Red Faction Guerrilla: Working the Land (Mine all 300 ores), Lost Memories (Find all radio tags), Broken Supply Line (wreck 250 EDF supply crates)

-Cause spending 6 hours finding them all only to figure out you missed 2 ores and going back to find them is awesome


Dead Rising: Zombie Genocider (kill 53,594 zombies without dying)

-8 hours of running over zombies was just so much fun


Assassin's Creed 2 - Collect all 100 feathers

-fun...


Left 4 Dead 2 - All campaigns beat on expert and 1 campaign on expert realism

-needs no explanation

I avoid doing anything that I would find annoying. If there is ever an achievement for finding collectible I usually use a guide.

Assassin's Creed 2 - Collect all 100 feathers

I would never do that or the GTA 4 pigeons. Even in the PS3 game Infamous my last trophy is to find all the blast shards, which will also give me the platinum trophy for getting all the trophies. I don't care what it's worth, I'm not wasting that much time doing something so boring.

I use guides too but when there's just so much crap to get chances are I'll miss 1 or 2.


Just look at this crap.Check off all 4 boxes on the right.

Getting all 200 pigeons in GTA IV, especially since I missed two and had to look all over again. I used to try and get 100% achievement completion for most of my games, but after GTA IV, I just don't care anymore.

I haven't gotten it yet but I'm one action from getting all 104 guerilla actions in Red Faction. God that achievement is such a pain in the ass. I've spent 7 hours trying to find the last one.I think its glitched. Did you get that one OP/TC?

I just play the game and ignore achievements. Gamerscores serve absolutely no purpose at all. In fact I will be laughing evilly when a million nerds cry when Microshaft decides to remove them.

ive yet to do that. lovely. however, those achievements are awful. 100 feathers in AC2 was bad but nowhere near as dreadful as finding all the pigeons in GTA4. from now on, im just going to not collect any of those and use the map at the end. i usually do but having to decipher which ones i gotten, which i havent and which ive missed is probably even worse than just going here and getting this feather/flag/bird/ingot/annoyingturditem

"Little Rocket Man"Half Life, I was about to pull my hair out.

Mile High Club was ok for me. I got Fallout 3 for pc so I don't have to do achievements :)

Last one Seriously 2.0 (gears of war 2) took over re-doing chapter 5 part 4 over and over again. you know were you are riding a Brumak and you get 300-400 kills per run.

the pigeons from GTA 4, all the weapon achievements for ninja gaiden II(beat the game while only using one weapon, and since you don't start with all the weapons, you had to make a NG+ 7 times), 75% completion w/ each character in Mass Effect, all the accuracy achievements in Civil War, all documents and photographs in Civil War, Kill 750 enemys, kill 100 enemys w/ pistols, kill 75 enemys w/ knives, all from Civil War, find all locations in the Bog in Fallout 3's Point Lookout DLC, all the serpents in Brutal Legend, Play in a quick match w/ once w/ each faction in C&C3 kane's wrath, not an achievement but beating the 2nd to last mission in the NOD campaign in C&C3 tib wars(to my knowledge noone has beating this on a console), surround one piece w/ 6 black pearls in Hexic HD, Pin 50 enemys to a tree w/ a bow in Turok.

Lots of guys have the same problem on x360a, it's glitched and you have to play it all over again apparently, I'm going for all Guerrilla actions soon and hoping it works out. You could try clearing the cache.

I don't see the fascination with chasing down achievements, especially ones that force you to do something tedious and un-rewarding like a random collectathon. Its funny how the game industry claims to be so far ahead, but relies on something so archaic to game design to fill that achievement system.

I'm not really an achievement guy, but the most annoying one I've ever tried for (still haven't gotten it yet) would be the Brass Balls achievement in BioShock. I was replaying the game to get ready for the 2nd game and I decided to challenge myself to get it, but I just found it more annoying than anything. I would up having to save like every 20 minutes to make sure I didn't lose all my progress because I kept dying, especially on Big Daddies. I probably would have finished it, but I just started running out of time and realized I wasn't going to finish it before the 2nd one came out so I just stopped playing. I might go back for it eventually but not anytime soon.

I don't have many of those - I love me some achievements, but I can't bring myself to complete those that are just grinding with no other reward. Some games get it right by also tying lame item searches to in-game unlocks, and those I can stomach. But the others...not a chance. GTA4's pigeon-hunt is a prime example. Idiotic inclusion in the game. Having said that, I did get the race achievement in GTA4, the 5000 mile achievement in Test Drive Unlimited, and I have one achievement in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Anyone who's played that game knows that getting a single achievement is both tedious and annoying, and utterly pointless. Yay.

Well there are a lot of difficult achievements(mile high club) but I wouldn't classify them as tedious or annoying. Collection achievements are tedious! And thats why I don't go for them.
