[360] Achievement Hunting

I'm very much with Devo when it comes to multiplayer achievements. As a general rule I think they can all fuck off and die, but I really loathe those that affect how people actually play the damn game (especially since it nearly always makes them play like fucking retards).

You're not missing out on anything. I had Lost Planet for a while and the multiplayer was fucking horrible. It seemed to be people rushing the mech-suit things and then camping spawn points, which was a lot of fun. -__-

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They're OK, but those ones that anyone can get through regular play also tend to be somewhat dull (obviously BF1943 is a special case as it's only multiplayer). For my money I still see Call of Duty 4 as the best example of how to do it, with good single-player only achievements and then a different reward system for the multiplayer that builds around the way you play rather than forcing you to play certain ways.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The person responsible for this should be publicly tied up and left for anyone who was killed as a result of this moronic idea of an achievement to beat to a bloody pulp. It's annoying enough when you get idiots playing stupidly because of achievements, but at least they are usually aiming their bullets at the other team. That right there is in its own special world of dumb though. -______-

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Issue with attempting that one online is that if for any reason your Internet hiccups during the 7-8 hours required to play all the stock Rock Band 2 songs then you're fucked and all that effort will have been for nothing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You mental bastard russ, good work.

I was speaking idiomatically.
