How come the games with the good multiplayer don't have many or any online achievements, and the games with bad multiplayer have mostly multiplayer achievements

If they already know you'll be playing multiplayer extensively, why give incentives to do so?

I am not a good person to ask since I don't care about achievements/trophies.

So they could be multiplayer for all I care. I rarely play online, but I think it would be nice to have all achievements be offline and then a set of online achievements such as armor sets.

Good/Bad is completely subjective, so there are plenty of good games with multiplayer achievements.
See: Halo and AC: Brohood off the top of my head.

The only thing that irks me about them is the knowledge that some time in the not-too-distant future, it will be wholly impossible to get them.

Why does that matter?

I put "Don't Care" because I don't farm them. But some games have very fun achievements that establish new challenging ways to look at a campaign or multiplayer, and in that case I really like them.

The only online achievements that get to me are the ones that require you to get to an insanely high rank. Like in DJ Hero 2, you get an achievement for 50 points that requires you to get to rank 50 online.

Note that after about 15 or so online games, I'm something like rank 5. And the higher your level, the longer it takes to rank up. Good God.

The only Bad Company 2 achievement I don't have is Et Tu, Brute?

Timeshift and Fracture both had mostly online achievements and were some of the worst online games I'd ever played.

I hate multiplayer achievements for the most part. I can't recall any online achievements that actually prompted me to try something new.

Because he may want them.

What bothers me is that some of the multiplayer achievements need interactions with multiple others. Rarely in my case will several friends play the same game as me, thus making the achievements too inconvinient.

If one can make the achievements on one's own, then great. If not, eh, tough luck, I guess.

As an Achievement Whore Hunter, let me say that I hate all multiplater achievements. They tend to me more grind-tastic than single player achievements, on average. We would all be better off wothout them.

[sup][sup]Yeah, my Gamerscore isn't excessively high, but I think I've played enough to make a generalization...[/sup][/sup]
This. If they are only like "Complete 1 ranked match" or a Co-op game like in Uncharted 2, thats fine. AC Brotherhood cam go fuck itself if it expects me to play through all the way to Level 50 (The SP is fantastic, MP is...meh)
Yeah I am one of the ones who have the original 1000 in Fear 2. There is a special place in hell for devs who make stupid grinding online achievements.

I think bad company 2 had some online achievements, but you're right most of the good multiplayer games don't bother putting them in.

Pretty sure l4d 1 and 2's achievements are almost exclusively multiplayer and that is a great multiplayer game.

Just sayin'

They usually seem there as a way to go 'look at our multiplayer!', and then force people to play it. Sometimes this ends up being sodding awful multiplayer, or barren after 2 days due to everyone playing more popular games.

In the case of games that are obviously never going to have the multiplayer pull of CoD, Halo, Battlefield, whatever the current racing game is, it's a desperate attempt to drag achievement whores into a multiplayer section that, chances are, is only there because every game must have multiplayer now!

Because I like getting my Platinum trophies? If you clearly care nothing for Trophies or Achievements, why are you posting in this thread?
I was wondering about peoples rationale for getting them.

I've heard countless stories of people spending hours grinding for the online achievements for that one.

Also, the Fable 2 hero dolls, you can only get them by trading with friends. Shit outta luck if I don't have Gold, isn't it?
Hours??? Per day maybe lol. The party I ended up with were doing it 8-10 hours a day for almost a month. It was crazy. It practically became a full time job in itself. A month of doing the hokey pokey with control points. One guy snapped his disc in half and sent the rest of us pics when he was done lol.

I did make a couple good xbl friends because of it though.

I like it when you have to perform specific stunts online. Like Battle Field run some one over with the Helicopter, that was fun. Killing 100,000 people no. Play 1000 games online,no. Reach highest level, no. Like transformers WfC. Reach a total level of 100. The game is laggy and the community is split thanks to the maps that Im not going to buy because the game lags out by the end of the match.

A good multiplayer game gives the player its own self contained rewards, such as new emblems or titles.

I put "don't care".

Unlike singleplayer games, I hardly go out for multiplayer achievements. I like them, it feels nice to get that achievement, but I prefer singleplayer achievements.
