Title: Funniest achievements
Post by: The Sceneman on April 07, 2010, 09:30:41 PM: If youre like me you appreciate it when developers put a little thought and creativity into their achievements, or just make them plain funny.

A couple of my favourites:

Splosion Man - GET THEM OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS 10G: 'Sploded 10 scientists and stopped them spreading their filthy lies.

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard - MEAT YOUR MAKER 10G: Blast all hanging beef.

Red Dead Redemption - BEARLEY LEGAL - Kill and skin 18 bears.

post your favourite zany achievements!

Post by: Ichirou on April 07, 2010, 10:02:18 PM: I like the Assassin's Creed 2 ones:

STREET SWEEPER - Hide 5 dead bodies in a haystack. So you just run around looking for guards to kill so you can hide them all in the same haystack.

PERFECT HARMONY - Dye your clothes with the colors "ebony" and "ivory."

...I guess those aren't that funny.

In a stealth game where you have at most 2-3 targets in any mission.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Post by: pilonv1 on April 07, 2010, 10:20:40 PM: That exactly 47 kills one was nasty.
Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: brawndolicious on April 07, 2010, 10:25:03 PM: I got it by actually wiping out two floors of civilians and guards along with the targets on the hotel level. The only way that you can keep more guards from coming really..

When selecting Ultra Mode, choose to opt out when asked "Are you ready to be murdered every second?" - 5G

ESPGALUDA II:
ムネタツのようにブラックレーベル
Get shot or run into an enemy within 10 seconds of starting Stage 1 in Black Label - 5G

I like how Dead or Alive 4 has five "achievements" for getting beat down, all worth 0 GS:
5/10/20 Straight Losses in DOA Online
Lost 5/10/20 times consecutively in DOA Online Mode.

Achieved Grade "D"
Received the grade of "D" in DOA Online Mode.

Achieved Grade "E"
Received the grade of "E" in DOA Online Mode.

BlazBlue has some good achievement titles/icons too. My favorite:

IIRC you had to kill an enemy, a teammate, a dinosaur, and then yourself to get it.

The one thing I hate the most are Gamer Point whores! what a bunch of f**king backward distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. get a f**king life!! do they seriously think I'm going to log into Xbox live one day, see their Gamer-card and think, WOW!!! He's my hero, he's got 50,000 gamer points!! f**k me!! he must be amazing!!???

The answer is simple, NO! he's a f**king low life c**t with no friends or life and spends to much time playing s**te games like "Open Season" and "Shriek" to rinse as many pathetic worthless f**king gamer points as possible!!

My gamercard has become much better. I used to play children games, but I've leaned towards games I was interested in.
Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: brawndolicious on April 08, 2010, 12:30:53 AM: I think they should hide the gamerscore from anybody who's not on your friend's list. It'd be like quality control to prevent games like Avatar or whatever.
Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: Ichirou on April 08, 2010, 12:31:43 AM: Nah, I like checking friends' friends lists to see what their gamerscores are like.

Seems the "average" gamerscore is around 10k or so.
Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: The Sceneman on April 08, 2010, 12:34:36 AM: Im quite happy with my gamercard, its a legit 46k with only stuff I wanted to play. Only blatant points grab was Dash of Destruction but that was free and took 10 mins to 200. Couldn't resist :P

Title: Re: Funniest achievements

Post by: iconoclast on April 08, 2010, 12:59:11 AM: The only game on my gamercard that I played solely for GS is FIFA 2006... And the only reason I played it is because I wanted an easy 1000 points in order to win Fuzion Frenzy 2 from a contest.

Both games were garbage. :-\

No. It's local MP, and you can apparently do it with any controller, such as a guitar controller. Weird.

Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: muckhole on April 08, 2010, 01:53:10 PM: Oddly, no. I personally didn't play it a whole ton, but it was pretty fun for a while, once I started to figure out how to do the moves. It was a rental with no instructions, and I didn't want to be that guy that is constantly pausing the game to check out the moves lists while they waited.
Title: Re: Funniest achievements
Post by: chronovore on April 08, 2010, 01:57:02 PM: It's not a button masher; most of the reviews for it claimed it was deep, but that you absolutely, positively need to do the Tutorial from start to finish. The other day I had a Ranked match against a guy who had never been in a ground position before. I felt sad for him. But not too sad to win: :punch :punch :punch

Post by: muckhole on April 08, 2010, 01:59:57 PM: Yeah, I might pick it up down the road seeing how cheap it is, and try to get my teeth into it. I'd say we could play over Live, but I'm so rarely able to get on it these days that you might never see me. :'(
