Multiplayer Achievements

[Jarcin]

I love multiplayer, I love achievements, I do not however enjoy multiplayer achievements (see Halo and Assassins Creed Brotherhood for examples). What are your thought on it though?

Do you think they add a nice little "Look what I was able to do!" like achievements do, or you do you feel it really is kind of a hindrance on getting that nice round about set of achievements you can get in beating a game full out?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Fuck them.

Makes getting 1000/1000 or Platinum trophies in dead games IMPOSSIBLE.

I'm never going to get that Singularity Plat...

And achievements are basically pointless on PC, as not all games require them, thus nothing like a Gamerscore or Trophy Level will exist.

 

[benderinTime]

I don't care about achievements in any way shape or form, so getting them is just another "meh" to the "mehs" of single player achievements I receive.

 

[anthony87]

Can't stand them.

I shouldn't have to be forced onto multiplayer if I want all the achievements.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Never liked them. Especially in games where the multiplayer is terrible or you bought the game late, so there's no one playing it.

 

[voetballeeuw]

If the multiplayer is an integral part to the game (BF:BC2) then sure. If you're going to be spending the majority of time in multiplayer there may as well be some. I do understand though that people who play offline only will not enjoy this.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

I dont mind them for popular games like Halo, Battle field, or Resistance. But I hat it when you have to perform nearly impossible tasks online, like capturing at flags in a game of stockpile (halo). Those achievements are dumb, but reaching x rank is perfectly fine.

 

[ajofflight]

I don't like multiplayer achievements, because I buy a lot of used games; therefore, most of the games that I play, have no more online servers, rendering it impossible for me to get 100% achievements. Though, I rarely go for Gold anyways.

 

[CKYNEMESIS]

I liked the Uncharted 2 system of multilayer achievements, you get one for playing competitively and another for playing co op and that's all you have to do.

 

[Jackpot524]

It bothers me when there is only one trophy dividing me from 100% completion, especially when it's a multiplayer achievement.

Case in point: The 'Fire Controller' Achievement on Medal of Honor, I keep coming oh so close then... *Pop* Sniped!

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Yes, I hate them with a passion. It's impossible to find matches on Verses in Resident Evil 5 to round off my trophy count. They're really bad ideas, because if I buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood a year down the line, I'll not be able to get the Platinum as I doubt anyone will still be playing.

 

[Jackpot524]

Meh. I'm not that much of an achievement whore, so I don't care too much.

Some are just fucking impossible, though.

"NO! FUCK YOU, KILLZONE 2! I WILL NOT GET INTO THE TOP 1% OF PLAYERS THIS MONTH, OR ANY OTHER MONTH! STOP TAUNTING ME!"

"But I love you so much, Ephraim!"

"FUCK OFF!"

"Why do you hate me? *sadface*"

"Because, Killzone 2, your trophies are impossible to get for a mere mortal such as myself."

"Well, you don't have to get them all."

"I guess not, and hey, that means I can play you more!"

"YAY!"

>_>

<_<

Man, I forgot how impossible the Killzone 2 multiplayer trophies were... I tryed to at least hold the top 10% for a week. I made it to the top 5%, but after I had the gall to sleep I had slipped to the bottom 50%... I felt like I wasted a perfectly good Sunday...

That really is this most ridiculous trophy for online. It's bad enough the likes of Resistance 2 where it asks you to go and kill 10,000 people which is a fair grind unless you happen to like it's multiplayer (I'm a minor trophy whore and don't think I got past 500 kills). But to have a trophy that is pretty much impossible to achieve unless you are a student, unemployed, take a months holiday or have godly abilities in killzone 2 is beyond a joke.

Basically I have a great dislike of them as they tend to be either even more of a grind than the single player trophies and also can become impossible for old games which are no longer played.

 

[Jumplion]

I dislike multiplayer related achievements for all the same reasons as stated before. It's a risky thing to do since the game could just lose support for multiplayer, making it impossible to get all the achievements/trophies for a game, taunting you, laughing at you, mocking you...

I liked the Uncharted 2 system of multilayer achievements, you get one for playing competitively and another for playing co op and that's all you have to do.

So you haven't updated recently then? There's about another 20 now for multiplayer ranging from 2500 kills to getting 50 kills after death.

 

[zombiejoe]

I don't like them. I mean getting the achievment is cool, but if everyone leaves, there is no use.

Yea I know there are more now but you don't need them to get the platinum trophy, which is how achievements in multilayer should be.
