Tomb Raider: Underworld Updated to 1250

Tomb Raider: Underworld Updated to 1250
Written Saturday, February 21, 2009 by Alan Pettit

After previously adding a measely three new achievements to jump to 1125 for the first DLC "Beneath the Ashes" it appears Eidos is upping the ante a bit. The second set of DLC achievements for "Lara's Shadow" will add seven new achievements (seeing the return of the famous speedruns) to hit the cap of 1250 (or if Halo and Fallout have anything to say, the "suggested" cap of 1250).

The first DLC was delayed from a planned February 10th release and still has no rescheduled release date, while the second DLC also has no firm date.

Please note: As with all DLC achievement additions, the process will break the achievement checklist for anyone who was using it previous to the addition. To fix this problem, please delete the checklist by hitting the Red X from your "My Checklists" link and then re-enable the checklist and mark your achievement again. We apologize for this inconvenience.

I know a lot of gamers felt the speedrun achievements in Legend and Anniversary were annoying... I personally miss them in Underworld. =(

I'm with you, #1. I felt really cheated when I figured out there were no speedruns in Underworld because I knew there was no reason to replay the game ever again.

@#3 Legend is the best one of the ones on the 360. Underworld was fun though but I felt it took a step back after how good legend was

Speed runs are what keep most people playing Mirrors Edge after the story mode, so having such option here is a good thing

Ugh, yes it does have a confirmed release date now. You should check Tomb Raider Chronicles and use that as a source.

Well, RROD for me. And still waiting on either Repair or my new 60GB Xbox.

DLC is all well and good, but release dates... prob just in time for my next RROD!

Didn't really like the timetrials in the two previous Xbox TRs. But have bought mirrors edge, don't mind a time challenge. It's just that the controllers I break are too expensive to replace :-P.

time challenges are, well... challenging. Can't we avoid time trials (unless it's mirror's edge, they did well)so we can all stay calm and not turn blue in the face....

I thought Legend was trash personally having been a fan of TR since the beginning, Anniversary obviously found Anniversary very nice, wouldn't have minded a TRII remake more, but Anniv seems to have worked as a buffer to help newcomers with the story into Underworld now that its kinda bridged Anniv and Legend together

Currently in the process of playing Underworld, about half way through after getting it then running into a dry spell of game exhaustion, game itself seems fine to me, I have a reason to replay since as with all first runs in games Im doing it without any achievement guides, then once I hit the 1000 I'll make for 1250

So, let's review:
1. The super ****ty time trial achievements are back.
2. They now say we can't save, so they'll be impossible to complete because of how buggy the game is.
3. Still no word on fixing a single one of the previously mentioned bugs.

I think it should be obvious as to which hole of their bodies the Eidos staff can shove their DLC.

I've heard that a game update is coming along with the DLC.

"I've heard that a game update is coming along with the DLC."

They should give the game update for free to us as soon as possible, not make us wait for their miserable DLC.

The speedruns are on her bike not time trials. Hopefully they will release these soon.

Just started the game and have to agree it is a bit buggy. Still on the other hand any DLC is welcome to me as 5 years ago u bought a game and that was ur whack. Now companys r keepin u playin there games even if u have to pay a little extra for the content.

I played the demo of this and loved it, and my gf brought it me for christmas, but I haven't even gotten round to starting it yet, never mind ready for DLC! itching to get started though, just so much to play and so little time :p

If this game goes over 1250 I won't be very happy. That's supposed to be reserved for the big titles.

Do you have to have finished the game to play the DLC? I got to Southern Mexico and discovered there is a bug preventing my progress involving ramps and the motorcycle. Made me so mad, I quit playing.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
