Today's timesink: Geometry Wars 2 leaderboard site live

by Justin McElroy on Aug 14th 2008 11:45AM

Hey gang, terrible, terrible news: You can now check your status on the Geometry Wars 2 leaderboards at any moment of the day, thanks to a Bizarre Creations application that's just gone live. While you can't check your status as it compares to your friends, you can see, in real-time, how you stack up against the rest of the world.

It's not just the time you'll spend plugging gamertags into the site to see how everyone ranks that's so troubling. It's watching your status slipping while you toil at the office, debating if it's worth faking food poisoning to get back in the Pacifism top 10,000 that's really going to mess with you. (Spoiler alert: It's totally worth it.)

Geometry Wars 2 is really the only thing I use my 360 for now.

sigh.

I really do need to buy more games.

Wow, time to get back into it man. There are more awesome games out than I can even keep up with, and the fall is just absurdly lined with great looking games.

I know but right now, I'm unemployed and I need the money to pay for books for school. I only had a little extra left over to buy an xbla game.

Same here, but I'm not too broken up about it, it's loads of fun. Plus, I'm really looking forward to a lot of games coming out soon, especially the stronger titles for the XBLA and Gears 2.

Good luck getting a job, I'm in the same boat.

i just broke 100k on pacifism 2 nights ago :-p

69 million :| !

I wonder how long that took?

Oh why can't we have a filter for just our friends!

Geo Wars is smokin.. so mush so, that if you don't have it by now, please turn in your 360 ASAP to avoid any further unavailing of your sorry ‘don’t know a good thing’ ass.

It's still weird that 8 million in KING will get you in the top 200.

I'm having a real tough time with that one.

Err, that should've gone below under WilsonGoneWild's post.

The achievements in this game are actually good. I enjoyed dodging 8 lines of enemies without firing in Waves for a cool 15 points.

I need a life.

My favorite was "wax on wax off"- really hectic (and now I can finally play pacifism without spending the entire time on the walls, dying.)

This game just keeps getting better and better.

Now to see how far behind I am...

Pacifism is actually the one mode I am in the top 10,000 for.

*proud*

Man, on the original I can't even break 200,000, how the hell do you guys do it? I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong :'(

The scoring is completely different in Geometry Wars 2.

Instead of your multiplier increasing with the number of kills you get, and going back to 1 every time you die, when you kill an enemy it leaves little yellow "Geoms" and each one you collect increases your multiplier. These were introduced in Geometry Wars Galaxies for wii/ds. Unlike galaxies and evolved, when you die your multiplier doesn't go back to 1.

So it's a LOT easier to get higher scores, don't feel bad.

I'm at 3133 for sequence score. Can't believe that my pacifism score doesn't net better than 150,000th- my score was a gigantic fluke already.

i was in the top 10k for deadline when i first got the game, now im at a more reasonable 3000-something. How the heck i managed to get 4 million in my first game is anyones guess- i've only managed to inch away 1 mil when i usually play that mode D:

I had 34th place on pacifism, but now I'm like top 200. :(

I think my King score is pretty decent though at 8mil+..

I just got to 6565 in Sequence, with almost 38mil
