The achievements in Mass Effect give you bonuses to every character from then on. Getting x kills with an Assault Rifle allows any new characters to use assault rifles, for example. If more games did this, I'd love achievements more than I currently do [cough]50,000GS[/cough]GonzoGamer said:Hi I hate achievement trophies, I prefer to be rewarded with things you can use in the game (like how stealing all the cars in GTA used to get you a respawning stock of cars) instead of useless and arbitrary points.
It would be nice if they could do both;
but they don't so I hate them.
Become a perfectionist when it comes to getting all of your achievementsMrsnugglesworth said:Hi, I am not an achievement whore, but I'd like to be one. How do I start?
Why should I. Are you trying to say that this has been done before or something? Or did you make your own in an attempt to usurp me.Pi_Fighter said:Search "achievement whores anonymous"
This has been done in the Off Topic forum... several days before you originally posted. Not by me though I am not an achievement/reward whore.shadowelancer said:Why should I. Are you trying to say that this has been done before or something? Or did you make your own in an attempt to usurp me.
That's the way it should work: the achievement trophy coincides with an in game reward but my point is that for the most part, they don't. And even when they do the rewards have been getting crappier: back to GTA4, getting the endangered species achievement/collecting the "hidden packages" got you a crappy attack chopper in the middle of the city (nowhere near a safehouse) rather than an arsenal in your safehouse.Meado said:The achievements in Mass Effect give you bonuses to every character from then on.

I will, cause last i checked i'm a hell of a lot closer than you are. like i said my game is inaccessible right now. halfway in the process of moving so most of the games are packed away and none of us thought not to pack it. of course i went crazy ***** on everyone and flipped out the day we moved so its understandable hahaFrank_Sinatra_ said:Mmmhmm...
