I'm wondering a bit about the (in your opinion) worst achievement ever in a game. It might, be pointless, impossible or just dumb. I'm not asking for the game with the easiest achievements or something like that, just the single dumbest one.

In my opinion the one that irritates me the most right now is:
Team Fortress 2: With Friends Like these... 10G - "Play in a game with seven or more players from your friends list."

I mean, whats the achievement in doing that? The majority of XBL users dont have 7 or more friends on their list, that all own the orange box, who simultaneus play TF2. Is playing TF2 with seven friends really achieving something? This one just encurages cheating.

Please add your single worst, most impossible, stupidest or most pointless achievement.

Havent played that, but it sounds amazingly pointless. I've heard there are even negative achievments, with negative points in them. Like "die 50 times" -5G. Haven't gotten any or even seen them in a game myself though.

Most people don't understand why you said this, until you also note that the credits are 20 minutes long. No lie. You have to watch the whole thing

I had to add a massive amount of strangers for the TF2 achievement and I'm STILL having a hard time getting it. Still don't have it.

The worst achievements are the leaderboard achievements in games like Quake IV and GRAW. Overall, the worst achievements in ANY game are probably Tiger Woods 06.

The achievement in GRAW 1 andforget if its inGRAW 2 or not where you have to be number one in the world in ranked matches. Its rediculous because there is only going to be maybe a hundred people or less who are going to get it.

I know, for most people, thats the only way to get it. Then whats the point of having that achievment?

Another stupid one is the one in Dead Rising were you have to kill over 50 000 zombies for friggin 20G? It's just... it took a while...

Kane And Lynch: Dead Men

I forget what its called but you have to play as Kane, in which you have to be on the number 1 spot on the world wide leader boards and its worth NO points at all.

Stupidest entire set of achievements: Avatar: The Last Airbender. There are only a handful of achievements and they only involve getting a string of consecutive hits. You can get all 1000 achievements in 5 minutes on the TRAINING level.

Achievements for obtaining number 1 on the leaderboard are kind of ridiculous.

I also hate online achievements for arcade games that no one plays...Word Puzzle has a 3-win and 5-win in a row achievement, but to find 3 other ppl. to play is an achievement in itself.

The tea bagging achievement in Shadowrun.

You have to squat on someone who already has the achievement.

I got it totally by accident when I was playing with my friends.

Note: The "Press the start button" achievement in the simpsons game was there for sattire, therefore not stupid.

Well, I hate any type of collecting achievement, I thought all cog tags in gears was a b**h, but that was b4 playing asassin's creed, the city's are huge, the map system really blows, no friggin details on it, I will NOT get the templars and the flags, unless someone gives me a gameguide for freee, and that just aint gonna happen

These might be nit-picky, but they definitely made me go, "Are you F*n' serious?!"

- Seriously... Achievement on Gears of War. Who SERIOUSLY has enough time to kill 10,000 people online? Give me a break.

- He Shoots, He Scores! Achievement in NHL 08. You have to score a goal on SUPERSTAR MODE (that's the hardest, by the way) with your goalie. How's THAT for fun?

Those are the only ones that made me just want to quit the game. hahahaha.

Havent played that, but it sounds amazingly pointless. I've heard there are even negative achievments, with negative points in them. Like "die 50 times" -5G. Haven't gotten any or even seen them in a game myself though.

u dont get negative points when u get it it says something like negative: lose 5 mp matches in a row

I've been playing the NHL games since 1998, and never have I scored with the goalie.

Anyways, I hate some of the Ridge Racer 6 achievements. Some of the achievements are next to impossible.

There is no such thing as a negative point achievement...

And I think the 0g achievs are funny... it's not like you have to get them for a 1000g score, so why do you complain?

I hate any achievement that involves collecting stuff but also the Command and Conquer 3 achievements were lame becuase ther ewer eachievement for passing the game on easy, medium and hard, passing it on hard does not give you the achievement for easy and medium and the campaign is not fun enough to want to go through 3 times

I hate achievments that just involve you wasting your frikin time. Like seven day survivor for dead rising, or call of duty 5 and gears of war, where they just say "get 100 kills" umm hello, ANYONE can get 100 kills, they just have to have enough time to rack them up! CoD4 is like the one game I've seen that says "get in the top 3 of a free for all match" or something like that, something that doesn't involve just getting a bunch of kills or points. Something that involves SKILL!

Most people don't understand why you said this, until you also note that the credits are 20 minutes long. No lie. You have to watch the whole thing

You technically have to watch the credits to get the achievement. Leave the room make a sandwich eat the sandwich then come back and see if it's done yet.

There are a lot of stupid achievements. Like in GRAW, be on the top of the leaderboards. Yeah, pretty stupid if you ask me. Also in the upcoming game Turok, they have one for killing your own teammates online. Also, really stupid.

People are saying the "be number 1 on the world wide leader boards" isnt an achievement? That most deff is something with bragging about, althrough i do think they should be worth more points.

But as far as my dumbest achievement/achievements....

Kameo had some pretty dumb ones, i think any games with achievements that are worth zero points are kinda dumb and pointless.

PGR4 has an achievement u have to buy...achievements do nothing, why would you PAY for one? I love achievement just as much as anyone, but im not going to buy one.

The new online achievement craze seems to be to beat someone that help make the game (Guitar Hero 3 and another game, i cant think of the name right now) but they have achievements to beat the creators of the game in a match?!
