"Escapologist" not unlocking?


SnapDragon 10-24-2007, 12:50 PM

Hmm... I've gotten 100 on each level of the first 5 scenarios (5000 points in total), but I didn't get Escapologist.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Am I misunderstanding the achievement description?

Hopefully the achievement isn't glitched for me. :(

100 x 5 is only 500 points. Did you mean 1000? :)

just make sure on every level you got the full 100, ou must be missing a 100 in a level.
Playing - Anything that comes to mind.

I have 100 on every level.  10 levels per scenario, 5 scenarios.  (And I've also done one level in scenario 6.)  5100 total points on the end screen.  If I'm doing something wrong, it's less obvious than that. :)

It looks to be a bug.  People at other message boards are reporting the same thing.

Did you wait a bit to unlock it? When I unlocked the first achievement, I had to wait like 30 seconds for it to unlock...

Yeah, I've heard the same at other places.

Does anybody have it or is it just one of those lovely random glitches?

Well, I have "Outstanding Escape Artist" now (first in the world, I guess) but not "Escapologist".  Looks like it's just plain glitched.

I'd post a "65/65 club" topic, but that just seems ... lame. ;)

Has anybody got this achievement? I didn't get it. Exit shows that it's sometimes risky to buy games on release date. Not including all levels and achievement bugs really suck.

This is not my month... Skate, Two Worlds and Exit all have achievement bugs.

I have not completed all the scenario 5 levels yet.

What is your advise: Should I wait to do so, until this bug is fixed?

BTW: Am I the only one, who noticed the description of this (and the similar) achievement(s): "Reach a score of XXX or more by the end of Situation X."

Is it even possible to get more than the listed score? I mean, its i.e. not possible to get more than 5,000 by the end of Scenario 5.

I also noticed that for all of the score ach you can't really get the "or more" part since getting the exact score listed is the maximum.

I am trying to find an email for Taito but it hasn't been easy.  I hope this will be fixed.  Judging by the pretty slow forums though I wonder if not many people bought this game (I don't know why, I think it is a great puzzler), and that might cause the fix to never arrive. =(

i love this game :)

I had 6200 points as i finished Level 50 - thats because i did 51-60 before i did level 50 ;) (but the total score on the right side counts!)

I hear ya, these threads have been pretty dead in the forum.  I was hoping for an answer by now to all the issues with this game....I liked the demo but will not buy the game yet.

Escapologist did not unlock for me either.

Lame.

Escapologist did not unlock for me either, though the 12,000 points one did today.  (That damned 12-8 was driving me nuts, but finally pulled it off)

 

Though it's strictly a guess, and I'd never be able to prove it without source code (even if I could understand it), my money is betting that this is data-related to the fact that a couple of scenario names (that show up in the lower-right corner of the screen at the beginning of a level) are incorrectly swapped (an underwater one, and a hospital one)  -- and therefore, the game thinks you have to have 5,000 points by the end of Scenario 3.

 

If it seems highly unlikely to you that the achievement not unlocking would be programmed this way, well -- I've seen crappier program logic in my day.

BattleOf1942: Hehe.  As a fellow programmer, that was my theory too. :)

This sucks. I had really been looking forward to EXIT. The trial version convinced me it was worth buying, but then I took a look at the forums. No way am I paying for half a game with glitched acheivements.

Re: "Escapologist" not unlocking?


SnapDragon 11-12-2007, 8:09 PM
Jay, while the achievement issues are annoying, this is definitely not "half" a game.  It's a full game, and much longer than almost any other XBLA title out there.  There's simply MORE bonus content coming down the pipeline. :)

But when and will it be free as it should be to complete the original achievements!?

Chulo81 11-20-2007, 8:21 AM
I don't have the achievement either. 5,000/5,000 Nothing more, nothing less. Hope they fix it a lot sooner than the Outpost Kaloki X achievement glitch!
Gave my wife a mood ring. When she's in a good mood it turns blue. When she's upset it leaves a big red mark on my forehead.

They STILL haven't fixed Smash TV yet and it's been over 2 years since that game came out, though I think about 1.5 years since they were notified of the problem, then a year ago since they were notified of the OTHER glitch that game has...

So this is why no-one has 200/200 in this one yet? I was very confused as to why, normally there's someone within days.

I bought this game but have yet to play it (other than the trial, of course), damn Bejeweled!!! But this looks really fun, pity about this glitch.

Are the others glitched too? Or is it just a case of people stopping playing it because of this problem?

Ah, OK. Just read in another thread that they're releasing expansions for the other achievements.

Maybe they'll release a patch for this problem when they start releasing the expansions?

Fixed!

The game just got patched, the achievement works now.  If you've already met the requirements, you can get it by replaying a level.
