Trophies/Achievements that you hate

[TimeLord]

Finish game on Super Hard (or equivalent)

 

[Anarchemitis]

I got One Free Bullet and Zombie Chopper first try. They weren't that hard.
(Half Life 2 Episode 1 and Original flavor respectively: Beat the game without guns except grenades, RPG, Crowbar and Gravity Gun. Beat Ravenholm [and Graveyard and headcrab caves] with only the gravity gun.)

Still ongoing is getting all of the medals in Ace Combat Zero, because Sorcerer Squadron is a *****.

The achievement on Fifa 09 that gave you 19G was incredibly annoying, especially as to get the 1G you had to play 50 hours worth of matches.

 

[malestrithe]

Any trophy that basically says do it again, only this time make the opposite choices.

 

[meepop]

Any achievements that must be achieved in "New Game +" mode or some similar bullshit that I'll never get around to doing.

Essentially this, because if a game doesn't offer something up for grabs first time around, then you're really only padding it out for the (to quote the guy who made this thread) "trophy whore" to play again which is actually hurting the gaming companies because more time you spend on a game means less time on other games which means when you play other games it's a chain leading to the games companies not making as much as they could. Also any achievement that involves you to...Oh let's see...lemme think... "Dignity For the Dead" on Killing Floor--You have to kill 10 zombies eating dead teammates corpses. And if you've played Afrika or heard of it, it's essentially the same thing--waiting for EXACTLY the right moment to do it...Considering most of the time the zombies want you dead, it's kind of hard to make them eat when they hack the game and can smell you 50 miles away.

Any achievement which depends on a random chance. It doesn't belong under 'achievements' if it does that. Example: The achievements in WoW for getting random holiday items from random holiday drops at certain times of the year.

Keep off the Sand and Little Rocket Man - the Orange Box

 

[Kukakkau]

Speedrun achievements - thanks but I'd rather take my time enjoying your adventure game than trying to fly through it taking nothing in.

Majority of multiplayer achievements - worst being Battlefield Bad Company's get all awards in the game. (These include get 52 kills in a game and 5 kills in a round with a boat - most kills I've ever seen was around 30 in full length match and getting a kill with a boat is like winning a raffle it's that rare)

Keep off the Sand and Little Rocket Man - the Orange Box

I actually thought those two were allright - nowhere near as hard as everyone claimed

 

[SirVitaminD]

Worst damn achievments ever. The retarded 0 pointers fro Halo 3. What is the point in all that. Do the last mission 4 player co-op, legendary and everyone in ghosts?. No Bungie i cant be arsed with all that if your not gonna give me any gamerscore. My friends say, "if you do all of them you get armour". Its just armour stop bumming it. Vidmaster achievments can go to hell

 

[Julianking93]

Any trophy that forces me to play through the game more than once to get.

I'm looking at you Demon's Souls.

Apparently, you have to complete the game a minimum of 4 times to get all trophies.

 

[Miumaru]

Online ones for arcade games. And all the ones for Chromehounds I can never get on my old account. (SEGA took down the servers for a near online-only game)
Also ones that are added by DLC but atainable despite not having online. Halo 3 and Gears 2 do this.
And any DLC that make the lists not equal 1000 or 1250. Mass Effect, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears 2, Halo 3, LOTR:BMFE2, and Condemned all do that. (Last 2 are under 1000)

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

I really dislike all of those trophies/achievements that require online or multiplayer play. I am mainly a single player gamer and don't do online play, so it's impossible for me to get those types of achievements.

I second this.

Any achievement that relies on the unscripted action of other players will be and is, almost impossible to get by design.

Not gonna argue with that statement.

online=hated -.-

 

[Dexiro]

I hate storyline trophies, like "complete mission 1". They just seem pointless.
Oh and interval trophies like "get 10 points" "get 11 points" "get 12 points".

Darksiders did storyline trophies incredibly badly. On more than one occasion you'd get 2 trophies for the same unavoidable cutscene.
It had both "complete mission 1" and "get item from completing mission 1".

 

[SwampCandle]

Like most here online related ones, especially as I don't have an ethernet BB connection... so I can't even get online *grumble*

Anyway, specific ones:
Moto GP 09/10: Cheers - Excited Isn't The Word... what I hate most there is that there's no indication of what the hell I'm supposed to do to get it!
DiRT 2: Just Drive! - You drove 100 miles (161 kilometres) without unlocking any other trophy. What, so is this inbetween trohpy unlocks or before I get any trophy at all?

In short, really vague ones, and ones that make you play the game several times but doing something different each time, like Fallout 3, the whole "Reach this level with this karma level"... but thats mostly because Neutral Karma is stupidly hard to keep.

 

[GeekishChris]

Get a ringer in horseshoes on Red Dead Redemption.

69* on MW2 - Snatch and Grab on Veteran should have been named "Juggernaut Sandwich"

All the Star Wars: Force Unleashed "Kill 500 enemies using..." challenges.

Far Cry 2 Rank 30 - Might be nice if the online worked.

Grand Theft Auto IV "Gobble Gobble" The times I got 2 strikes in a row then choked for the third...

Bad Company 2 - 50 Demolition 2.0 kills online. Try about 2?

Resistance 2 "OMGWTFBBQ"

Just Cause 2 75% trophy may take several lifetimes to achieve.

Ahem. So not many.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I hate the "Good Night Sweet Prince" trophy in Far Cry 2, you get it when you euphanise a buddy, either by giving them a morphine overdose or by shooting them in the head

I had to put a bullet in between the eyes of someone who would came to my aid when I was in trouble, I felt like I'd murdered a brother.

 

[BlackJak007]

Not really a fan of achievements that take a long time to do , for a really small amount. For example , Moxxis Underdome Riot DLC for Borderlands. 10 gamerscore for doing all 3 "short" arenas , which were about an hour each. 3 hours for 10g... not really worth it.

 

[LuckyClover95]

On GTA IV trophies for the DLCs mean my trophy percentage is pathetic. I'm not a trophy whore but I like to look half decent And since I cant play online since I'm 16 or 18, dont know which, I cant get the online trophies in Red Dead Redemption
