Hard as Nails Achievement, Piss Poor Gamerscore Payoff

[Minky_man]

Ever been Achievement hunting and spent 10 million lifetimes getting it only for the game to give you 10G?
Ever been looking over the Achivement list for a new game and found something along the lines of "Find all 500 secrets - 15G"?

What are the worst Achievements you've seen or done where the Payoff was not worth the effort?

 

[Sethzard]

Bullet witch has you complete the game on the hardest difficulty for 1g!

 

[Shiv595]

Seriously Sam. 2.0

I at least want 1000G's for that dammit.

Yeah, that's a massive *****.

I hate the Garry's Mod achievement where you have to play for a full year. You don't get any gamerscore because it's a steam achievement, and I seriously doubt anybody will get this achievement without hacking. There is no way somebody is willing to spend a huge chunk of their life playing any non-MMORPG game.

This is not actual game score, is a trophy.

Killing the Amgarrak Golem (Dragon Age: Origins DLC) on Hard dificuly (Grim Reaper) should be AT LEAST Silver! Took me for ever! And I had to use a Glitch!

From my steam library:

"Team fortress 2
1547 hours played."

Yeah...

Decent payoff, but still a bastard to get:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
"Mile High Club"
Parachute to safety on the Veteran Difficulty

Took me damn near 3 lifetimes to get this one.

Play gary's mod for 5.7 times that length of time and you will have the achivement.

I didn't say it was, I just meant spending inordinate amounts of time in a non Mmo is pretty normal!

 

[Judgement101]

Probably the TF2 achievement where you have to get the highest score as a medic on a team of 6+. All you need now is 4 more achievements to get that shiny new weapon.

What do you have to do for that one?

 

[zehydra]

So instead of unlocking other parts of the game, you get virtual trophies and numbers?

Why would I ever bother with achievements?

 

[Chibz]

From perfect dark's remake on 360:

Crowning Glory
Earn all the Leaderboard Crowns.

5 gamerscore.

Here's what it takes...

INSANE.

Vesperia Master,get every other achievement in Tales of Vesperia for 0g

Also from Vesperia is Yeager's Secret Mission, which is a pain in the ass to pull off, is worth a measly 5g.

Also a more minor one is beating Ninja Gaiden 2 with just one weapon worth 5g for each weapon.
