Xbox Live offers Gamers a Statistical Assessment of their Gaming Habits
With L.A. Noire I am an hour under the Community average -- but I never unlocked the Achievement for shooting the drivers before they can get out of their cars at Hughes Aircraft so that totally makes sense, right?
As for COD: Black Ops that one caused my jaw to hit the floor and make a wet "smack" sound. Do its fans really average 773 hours in the past 6 months?? If we do the math, that works out to an estimated 180 days -- or 4,320 hours -- which is like... Wow... Who has that kind of time for a single game??
Finally we get to Ticket to Ride, which is only the best Xbox Live Arcade game ever. Seriously, it is probably more fun than should be legal, even when you are playing with an opponent who does not have a firm grasp of the strategies -- but when you get matched to someone who does, it is even more wicked fun! I heartily recommend that you give it a go!
My Achievements
According to the chart over the course of the past 6 months while I have unlocked a massive 434 Achievements, the rest of you averaged only 51 Achievements. Now you might start to wonder if your Gaming Update reporter is some sort of Achievement Whore -- and if you were thinking that well, I cannot blame you!
Heck, when I first saw that chart I actually thought to myself, hey what an Achievement Whore! Then I remembered that that was a statistic about MY gaming and immediately apologized to myself and told me that I really did not think I was an Achievement Whore, and bought myself an ice cream sundae at McDonalds by way of proving that my apology was sincere...
Still, that is a lot of Achievements to unlock, even for a 6 month period -- but then again, I get paid to play games, so it only makes sense that I would have a lot of those things unlocked... I am just saying.
My Gameplay -- Time Spent
The chart for this one was a little more difficult to figure out -- and I hope that it is totally inaccurate because if I really spend that much time playing video games I should probably be punished... By a cute blonde woman in a nurses outfit who makes me... Whoa! Did I say that or was I just thinking it?!
The chart shows a cumulative assessment of both single player game play and multi-player game play, and no surprise, even for the Community single-player games beat multi-player games by a massive margin. I suspect that it is not simply the fact that there are more single player games made than multi-player, though I am sure that helps with this statistic, but the fact that the multi-player portion of the community is much smaller probably factors in to that stat in a more significant and meaningful way.
