Worst achievements.....

[Mirroga]

Ones you get for beating levels / chapters of a game, and completing the game once. Its like they're saying "Lets give them free achievements for playing the game till the end." Its as if they're telling us that beating the game once, heck even beating the game per level, is a challenge.

 

[Dorian]

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?

Uhh.... yeah.... Right?

My vote's for achievements that require no skill. How does beating the game on any difficulty show skill?

 

[Haydyn]

I can't remember which ones they were, but I got 2 50 point achievements for joining someone's game on Mercenaries 2.

All achievements do is get people to play the game more to get everything.

 

[Drakmorg]

I got an achievement in Star Wars: Force Unleashed where in the start where you play as Vader, I killed stormtroopers and got the achievement.
I was like "What the... they're rewarding me for friendly fire?"

The achievements that require you to do something REALLY stupid/impossibly difficult...

 

[Gyrefalcon]

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

Yes, I have to agree. If you are going to bother calling it an "achievement" it should unlock something good! The Escapist has it right, they are giving out nifty icon awards to encourage visiting and using their site. Couldn't X-box with all their downloadable content offer up some freebie points for unlocking achievements? Maybe we'd get our friends to play more if they did.

And I'm happy if it helps developers, but that could be done in the background more. All these ones are to me are ways to see how outclassed I am by other players online if I'm rich enough to throw more money away with a "live" subscription. Couldn't we have a special trophy room that looked cool at least?

Auto-chievements that you get for completing mandatory shit. They're so redundant.

Also those that are based completely and solely on random chance ("Needy" and "Greedy" in WoW where you must roll 100 in Need/Greed on superior/epic items).

I think that for every I don't know 1000 gamerscore you get you are rewarded with like 100 microsoft points wouldn't that be nice?

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

its because no one would play so they made it so you get a trophy and achievement (its the same for 360)

i think the worst achievement is save one bullet from orange box its pretty much beat epsode i with using one bullet

 

[PauL o_O]

Soul Calibur IV, You get 5g for watching the intro.

 

[HavingTooMuchFun]

Mine would have to be the book 'Dating for Dummies'.
I never dated in high school. So come Xmas morning, Santa Clause left it for me with the message, "you've earned it." :-(

 

[Dufferking75]

Vidmaster Achievments, most are 0 gamerscore and they are like getting to rank 7 on the 7th day of a month

 

[TiteAce]

Any achievment in that Viking game, what a huge turd of a game

 

[MarxistMan]

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

god i freaking hate those

Wait I never got my 360 achivement for starting prince of persia and now my 360 that ive had since 06 is dead (red ring now video problems at first)

 

[leprecron]

Long Road Ahead for Guitar Hero on Xbox 360: fail a song on easy. People see that and think Haha what a failure

 

[HappyPillz]

I absolutely hate achivements that require you to buy an expansion pack. Like warhawk: you cant get all the trophies unless you spend money buying the new maps and vehicles.
It just seems a bit unfair to me. Not everyone can pay.
