Worst achievements.....

[Mrsoupcup]

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?

I have it for beeting the majority of the game once........

I love getting achievements. Even got the achievement in GTA IV for killing a guy who's a worker in the Rockstar studio. Sadly I was using my brother's Xbox Live account at the time

Fortunately that achievement is viral (meaning if I kill a developer then you kill me, you get the achievement too), otherwise no one would have it, because even Rockstar employees have lives.

This is one of the most awesome achievements in existence, one which I flaunt proudly. Shame on you for hating this - the killing 350+ grubs one is more of a pain in the ass, mostly because it's about 1/100th as fun.

Personally one great game where the achievements are in no way worth getting is Forza 2. You mean I have to work my ass of winning COUNTLESS races to get all gold medals - and you're going to reward me with a WHOLE 30 POINTS? Gee thanks.

Silent Hill Homecoming had an achievement for each monster.
You only had to kill that monster type once.

Anyone online or multiplayer achievements.
It seems like most of them can only be done with the random occurrence of having a coherent partner.

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?

It gives a player a goal to do something after the life of the game would normally be done with.

I actually like stuff like that a lot.

I don't, however, enjoy achievements/trophies that are needless. For example, Prince of Persia had it pretty good. All done variously well, some felt too easy, but nothing hard.

Then, the Combo Specialist achievement/trophy was retarded. The game is about platforming and the combat is something to change the pace of this. It was just really boring and tedious.

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

Sorry to use an unnecessary picture to make a point, but I'm pretty sure there were about a dozen threads on this in the last month. Very few new games with cripplingly retarded achievements have come out in that time.

It's actually not that hard if you use a guide on Youtube. Only three Striders actually blow up buildings.

I have to say the "Collect x large numbers of y nobody cares about." Like in Red Faction, they have ore, propaganda and supply crates. Ugh. Assassin's Creed is the worst offender though...

I'm sure even the most zealous achievement whores (which, I should add, I am!) won't bother. It's just like,"Okay, we get it, the game is pretty. Do you really want me to spend two million years looking for some useless items that give NO BONUSES AT ALL!?"

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.

It's actually not that big of a deal, since it doesn't affect Platinum trophies on the PSN, and the achievements usually are related to the DLC. Except for some 400 MS point DLC for Army of Two which just gave new multiplayer achievements. That pissed me off.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

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

lots of trophy,s in there made little sense

 

[Kajt]

Achievements that doesn't explain what you have to do to earn them, like that shoot a rockstar achievement from GTA IV or the rare string of infection one from Left 4 Dead.

 

[DragunovHUN]

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.

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

Achievements are meant to indicate what you have or haven't done in the game.

Thats the whole point of the achievement, only a true completionist would do that
Pffft, who can be bothered

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.

Im glad I never played this game further than the Hilarious first level. Most pathetic game Ive ever had the displeasure of playing.

If I had to go for stupid achievements/Trophies would be the Platinum trophies on PS3. You get a platinum trophy for getting every other trophy which just feels plain stupid to me.

Or the ones for playing the Tutorial. I dont want to play the tutorial. Ill just read the controls while game loads then play it.

All the platinum represents is a 'mastering' of the game. For some games, like Prince of Persia, it's simple. For others, it's actually an achievement to do everything. For example, Rock Band 2.

 

[dweomermaster]

Any achievement which you get just from turning on the fucking game!

sounds like the first achievement in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.... that was pointless and not even that funny....

 

[Torque669]

I know what you mean. The achievements on Guitar Hero/Rock Band games are actually Achievements and act to the fact its just a game but Prince of Persia easy? I think not. You have to spend about 6-7 Pounds to buy the epilogue to get all the trophies and collecting all those light Seeds was one of the worst longetivity scams ever.

yeah same fro xboxlive also the first 5 minutes of the game are stuffed with progress achievements

 

[ConnorCool]

'let sleeping rockstars lie' from GTA4. you have to kill one of the game developers online, and the chances of doing that are minimal

 

[Inco]

all of the halo 3 achievements that require you to be on lone wolves especially mongoose mowdown.

They were quite fun, but kinda ruined the game when people say 'lets do achievements' cause i just end up sniping em where they meet up.
I think the achievements for Guitar hero 3 count, cause most of em are basically 'do this song on expert'. When in fact the hard version of the song is almost impossible (Raining Blood anyone?)
