Well, Xbox borrowed that rarity thing Sony had first with the update. You get a percentage of gamers completed number and a special sound when you unlock a very rare achievement.
Yea, I wanted to play Borderlands on XBO and gain achievements again. Unfortunately The Handsome Collection doesn't have Borderlands 1, so I thought I'd replay it anyway since it's backwards compatible. I'm not focusing on achievements so much this time though. I'm just going to play the story with Mark and try and build my character in some fun way. I started today with a Soldier and am focusing on Assault Rifles and my turret special skill. I just started getting weapons with elemental effects and am using mostly fire based ones because you're fighting humans and skags mostly in the beginning levels.
Following right along.
You start gaining Paragon levels once you reach level 70. I noticed you tend to get to about level 45 or 50 after one complete run of the story. So paragon levels will begin while you're doing Adventure mode where you hunt for bounties and do Nephalem Rifts. It's pretty deep into the game, in other words.
Yea, it was to celebrate one or two years of backwards compatibility, but they didn't advertise it at all. If I hadn't heard about it on a podcast, I wouldn't have known.
On XBO, there's usually a progress bar for achievements that would use it. I'm keeping track of bounties in Diablo that way. That's a fairly new update though. It wasn't like that before last year.
I've been considering rentals at the library or Gamefly again recently. I may do it for the games I know I'll finish in one weekend, or ones I'm not sure I'll like. I probably wont though. I just like going to the store too much.
I'm started to trade in a lot of stuff. I just know I'll never get to them anyway. Might as well get some value for them when I can.
I played the Dark Tristram thing the other day. So pixely. Pretty short too. It was kind of neat to see my Witch Doctor's pets in pixelated form, though.
I have Netflix again, but I've only had time for the occasional TV episode, that's 22 minutes. Maybe I'll look it up tomorrow though.
I got some audio book nonfiction stuff this week, but I also got two new Halo books of the paper type. Halo: New Blood is pretty exciting to me right now. Maybe I was just in a funk.
Oh yea. I forgot you played that already.
