Darksiders 2 does work that way, at least on Xbox. I finished that one last night.

Seriously the DOA4 achievement were really generic and boring.
To be honest these achievements aren't much of an improvement. I really liked the Soul Calibur 4 achievements as it actually felt like I achieved something after getting them. It's not an achievement when you take a picture of your fight or invite someone to your party. I suppose they are just showboating some new features DOA5 has, but I digress. Ultimately, I guess we don't know how difficult these titles are, however, seeing as how it actually unlocks a character, I can't imagine it being that hard.

Yeah i agree. But at least its not all about survival, time attack and grades.

Is anyone else really excited about the Power of Two achivement? It says you get it for performing 50 kinds of tag throws. Am I wrong or is that a lot of tag throws?

That's a solid amount of unique tag throws if the wording is correct. I've seen it where the wording is wrong, though, and it could simply mean do a unique tag throw (i.e. a story-linked paid of characters do a throw) 50 times, and not that there are 50 or more unique ones

Yeah that's what I'm worried about. For whatever reason, I've always really liked tag throws.

Perform 50 kinds of character-specific tag throws. That means unique throws unless they dont know how to word things properly. Im pretty sure there's at least close to 40 in DOA4.

We were discussing how wording is often inconsistent in achievement descriptions already.

There was a comment in one of the interview videos (might have been fighter chronicles 1) where they mention they put a lot into creating unique tag throws. Makes me think the 50 kinds could well be accurate. :)
Not a big tag player, but I love seeing new moves! This will likely get me much more into tag.

The Ultimate Hyper Clone has potential to be a pain in the arse depending on how much effort collecting all titles entails. Shouldn't be too much of an issue unless they require something ridiculously over the top, ala Gears of War Seriously achievements.

Survival Master worries me, since DOA4 survival mode was a horrific experience. You'd steamroll through everything, and then suddenly you'd get instantly countered 3 times in a row after some not-so-impressive input reading and be told to try again. Caused me to use the more colourful variety of my vocabulary more than a few times. Good thing TVs don't shout abuse back at you. :oops:

Otherwise this doesn't look too bad at all. Reminds me of T6's achievement list, easy and straightforward bar one or two.

I agree. One of the DOA5 chevos requires you to unlock ALL titles. So basically there could be a title for anything possible in this game. 100 wins in survival, completing a time trial with standard settings and A.I. set on very hard, getting SS in online mode, win 20 ranked matches in a row, etc.

I don't think TN will make it THAT easy.

Same here. Got 1000/1000 last week as well :cool:

Only hard achievement should be "The Ultimate Hyper Clone". Completely depends on title requirements. Also, it'll be dick if you unlock Alpha 152 by getting all the titles.

DOA4 is the only game I know that has 0-point achievements for losing matches. That was awesome.

Agreed. More games should that.

I've thought of that too and that's what worries me. I don't want to miss out on a character (a potential main even) because I can't get some stupid title that I may not even use.

Theres actually 141 in DOA4. So this time there should be even more. So some characters got cut as of now and some added so im guessing around 170-180 tag throws, since even old fighters got new tag throws with other old fighters. Im hoping Alpha will get some tag throws too, maybe with Kasumi, Helena or Lisa.
