Mundane…? Aye.

I’m still bitting about at the side-missions in GTA4, I’m currently trying to eliminate 20 pigeons per day from Liberty City although the last couple of days I haven’t been playing much of anything.

Today I managed my allotted 20 pigeons and the last of Jeff’s random encounters, I’m slowly getting through those too. The only sizeable tasks remaining are both types of police missions and those bloody pigeons.

Other than GTA, I’ve been playing Oblivion a bit. I haven’t really progressed through the main quest much as I’ve been doing the “guild” quests, managing to attain a few achievements as I go.

Other than that, I haven’t really been upto much. It’s nice finally breaking that 4k gamerscore barrier though.

Distractions…

In between GTA4 sessions I’ve decided to restart The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion to get the achievements. I’ve never actually completed it either so it’ll be nice to actually do that.

I’ve restarted just because I can’t remember what point I actually got to in my prior save (I THINK it was just before the Bruma gate section).

I’ve always found Oblivion (and Morrowind before it) to be a really beautiful and fun game, I just tended to get distracted before finishing it so hopefully I can get through this time :-).

As for GTA4, I am half-way through my pigeon collecting (I’ve done Broker/Dukes, Bohan and half of Algonquin) and I’m finding it pretty tedious, for some reason I’m not enjoying it as much as I did the hidden packages in GTA3. I also have 2 or 3 more random character missions to perform as well as the majority of the police crime and most wanted missions but those are pretty fun.

After doing those I’ll restart the main storyline and try to blitz it in under 30 hours for the achievement, then onto multi-player…

It’s frightening just looking at how many Xbox 360 games I’ve got that I’ve really enjoyed playing but have put to one side due to getting distracted.

I’m a stone’s throw away from finishing a couple of titles, games I’ve really enjoyed. When it comes to gamerscore (which I guess is a subject worthy of another post, but I’ll just say I really LOVE the achievement system) it’s even more indicative of how easily I get distracted.

I have 19 retail 360 games and 5 Live Arcade titles, according to MyGamerCard.net that’s a potential gamerscore of 21150 with me earning 3395. That’s 17755 gamerpoints just waiting to be earned.

Only 5 of those 24 games have over 25% of their achievements unlocked. With GTA4 being 61% unlocked so far.. easily the most achievements I’ve unlocked in a game.

I’m setting myself a target of finishing all those games I’m “almost” done with, then I’ll work at unlocking a few of those achievements.
