How to unlock the I Like Shiny Things achievement in Game Room - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires paid content.

To earn this achievement, you must unlock 48 medals cumulatively in Game Room. Each medal is only counted once. If you unlock a bronze medal, and then unlock the silver medal of the same type in the same game, that is still only one medal.

At a minimum, you will need to buy 16 games to unlock this. This is assuming you only buy games with Survivalist and Point Buster medals.

There are three medal varieties:
Point Buster : These medals are awarded when you reach certain score targets.
Survivalist : These medals are awarded for surviving a set amount of time in a single play.
Time Spender : These medals are awarded for cumulative game play.

Every game has a Time Spender medal. Time Spender medals count the time spent playing the game across any mode, including demos. Once you have played the required amount of time, you must either own the game (or be playing it on a box that has license to that game) or buy a paid session in order to actually unlock the mdeal.

Most games also have a Point Buster and Survivalist medal. These medals can only be earned in ranked play, and in games that you either own, are purchasing sessions with using the 40 MS point option, or on games that your console is licensed to (i.e. Someone else bought that game on your console). These medals can NOT be earned in demo play, classic play, or if you are using tokens to play a friend's machine.

A chart of which games have which medals available, and the goals that must be met to get those medals is posted here:

Thanks, yeah. I noticed that too when I went to check the attract mode on Crystal Castles. I hadn't been playing Classic before that!

I would suggest an indication on which games medals are easier to come by. Stil worth a positive vote without suggestion.

The reason I don't say which ones to go for is the variety of Game Room. Everyone has different skill sets, and since even a bronze will count for this most of the games will work. I will point out that I've never been able to get a time spender medal on a single play though.

what I always thought about achievements was that you shouldn't have to pay to obtain them, like these... And I certainly don't think the games are worth the price, too bad...
but I am wondering whether I am right about the 'pay for content for achievements' part?

Thats not true about Fable(at least not anymore)as I got all the 1000G first and then moved onto the pub games.

In all the guides you posted (which are exactly the same!!!) you've stated the obvious, but you haven't given us any suggestions on which games will be the easiest ones to get this damned achievement for. Crystal castles? Rack em up? i don't care which games, just ones where I ain't wasting my money.....I already feel ripped off with this game, and didn't even pay for it.

I explained this in a different solution, but I guess that was only in the comments. I do offer advice for 3 medals in
Game RoomMedal CollectorThe Medal Collector achievement in Game Room worth 73 pointsWin 3 Medals
, but after that it becomes quite subjective. If I tell you Car Wars is easy (for me, it was) but you suck at Car Wars, I'm giving you bad advice. Play demos and use the chart to see whether or not you can get a medal in a game before you buy it.

Laser blast is incredibly easy to get 2 golds in 5 mins.
Crystal castles is easy to get 1 gold in less than 1 min.
Night stalker is easy to get survivalist.
I wouldn't recommend unless you practice enough.

Here is a list of all the games that I used to finish the game really easily. It is full of alot of rentals that you can either turbo one of the unused buttons or hit start to continue the time.
If the timer stops counting be assured that it will still count for the gold. There is a timer at the top left of the screen that will tell you how long you have been playing for. You can verify how long each game will take here: http://www.tinyurl.com/GameRoomMedalChart

I'm guessing the 'O's are placeholders. They mean nothing.

Hi:
Problem with this game is basically money; if you buy or rent 34 games X $3.08 (2.99, plus tax) = $104,72 (If I understood correctly, that´s what Cherry on Top did)

Are you seriously going to tell me you spent over $100 for these free on line games?....this is just too much, even for Pro achievement hunters.

My suggestion? Start with free of charge achievements....decor your arcade, etc., buy your 3 favorite games (bought Gyruss, Crystal Castles and Megamania), get those medals, challenges, etc. If your wallet allows, buy 3 more a month later (I bought Pooyan, Enduro (even though when it´s a time spender only game) and Frostbite). You´ll come up with 36/56 achievements by spending $18.50 and you´ll only play games you like......it´s hard for me to buy something I don´t like.

Simply unlock 48 medals total (could be of any of the three types) to unlock this achievement. This one will cost you greatly as each machine only supports 3 medals.
