Most pointlessly hard achievement there is?

I don't recall what the title is, but there's a trophy in Resistance 2 for getting 10,000 kills in multiplayer.
Bad Company 2 also has a ridiculous one, where you have to knife 5 different people on your friends list. Getting that without specifically setting it up is nigh on impossible.
Knifing 5 people on your friends list was incredibly easy for me. Unless you dont have 5 friends.

Also, I heard of one in mirror's edge where you go through the game not shooting anyone or something... Good luck on those crazy missions where they corner you in a small room and almost FORCE you to use guns.
I was able to do that pretty easily. I dont know why everyone seems to have trouble with it.

Sorry for the double post.

Rock band 2 do all the songs in one go without pause.

"Bladder of Steel"
Couldn't you have 4 or 5 people take turns?
Also, I think that the "Best Little Slaughterhouse in Texas" achievement in TF2 qualifies. You have to get 5,000 kills with your sentry guns, which is just a sign of how much time you've spent playing the game and not any real skill. It's also one that almost no people have.

I'm going with Kill all 60 Templars from Assassin's Creed, those guys were some of the most glitched npcs I'd ever seen i was stuck on 59 for a long time. Not to mention that if they see you jumping from roof to roof they may run after you but never climb the buildings, so they're standing 100 yards away from their post looking around aimlessly. I actually killed the last one thinking he was a guard captain.

Guns we need guns can actually be done solo if you're willing to kill some serious time. It takes several times through the game to get all the weapons and you need a second account to act as a mule. after finishing the game bring in your mule and gift him every weapon you have. Load up your new game and transfer your weapons back from the mule once you have access to the weapons room. Each game has a set of weapons that are available from shops and chests, somewhere between 12 and 15 unique weapons a game. That isn't to say you won't have overlap, but it does guarantee that you won't lose your weapons to an unscrupulous player.

I know Little Rocket Man has been mentioned, but what about Guardin' Gnome (Left 4 Dead 2)?

Pissed me off to carry the gnome that far.
That one pissed me off too since we left it up on the ledge when you drop down into the sewer at the very end...then realized we had to do it all over again. Just the worst...

I got Bladder of Steel by trading off every few songs with my sister. Would have gone for the Expert achievement, but she wouldn't have been able to handle that. Hell, I probably would have lost on Battery on Expert anyways.

"Little Rocket Man" can go die in a hole. I spent forever carrying that damn gnome through the game, put it in the rocket, launched it, but didn't get the achievement. SO ANGRY.

I doubt this is the hardest, but it's certainly the one I remember as most frustrating. The "If they came to see me beg" achievement from reach.
I spent ever so much time figuring out how to do that, until, of course, realization came to mind, and I discovered why Bungie implemented Banshees from the first game.

Fighter airships? More like achievementmobile

2. When you have to go and get the car off the bridge you can leave the gnome with Alyx and the vortigaunt. WARNING: Make sure you leave the gnome right next to the gate which you open after you get the car, the one which Alyx and the vortigaunt come through. It only opens very briefly when you pull the lever for it, and if you're not careful you may lose it. Especially as the door opens for slightly longer when they come through, and after that you really can't get to it fast enough to pull the gnome through.
Pointlessly hard. Just shoot the gnome onto the bridge and then you can go pick it up when you have the car.

Also all of the gnome achivements were piss easy. Even the car sections weren't that bad if you know where to put the gnome in the car you can drive for a while with it sitting inside. And the gnome makes a good melee weapon in l4d2
Well get you. I don't know why you'd try to boast about how it was by quoting someone who already has those achievements, but hey...

Anyway, I don't see why leaving the gnome at the start and picking it up at the end is significantly harder than punting it onto the bridge.
1) I'm not boasting, I'm agreeing.
2) by punting it over you are not limited to a time frame and can pick it up at your leisure.

I hate about any achievment that requires you to find millions of hidden things everywhere.What I think they should do is like in bully if you complete higher level courses and things you get hints on your map on where they are hidden but it's pretty difficult to unlock th map guides.

Stupid Bulletwitch.

HELL Difficulty Mode Cleared

You have to beat the game on Chaos difficulty to unlock Hell mode. Then beat the game on Hell mode for 1 AP. It was freaking hard beating it on regular difficulty and this was just annoying and no fun in any way shape or form.

I ALMOST pulled that off on hard mode. But the freakin boat level...Goons with assault rifles everywhere...>_< I broke after 2 hours of trying and proceeded to open fire.

And then I pulled off that achievement with no trouble on Normal. It was pretty fun.

HL2:ep2 taking the gnome to the motherfucking rocketship. So unnecessary in the car sections when being chased by a helicopter.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with everyone in this thread that has named World of Warcraft's "Insane in the Membrane" achievement as the hardest one. As someone that is on the grind for it and has helped others grind for it, I can say that it is in fact an EASY ACHIEVEMENT. Yes you read that correctly: Insane in the Membrane is an easy achievement. 100% of the people that actually try to get it WILL get it. This achievement so often gets labeled as difficult for the wrong reasons particularly being:

-It takes a VERY long time to get (3 months if you are diligent, over a year if you are lazy). As long as you TRY you WILL get it.
-Very few people even TRY to do it. Most people will look at the requirements and immediately turn away.

To me a "difficult" achievement includes things such as The Immortal, Tribute to Immortality, Herald of the Titans, He Feeds on Your Tears, Tribute to Dedicated Insanity, and I Can't Hear You over the Sound of How Awesome I Am (<- this one has only been done 3 times so far).

To me, a time consuming achievement is not a difficult achievement. A difficult achievement is something that people will try for and fail repeatedly.

/rant

OT finally. As a matter of personal hardship, World of Warcraft's "The Immortal" caused me and many others several months of anguish.
