure things out...

    Huh? RB4 launched with 1K, the Rivals achievements added ontop of the base game list.

    Ashen

    1137 gamerscore at present, full of achievements for 17 gamerscore..

    I was going to make a comment about how I no longer cared because it took so long, but it's not the game I was thinking of.

    What is the name of the indie game they announced years ago where you make a space station out of random objects like school busses and such?

    Project Gotham Racing 3 Achievements

    Released with 900 and two title updates brought it to 1000. Of course this was a launch title so really it was long before it was standard for games to have 1000.

    Actually, some of the most fun I had was trying to round out my score. Back in the day I had a few 7's or 1's or 9's or something like that from some very early 360 games. I was coming up on 123,456 as my gamerscore and I had a lot of fun figuring out which achievements I had to get in order to hit my mark. A few from Ghost Recon...which I think might have been the one to throw it off initially...oh and more recently some LEGO Pirates.

    Rivals came out a year later. Under the base Xbox rules, you may add 250G/quarter, 1k a year. So there was zero issue with adding 1k to the total

    honestly, this should have been an issue. just complete the game and it would round out. I guess for me things are different for I live with a 1 or a 6 at the end of my Gamerscore due to the shitty Ghost Recon.

    These guys need to call up the Ashen devs and tell them to do that same LOL
