I hate "find Item" achievements

I hate when games with finding item achievements that dont advance your game or give you much points. I can understand if the developers put these items in such places where in the course of the game you will find the item but when they do like halo and put it in areas where you would not even attempt to go. The only game I can think of where after you found the items you had fun with what you got out of them is call of duty 4. They gave you slo-mo, infinite ammo, basically things that kept you coming back.

I know what some of you are saying stop being an achievement whore, but achievements keep you playing your old games.

it's okay, i'm a whore too. achievement whore, i mean. and i agree, the only thing that's keeping me from 1000/1000 in Assassin's Creed is those damn flags..ctfvyrsgurbnorn

I hate them also, down with the FIND achievements!!! Also Burnout Paradise has them also.

.

if your an achievement whore, enlist in the POiNTS union, oh and this has nothing to do with the fact that im the leader :)

Seriously, if you ever see anyone on XBL who has 1000/1000 for AC you're looking at a person who is addicted to getting achievement points. Chances are they have the Avatar, TMNT, and BK games completed on their profile as well.gameguy6700

lol! yea definately.

And i hate those flag achivements with a passion..i gave up on those after i only found 19 of the masayaf flags.

I'm not an achievement whore, but i will go out of my way to get some. However, I'm the same with Assassin's Creed. I tried looking up a guide online, but i just couldn't do it. There is really no point for me to go back and get all the flags, plus i don't remember which ones I've already gotten so i would have to waste a lot of time checking every place, even if i didn't need to.

:lol: I wouldn't mind joining.

Now I agree and I disagree.

I love how CoD4 did the collection achievements, because they actually reward you ingame with cheat modes on top of achievements.

I HATE how Assassins Creed did it. Collect 100-some flags for a measely 20 GS? I dont think so, make it 50 or something then maybe but Im not wasting that much time.

Finding the COG Tags in Gears of War was great since most had markers nearby.

Finding the Skulls in Halo3 is not fun because of their egotistical placements.

I have given up on finding the intellegence laptops in COD4 after finding 22, it would be nice if they would tell you how many are left in each mission.

You're welcome. :D

I am not a fan of working for day's to find things that give me nothing more in game experience!

I have all the cog tags in gears and the laptops in CoD 4 but that is because I found them while playing.

Forget those flags in AC

Uh, they do. Just go into the cheats menu while you are playing, and it will say 'You have found X out of X whatchamacallits on this mission.'. Or something similar to that.
