RAGE

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?p=45... (this is the work pwningyoursoul)

Rounds 1-4 are always the same and follow standard European Knife Game rules.

Round 5 however is randomized each time and unless you are Max Payne it will be too fast and complex for you to get in three tries. Counteract this by putting your left thumb on the start button and pressing start and A almost simultaneously (A needs to come slightly before start for this to work) so you can see where the next place you'll have to stab is.

I tried to do this for 3 straight hours before looking for help, for your own mental health please please please do the above before anything else. (though this method does make this possible it more than quadruples the time it takes to finish the round and still demands all of your concentration)

I want to thank DesperadoRobert the other guys here who posted this solution. I pride myself on getting achievements honestly and fairly and usually walk away if I cant get them after a couple of hours. However after 3 hours I ready for the mental breakdown that DesperadoRobert spoke about. I carfefully read his solution and then went to a visual aid on youtube. This achievement is doable in about 10 mins if you get the first 4 down cold. I blew past them in less than 5 minutes then using Desperado's advice and some youtube video help I got this cheevy in 5 more mins. If your wondering why I wanted it so bad...well I am Private Hudson from aliens and bishop isnt going to get that knife game over on me, LOL. Thanks to the guy who posted this on youtube and and here is his link if your interested...

To start, I would like to point out that this achievement is why this game is called "RAGE." It took me probably a total of one to one and a half hours of playing five fingered fillet to beat this. Your success is based on your strategy, concentration, reflexes, and a little bit of luck.

Rounds 1-4 are always the same. If you spend maybe 10-15 minutes playing this minigame, you should be able to breeze through these rounds with very little difficulty.

Round 5 is completely random and requires a great deal of skill to really get through in only a handful of tries. There are some people who are suggesting to use a method that involves pressing A immediately following opening the menu by pressing START. By doing this, you should be able to see the next spot you will be hitting light up as the menu opens. This, in my opinion, is a bad strategy to use for all three strikes; it will throw off your timing and ultimately result in pressing A too early or too late, especially if the next stab is right next you your previous one.

Here is my strategy for Round 5:

BEFORE YOU START: you should note where you are looking after every hit. You will always start with a hit behind the thumb, but you should always be looking at the spot immediately after the one you just hit. Since this is random, you will never know when you will be hitting the spot right next to your previous hit. For example, if you are moving left and hit the spot after the pinky, you should be looking at the spot to its right, in preparation for a close hit. It is also important to note (for this example) that you will once again be hitting the spot to the left of the pinky again, as you will always be alternating direction after a hit.

Strike 1: Use the pausing method to get a feel for the round. For me this only earned me the first 4-5 hits before my timing got thrown off. By doing this, you are essentially trying to know what to expect as you go the second strike.

Strike 2: Based on you performance in strike 1, you can either do the pausing method again, this time starting from around the place where you left off, or you can continue without it (if you feel you got enough of a feel for the round to get through most of what's left). If you are using the pausing method, the method is the same: try to keep your timing down and pay attention to what places you are hitting.

Strike 3: After failing twice, you haven't accomplished nothing. You should have a pretty good idea of what to expect for this final strike. Part of this is luck, but most of it is what you learn in your previous strikes. If all goes well, congratulations! If not, you can always try again using my strategy. If you feel like it's not working for you, you can always modify what I've suggested or try someone else's idea. Good luck, and don't get too frustrated if it's taking a long time.

I'm open to any suggestions in the comments below. If you feel I should change anything, I can add any new ideas to the solution and accredit any contributors.

First of all this is not a easy achievement, you need patience practice and timing!
The first three rounds are similar then the fourth changes slightly and the fifth is random but you have your three chances each round to memorize get through and hopefully pop this achievement!
As I said this is not a quick achievement to get, it will take time and patience! Once you get use to the rhythm and the timing of each round, you will soon be going through the first four with hardly any or no strikes! Then there is the random fifth round, I did not use the pause technique even though I know it has helped a lot of people get this achievement and works for most people and is a good solution!
If you are like me, the slightest thing can put you off and you make a mistake get frustrated and quit the game but this is what I did!
I turned notifications off, turned the sound off, all had gone to bed in the house so I was on my own with no distractions and could concentrate! When you are just going off visual your reaction time should speed up and with your timing and practice of the first four rounds and knowing when to hit the A button you should be able to pull this off after a hour or so! After the first hour I was only making mistakes on the final round and then with my reaction time increased thanks to playing it by visual only and my timing I got to the end of the game, didn't see the achievement pop of course but knew I had done it!
Hope this helps a few people to get this one done, happy gaming!
