Best and Worst Achievements/Trophies

[Cowutopia]

So you didn't like any contra game or any of the Mega Man or Ninja Gaiden games then?

Hate: Sim 30 years in franchise (Fuck you Madden 06) and I heard one of the NBA games has one where you have to sim 60 YEARS?!?!?!?! FUUUUUUCK that. I want to play my games, not sit and watch for days while they play themselves. I also don't like, as has been mentioned, the come in first in a multiplayer game cuz I'm usually not as good as everyone else. And yeah, Fallout 3's big achievements for reaching the levels as all the styles is some serious bullshit, although that game does have high replayability.

Love: Checkpoint ones. Conan, RE5 and others made me feel good about progressing through the game by giving me an achievement for just beating the level, no matter the difficulty, and that makes me want to keep playing sometimes even when the game isn't that good (Frontlines). Teired unlockables, one that I liked in Fallout (but never got cuz I only knew where one was) was the bobble heads, which I'm pretty sure you got one for collecting half and another for collecting all. Naruto has a similar approach as do other games, that makes me feel like even if I don't find everything thats fine cuz my searching was still rewarded mid way/third of the way whatever.

There are more for both I'll stop there for now.

I'm saying that there's no skill involved in passing the level, unless you consider memorizing the location of the bad guys and when to toss a flash bang as "skill." The way to pass it is to play it over and over until you memorize the layout of everything. That's trial and error, and it's tedious.

It is all about skill, you have to hit everything perfectly to have a chance. Like Cow said, it is really no different than those Contra/MM/2D scrollers of old where you have to memorize and EXECUTE perfectly to finish.

Stupid ass COD Waw story achievements not being unlockable during co-op play is gay. Gears 2 and Halo 3 do it right, why was it overlooked for WaW?

Achievements I hate the most are the fucking item hunts. I dont mind getting some of the shit and getting some achievements but collecting 100% of anything for points is lameass.

Achievements not stacking for difficulty levels is also gay. Play through on Hard but dont get the pts for the lower difficulties too? Retarded.

I am also a fan of the check point achievements. I am not a fan of people who boost though as a side note

[Timber]

I'm still completely indifferent to this achievement jazz. I never bother to look at them until after I've gotten them and even then it's only like 10% of the time. I just play the game until I'm done and move on.

Meh, those games at least didn't try to hide their design. After playing the entire game of MW, to have that last level pull that shit on you didn't sit well with me, especially when nothing else in the entire game was like it. I know it's a bonus level and all, but I'm not going to play it a hundred times over to get some 20 point achievement.

I'm sure Infinity Ward LOLed pretty hard at how they owned achievement whores everywhere by fiddling with the full 1000/1000 of their game!

[kingoffighters]

Melf, admit it that you are pissed because you couldn't 1000/1000 COD4, not because that achievement is flawed.

[Melf]

Yeah, it kind of irks me that I'm missing that one, but like I said, it's not worth the work now. Maybe someday I'll get it!
