Set up a car ramp near the ferris wheel, drive down the road and hit it, then hope you hit 3 flip. Best done with the DLC car, the skinny buggy one

You can probably get four flips if you use the DLC buggy. You don't even need a ramp, there's a lip near the one of the beaches you can use.

I thought you could get the forward and backward flips with the buggy by just driving up the wall there at the beach. The way the car is designed, even as it flips onto its back and continues rolling back to rightside-up, it counts as not stopping the flip.

It was the rolls I had the most trouble with.

Fear 2 has one where you have to rank up to a 4 star general or something. The thing is, you have to play for like 300 hours to get enough exp for that. And fear 2 multi sucks, so...

Near the beach is where I got the other stunts completed, using that angled rock and the SUV jump. But it's short half a flip, so maybe I'll try it with the ramp.

In general: Difficulties that dont stack (huge no-no)
DMC4

well there kinda is a reason for DMC4 achievements not stacking... If youre going for the 1000 you'll need to play through all difficulties to grind for kills, orbs etc. and S-ranking every level on Human is actually much harder than S-ranking on Devil Hunter - due to enemies dying so easily, thus making it very difficult to rack up decent style points

Turok's team-killing multiplayer achievement that they removed with a patch. Only a dumbshit clueless producer would come up with something that stupid.

I didn't even bother to attempt that and the learn all skills achievements for the immortals. I had no idea what I was missing.

Forza 2.

"Buy all cars from <insert region here>" and the secret achievements (buy all production cars, buy all race cars, buy all cars).

I got everything from everyone except some Porsche and Audi cars in Germany and most of the Japanese cars. To get enough money to buy all these things I'd need to run 36 simulated R1/Sebring endurance races. I'd rather play, y'know, games instead of dedicating my Xbox to simulated races for an entire week.

And there's the whole "get 1mil credits online" achievement. I don't want to play Forza 2 online for a long ass time.

yeah that shit looked ridiculous. Basically asking you to press A (or whatever the examine button was) on fucking everything.

Isn't there a teamkill achievement in Turok?

There was, but it was patched out on launch day.

FEAR 2's got an achievement for committing suicide 5 times.

I know this because I just now unlocked it accidentally by shooting rockets on to enemies in close proximity to myself. Got it purely by coincidence and of course being shit at the game $:-\$ .

Do you really want to use Kinect for 100 days in a row?

i like the coincidence that this thread gets bumped right as I'm going through FEAR 3. Of course I'm playing it on the PC so I couldn't care less about the achievements this time 'round (lol steam).

Mortal Kombat's mastery achievement is completely distinguished mentally-challenged, but at least you can just leave your console on for a month for it to unlock itself

I could fill a page with distinguished mentally-challenged achievements though.

chronovore · « **Reply #83 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:33:28 PM »

I honestly believe that j-devs Just Don't Get Achievements.

There are a few on my team who are die-hard Xbox fans, and they actually know how to design an interesting Achievement. But mostly people own the PS3, no-one cares about Trophies, and the general consensus seems to be very much, "Oh, these are supposed to be hard, so let's make most of them nearly impossible."

iconoclast · « **Reply #84 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:53:52 PM »

But most of the best achievements come from Japanese developers. A good achievement should be 1) hard to get and 2) completely dependent on player skill.

A perfect achievement set would be something like: 500 points just for playing through a game normally, an additional 200 points for playing it on the highest difficulty, 100 points for oddball achievements, and the final 200 points should be reserved for the absolute best players who can complete the most difficult tasks (note: grinding to level 99999 or collecting 1000000 turds is NOT difficult - just time consuming). For example, 1cc'ing a game, getting the highest grade on every mission, getting a high score, etc. No collectathon achievements and especially no multiplayer achievements.

A game that's easily completable by anyone does not have good achievements.

You know a game is japanese when you have to play it 30 fucking times
