Achievements for completing a chapter. Congratulations, you did something most people would have done anyway.
Achievements for collecting the first of anything (not all of them) or like it was in Mass Effect 2 with the achievement for your first landing on a planet. Congratulations you got an achievement for something that was compulsory!

Too Human had an achievement for dying 100 times.

A FUCKING ACHIEVEMENT.

FOR DYING.

But it is really not surprise, seeing as you die every two minutes in that game.

Insane in the Membrane on WoW.

No, it's not hard, but who in the right mind goes and farms rep factions like the Darkmoon Faire and Eldre'Thalas?

The WoW achievement Insane in the Membrane, it takes months of straight up grinding. And even then, you need either a rogue yourself or a rogue friend to farm thousands of lockboxes for the syndicate.

The individual instrument challenges in Guitar Hero: Metallica are infuriatingly difficult; the drum isn't that bad, and the guitar is do-able, but the bass is ridiculously difficult, and the vocal challenge is practically impossible because of the broken singing. I also find the achievements that require 4 people to be really stupid.

I scored all the achievements in Enchanted Arms just for working through the normal game. That's pathetic.
Theres achievements for Enchanted arms?

Yep, but it's EVERYTHING you have to do anyway to complete the game. The only one I'm proud of is Defeat the Queen of Ice, because she was a ***** to take down.

I expected Braid (XBLA version) to have some clever achievements, but they were effectively just complete the chapter things.

i actually got Little Rocket Man in the 360 version of The Orange Box for, wait for it, 30 points. I started out thinking it would be fun and easy, but keeping it in the car was legendarily annoying. I had invested so much time in the damn thing at that point that I felt like I couldn't quit it then.

An example of a good achievement can be found in Bioshock 2 in Ryan Amusements. Use telekinesis to smash a golf club into one of the wax Andrew Ryans.

I'm fine with those, so long as they don't make up the entire list. Give me something to work for.

Mass Effect 1's achievements actually boosted your character, which was nice. However, I'm questioning the person who had the idea to make the "Complete 80% of the game with this character" achievements. Tedium at its finest and the only thing forcing you to play the game over 3 times (doing ALL the side missions). It wouldn't be so bad if some of the planets weren't filled with so many mountains that you curse the planets' level designers, but there you have it.

There's a reward in the original Smash Bros. for beating Very Hard while taking NO DAMAGE.
In the entire career.

There is one game that has an achievement for pressing the start button.
That wouldn't be Eat Lead would it?

I just hate achievements that have a value that doesn't end in a 5 or a 0. There's one in Fifa 09 that's worth 1 point and it's for scoring in the 89th minute. Now, I don't play football games. My brother bought it to play with some of his friends on XBL, but he has to use my account to play online.

Now, if I want to get my score back to normal I have to get another achievement in Fifa 09 that's worth 19 points. It's for playing the game for 50 hours. Swell.
On the Orange Box:

Two Points
Score a shot with Dog's ball in the scrap yard. - 2G Its kind of infuriating that it's only 2 points.

Ohhhh... that explains it. I have Enchanted Arms on PS3, not 360. There's no trophies for the ps3 version. God I'm braindead today. I'll just back to playing Rise of a Ninja...

Two words: Vidmaster Annual, mostly because every single one of my friends had done it already when I decided to go for it and no one was left. Then my one friend who promised to do it with me if I found other people went and did it behind my back. I still don't have that achievment then again I was never any good at Halo so it probaly would've been a challenge.
