'Lost' Achievements

[Davey Woo]

The ones I don't like are where you have to reach number 1 in the online leaderboards (GRAW 1 is an example) Apart from being next to impossible anyway, most people have glitched their scores to get the achievement.
Also GRID won't give me the dam achievement for lapping everyone on the field!!!

The only achievement I'm bitter about is Highway to Hell on Mercenaries 2. Because of a fairly common bug, I can't get it. At all. Ever. Because I've done the requirements, and it doesn't unlock. It doesn't even unlock if I repeat the whole thing from a new game on a completely different console with a completely different copy of the game.

I am now doomed to forever having 990/1000. Bah!

The same bug can prevent the trophy for it unlocking on the PS3 version as well.

EA/Pandemic can apparently not be arsed to fix it.

BAH!

As much as I love them, all the half-life games have been too easy, even on the hardest settings.

Try getting The One Free Bullet achievement in Ep1. Running through the entire game, unable to use any bullet weapons, beating one of those giant sandlions by throwing boxes into him repeatedly, then NOT getting the goddamn achievement.

And I think it was because I used a shotgun instead of a pistol to break the gate at the start.

This!
While I have had alot of fun getting trophies on the PSN (Achievements for the 360), in reality, it really means nothing, apart from an extra challenge and a way for Developers to get you to play your games longer.

Honestly, I enjoy getting the little popup telling you that achievements have been unlocked. Especially after I've carted a fucking concrete gnome across 6 fucking levels, including two fucking vehicle sections and a shootout with a fucking helicopter, just to dump him in a rocket.

Wow, that was needlessly aggressive.

You're right, how could I be so inconsiderate? Man, what kind of a horrible monster am I, seeking out the children, the future generations, the ones who will make a difference, solve all our problems, cure AIDS Cancer and set up colonies on Mars. I should have considered his feelings and needs first. You're all a bunch of sensitive and special little flowers, unique snowflakes who require constant esteem boosts to ensure your ego balloon isn't deflated by the mean people of the world. There there, I'm sure your mummies still love you all and will give you big hugs and remind you how you're all going to grow up to be doctors and scientists and the President of the Future. Don't worry, despite what the movies, TV and the internet say, Reality is actually a warm and fuzzy place, full of flowers and leprechauns and candy trees, where everybody dances around, smiling and singing and being happy all day long. Nothing bad ever happens and everybody lives in harmony.

AIDS Cancer ?! That sounds bad...
Also, you need to calm down a bit.

Meh, I usually play a game until I have unlocked all the achievements, except for the online ones, and if the game is popular then they will keep the servers up, if not they won't.

Haha, wow that would be hard towards the end, fighting all those combine with just your crowbar. And then to not get it. That's just... ouch. I think I might leave that one alone, but the gnome sounds fun.

You still get to use rockets, grenades, crowbars, crossbow bolts and the grav gun, just not bullets.

Also, you need to calm down a bit.

Someone tells you that life is beautiful, but needs you personally to make a difference, else it will all come crashing down and you say they need to calm down a bit?

Man, some people's children.

Ah ok, that's a plus at least you can use the gravity gun.
