Expert mode (No help just my point of view)

I have 3 arcade games now that I have unlocked 11 out of 12 achievements, one of them being this game. Basically all I have to say is I hate achievements like the last one I need in this game; they are pointless and might as well just be called:

--G  ‘Keep Playing’ – Keep playing this game over and over, repeating the same thing and wasting a load of your time until you get this achievement.

I don’t knock people who have unlocked the achievements that I haven’t as I have thought about getting them but now I just can’t bothered anymore...to be honest I‘m bored of doing the same thing over and over.

I’m sure a lot of people are going to argue with me now but I don’t care I’m quite happy to take other peoples point of view into consideration just please don’t get angry and send hate messages.

Human Superiority is one of the worst achievements ever conceived. I finally beat it by just making 3 piece combos as fast as I could and continually sending over any "upgrade" I got as soon as I got them... explode EVERY star/ruby/emerald you make asap too... It only took a few tries using this method to beat it... then you never have to play this god-forsaken mode again! :)

I doubt you'll get as many people arguing with you as you thought.  Hexic 2 battle mode stinks.  It's totally ill-conceived.   I spent about 20 minutes trying for that achievement then haven't thought about it again since then.

The beauty of Hexic 1 & 2 is the board manipulation and the methodical transformation of an uncontrolled gamespace into a controlled one.  Making as many mindless 3-piece combos as fast as you can shouldn't be the winning strategy.

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

Re: Expert mode (No help just my point of view)
i actually beat the expert computer twice in a row last night ( i couldnt find a ranked game)

i find you have to make flowers to stand a chance, you wont win a stright race, the comp makes to many emralds

plus triple yellowing followed by a bomb dominates the AI, it doesnt know what to do

but its an extremely cheap achievement

I'm sure this is of no concern to anyone but since I last made my opinion in this thread I haven't bothered to play Hexic 2 until about 1 hour ago when I randomly put the game on, went on Expert Battle Mode and out of pure luck I unlocked my achievement in one go. I was shocked and now I don't know if I disagree with my original opinion, it just doesn't seem as bad; it just seemed really easy. Smile [:)]

I hate this achievement its so cheap!!! it took me 200 trys to finally beat it. Since I've got the achievement I've beaten it a total of 4 times. One day was twice in a row, I freakin beasted the stupid comp.

Nope, no argument here.  This one achievement is keeping me from the 400/400 club. Sad [:(]

That is what I call experience,  you know how to win so winning is easier.

I remember hexic hd, it took me an eternity to do a simple black pearl.  now a day, if I don't have one by the end of round 1, I restart the game.

I got it on my 5th try, the trick is to just make 3 clusters over and over, whilst tapping Y to use your "attacks".
