Starcraft 2: I cannot beat the fucking terratron!!!

The rest of the achievements are about playing starcraft and I will eventually get them all but I suck at the mini game. I though I was playing an RTS not an upwards scrolling space shooter!!! rage

Yeah, those grind ones are a *****.

I would say Gears of War and Team Fortress 2 are the biggest offenders.

1,000,000 heal points for a medic... yeah no.

And the Gears ones basically turned the multiplayer into "let me get the weapon for the achievement you assholes!".

Now see, I like the achievements in TF2 where you have to get X of Y to get it, because those achievements in TF2 are just natural progression. In your example, if you play Medic enough you'll eventually get, and it's a good goal to shoot for, because you're constantly helping your teammates along the way.

Yeah I guess. But its still annoying going through them, seeing the requirements, and laughing since your sure you'll never get to that point.

I actually found all the feathers p[retty fast in Assassin's Creed 2, tho that maaaaaaaaaaaayyybe had something to do with me printing off a sheet of locations on a map and ticking them off as I went. XD
It was the first game I've gotten a Platnuim Trophy in tho, so I'm happy with that.

sorry for double post

Crackdown 2. Need I say more.

Well if you think the trophy/achievement is stupid, then why bother collecting them at all?
But, yes I do hate this whole collecting thing in games now. "Go collect 100 feathers!" What purpose does this have on the story? Do I get anything special for it? No, just an achievement saying I wasted hours searching for feathers...

making your mother happy enough to talk again after several years and getting a weapon and cape that are otherwise unobtainable

i need more agility orbs!
-so sick of agility orbs

 

[BlackWidower]

No one's forcing you to find them all. Just stop when you've beat the final boss. DONE!

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

I really don't like collecting...

Thats why if theres an achievement for it... I cheat and use a guide...

 

[SalamanderJoe]

Mafia 2 at the mo. I only have 5 Playboy mags and no Wanted posters at all. Not exactly like you get time to free roam properly though.

 

[Phlakes]

Three words: The Perfect Run.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

None actually. It annoying at just how hidden some of the items can be but being the completionist i am i usually try and go for everything.

 

[Omikron009]

If you hate collecting things for achievements so much, why do you even bother?

 

[Mikeyfell]

the ones in Bioshock 2 anyway

I rented it and 950/1000'd it in a week

It's the worst kind of game design, rewarding players for purposefully wasting their time in a GAME doing something un-fun. The only way it could be even slightly worth it is if it forces them to go off the beaten path, and finds something amazing for their trouble like a whole new level or boss, but that's unlikely. Usually, yeah, they're just stupid scavenger hunts or grinding competitive idiocy.

I am so very, very pissed that I will forever have 99% of the Emblems in Sonic Adventure 2, but the last 4 or so are for getting all A-ranks in the ones I've already completed... another reason to hate these hunts silly!
