Before I start looking for pigeons again...

...does the in game website whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com update itself when you shoot a pigeon? Just wanna know so I know whether it would be better to start over, or carry on from where I left off. I finished at 185, traded in the game ages ago, and just got it back.

Thanks.

Sorry man the website doesn't keep track of anything. It just lets you know where they are. If you killed 185 it will still show all 200. I still think you should just try to find the 15 you missed. Hopefully if you start from the beginning you will find the 15 sooner rather then later.

Argh! Thanks for the reply! Problem is with going over locations again is starting off at say no.1 and you cannot see it. You don't know whether you have simply missed it, or if you have indeed already shot it!

Man, I doubt a game update will be made to fix this now...

I used those videos too although, this was in conjunction with a numbered map that I found together at xbox360achievements.org. I mainly used the map, as most were easy to find and just referred to the videos when I couldn't find a pigeon. You need to stick to some kind of system, even if it's clearing island by island, use a checklist and save regularly.
The tougher the battle, the sweeter the victory!!

Re: Before I start looking for pigeons again...
I am stuck with 1 pigeon left.  I made the mistake of doing this playthrough and never working on getting the pigeons just killing has I went.  BIG MISTAKE.  I spent about a week a few months ago going through location by location.  I've seen way more of LC then I ever wanted too.

10K achieved 9/20/09 @ 11:37am. Achievement: Pocket Monster 80G.

500th Ach: Earned 10/14/09: TLAD: Get Good Wood 50G.

I hate these pigeons, I've gone about 3/4 of the way through and now I'm about to start doing it again (first one messed up big time). I am not looking forward to it.

I used a map and crossed them off as I found them. Somehow I missed one even though they're all crossed off. No idea how I'm going to find that one now, guess I'll just have to search all 200 again. Problem is, I may miss it again since some of them are hidden quite well.

You can check the one in the airport control tower...u need a sniper to get it. I think it's one of the hardest to spot IF u don't have the maps or any kind of help... but again i really think is better just to start over from #1... oh and stick with one map to follow, that way u don't get locations and #'s confused.

An update for that? Lol they might as well just make an update to give you the achievement if they were going to do that. Just turn up your volume and go to every location, if you don't hear it you've already got it.

No, I meant just an update to delete a pigeon marker on the in-game map once it has been collected.

They should have had something in the in game map to mark the pidgeons you've already found. I may never get this achievement even though I spent hours of work on it because I'd have to spend all those hours on it again to find the 1 I somehow missed. (Likely because the game wasn't saved or something silly like that)
