    Honestly excited for that compared to the last major movie series game that I played/completed. I genuinely think it would be impossible for me to like it less than Hogwarts Legacy. At least the glitches won't be completely boring... lol

    Ironically, Gollum plays better on Kinect.

    Is there a way to see a full list of games by gamers that were dived?

    I'm always curious what games I started that _nobody else_ did.

    Ooh, that would be awesome. I'd love to see a stats page like that too.

    I didn't recover last year but am in again and going deeper than before. I'm already at 58 games and only just about to start with S's, and still have some 360 titles I'd like to add.

    The ones I'm most excited to keep playing so far are:

    Crypt of the Necrodancer
    Darksiders Genesis
    Foreclosed
    Foregone
    In Sound Mind
    Inscryption
    Loop Hero
    Norco
    Observation
    Paradise Killer
    Ruined King: A League of Legends Story

    I wanted to start Disco Elysium but it felt wrong rushing through the early part of the game to try and get an achievement. That game is really special. Same with Return of the Obra Dinn.

    Disco Elysium: The Final CutVenture into the HARDCOREThe Venture into the HARDCORE achievement in Disco Elysium: The Final Cut worth 52 pointsGodspeed

    Just start Disco Elysium in hardcore mode and play the first couple minutes. You don't have to rush or spoil anything. It's very straightforward to earn the achievement for playing in hardcore mode.

    Sorry if this has already been asked and answered....

    I've just finished my Bean Dive (28 games). How long do I get to recover the achievements in these games? Is there a time limit?

    Thanks.
    While the original intent of the dive is to finish in a year (aka, before you do it all over again next year), there's no actual limit, so if it takes a few years, or never gets done, that's totally fine. The system should just keep on tracking it.
    Thanks for the reply on that! Good to know i'm not under any pressure :)

    Welcome to the bean dive gang. We're all crazy here. Some good stuff you've dived there. Sleeping Dogs is one of my favourites.
    Thanks very much! Yeah I've had some of them games backlogged for a very long time. I never played Sleeping Dogs on the 360 but after playing the Xbox One version a short time to get that first achievement, I'm really looking forward to carrying it on. Cheers.

    OK, got my plan ready for July. Just a small dive this time.

    rekikire's blog post - 2024 Bean Dive

    Plan is to finally complete my 2015 200+ game dive by July 2025. The games chosen may be small in number, but not small in how long they're going to take to complete.
    Everyone is a winner.

    I'm probably staring my biggest one ever with 100+ xbox 360 games.

    Stupid FOMO from the store closure is definitely getting to me.

    Hah, more non-BC 360 games are going to go on fire sale 7/16... after we'd normally be done with bean diving.

    Now that's a pickle.

    Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76, you're a masochist.

    Be careful with Watchdogs Legion, hopefully they've fixed the save bug where your progress won't save if it loses connection to the servers.
