I could take them or leave them. Like Deni said, they are mostly pointless, and have the potential to do more harm to games themselves. And like Scarlet said, Mass Effect did it pretty nicely. Rewarding you with the ability to use certain weapons or skills on second playthroughs and as classes restricted from those types is rather nice (Hello assault rifle wielding adept!) And I know I'd rather stab myself than do the entire Tower of Lost Souls to unlock a fancy pair of panties for my character in Soul Calibur IV. In these cases, Achievements actually made things more fun (or easier).
As for achievements I really enjoyed, the Conan game had no benefit for unlocking them, but they are fun as fuck to get. 100 dismemberments? 500 dismemberments? 1000 dismemberments? Decapitate a captain with a shield? Kill 50 enemies by BOULDER THROW? Fuck yes, give me a reason to keep doing the first few levels over again with Song of Death on so I feel like a marauding barbarian for realz. Edit: The great thing about chopping off 1000 limbs isn't chopping off 1000 limbs, it's showing everyone online that I did. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just remembered something about achievements that made me angry. A story, in fact. About me and a member of GFF and longtime friend of mine, Rotorblade.
I am not so great at Dead or Alive. Not because of any specific reason, just don't really give a shit. I find out one day that my friend has Dead or Alive 4, so I figure what the hell, let's give it a shot. Anyway, the little cocksucker counters everything and I wish he'd die. Pick something other than Ayane you fucking asshole. This goes on for a while, until I see *gasp* an achievement! *Gasp* TWO achievements! Achievement Unlocked: Ten Straight Losses. Achievement Unlocked: Achieve Grade "D" They are both worth 0 points. So why do they exist? To remind me that I lost TEN TIMES IN A ROW? So people can see it and think I'll be an easy fight? Those were fucking stupid. As soon as I got them, I put the disc in the case, and put the case on a shelf, and have yet to even consider opening it again. That could also be because it's pretty shitty, but whatever. Most amazing jew boots |
