The Xbox Screwed Me Over!

[Killcushley]

So i was doing wht cool guys do on the 360, Playing viva pinata of course.
I sat for quite a long time and got to level 13/14. Now for me this was good, I had started a new game and had got this far without giving up.

I realise that no achievements are coming up so i press the middle button and it seems i had forgot to log in.

I thought nothing of it, i thought "Heh oh well il just log in and collect my achievements right about now."

But the Xbox thought differantly
when i had logged in i pressed thee middle button to go back to raising my Pinata farm when for some reason im at the main menu.

I could have killed somebody!

Ok....
That was very interesting...

Ok this isn't really thread material, more just a rant. But just to help, there is a feature that you can turn on that lets you auto sign in whenever you turn on your xbox...

 

[xitel]

Yeah, when you switch profiles on the 360 it automatically returns you to the main menu. It's annoying, but I'm pretty sure the 360 should auto-login your main profile when you turn it on. There should be a setting to turn that on or off somewhere, I forget where though.

 

[Cymraeg Phill]

Indeed. Or perhaps it's just your fault for forgetting to sign in, eh? ;-)

Anyway, The Rusk makes a good point that perhaps you should consider using the auto-sign in feature: Found on the Profile menu, iirc...

I'm sorry is this a topic for discussion?

 

[kaiZie]

man that does suck great amount of balls. On a lighter note, ive been trying to get a copy of viva pinata for some time now, cant seem to find a copy second for more than £30....which i wont pay for a second hand game unless its a new release and im getting a good deal. Might have the check eBay or some jazz.

But yeah, as everyone else has said, turn on auto login. It's in the menu when u press the middle button i think.

Sorry about your wasted time though.....

At least you enjoyed it i guess

Eh try discovering you would have to do every game again to get new trophies.

the most annoying thing about the xbox the fact that it doesn't instantly ask for the user i like the fact that i dont need to select a user right away but when i put in a game all excited then the message for me to sign in really annyos the hell out of me

Then go kill somebody. It will relieve stress better than ranting into the black void of the internet.

does anyone really give a shit about achievements?

i have both 360 and PS3 and for some strange reason i'd much rather want trophies then achievments no idea why i just feel that a trophy is more rewarding than a achievement

 

[smithy1234]

You play viva pinata??? AHHHHHHHHHHHh

 

[bad rider]

You play viva pinata??? AHHHHHHHHHHHh

Hey leave viva pinata and its sweet candy goodness out of this!
On a bit of a side note, why when people write a thread do people respond with point and laugh? Seriously why prolongue a thread if you don't want them on the forum?

 

[Aardvark]

Me.

It's a bit of a thrill to have a little box pop up mid-game, advising me that I've been given a non-monetary reward for performing something awesome or progressing in story or performing the grind required by the game's developers. Regardless, I like the things. Especially when they fall squarely in the awesome category.

Well, this thread is pointless, can we get a Mod to lock this please?

I agree, it has killed two of our men so far.
