Ugh, Neighborhood Watch... two attempts and I gave up on that one. Between One Free Bullet, Little Rocket Man and the one someone else mentioned about staying off the sand, I didn't have the patience to spare!Fijiman said:
Un-achievable Achievements?

Recently, I got annoyed by Skyrim's "Oblivion Walker" achievement when I found out that I can't get it due to the fact that I went with the "good" moral choices with 2/15 of the quests, making it impossible to get the achievement even though I have completed all the daedric quests >:|
It annoys me because Skyrim is one of the very few games where I bother to be a completionist. I was also annoyed that there's no achievement for finding all the Stones of Barenziah, yet there are those stupid ones like for "surviving" the first custscene of the game.. *eyeroll*.. it's like, who the f WON'T get it? Who the hell would buy the game and NOT get through the first objective?? Ugh.

Hey, they're not all bad. They can get you to push the games in different ways the developers couldn't sneak in the game "legitimately." Like trying to break all the monitors in Portal 2. Or they could get the player to think about the game differently, like the One Free Bullet achievement in HL2 (use only one bullet through the entire game), or the "Little Rocket Man" achievement in HL2 Episode 2 (take a garden gnome with you all the way through the game and put it in the rocket in the end). It can also get them to look for easter eggs, like the Vorticough achievement of HL2 (find the hidden singing Vortigaunt).Deviate said:
And it's not like they interrupt the game at all. If you don't like them, just ignore them.
I'm looking forward to this one; it's REALLY different. It asks that you speak to Calendar Man on major holidays, so it shouldn't take a whole year seeing as some months have several holidays and other are really close together like Christmas and New Years. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting one to have! But if THIS one glitches... man, I'm going straight to my congressman.Tin Man said:
Is it pathetic that I've set up calendar alerts on my cell phone to remind to pop AC in? Yeah, I know it is...
I've never really cared for achievements all that much, but I don't mind them being there. I just don't go out of my way to obtain them.
what's interesting is that in MW3, the "reach max weapon lvl" achievement is obtainable without actually getting the weapon to level 31.

I guarantee it will work, Use a wee Fiat 500, It'l make it a lot easier.Scrustle said:
On the Topic of Trophies/cheevos in General, They have the potential to add a lot more to the game, but developers just can't seem to nail them, Most adventure games lists are cut and paste (Beat the game on the hardest setting, Get all collectables, kill x amount of people with x weapon) and when online comes into it they seem to enjoy putting these ridiculous circumstances (see AC:B)that when you see it you know it was "boosted" The worst trophy EVER has to be for Mortal Kombat 2011. "Master all characters"...."Mastering" a Character involes..
- 1000 Pints of blood spilled, Seems okay so far yea?
- 100 Victorys, again fair?
- 100 Fatalitys, Woah..I Have to watch the same animation 100 times? okay..
-24 hours of gameplay with each character.
There are 29 characters in the game... :| thats 29 days of solid in game time, Yea thats just great.
Several in the Halo games.
1) The vidmaster achievements with four people. FUCK that! Even if I get lucky enough to have three friends online at the same time, they either don't want to play Halo, or one of them already has the achievement.
2) Mother fucking Save This Film in Halo 3. I have gotten perfections. I have almost all the Halo 3 achievements. I played 100+ games trying to get a Perfection on the right map. Never did it, never will. (For those who don't know, Save This Film requires you to get at least 15 kills with no deaths in a Slayer game on certain maps.)

I once had a game with my friend in splitscreen where everyone lagged out except for me and my friend, so I farmed "Save This Film" I feel guilty about it now, this was when I was 14, I don't farm achievements anymore.MrDeckard said:
And the Vidmaster challenges are frustrating I remember spending weeks with my friend trying to find two more people to do it with us, only for him to do it without me while I was gone one day.
I would LOVE to farm that achievement!ejb626 said:
I had a pretty terrible experience with the ODST vidmaster for the one where you have to do the last level, on legendary, with four people, without Warthog of Tank. We got the infinite rockets and spent about 6 hours getting through this(We had some really shitty players.) We were heading for the final dropship...... When my connection dropped.
So much rage...
"Ultimate Defender" from GRAW2, I think the REAL challenges was to actually gather a large enough group to attempt it knowing full well that by the time the requited HOUR of position defense elapsed, MOST people would have lagged out. When my group got this one, I was lucky enough to die about 15 minutes in, so the demand upon my connection diminished, so I got the achievement after 45 minutes of cheerleading the few survivors on from the grave over the mic!MrDeckard said:
I have the CoD 4 glitch. The way it works is if you have cheats enabled and you pick up you 15th or 30th intels (the amount required for the two relevant achievements), then it doesn't pop. Annoying. And the worst part is there's no way to clear the amount of intel you have, it's related to your gamertag so you can't get it by deleting your campaign saves. So basically you just can't get it.Zac Smith said:
OT: My Halo:Reach won't let me have 'If they came to hear me beg'. I must have spent several hours just trying to get it, and even after watching all the 'tips and tricks' videos I still can't get it. That's what's preventing me from getting the full 1400 in Halo:Reach.
On the whole I am a bit addicted to gamerscore. I love the initial thrill of playing through a game to get all the achievements. Although, that said, I did used to love games that rewarded you with content, not just a meta-score. For example: Timesplitters 2.
I used to play it a lot, and honestly I found it seriously fun to play through the campaign on hard. I didn't do it because I got gamerscore, I did it because I unlocked sweet characters and a massive sense of achievement. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, while the gamerscore and challenge both create a feeling of accomplishment, I think the latter is more wholesome overall.
Oh man, that one was tame compared to 'Annual' on Halo 3. It really did not help that several times a friend of mine (and it was ALWAYS the same guy) would have to go at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME. That or his crappy-ass connection would time-out. We must have done that damn level about 30 times. The worst example was when I (I was the first ghost in our column) was literally about 5 seconds from making the final jump, when he said he had to go and cut out. That pissed me off. I do now have it though, and am proud of my 1750g in Halo 3 (although I had 1750g before I got annual, the additional 0g gave me completion, which was nice)MrDeckard said:
I've never had an achievement glitchso that I couldn't get, but I have had achievements glitch where I get them for no reason. An example is the S*M*A*S*H achievement inf Team Fortress 2. Out of the blue I got it for no reason.
All the time. Whenever there's an achievement that involves online friends, I will never get it. I have no friends. Especially friends that play the same games I do.
