Left 4 Deads "Nothing Special" achievement is a right cunt too.

yeah, few guys on my list have every other achievement but this one. speaking of valve ones, who has little rocket man in HL2? ive never seen that one done, but i know its doable.

im tempted to get the Phantasy Star 2 ones just cause i dont know how many jrpg fans these days can finish that beast of a game, but i cant honestly see myself sticking with it, either...it was my first one, but fuck is it mean.

 

[speedpop]

Probably the World Events achievement in WoW, specifically the "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" one.

It takes a year to complete.

 

[Narag]

Multiplayer achievements often do come across as a dick move on the part of the developer, particularly when the game in question is niche.

At the very least, the more esoteric ones should be left in for bragging rights but at zero points.

 

[Ten-Song]

Any FPS mutiplayer achievements, when the game is more then 3 months old. Everybody has moved on and you are lucky to find a game.

Seriously, online focused achievements blow ass. I was dead set on trying to get a perfect 1000 points out of Resident Evil 5, then the online achievements bumped it up to 1200, and all of the online achievements are stupid. I hate that shit SO MUCH.

 

[speculawyer]

2. Pretty much any Achievement in Pain.

Well, yeah . . . being that it is a PS3 exclusive, it is pretty hard to win an 'achievement' for it.


But seriously, wasn't there some NBA Live thread about getting an achievement while playing a game along with 10000 other players simultaneously. Except the game kinda sucked so there was no way that many people would buy the game and play simultaneously. :lol

 

[FateBreaker]

Star Ocean: TLH's 100% Battle Trophies. That is quite literally nearly impossible.

 

[Revolutionary]

WipEout HD - Zone Zeus

Cannot for the life of me get it... and I consider myself a WipEout vet.

 

[~capsule]

Ridge Racer 6's achievements come to mind...

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Zone Zeus and Beat Zico in Wipeout. Impossible for many of us...

Also, the gold SOCOM trophies. Freaking insane, I don't even want to know how many thousands of hours would you need for those.

Pacific Rift comes to mind as well. Getting everything gold is... difficult. :|

 

[Dementia]

WipEout HD - Zone Zeus

Cannot for the life of me get it... and I consider myself a WipEout vet.

Syncopia, and airbrakes only (they have to set to R2/L2 and be around 80% sensitivity).

Do it.

Spoiler

Just got my Wipeout Platinum today

The most challenging tophies I've come across are in Warhawk. Some of those look so insanely time consuming and difficult. Wipeout HD's were also quite difficult. They take a lot (a lot a lot a lot) of practice.

 

[Router]

Finding all the Hidden Orbs in Crackdown.

I have 10 left and it's something that will haunt me to the grave.

Worst and Best achievement ever!

 

[Bearillusion]

10000 ranked kills in Resistance 2. Ridiculous grinding.

Agreed. 1000 would have been better.

 

[iconoclast]

Shadowrun - kill 100 players of the opposite platform.

Easy as can be for the 3 people who own the PC version. For everyone else - practically impossible.

That is why I hate multiplayer achievements.

 

[Vaandaviii]

In what way are they impossible?

Obviously, in a way many people hasn't got a life out of online gaming. I hate when I buy a new game, win every single match, go on weekend to the mountain and just on monday I suck a lot in that game since there are like two millions of people who have been playing for 72h in a row :lol

 

[MattPeters]

Probably the World Events achievement in WoW, specifically the "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" one.

It takes a year to complete.

Its pretty easy to get though, just takes a while.

You can easily bust off every achievement on the first day of each holiday event.

 

[Macho Madness]

Quake 4

Not to mention it's just about impossible these days, but the online has ALWAYS been broken since Day 1.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

THE LAST REMNANT:

200 POINT achievement for completing a quest and killing a tough boss that only unlocks after ALL side quests have been completed most of which are easily missable because only 2 carry on to the second disc and others disappear after certain story events.

Another 200 Point achievement that require you to have beaten the achievment above. Another super hard boss.

This game doesnt have a single fucking story achievement either. Its infuriating to have played so long only to learn that 45 hours in, STRUGGLING with the fucking battle system that doesnt let me do what i want when i want, that i played the game badly. If i want the best characters, i shouldnt have grinded to barely squeeze by all those bosses during the story. I should have stayed as low of a battle level as possible and grind in certain downloadable areas to max my stats. FUCK THAT SHIT. FUCK YOU SQUARE.

Enchanted arms is a mediocure game but i loved how after every boss battle i got a new achievement.

 

[vocab]

Horse shit. I spent all Halloween trying to get that stupid fucking Halloween Pet. I ran over 100+ HH runs, and didn't get it. Blizzard even threw them in the trick or treat bag, and I still didn't get one. Same shit could happen during brewfest. Fuck Blizzard.

I quit the game after that event.

 

[Scarecrow]

what's worse is linking your gamertag to GiantBomb. I used to be content with earning achievements, but seeing which ones are rare has opened up a whole new ball game.

jesus christ, that's impressively broken. there goes whatever faint interest i had in the game.

i did this with true achievements. it makes even less sense, im guessing: it goes off popularity of title vs rarity of the achievement and allots arbitrary pionts to it, but i totally dont get it: harder-to-get ones are often weighed less: as an example, a friend of mine has "endless setlist" in rock band 1, but "big in sydney" or some shit ranks higher? WTF? dude got an 8x multiplier for "grand pearl poo-bah" or whatever crazy-ass one it is in Hexic.

 

[Aesius]

Grand Pearl Poobah on Hexic.

 

[LevityNYC]

The Rock Band Endless Setlist is ridiculous because the batteries in the guitar might go during 6 hours of non stop play.

 

[Zertez]

The complete collection achievements for each girl in Dead or Alive Extreme 2 were pretty brutal without the glitch. I have only seen 3 people who have 1000 in DoAX2. There is a bug that can force you to erase your save and start over as well.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

I wonder if anyone has got the entire TF2 achievement list on Steam ?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Dead or Alive 4 - Achieved Grade "SS"

 

[Tornado Condor]

CoD 5's final prestige achievement.....

I got that achievement and once i read it i =(

 

[Ashes]

I'm going to second Suoer stardust Hd. Late Boomer and shock and awe. Its a once in a life time only chance kind of thing and you just have to luck it out.
these days I don't even go for online achievements/trophies. Warhawk is a ****.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I need people to validate my Last Remnant frustration. I wont be able to go to sleep until someone does.

 

[Ten-Song]

I wonder if anyone has got the entire TF2 achievement list on Steam ?

That Pyromancer achievement... god that's going to take me forever to get.

 

[Slavik81]

The best part about it is that your percentage complete drops when they release trophies in the DLC. Had 100% complete? Not anymore!

 

[Ten-Song]

Or it can be fucked in an inverse way. I have all achievements in Oblivion, including the shivering isles stuff, but for whatever reason, when I look at it on my 360, it says I have 1250/1000 points... so it won't appear in my completed games list because I have TOO MANY POINTS in the game. What the shit?

 

[Yoshichan]

Warhawk!.

Easy trophy.

Here's a hard one:

General (Gold) Achieve a rank of General.

If you would play the game for 8 hours a day for a year, you'd still only be half way of getting it.

 

[Kujo]

Joust - Wave 100

Achievements that the developers can't get should not be in the game, ugh.

The best part about it is that your percentage complete drops when they release trophies in the DLC. Had 100% complete? Not anymore!

I hate that, the extra achievements should only show if you opt to buy the DLC, otherwise it should remain as a completion.

Tell me about it. CoD5 added more achievements with map pack 2 but i refuse to buy downloadable content so it's impossible to get ther =( If it wasn't for that i'd have a perfect 1000 on it

 

[soco]

Smash TV :

Game Master 50 (G)
Finish the entire game without continuing while using default settings

 

[blame space]

I'm never going to find that last fucking Agility Orb.

 

[somnific]

yeah, few guys on my list have every other achievement but this one. speaking of valve ones, who has little rocket man in HL2? ive never seen that one done, but i know its doable.

nothing special is tough but doable. rocket man is annoying. aperture science is the tough one on orange box, for sure.

 

[iconoclast]

The funny part about this one is that people have completed it, but it's glitched and doesn't unlock! :lol

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Easy trophy.

Here's a hard one:


If you would play the game for 8 hours a day for a year, you'd still only be half way of getting it.

Has anyone got it ?

 

[somnific]

Battlefield: Bad Company - I am Bad Company! - (Online) Achieve all the awards

'all the awards' includes several individual awesome things like 52 kills in a round, 20 headshots in a round and ... 50 savior trophies.

you get one savior trophy by getting 30 savior points in a round, you get 5 savior points by killing an enemy who has put a teammate on low health.

i was so pissed about this one. i was getting in the mindset to 1000 BF:BC, and i had managed to get "there is no 'i' in squad" but when i did a little research and found out that "i am bad company" was glitched (as in no one had it except for gamesavers) i was highly irritated. i pretty much abandoned trying to get all the patches. i've heard that they fixed it a few months ago, but i'm pretty much done with BC for now.

 

[kuYuri]

I was going to mention that NBA Live 07 one as well.

Online with 1,000 people - 100G
Be online when there are 1,000 people online at the same time

Seriously?

 

[Yoshichan]

Has anyone got it ?

I'm pretty sure someone in the world's gotten it without glitching the crap out of the system. Though, obviously, the majority (10 people or something :lol) are people glitching.

 

[XanatharDeath]

3. Beat Echo the Dolphin 3 times without dying
2. Pretty much any Achievement in Pain
1. Beat the Ultimate Endurance Tournament in Trials HD without a fault

Plain and simple : I didn't earn a single trophy in Pain, and I tried. A lot. Ridiculous.

 

[senahorse]

Aren't You Sick of This Yet?

Compete in 1,000 online matches


Tiger Woods 06. Especially hard to accomplish considering a new game comes out each year, and a round takes so long to complete.

 

[user_nat]

The one for becoming a general in Halo Wars, requires something like 3.2m xp and you only get about 3,000 xp per game.

 

[nyong]

I have no problem with extremely difficult single player achievements, but I HATE (HATE) multiplayer achievements. I can think of several FPS I refused to purchase simply because I knew I would have an incomplete achievement list forever. Same with a few of the older XBLA titles.

It's sad in a way, yeah. There are multiple purchases I want to make, and idiotic achievements will give the edge to something else.

[ShortBus]

Soldner-X:
-Impossible unlocked
-Nightmare unlocked

Trash Panic:
-Achieved SSS rank on all Main Dish stages
-All of the HELL-related trophies.

ZEN Pinball:
-All but 6-7 trophies are a nightmare.

Droplitz:
-Adventurer (Survive for 2 hours)

I'm so happy they're fixing this (Or should I say they're giving developers the ability to fix it, not sure if it will apply across the board as soon as it hits) in FW3.0. It only applies to Burnout for me at the moment, but I hate it not showing as 100% complete for the original game.

I'll agree with anyone mentioning online grind achievements. I'll also never Platinum Pacific Rift , getting golds where I'm at in the campaign are just impossible for me currently.

And Pixeljunk Eden, pretty much all of those trophies other than the standard 'get five Spectra in each garden' are ridiculous!
