Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-07-27 05:07:10


People have been responding in my name (thanks guys!) but I feel like responding to this as well.

At 7/26/11 09:23 PM, Addict wrote: First what I found odd, is that in the game Portal Defenders, you have the "Beat Halloween Mode" medal before the "Toggle Halloween Mode" medal.

When Portal Defenders came out, the Halloween mode wasn't there yet, it was implemented on Halloween (orly?). When it was first implemented, the 2 medals were reversed. The Konami code unlocked the 'Beat Halloween Mode' medal, and beating the Halloween Mode unlocked the 'Toggle' medal.

Another odd thing is that in the game Punk-O-Matic, you have the "250 streak" medal before the "100 streak" medal.

P-O-M releases medals whenever you're brought back to the garage (or whatever the training thing is). So if you make a 500 note streak in a concert and you don't have streak medals, the 100, 250 and 500 note streak medals are unlocked at once. As you know, lots of games that have a 'get all achievements' medal, get unlocked the second you earn your last achievement. That's why you see people have a 'get all achievements' medal before 'get xx achievement'. This is pretty much the same concept; 2 medals get unlocked at the same time = possible weird order.

Some more weird medal patterns I found were in the game Medieval Rampage, you have the "Kill First Boss" AND the "Kill Second Boss" medal before the "Kill Tenth Enemy" medal.

I don't know about this once since it's such a long time ago, but the MR series had a couple of bugs in it at times. We both know know how fun/easy the MR games are, but if you want I can record a game-play of MR and put it on youtube. I'm sure that would be the most interesting video ever made. Me playing an easy game trying to prove I CAN kill 10 enemies before the first boss. :O

And in Crush The Castle PP, you have the "Get All Gold Medals in All Castles" before any of the other medals.

Like WonderTheHedgehog said, when the game was first released, pressing 'continue' gave you every medal in the game. Therefore, this is my only game with a weird medal order. Lots of people used the trick back then, but looking back to it I regret it a little. I obviously still beat the game because I love me some CtC, but it does look bad on my profile. It's just bad programming and an in-game exploit, and if you want to learn more you can read about it here, and you see that everyone did it (and immediately felt bad about it :P)

In Bio Assault, you have the "reaching area 10", "reaching area 11", and "reaching area 12" medals before the "reaching area 9" medal.

Reaching area 9 was broken when it was first released. Then they fixed it so I got it last, like most people who played lots of games back then.

What the fuck do you have to say for yourself?

You could've just send me a PM in stead of putting these 'accusations' out in the open, it makes me really happy I've spend hours trying to help you beat games. Don't ever ask for my help again.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-07-27 05:37:16


Oh, there's obviously a big difference between 'can you explain how/why you earned xx before xx' and 'What the fuck do you have to say for yourself'. I have no problem having to explain certain medals I earned.

So @ Fooliolo: if I didn't explain the game with the 'serious issue' for you well enough, feel free to ask some further questions. I would prefer to do this through PM, but I'm okay discussing it here.

On another note, WonderTheHedgehog and I have reason to believe there's something wrong with the 25pt 'Bounce, Bounce, Smash!' medal. We both have met the requirement in different levels and with a different timing. So either the description isn't accurate, or the medal is just broken. As far as I know, Dimono is the only one who has the medal, and he earned it just a few days after the game was released. The game was definitely updated afterwards..

You guys are crazy (or really really free). You've been going at that game all this while? My medal point tally isn't *that* far behind either of you, but your levels of tenacity and perserverence are way beyond mine.

See the black piece that just formed left of the two 1x2 black pieces? Move it to the right top guy. Drag him over so he falls. Drag the black box to the left one and do the same. Push the white box at the bottom right up. 7 moves needed out of 8. No quick pushes or glitches needed.

Awesome! This take thinking outside the box to a whole new level! Thanks for the heads up, I was getting rather peeved about this one.

Yeah, you kinda didn't =/ But again, it's not enough evidence for a solid accusation, so we should just let it go for now.

I would have gotten them a long time ago, but for some reason playing the game too long makes my computers crash and die. So now I'm kinda scared to go back to it.

Apparently the "Tenth Monster" medal in Medieval Rampage meant 10 different kinds of monsters killed, or something to that effect. With that cleared up, I have no concerns at this point.

Hooray for the english language >_>

Pretty challenging game, because of those damn purposefully frustrating camera angles. IMO.

My eyes hurt after playing this. There's just a lack of proper perspective in it that make many of the traps seem closer than they really are, and that just messes me up. And getting the character to line up with the narrow paths is frustrating.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this, but in some levels, if you die after getting an orb/s in that level, you have to get the orbs all over again in it before you exit it. Anyone confirm/deny that?

Confirm. It was probably intentional, though.

Finished ghost mode, but I'm short one orb. :(

My list -
1. cam 3 near end
2. cam 4 at start
3. cam 4 near end
4. cam 5 at start
5. cam 7 near end behind green box
6. cam 10 right at beginning, turn around
7. cam 12, left of exit
8. cam 15 straight ahead behind green box
9. cam 15 left of exit
10. cam 16 take left path
11. cam 17 left of exit
12. cam 18 go right from start, behind boxes
13. cam 18 path left of exit
14. cam 19 hall left of exit
15. ???

I'm wondering if there is a third in cam 18 somewhere, though I think I ran around everywhere.

For anyone having trouble with cam 20, the spikes are always the same:

Yup, there's a 3rd one there.

Try drawing a map of the level, it helps

I've heard from everyone that it's just twisting the buttons endlessly and randomly. I can give you the code for it though, if you want me to.

Okay, screw that Intruded game. I tried like Hell to get all those damn orbs, but A: it's frustrating as the number you've collected isn't displayed, and B: the one where there's a spike shooting out of the wall is impossible for me, as I keep falling off the platform due to the lousy camera angles.

I know it's meant to be challenging, but man, I wasn't prepared for just how challenging. I completed it once, that's enough for me. Game done.

Unrelated, but does anybody know how to get past the ''slope attack'' in the Ninja warrior 2: GR game? This is where I constantly fall in the water. Thanks in advance. Pic included for maybe some more clearance.

This game's a real pain in the neck. The controls are kinda wonky (seriously, ctrl to jump? Why no customization option?), those damn blue boxes keep disappearing before I can jump to the next one, and when you die, you're sent back to the beginning! Grr! I got stuck at this one area where you have to jump on two green spike boxes, then onto two blue boxes, hitting a switch for a purple box... but then I can't figure out what to do next! There are a few other switches you need to put the box on, but the darn thing disappears every time I push the button for another box! Argh!

I'll come back to this one day I suppose. Maybe when I'm in a less aggrevated mood.

I think it's the easiest and shortest 100-point medal ever. Except maybe for the k-million tutorial squirrel.
