Worst achievements.....

[tucanjamal]

What are the worst achievements/trophies in yuor opinon?

Mine would have to be Remember September '44 because to get it you have to play on a certain day which seems stupid

Those ones you get for beating a level. I'll take the ones for beating the game but not the levels. Thats just dumb.

Never understood this, achievements acting like check marks of progress seems to make enough sense to me. Achievements that require you to beat one of the designers of the game, its just a little stupid.

Also Hidden achievements are retarded.

Mine would probably be Prince of Persia, you get a silver trophy for starting the game.

If a level is very difficult I can see a reward for it. COD4 on Veteran mode is really difficult.

I'll go with Mass Effect's completionist achievement... Seriously? They want us to go over the game fully 4 times, completing EVERYTHING each time?

So achievements are made to record progress in games? I kinda thought the save button was for that...

Not to record progress as much as to act as a little reward for completing a small milestone of the game.

I agree like the off the boat in gta 4 not sure if that's in the ps3 version but yea it was like hey your playing our game have a cookie. Or at least that's what it seemed like to me.

Um, what?

I've only played through Mass Effect once and I have this achievement. You just need to do 90% of the game's quests and missions.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

All of Eat Lead's achievements. They're hilarious, but mostly pointless. Like you get one for pausing the game.

I might be wrong but they might be talking about getting the ally things to. Not sure but yea.

 

[Slipknot9]

For worst acheivements I have to give it to assassins creed. The flag acheivements are rediculous.

DouBULL TrouBULL - 1 Gamerscore

Basically, you get it for killing 2 minotaurs. You have no choice if you want to finish the game, they are in 1 place near the end and you can't continue until they are dead. Also, it gives you another achievement 10 seconds after this one apologizing for the terrible pun... which is cool, I guess.

I believe this may take the cake for this.

Erm... That's Brother's in Arms: Hell's Highway. The reason for that achievemnt is because the game is centred around Market Garden and the achievement is sorta tied in with that that's when it actually happened. There are other worse play time achievements in that game. Like the one that demands you play once a day for 100 days straight.

 

[tucanjamal]

There is a point for the achievements you receive when completing a level. It entices the player to beat the game, and the achievements are logged on Xbox Live. This allows developers to see statistaclly how many people, who play their games, actually beat it.

In a development view, these achievements provide a vital role in the development of future games.

That is understanable but there comes a point when you have to step back and be like Really?! you want me to jump through a flaming hoop while on a pogo stick shooting a sniper rifle at something a mile away

 

[Cylem]

In Harvest Moon: Magical Melody there's an acheivement for standing completely still for like, five minutes straight.

...

WHY!?!

 

[Bat Vader]

It just screams re-playability.

 

[Evilbunny]

Those stupid achievements in Assassin's Creed that required you to collect all those flags. Really, who the hell would do that? Who is THAT desperate for achievements?
